A Blurb By Any Other Name


Musician Hunter Blake returns to Banbury Cross to win back his true love, Kate. Will they find a way to make beautiful music again?

Not even a cock horse could bring musician Hunter Blake back to Banbury Cross, yet here he stood, ten years after leaving, to make amends for his past behavior and win back his true love, Katherine Banbury. Their relationship was in perfect harmony until Hunter's excessive drinking tore them apart. Now sober, he's focused on doing whatever it takes to prove he's worthy of her love.

Kate spent the last ten years determined to forget Hunter. With a developer intent on turning her ancestral home into tract housing, Kate had her hands full. When Hunter returns, vivid memories of their passionate history stoke the flames of desire between them. Will Kate fight the attraction or will she open her heart to love once more?
  
I have leaped over the final hurdles. All that is left is release day, which, if I haven't blurted it out enough, is May 25th from Breathless Press. It seems so far off but I know it will be here faster than I think.

I thought I would share how Ride a Cock Horse came to exist. The book was not what I was working on. It wasn't even an idea in the back of my head. Honestly, it started out as a distraction, a way to get over a block I was suffering. I saw the submissions call for the line of Naughty Nursery Rhymes at Breathless Press. I shared a chuckle over several titles with some authors on Facebook.

I googled a few. Tell me that title didn't scream naughty erotic romance—I dare you. An idea formed. I ran with it and subbed fully expecting a 'thanks, but no thanks'.  Sometimes, the unexpected can take you places you hadn't planned. I can't thank Breathless Press or my editor enough for giving me a chance.

For those of you who know me, it should not surprise you I went with a musician. I am sure I looked for some musical element when I searched for a nursery rhyme in earnest. I enjoyed writing it and am thrilled beyond words it will be published. I will be sharing an excerpt with you soon.
