Holding On (Colorado High Country #6) —
The Colorado High Country series returns with Conrad and Kenzie's story.

A hero barely holding on…

Harrison Conrad returned to Scarlet Springs from Nepal, the sole survivor of a freak accident on Mt. Everest. Shattered and grieving for his friends, he vows never to climb again and retreats into a bottle of whiskey—until Kenzie Morgan shows up at his door with a tiny puppy asking for his help. He’s the last person in the world she should ask to foster this little furball. He’s barely capable of managing his own life right now, let alone caring for a helpless, adorable, fluffy puppy. But Conrad has always had a thing for Kenzie with her bright smile and sweet curves. One look into her pleading blue eyes, and he can’t say no.

The woman who won’t let him fall…

Kenzie Morgan’s life went to the dogs years ago. A successful search dog trainer and kennel owner, she gets her fill of adventure volunteering for the Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team. The only thing missing from her busy life is love. It’s not easy finding Mr. Right in a small mountain town, especially when she’s unwilling to date climbers. She long ago swore never again to fall for a guy who might one day leave her for a rock. When Conrad returns from a climbing trip haunted by the catastrophe that killed his best friend, Kenzie can see he’s hurting and wants to help. She just might have the perfect way to bring him back to the world of the living. But friendship quickly turns into something more—and now she’s risking her heart to heal his.

In ebook and soon in print!

Results of the I-Team Charitable Drive



I just wanted to share the final amount for the I-Team Charitable Drive. Together, we raised $2,685 for PHA’s pediatric research fund. That's more than 10 percent of one of their research grants. This amount includes only donations that were made in little Isla Fordyce’s name, so the actual figure is somewhat higher than this. 

THANK YOU to each and every one of you who participated and donated to this worthy cause! No matter how small your donation might have been, you have chosen to make a difference in the lives of others. That makes you special. Your compassion for others and your generosity is inspiring!


In book news, I have started writing Holly’s story. It doesn’t have a title yet, but I am jokingly calling it COVERT SHAGGING. Holly is a fun character, one of the I-Team characters I love most, so this should be fun.


What can I tell you about the story? Not much. I’m going to follow Stephen King’s advice this time around and write with the door firmly closed.


But I can tell you that your favorite I-Team characters will be back. Marc and Julian are already bickering in my head, and even Derek Tower from Striking Distance will have a role to play in this story.


I’m going to stay offline as much as I can during this process, so you might not see me for a while. 


In the meantime, First Strike, the sexy prequel to Striking Distance, is available as a perma-free download in most places online. Amazon.com has stubbornly refused to make it free on their site, even though it’s free on most Amazon sites. I’ve removed it from B&N temporarily and am going through Smashwords to make it available free for Nook there. It should be up on B&N again soon.

And for those who missed it, I did add to the MacKinnon’s Rangers series with a Christmas/New Year’s novella, Upon a Winter’s Night. All of the MacKinnon brothers are their wives are part of the story, along with Joseph, Lord William and Killy. There are some pretty big moments between Lord William and the brothers, as well as a surprise New Year’s wedding. The reviews have been gratifyingly high for this novella, which is available in both ebook and paperback.
