The Bride Wore Spurs has a cover!

I want to share the cover of my April release, The Bride Wore Spurs. I'm very pleased and  hope you like it as much as I do.

To tell you a little about the story, here's the back cover blurb:
 

The Cowgirl Takes a Husband!

 
To keep the Texas ranch she loves, Hannah Parrish will wed a man she doesn’t. Cowpokes won’t take orders from a young, single female. But while her exasperating neighbor Matt Walker jokes about her being a mere debutante, Hannah is a rancher to the core. Just like Matt.

“Will you marry me?” It’s a question widowed Matt never intended to ask again. Now spirited Hannah is asking him for a marriage of convenience! Yet whether she’s birthing a calf or caring for a young orphan, the tomboy next door is becoming the partner Matt always hoped for. Now he must convince her the greatest strength comes in trusting your heart to another—and your future to God.…

Leave a comment for a chance to win an autographed copy that I'll send as soon as my author copies arrive. No winners will be selected after the book's release April 2.

He's a great guy. My only complaint--he doesn't read fiction. Ah, don't tell him, but he is fiction. LOL

Had to share the fun photo reader Lois sent me of finding my book on the shelves while she was in Florida. She and my heroine's sister in An Inconvenient Match share the same first name. Hope you enjoy the story, Lois!

Janet

Shelter of Hope

The ramshackle Victorian house is all that widowed mother-to-be Callie Mitchell has left. But she’s going to make that house into a true home—a home where she and her baby will be safe and happy…and where women in need can find refuge. And if that means trusting stranger Jacob Smith to help with the repairs, then so be it.

Jacob came to town with a handful of old postcards and one goal in mind—to find the mother who’d abandoned him years before. He never planned to stay…and he certainly never planned to care for Callie. Yet as they rebuild the house together, Jacob and Callie also build the family they’ve always wanted.
