Harker’s Hell. Early settlers thought they’d found a western re-creationist’s heaven. Instead this new world became a hellish version of the Old West.

And now the seeds of long-ago conflict are stirring to life…

  BETRAYED—FORCED INTO OBEDIENCE

 
Dissonance Walker is in a world of trouble. Sold by her parents for the price of a cookstove, she is used as a lab rat by a secret organization. Even though her ability to

disobey was ripped away by a brutal experiment, she isn’t ready to give up. When she escapes her captors, Dissonance believes the worst is over. She’s dead wrong. She’s captured again…and this time, sold as a pleasure slave.

The key to reversing the experiment lies hidden in the stretch of arid waste called the Badlands. Only the too-sexy bounty hunter who bought her stands in her way.

HE LOOKED LIKE HE PICKED HIS TEETH WITH THE BONES OF HIS ENEMIES

Bram Spencer is sure the heat has baked his brains. With his friend murdered and his ranch under attack, he has a little unfinished business he needs to attend. Buying some fool woman because she pokes at scabs he thought long healed hadn’t been part of the plan. Then he discovers the only way to set her free is to marry her.

Secrets have a long life. Sometimes decades. Now the past is about to slam into the present. Only trust in each other can save them from a shocking evil…but trust is a hard commodity to come by on the frontier.

The second book in the Bonifay Family series by Keira Cole, following Come and Get It

As one of the youngest Bonifays, Rebecca suffered the most when her parents died, but with the strength of her close-knit Texas family behind her, she came through it and now helps run the Bonifay ranch and her own horse rescue operation. She’s also matured into a sexy and beautiful woman with an itch that needs scratching. Setting her sights on Jesse English, the dark cowboy who’s recuperating at the ranch, Rebecca decides it’s time to stop letting her older siblings call the shots and start taking charge of her own desires.

Jesse is a drifter through and through. Orphaned at a young age, he’s seen the worst of state care and foster homes, and he knows better than to put down roots in any one place for long. Scarred by his drug-addled father, he knows he’s not good-looking enough for a woman like Rebecca, and with nothing to offer her, he just wants to get healthy at the ranch and move on before he gets hurt again.

As Jesse begins to heal and Rebecca makes it more than clear that she wants the moody and ruggedly handsome cowboy to be her first, he has to fight every impulse he has as a man to keep her at a distance. But there’s no denying the headstrong beauty or the raging passion building between them, and as the two struggle with their conflicting needs they discover a stronger connection that just might give them both the chance to mend their damaged hearts.

Confessions of a Semi-Lazy Author

Hey Y'all,
Okay, it's confession time. I'm a horrible blogger. It's true, as anyone who has checked lately had no trouble ascertaining. As lame as it is, I have to divulge the fact that I'd completely forgotten my email address and the password. Fortunately, I tend to be a little lazy when it comes to emptying out the trash can under my desk. Don't judge, it's not like it was overflowing...mainly because I never throw anything away. My desk often overflows with bits of paper...some funny quote I wrote down on a scrap of paper, stuff I've printed out to put in one of the research binders I've put together, the odd phone number, or reminders that I have an appointment for this or that. I tossed out the scrap of paper with my Keira Cole email and password scribbled on it. I looked right at it without wondering if I remembered the entire addy and the password. Fortunately, it was in that not quite overflowing trash bin and I was able to dig it out. So, for those of you kind enough to stop by and view my blog site, thank you! For those kind enough to email me, thank you!

So, Runaway Cowboy was released on June 6th and has gotten some wonderful reviews. Thanks to those who took the time to read it and left such great comments. Knowing the book, though smaller than I would have liked, is appreciated is very gratifying and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Daisy Bonifay's book is the next in the series. I confess I'm having a bit of a rough time finding just the right storyline for her. I've tossed out two rounds of opening chapters so far. They just didn't feel right. This happens now and again and boy is it frustrating. I think I've got it and then *kaboom* I lose it. And if I've learned anything in these past few years it's to pay attention to my gut. If it's not coming to me, there's a reason and that reason always means it's not the right storyline for that particular character. Moaning and head banging often follows this revelation. In fact, I'm thinking of doing some head banging now. I just don't have a handle on my hero yet. I'm pretty sure I have Daisy figured out but Greg is not coming to me and I'm pretty sure he's going to fight me the whole way through the story. Which must mean he's a contrary cuss.

It's funny that Daisy is the one giving me the most trouble because she's the sweetest of all the siblings, at least in my mind (but let's face it, that could change). I have strong ideas for the last two books of the series - Tammy first, and Bennett last because, well, ladies first. I am southern after all.

As I end this post, I'm starting to get an inkling of who my hero is, I just have to double check the first story to make sure I have the name right. Yes, I am that forgetful sometimes. I blame it on the voices in my head, all of whom tempt me to put this one on hold in favor of their stories. But it's one in the morning and the voices need to shut the heck up until I get some sleep.

Oh, for anyone wondering, I do belong to Google+ but I have no idea how to use it. Hanging head in shame.
