Josie and Wade are at the top of the heroes and heroines from Laramie, Texas family tree. Parents to the five strapping McCabe sons, their romance got its start in Wildcat Cowboy. With a new cover and now in digital format, readers can get Wildcat Cowboy again in either paperback book or e-book format… Wednesday, May 01 2013
Dear Reader,
THE LONG, HOT TEXAS SUMMER introduces Amanda Bliss Johnson, a carpenter hired by philanthropist Justin McCabe, to complete work on the Laramie Boys Ranch he is founding. Problem is, the former wild child Amanda is better at handling troubled teens than he is. With his job as director suddenly in jeopardy, Justin wonders if his own squeaky clean past will cost him his long-held dream, and the happiness he wants. THE TEXAS CHRISTMAS GIFT showcases venture capitalist Derek McCabe and high-end Dallas realtor Eve Laughlin. Eve must win a sales contest to shore up the spirits of her ailing mother and simultaneously find a home for Derek and his infant daughter. Derek wants to pursue the attraction they feel, but Eve never gets emotionally involved with clients. Will her stubborn refusal to risk her heart cost them both the joy they want so badly? THE TEXAS WILDCATTER'S BABY begins with unexpected news, an even more surprising proposal, and a decision to casually "share space" via a honeymoon cottage for the rest of the year. Although lady wildcatter Ginger Rollins and environmental engineer Rand McCabe vow that none of these events will change them—or their outlook on life in the slightest—, the third parties involved in their situation have other plans. Before Ginger and Rand know it, they are closer than ever. But is theirs the kind of closeness that will last? I hope you have as much fun reading this new series as I did writing it! Best wishes, Cathy Gillen Thacker Thursday, April 25 2013
Dear Readers,
There are 33 titles available on the Harlequin website for purchase, as I write this, including all of the books set in Laramie, Texas, (29, with two more on the way later in the year) and two bigger books: TEXAS VOWS—also a Laramie, Texas novel, and THE HEIRESS, which is set in Charleston South Carolina, and part of the Deveraux Legacy series. Having trouble keeping it all straight? It’s understandable. To help readers, I am working on a family tree, that will be up later this summer, that will show how all the heroes and heroines from Laramie, Texas are connected. In the meantime, I’ve put together a great series guide, with excerpts and story information (i.e. the kind of thing you read on the back cover of every book) for each title. It is located on my website. So if you like to read a few pages before deciding whether to buy a book or not, this is for you…. Here is the link for the website—series guide. When you visit, feel free to look around, there are Texas recipes and answers to frequently asked questions, as well as general information about me and my writing career. And here is the link to the Harlequin website, where many of my books can now be found. Have a great spring! And look for my new book out in May, 2014. Best wishes, Tuesday, March 26 2013
Looking for something new to read? Enjoy the free online read of my book “A McCabe at Heart” over on Harlequin’s website. You can read a chapter a day.

Dear Reader, We all have plans for our lives, formed as we grow up. I thought I was going to live in a house with a white picket fence. (Didn’t happen, although I do have a fence, and I do have a house.) I thought I’d marry a great guy (did happen), a brilliant absent-minded professor type (he is that) who also could make me laugh like no one else. (Gotta admit, he can be hilarious.) I also figured I’d be a mom and have a career, and that all took place, too. But what ensues, I wondered, when the plans you’ve made take detours that aren’t the kind that are easily recovered from? Mac Wheeler grew up wanting a high-powered career, and a wife and family, and he had all that—until the day an unexpected tragedy occurred, and he found himself a single dad with a constantly traveling lifestyle that was not what his only child needed.

Dear Reader, There's never a good time for a crisis. Especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. But the "season of giving" has a way of bringing family and friends together—when we're lucky, in ways that last forever. Chase Armstrong has been avoiding the heartache at home for years when he finally decides to return to his Texas roots. He knows it will be tough seeing the only family he has left. He doesn't expect to be hit with news that will change his life. Merri Duncan is worried about Chase's homecoming, too. She's been wondering what he plans to do, regarding the niece and nephew he has long neglected. And she knows he isn't likely to approve of what she has done to the Armstrong clan's Broken Arrow ranch, in his absence. Monday, June 25 2012
Dear Reader, Crisis—in the form of illness—eventually strikes every family, and Texans Matt Briscoe and his father, Emmett Briscoe, are no exception. Matt’s mother’s death profoundly affected Matt, and his dad. Although, they sought very different remedies for their broken hearts… Since then, Matt has tried to control everything he can in life. He goes the extra mile to protect his vulnerable father. Matt’s dad, always something of a risk-taker, and a very loving, if egocentric man, has tried another approach. Constantly seeking to replace the passion he lost, Emmett has married multiple times, to disastrous result. And now, much to Matt’s consternation, Emmett is at it again. Enter bronze sculptor Jen Carson. She, too, lost her mom, and dealt with the fallout from her father’s crushed dreams. Now, she takes nothing for granted, and tries to control nothing except her own reaction to things.
