My three historical western romance books in the hugely popular Pinkerton Matchmaker Series are AN AGENT FOR MAGDALA, AN AGENT FOR LYDIA, and AN AGENT FOR JUDITH. I can’t thin k of another series that has sustained the interest of readers for this length of time.
Christine Sterling conceived the series parameters
and wrote several of the books. Multiple other authors signed up for release dates
and revealed the names of the hero and heroine their story included. Now Barr26 has acquired publishing rights for the series and is in the process of turning each book into an audio version. Although the links below are for Amazon, Barr26 has also
made the series available at multiple stores.
Each of these books features an
adventure, mystery, and romance. Research for these three broadened my
knowledge of the time period and locations. Writing them turned into an
enjoyable experience. Including mystery and adventure in my books is something
I love. I hope readers do!
Let me share the three selections I contributed to this popular series. First is AN AGENT FOR MAGDALA.
The heroine is from the fictional western European contry of Bayergrovenia. I also used that country in SAVE YOUR HEART FOR ME. Bayergrovenia is politically neutral like the Swiss. The small country is snuggled between France, Switzerland, and Germany. Magdala and her parents recently emigrated to Washington, D.C. She craves adventure, but she might have gone too far in traveling to Denver to become a Pinkerton agent. Douglas Ryan has been nicknamed “Cloud” by his colleagues because of the startling color of his blue eyes, which some think remind them of the sky on a cloudy day. Cloud loves his job as a Pinkerton agent enough that he will tolerate (under protest) being paired with a woman. He resents his boss requiring he work with a woman—even one as beautiful as Magdala. Cloud and Magdala are sent to San Antonio, Texas, to capture jewel thieves plaguing the Menger Hotel. Can they work together well enough to protect themselves and catch the thieves?
When Lydia Wood is left at the altar, she believes something beyond her groom’s control happened. Two years with no word hardens her heart. She decides to become a Pinkerton agent and discover what fascinated her lost groom. Pinkerton agent Jake Hunter has finally recovered from injuries that put him in a coma the day he planned to marry. He realizes that if Lydia had been with him, she would have been injured or killed. To protect the one person who means the world to him, he decides to keep his distance from her. As Pinkerton agents, the two are paired to find a gang of dangerous robbers on the run. Lydia and Jake must work together to survive.
Judith McAdams is determined to rescue
her brother in New Mexico. In his last letter he wrote that his neighbor wanted
his ranch because of the water. She decides the best way for success is to
become a Pinkerton agent. Peyton Knight values his job as a Pinkerton agent
enough to enter a marriage of convenience with Judith. The woman who raised
Judith and her brother insists on tagging along. The group encounters a
community terrorized and filled with corruption.
As you can see above, both Magdala a d Judith have thick, dark red hair. I confess that I've wish for that kind of hair most of my life. I even tried dying it once. Sigh. It's just not the same.
If you haven’t read these exciting book,
why not choose them now? Travel with Magdala, Lydia, and Judith to the Old West
where adventure awaits you.
Thanks for stopping by.
