Roped Into Paradise

 

Picture a snowy central Oregon ranch, with several feet of snow on the ground in mid-January. Envision a handsome rancher up in the wee hours of the morning, scraping the windshield of his pickup so he can drive to the airport. 

This cowboy is heading to Florida, as he does every year, to spend two weeks with his grandmother at her condo, completing her honey-do list and celebrating her birthday. 

JJ travels light, just two changes of clothes in his duffle bag. Grams has a washing machine, and he's left the paint clothes he's worn on previous visits there anyway. 

When he arrives at the condo, hours later than he planned due to ice on the runway and missing his connecting flight, he finds his grandmother's hot pink luggage piled just inside the door of her condo. 

Too tired to consider what it means, he heads to bed, only to be awakened early by Grams, who informs him they need to do some shopping for him before they leave to catch their 11-day cruise to the Caribbean. 

My new release, Roped Into Paradise, is the story of JJ, Grams, her wacky friends, and a cruise that will change his life forever when he unexpectedly falls in love with the horticulturist on the ship. 

A cowboy, a cruise, and a meddling grandma.

What could go wrong?

JJ McKade expected to spend two weeks with his grandmother at her condo in sunny Florida, celebrating her birthday. Instead, he got shanghaied by his mischievous grandma on a Caribbean cruise—complete with hot pink luggage, a gaggle of giggling octogenarians, and a humiliating childhood nickname haunting his every move.

Between meddling matchmakers, unexpected friendships, and the endless chaos of cruise life, JJ can’t help being drawn to Kinsley Kline, the ship’s enchanting horticulturist. There’s just one catch: crew fraternizing with passengers is strictly forbidden.

With only a few months left in her contract aboard The Affinity, Kinsley can’t let anything rock her boat or derail her plans. Then the arrival of a hunky cowboy on the ship makes her question if some rules are meant to be broken, and a little boat rocking is a good thing.

From sun-drenched beaches to moonlit strolls, JJ and Kinsley must decide if an onboard romance can last on land, and if love is worth risking their hearts.

Packed with laughter, longing, and a grandmother who refuses to play by the rules, Roped Into Paradise is a heartwarming romantic comedy about family, hope, and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of witty banter, slow-burn romance, and cruise ship escapades that sweep you off your feet.
