So, I am Kim Turner and I write Western Historical
and now Contemporary romance. My first story, SAWYER’S ROSE came out in March
of 2016 and was a Golden Heart and Maggie Finalist. The series is called The
McCades of Cheyenne and book two is WYATT’S BOUNTY, which was released in
April of this year. Now both of these stories are available on AUDIBLE which
has been exciting. I have been working on DAWSON’S HAVEN, the third book in the
series and I am hoping everyone loves this McCade brother just as much. Dawson
is an Indian Agent who finds himself accused of a crime he didn’t commit and
falling for the only woman who can save him.
Just so you guys know, I am working on a contemporary story. Here is the gist: Horse stuntman falls for the nurse consultant on the set of a television series. This one has a lot of suspense with her running from her past and him running to her!! Sexier than my usual, but I already love these characters. This will be a 3 brother series and the Decker brothers are hot! I promise you won’t be disappointed! I also just found out that I have a contract on this story from The Wild Rose Press, so very excited about that.
Look for both these stories some time in 2018!!!
SAWYER'S ROSE Blurb:
Will a sheriff set on avenging his father rescue the mail order bride with secrets of her own?
SAWYER'S ROSE Excerpt:
“I’m a lawman, remember, and I
read people very well. I know when I’m only hearing part of a story.”
Her blue eyes narrowed, and that
too-enticing flush lit her cheeks to a bright pink. She darted past him to look
out across the ranch and then spoke. “I came here looking for a new life. Accepting a husband is
a means to survival for any woman in the West. But getting here and finding out
you didn’t send for me—” She swung around. “Well that’s certainly a relief. I
thought I was going to step off the train in Cheyenne, be whisked to the judge
and right into your bed. Frankly, that idea was rather frightening.”
Was she trying to be funny? It
wasn’t that the thought hadn’t crossed
his mind. Bedding her would be more than interesting, but he didn’t need a
wife. Not right now. “Then why are you here?”
“I wanted to see the West and find
adventure like I told you. So why not start here? Did you read the papers I
sent?” She shook her head realizing he hadn’t.
“I suppose your mother got those.”
He supposed so, too.
“I filled in my application.” She
took a deep breath, “And I realized I had led an incredibly normal life. An only
child, raised by my father, schooled in the proper etiquette, sent to
university, and spoiled to the point I hadn’t lived for myself. I am here to
create a new life—my life. If you do not wish to marry, I will find my own way,
which is probably best anyway.” She stared out across the horizon, blinking
back tears.
“You can’t stay here alone, not in
Cheyenne. I’ll get your fare paid and send you home.”
She snapped around and glared at
him. “I will not be returning home, regardless of a marriage. You have no idea
what I am capable of, and I think that makes me somewhat of a—thorn in your
side?”
Sawyer wasn’t sure which was more
annoying, her presence and will to stay or the thoughts she made him think. She
wasn’t a thorn, but damned if he’d be able to sleep with her in the same house
for any length of time.
When he only nodded, a knowing
smile spread across her face. “Good.”
As furious as he was, he couldn’t
take his eyes off the sway of her hips as she spun around and went inside. She
couldn’t possibly think she would be staying in Cheyenne as an unescorted
woman. Well, he had no intention of marrying her either, and one way or the
other he’d see her on a train back to New York if it was the last thing he did.
WYATT'S BOUNTY Blurb:
Bounty
hunter Wyatt McCade is recklessly
taking down one outlaw at a time. Hard work is one way to forget Tess
Sullivan’s womanly curves. But when he learns that she never left Cheyenne, he
rides home and right into a trap. Left for dead, he recovers in the capable
hands of the lady doctor and even if she can’t forgive herself, loving her is
the easy part. But when McCade lands are threatened and he uncovers the truth,
it is Tess who is caught in the balance. Finding himself on the bounty hunt of
his life, he’ll risk it all to rescue the woman he loves.
Doctor Tess Sullivan
shattered her own heart by turning down Wyatt McCade’s proposal. Worse than the
hurt in his eyes was watching him ride out of Cheyenne, knowing she’d made the
biggest mistake of her life. Pining for his return, she blames herself when he
is brought to Cheyenne beaten and near death. Forgiveness comes quickly in the
arms of the bounty hunter she has always loved, but she soon finds herself the
pawn in a deadly game of revenge, praying Wyatt will find her before it’s too
late.
Will
a bounty hunter set on revenge risk it all to rescue the woman who walked
away?
WYATT'S BOUNTY Excerpt:
"Wyatt?"
"Huh?"
"I
loved you...long before Israel died." The confession rocked her thoughts.
She had loved Israel, but she had longed for Wyatt years before Israel had
died. It had been wrong and there were times it made her feel like she hadn’t
done right by her deceased husband. She weaved her fingers into Wyatt’s,
touching with tenderness where the fracture had been. “I did, right or wrong. I
mean...I loved Israel, we had so much in common with his study of science and
plants and my study of medicine, but I was guilty of dreaming for you long
before...he died."
His
smile was tender as he lifted her chin. “I’ve known that for a long time, Doc.
And I can’t count how many nights I lay awake, wishing I were holding you.”
She
held tighter to him. “And when you left Cheyenne, it was all my fault. I knew I
had made a mistake. I wasn’t even myself without you. It was as if I kept
falling and falling, never hitting the ground to land anywhere.”
With
that he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. “I’ll always be here to catch
you, Doc, always.”
