Colorado for inspiration by Rhonda Lee Carver



My second trip to Colorado was spectacular!

I didn't take many pics because time got away from me. But we visited Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods. 

I came away with a lot of inspiration.

Describing the mountains never compares to actually seeing them in person. There's a mystic quality about the area that rejuvenates the soul and mind. I didn't realize how much I needed an electrical jolt to my body and mind. 

Have you been to Colorado? I'd love to hear where your favorite spot(s) are.

HERE'S what I've been up to...





 They thought it was one night. A secret. A mistake they’d never make again. They were dead wrong.

 

This age-gap romance anthology is a fever-dream of obsession, taboo heat, and men old enough to know better who don't care. He’s her best friend’s dad. Her professor. Her boss. The man she ran from…and the one she keeps running back to.

 

Inside, you’ll find possessive men who break every rule—billionaires crossing lines, sheriffs protecting more than secrets, and professors failing their own moral tests. With runaway brides, enemies who can’t stay dressed, and fake fiancés who turn dangerously real, this collection drips with angst, jealousy, and filthy devotion.

 

Come for the chaos. Stay for the slow burns that snap, the anti-heroes who                never beg but will grovel for her.

 

You haven’t read age-gap romance like this. Until now.

Pre-Order Here!

The Texas Heat is hotter than ever. Love unfolds and protective sides unravel.

When members of the Texas Heat Rangers Reconnaissance Team are ambushed and shot, they receive orders NOT to retaliate. However, rules mean little when someone wants to eliminate the undercover team off the map.

First, they must recover from near-fatal injuries.

Sharp Creed returns home to Fin’s Creek to recuperate and plan his vengeance, but something diverts his focus—a beautiful, untrusting single mother who has moved into the neighboring house. Although he tries to resist getting involved in whatever drama she is chasing, he feels drawn to her fiery independence and spirit. And the kid ain’t so bad either.

CaDee Lang has twenty dollars to her name and is on the run from her troubled past. She comes across a job ad that could be the lifesaver she needs. Yet, can she pull it off? She has no inkling how to run a farm.

Almost immediately, she finds herself face-to-face with a brooding cowboy, a ranger, and a local hero. The last thing she needs is him getting involved in her business. She’ll do anything to keep her son safe, but can she handle a menacing cowboy?

As she starts to realize Sharp isn’t the enemy, she understands he may be the only one who can truly protect her son. However, what will shield her bruised heart from the unexpected feelings that arise?

Why do authors not mention what's underneath the jeans? by Rhonda Lee Carver

 I love reading reader questions. They definitely put a smile on my face. Recently, I was asked by one reader, "When those sexy cowboys are undressing, why don't authors mention what kind of undies they're wearing?" Great question. I've thought of this too, at least for myself. 

So, let's think about this together...

Are you interested in what style of undies sexy cowboys wear? After all, there could be all kinds of problems down there if a man isn't wearing something that's comfortable. 

1. What undies look best on a man?





2. What feels best?

Something soft and silky, perhaps?




3. What supports the man with a BIG...ego?




4. What's most functional?






What do you think?


New Cover. New Pre-order!




Plagued with guilt after her brother’s death, a grieving woman has a chance at a second chance.


Living in a haze of mistrust and tragedy, Chosen Shaw has closed herself off from everyone. Once known for her ability to see things that can help others, she’s now the woman who killed her brother.

Bend Ryder is the new sheriff in town and has a mess to clean up after the last one met an untimely death. He’s eating, sleeping and breathing a cold case involving a mysterious kidnapping, and is willing to do anything to solve the case—even if that includes looking outside of the box. Truthfully, he doesn’t believe Chosen has a “gift” but enlisting her help might be his only hope.

But, she’s left that world behind. Can he convince her to help?

Soon, they find themselves embroiled in another kidnapping.

The two find a solid connection, despite the pressures all around them. As trust and romance grow, the demons of the past start to build walls. They have a tight hold on her emotionally and physically. If she has any chance for a future with the man she loves, she must absolve herself from the guilt and let love heal her heart...and help solve a crime that has been a dark cloud over Second Chance.

Protecting His Second Chance is a story of grief, guilt, angst, redemption, and a happily ever after. Love is the ultimate healer.



SNEAK PEEK of an UNEDITED SNIPPET!

“It’s okay. This happens to all men at least once.”

Bend Ryder drew his hand away from his face and looked down at the naked woman curled up in his bed. She looked at him through a veil of thick eyelashes and her plump lips slowly eased into a grin. Farrah was new in town, visiting her aunt after her husband, Sheriff Jackson Mellough, met an untimely death.

Two days after his funeral, the town of Second Chance elected Bend to office. Since, he’d been busy cleaning up the mess Mellough had created.

Farrah walked her slender fingers down his abs and paused at the shiny silver buckle. The slight movement caused the sheet to slip, exposing her bare bottom. Sweat beaded his brow. “Maybe I can help solve the problem,” she purred.

She shifted to her knees, but Bend caught her shoulders in a gentle grip. Her chin snapped up and she nailed him with her brooding brown gaze. The tip of her tongue slid over her bottom lip as if to remind him what he was turning away.

A woman as beautiful and seductive as Farrah had never faced this problem, he guessed, even if she tried to pacify his ego by saying this happened all the time. A streak of disappointment sliced through him. Truthfully, he’d never had this…issue before tonight.
