When Tex Beckett arrives at Ravena Reid’s farm, he’s eight years too late for the elopement they’d once planned—and it’s far too early to win her forgiveness. He’s seriously wounded, though, and she can’t turn him away, though she knows better than to trust him. Yes, it’s wonderful having help with the farm, and with the orphans she fosters, but if she opens her heart, she’ll get hurt again when he leaves. And Tex always leaves.

 

As a notorious bank robber, Tex is used to danger. Yet reuniting with the only woman he’s ever loved is the riskiest thing he’s ever done. All he wants is to stay with Ravena and the children. But can he build a new start before his past catches up with him?

Five Fun Facts about The Renegade’s Redemption

1. The final scenes of this book take place on Independence Day. And while I knew the release date for the book was in July 2017, I didn’t pay much attention to which day. So it was serendipitous and lots of fun when I realized it was releasing on Independence Day.

2. Though my debut novel features a female outlaw, this was my first time writing a main character whose choice to become an outlaw isn’t for altruistic reasons—and Tex plans to keep outlawing once he’s recovered from his injury. It was a poignant experience to take him from his remorseless state in the beginning of the book to the honest, humble, responsible one he develops by the end.

3. This is my first full-length book that features a hero and heroine who’ve known each other, and loved each other, in the past. And I may try it again! I really enjoyed writing a story where the couple has a second chance at love.

4. I wrote this book faster than any of my others. Circumstances were such that I had a short time frame to complete the manuscript. I don’t plot my books in great detail, but I knew I’d need more than my normal 4-5 page synopsis to finish this book on time. To help me write faster, I typed a list of the scenes I needed, and as I wrote them, I’d delete them off the list.

5. My husband has read all of my books—he reads my manuscript before I send it off to my editor. This is, in large part, because his past work with horses makes him a great resource for all things equestrian in my westerns. And this book is his favorite!
