Cover Reveal A MAVERICK TO (RE)MARRY 12 Mar 2018 9:27 AM (7 years ago)

Nothin' like a cowboy, right?

A July release.

I like this one. He looks so natural--and there's something about a man in a worn chambray shirt....

Back cover copy reads:

Married—and divorced!—in secret…

Rust Creek Ramblings

Rust Creek Falls’ flirty cowboy and the shy, straight-A student—a couple? We have it on good authority that not only were Derek Dalton and Amy Wainwright once an item, they were actually married! With Amy back in town for her friend’s wedding, how long before their secret past is revealed? Gather your rose petals, dear readers… We suspect these high school sweethearts may soon get a second chance at happily-wedded-after!

Cover Reveal THE NANNY'S DOUBLE TROUBLE 15 Jan 2018 8:27 AM (7 years ago)

A May 2018 release, this will be the first book in my Bravos of Valentine Bay series.

I'm not usually a fan of kids on my book covers--but in this case I am so making an exception.

Meet Frannie and Jake, 18-month-old twins. I had such fun writing these two and the Harlequin cover team captured them perfectly in this shot.

The back cover copy reads:

Meet The Bravos of Valentine Bay…

And the single father of twin toddlers in desperate need of a nanny!

All his life Daniel Bravo has been the responsible one. So when he’s left widowed with adorable twins to raise, he knows he needs help, fast. Enter family friend Keely Ostergard—a woman with love in her heart for his children, and a gigantic chip on her shoulder for him. She’s the last person he’d ever fall for—the aversion is mutual. Until it isn’t…

COVER REVEAL Married Till Christmas 15 Aug 2017 9:10 AM (7 years ago)

This is Nell Bravo's story, the last in my Bravos of Justice Creek series and a December release. (No worries Bravo series lovers. The Bravos of Valentine Bay starts in May 2018.)

Back cover copy reads:

An impulse wedding…

Strong, sexy Nell Bravo won’t be fooled again. After all, Declan McGrath already shattered her heart into pieces—not once, but twice. When alluring CEO Deck sweeps Nell off her feet in Las Vegas, though, she tumbles headlong into an “only in Vegas” fling with her first love. But Nell sure didn’t bargain on a Vegas wedding!

…a lifetime of love?

It’s taken a long time for Deck to finally capture the one who got away. And this time, he’s charmed her straight to the altar. But Nell will stay married to him only until Christmas Day—unless Deck can prove that this time, it’s for keeps. With the clock ticking, can Deck convince Nell that he truly is her one and only…or has Mr. Love-’Em-and-Leave-’Em broken a Bravo’s heart for the last time?

Cover Reveal GARRETT BRAVO'S RUNAWAY BRIDE 12 Jun 2017 9:21 AM (7 years ago)

This is my October release, book 8 in the 9-book BRAVOS OF JUSTICE CREEK series. I love this cover. Actually, I find myself loving my covers a lot lately and that makes me so happy! Hope you love it, too.

Back cover copy reads...

Once again, she's running…

When bride-to-be Cami Lockwood finally escapes the clutches of her domineering family, she accidentally stumbles straight into the mountain retreat of the most alluring man she's ever met. Garrett Bravo's never been lucky in love. But that's before a one-of-a-kind heiress rushes headlong onto his doorstep.

But this time, she's running toward something!

Garrett's mother can't resist matchmaking for her relentlessly unavailable son. So what better way to evade her meddling than to pretend that his accidental arrangement with creative, unique Cami is the real thing? Just one catch: he hadn't bargained on falling head over heels for the runaway bride turned woman of his dreams…

Goodreads Giveaway THE MAVERICK FAKES A BRIDE

Cover Reveal THE MAVERICK FAKES A BRIDE 13 Apr 2017 7:06 AM (8 years ago)

I love this one, unconditionally!

THE MAVERICK FAKES A BRIDE is a July release, book 1 in the multi-author, six-book continuity, Montana Mavericks: The Great Family Roundup.

Back cover copy reads....

Do You Take This (Faux) Fiancée?

Rust Creek Ramblings

All the single ladies in Rust Creek Falls know Travis Dalton. And they all know the sexy, rascally rancher is not the marrying kind. So how is it that our town's most notorious bachelor has wound up engaged on a Western reality TV show?

We here at the Gazette are pleased The Great Roundup has chosen our hometown heartbreaker as a contestant. And we are definitely rooting for Travis's unexpected union with childhood friend Brenna O'Reilly, the one girl we believe can keep this cowboy on his toes. But is it true this betrothal is strictly a fabrication for the cameras? Pass the popcorn, dear readers. We suspect this made-for-TV romance could be headed straight for a Hollywood happy ending!

Cover and Blurb May Release... 2 Feb 2017 8:20 AM (8 years ago)

I think this is a gorgeous cover. Aside from the hero, who either took one bad picture or has one of those faces that should not be on the cover of a romance. But otherwise, love it!

This is Jody Bravo's story, book 7 in the 9-book Bravos of Justice Creek series.

Back Cover Copy reads...

FIRST COMES MARRIAGE

Feisty, fearless Jody Bravo's set to do everything for her baby. She doesn't need anything from anyone—especially the stepbrother of her baby's late father. But lawman Seth Yancy won't leave her to face parenthood alone, no matter how prepared she is. And even though Jody resists, soon she's taken in completely by his charms—and agrees to be his wife…

THEN COMES LOVE?

Hunky Sheriff Yancy's not without his fair share of admirers in Justice Creek. After a terrible tragedy years before, though, he's faced life alone. Now the real-life woman of his dreams just happens to be his bride—and pregnant with the child of his heart, if not his reality. So "father" is a role that will come naturally to Seth. And will "husband" really be that far behind?

Cover and Blurb for my December Release 8 Sep 2016 9:15 AM (8 years ago)

So festive! I would say it is definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas--especially on this cover.

Back cover copy reads....

WHEN DARIUS BRAVO WANTS SOMETHING…

…he usually gets it. And the powerhouse CEO has wanted Ava Malloy since he was a Justice Creek High senior. Darius is already adored by one Malloy: Ava's spirited daughter. Helping Sylvie and her local Blueberry troop build dollhouses for needy kids is a worthy cause that's bringing him closer to the widowed single mom. Imagine his surprise when the usually unapproachable Ava starts flirting and making her romantic intentions crystal clear!

With one condition.

A holiday fling with the man Ava has always found irresistibly attractive is a thrilling way to ring in the New Year. She can't promise Darius the future—one devastating heartbreak in a lifetime is enough. But Ava underestimates his staying power. And what about her own secret heart's desire? A Bravo under the mistletoe and in her arms forever!

Cover Reveal October Release... 15 Jun 2016 10:02 AM (8 years ago)

I love it. I love their expressions. And I can't believe she's wearing exactly what I described in the art info. That hardly ever happens.

Back cover copy reads:

BEAUTY AND THE…MAN WHO'LL NEVER LET HER GO
Elise Bravo needed a job, desperately. And soldier turned thriller writer Jed Walsh burned through—almost literally, it turned out—assistants like hellfire through brimstone. Turned out he had some… unusual work habits to go along with his giant talent and ego. He threw knives to relax. He cleaned his guns as he acted out scenes. And more than anything, he hated cats…

Enter Elise, crack typist, master plotter and perfect for the live-in job in every way but one…two if you counted Mr. Wiggles, her furry companion. For though Jed had sworn he would never get "involved" with a woman who worked for him, it took only a day or two with the perfectly professional, pencil skirt–wearing Bravo beauty to realize that his interest in Elise broke all the rules. He had to make her his—even if he had to win over her kitty to do it…

Cover and Back Cover Copy, MARRIAGE, MAVERICK STYLE! 12 May 2016 8:31 AM (8 years ago)

This one releases in July, book 1 of a six-book Montana Maverick series, The Baby Bonanza.

I love this one, love the party lights and the way they're looking at each other.

And here's the blurb:

THE MAVERICK MEETS HER MATCH
As summer arrives in Rust Creek Falls, the town is bursting with babies…and the Gazette is bursting with news. Did you hear there's a new billionaire in town? President and CEO of Drake Distilleries and Drake Hospitality, Carson Drake is no one's baby daddy…at least, not yet. But the handsome, delicious Los Angeleno has his eye on our own Tessa Strickland, and things are about to get very interesting…

Sweet, serious Tessa has had firsthand experience with heartbreak and is determined to avoid a second go-round. But after one unexpected night in Carson's sheltering arms, she begins to waver. Dear readers, that's only the beginning of the surprises. Saddle up and find out what happens when two commitment-phobes discover that love is life's richest reward!

JAMES BRAVO'S SHOTGUN BRIDE

May 2016 Release

“Granting her friend’s dying wish, Addie Kenwright is impregnated via artificial insemination. If only she had told her shotgun-brandishing grandfather, who thinks James Bravo is the father! One might think being kidnapped and accused of impregnating Levi Kenwright’s granddaughter would make James want to run—but oddly enough, it doesn’t! Rimmer’s latest Bravos of Justice Creek novel concerns facing, fighting and conquering fears. It’s quirky, old-fashioned and sweet, a real love story to the Western lifestyle. The fantastic co-stars, past series snippets and incredible mile-high backdrops keep the pages turning. The depth and believability Rimmer instills in her couple is brilliant.”

--4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick! Debbie Haupt, RT Bookreviews

Cover and blurb JAMES BRAVO'S SHOTGUN BRIDE 27 Jan 2016 6:52 AM (9 years ago)

My May release...

And the back cover copy reads...

JAMES BRAVO IS MARRYING HIS DREAM WOMAN.

THERE'S JUST ONE CATCH…

Tied to a chair and staring down the barrel of a shotgun isn't how James Bravo planned on proposing to the woman he's secretly longed for for months. He also isn't the father of Addie Kenwright's unborn baby—even if her grandfather thinks he is. James has never stolen so much as a kiss from the beautiful rancher…but all that changes when he and Addie say "I do."

Three times burned is enough to put a single woman off wedlock forever. Addie only agreed to this crazy scheme to appease her ailing grandpa. Now the mother-to-be can't get enough of the hunky, blue-eyed attorney. Are Addie and James ready to take the plunge for real and turn a temporary arrangement into the marriage of both their dreams?
