This book is packed with action, strong alpha males, and women with heart and sass. For those of you who read Lawfully Charmed, you know that Doc Holloway is a good soul, dedicated physician, and not a person to be messed with. Add to that a woman who is a Suffragette, independent, and has a huge heart, and you have a pretty amazing romance just waiting to be told.

Here’s the book blurb:

Claire Clarke is a natural-born matchmaker. She thinks her best friend Magdalena Allen and the handsome Doctor Lance Holloway of Bareglen Creek would be perfect together.
Simply perfect.

But Magdalena is wounded, and has no interest in men. 
Not now. Not ever.

She has one domineering man in her life already (her father) and she definitely doesn’t need another.

She’s perfectly content to remain single, but her father doesn’t agree. He’s given her three months to find a husband or he’ll find one for her.

At Claire’s recommendation, Magdalena travels from 
Philadelphia to Bareglen Creek, TX to help the Sisters at the orphanage, and teach the children.

Doc Holloway is intrigued by Magdalena—he admires her fiery spirit and dedication to the orphans—but Magdalena finds him to be bossy and nearly as insufferable as her father, one of Philadephia’s most respected surgeons.

Each book I write for the Hero Hearts Historical series will end with the word charmed. In this case, Magdalena Allen is a suffragette, and she’s headed to Bareglen Creek, Texas to work with the Sisters and teach children in an orphanage for two months.

Magdalena, originally from Philadelphia, is best friends with Claire Hawarden Clarke, the protagonist and matchmaker in the first book in the Hero Hearts Bareglen Creek series, Lawfully Charmed. Claire is convinced that Magdalena is the perfect match for Doc Holloway (also a side character in Lawfully Charmed), but Claire has a lot of convincing to do for this match!

You see, Doc Holloway is very interested in Magdalena, but Magdalena plans to remain single for the rest of her life and has absolutely no intention of getting married — ever. (She has some solid reasons behind this, but you’ll have to read Reluctantly Charmed to find out what they are.)  : )

In this book, Magdalena is a suffragette, and thereby a heroine to every woman who appreciates the right to vote, own a business, and have the same rights as men–and she also has a hero’s heart.

Doc Holloway is also a hero, as is every physician in my opinion, and you’ll understand that better as you read the many ways that he serves his community and patients in the book.

Reluctantly Charmed is due to be released by May 11th. Don’t miss it!

Jax walked down Main Street, hoping to find something that would quell his boredom. He’d wanted this, right? He’d wanted life to slow down—an environment of peace, fresh air, and boredom after his tours in Afghanistan. Yes, boredom. But now that it was here, he thought he might go mad.

He’d been up at sunrise for an early morning hike and now he was starving. On his stroll through town to find a breakfast place, he’d noticed that there were several new businesses in the area. He stopped in front of a bakery, salivating at the cupcake display in the window. His stomach growled. He almost never ate sugar, but the cupcakes in front of him looked amazing. They called to him. Carrot cake cupcakes are healthy because they contain carrots, right? He was rationalizing, and he knew it, but he wanted one.

Jax entered the bakery, his eyes on the display case filled with the prettiest cupcakes he’d ever seen. Who knew that almond sour cream vanilla cupcakes with ganache filling and white chocolate frosting were even a thing, he wondered as he read the label. A loud gasp pulled his eyes away from the cupcakes just in time to see a tray of cupcakes flying through the air toward him. He reacted instinctually and lunged forward, his muscles strained to grab the flying object, and he managed to get one hand beneath the tray and the other on an edge to stop the forward progress just before the cupcakes slid off.

“Got it.” He announced with relief, then looked directly into the eyes of the woman who had been monopolizing his thoughts over the last few days. “Peyton,” he smiled a slow, sly grin, “it looks like I came to your rescue again. Either that or you’re trying to kill me.” He stifled a laugh as he took in the sight of her—dark-blonde hair covered with streaks of flour, and green frosting smeared across the bridge of her delicate nose.

“I would have been okay, I don’t need anyone to come to my rescue, least of all you.” She declared with a scowl.

“I didn’t mean to imply otherwise.” His smile faded, not because of her comment, but because of the look she gave him. He hated to admit it, but seeing her again sent a signal through his body that his mind immediately countered with big red warning flags.

“I’m sorry,” Peyton sighed as her shoulders dropped, “that’s not entirely true.” She took the tray from him and set it on the counter. “Thank you. You saved the day, quite literally.”

“I’m glad I could help.” He studied her flushed cheeks. “It looks like you’ve been pretty busy this morning. You run the bakery and the farm?” He leaned against the cupcake display counter and folded his arms across his chest, resisting the urge to brush the frosting off her nose.

She nodded. “Oh, it’s been non-stop.” She brushed her hair back from her face with the back of her hand then picked up a cupcake, placed it on a plate and handed it to him. “Would you like some coffee to go with this for your troubles?”

He grinned. “If you wouldn’t mind that would be great.”

“No problem. How do you like it?” She poured a cup and then paused, her eyes meeting his.

“With company.” The words just slipped out. He clenched his hand at his side. Had he really just said that?

She dropped her eyes back to the coffee she’d just poured, but she responded with, “Ah, well. I suppose I could use a break.” She poured a second cup of coffee and pointed to a small table in the corner.  He watched her carefully, expecting at any moment that she would realize what she’d just done and scold him for something—anything. But she didn’t.

“This is the first time it’s been quiet all day. I’m sure it won’t last very long.”

“So you have a farm and a bakery?” He raised an eyebrow. “That’s a lot to juggle.”

“Actually, I don’t have either.” She sat down across from him. “It’s my twin sister’s farm, her bakery, and her ornery goats.”

Here’s an excerpt from the book featuring one of the main characters, Claire, and her brother.

This book was a lot of fun to write. Claire Hawarden is smart, sassy, independent, and caring. Sullivan Clarke, a sheriff, is strong, handsome, brave, and just a bit guarded. Claire travels to Bareglen Creek, TX (a fictional town) to help her sister who recently lost her husband. Claire has been given strict instructions to bring her sister and brother home to Philadelphia by her mother…but will she?

You’ll have to read LAWFULLY CHARMED to find out what happens between Claire and Sheriff Clarke!

The book also features a cameo appearance by Colossal, a longhorn, and early readers are calling for a side series to cover several of the additional characters in the book. Originally this book was intended to be a standalone novella, however, as the characters came to life, it became clear that several of them need their own story, as well. Stay tuned for a side series for Bareglen Creek!
