Introducing... Take the Reins, Cowgirl -

Ta-Da!!!

I’m thrilled to introduce the Cavanagh Cowgirls Romance series! If you’ve been around a while, you’ll have met the Cavanagh Cowboys. Right from the beginning, the six rugged brothers were plagued by their twin sisters, who were only 13 when first introduced. As their series grew in popularity, I began eyeing those sisters and wondering what their future would hold. And I realized that two sisters only made for two stories, and I like at least three per series, so I introduced their half-sister, Vivienne, in the third story.

Yes, I’ve been planning the Cavanagh Cowgirls series for THAT long! I kept Emma on the fringes as a kitchen helper in the Sweet River Ranch series as I noodled on the shape of the upcoming sisters’ trilogy. When I happened upon the idea of Declan helping them start Happy Trails Stables, I knew I’d found their niche.

I scanned the bits I’d written about them through previous series, including in Topaz Treasure, part of the Pot of Gold Geocaching romance series, and saw that a young teen, Josh, had a thing for Alexia, but that she liked another boy, Danny.

Josh. Hmm. What if…?

And the basics for Take the Reins, Cowgirl, were in place!

The series blurb is:

If your sister doesn’t have your back, who does? The three Cavanagh cowgirls put their differences aside to open Happy Trails Riding Stables together, but there’s not much they agree on except this: romance was great for their six big brothers, but they don’t need that complication. All they need is Girl Power… and Jesus.

About Take the Reins, Cowgirl

He crushed on her twin. Now she’s ready to take the reins and pursue the man she wants.

Middle-school teacher Emma Cavanagh and her two sisters join forces to start a boarding stable and riding academy on the edge of Jewel Lake, Montana. Their brother hires Josh to run a farrier shop on the premises. Great — it sounds like high school all over again when Emma had crushed on Josh, who’d only had eyes for her twin.

Josh McDiarmid can’t believe his luck running into Alexia Cavanagh again, but she’s as indifferent to him as she ever was. Josh enlists Emma to help him get her twin’s attention. When a crisis hits at Happy Trails Stables, Josh realizes he’s pursuing the wrong cowgirl.

Emma takes the reins to show Josh what love and loyalty look like. How can he undo his mistakes and prove to her that he should have seen her all along?
