A Highlander for Christmas by Paula Quinn
As the bard of the MacGregor clan, Finlay Grant is a natural-born charmer. He can easily win the heart of any lass… but somehow, the right words to express his love for stunning Leslie Harrison have eluded him. Yet as Christmastide approaches, Finn knows he must find a way to propose to the raven-haired beauty who has stolen his heart.
A Knight’s Redemption by Catherine Kean
Six Christmases ago, after refusing his kiss, Lady Mary Westbrook was locked in the dungeon by Lord Holden Kendall, a squire at Branton Keep. When an attempted child abduction days before Christmas brings Holden back to the castle, Mary must confront again what happened between them.
Holden is a grown warrior now, and he resolves to not only make matters right with Mary but finally win her kiss. Yet, as peril ensues, Mary must risk far more than a chance at love.
Christmas in Camelot by Brenda Jernigan
Sir Nicholas the Dragon’s orders are clear. He is to fend off the enemy besieging Noelle’s castle and bring the lady safely back to Camelot for her wedding day to Sir Gavin. But spending time with the proud beauty awakens an irresistible hunger in Nicholas. Now, as desire does battle with duty, Nicholas has only two choices — to surrender the woman he loves to another man or fight to the end to make her his own.

Does she know how to fix things?
A butter knife and hammer ;-)
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
She runs an animal rescue reserve. She needed to build a holding area for 2 serval cats that were going to come and live on her reserve. She had the housing she just needed to get the fencing up. And it had to be totally enclosed. And it’s November (she lives in Wisconsin so it’s cold). And her then 4-year-old wanted to ‘help’. She told him to go inside the small house and make the beds for the cats. He’d be out of the way and warm. After struggling with the wire with cold hands. She finally gets the enclosure done – it’s totally self-contained with only a small hole for the food and water. She’s proud of herself. She calls her son. He comes out of the house. Proud of himself also for the beds he made. She then realizes she has NO way to get him out….
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She loves all children. She welcomes school groups to her reserve.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She would like a quite time with her coffee and a doughnut but her son prefers coloring and cheerios while singing Down by the Bay
Can she use chopsticks?
Nope. She’s tried and decided after trying to using them and flipping a wonton through the air and hitting a stranger in the eye with it that it would be best to stick with a fork.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
She loves strong black coffee
What apps would she have on her phone?
The wheels on the bus J
Android or iPhone?
Android

Earrings – small studs of unicorns
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Several. They are all wildlife connected

Personal but she sooooo needs a new one.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle – everything.

I live in the cold Northern Michigan (the place of four seasons – they lie! It’s just different levels of winter) with my husband. Our children have begun their own adventures, and just as I got into the swing of empty nest, then my grandson came to live with us. Now I’m doing 7 again… they argue everything just case you forgot. And I now remember why I eat doughnuts. When I’m not hanging out with the 7-year-old, I’m writing, reading, crocheting, and making self-care products. I also enjoy taking pictures, I’m not claiming to have a talent it’s just something I like to do.

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): spicy
A Saddle Creek Christmas Romance
Four close and loyal friends since childhood, now grown men, make plans to celebrate Christmas but are threatened with unforeseen perils that strike close to home. Cold snow and freezing temperatures came early in Saddle Creek, Wyoming, a small town outside Jackson Hole in the shadows of the Grand Tetons mountains but wreak havoc on all their lives. Through trials and tribulations of unexpected visitors, family members, and ghosts from the past, as well as triumphs and joys, this year would be special in so many ways, because they each find the true meaning of Christmas.
A Family Christmas
Chase is forced into protective mode, when a ghost from Lauren’s past threatens to destroy, not only their Christmas, but their lives.
Christmas Decisions
Samantha (Sam) and Elliott’s suffer growing pains are put to the test when Sam’s newly divorced sister arrives unexpectantly five days before Christmas to lean on her baby sister.
Christmas Surprises
Avri and Dillon’s Christmas may be ruined when Dillon has one last dangerous mission, but does he return in time for Christmas? And can Avri, once again, forgive him?
Why did you write this book?
It seemed an appropriate ending to a great series, tying all the characters introduced so far together and also a hook to read the next book in the series.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romantic Suspense
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
What are you working on at the moment?
I have a number of projects going. I’m in the midst of writing the fourth story in the Saddle Creek series, Moonlight Kisses and MugShots; I’m also working on a Novella for an anthology to be released next spring, as well as editing three or four other books I’ve already written.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
You’ll see A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot in an anthology, Moonlight Kisses and MugShots, Lost and Found, Deadly Homecoming, and Deadly Intuition. They’re all in different stages.
