Those of you who may have followed Book Brew in the past while I was hosting it probably know I am a southwestern ranch gal who once worked training horses and saddle mules. I became quite attached to the long eared critters and after I started writing I knew I would eventually feature some of them in a story. Well, so I did. The Mule Man was released by Amber Quill a couple of years ago. Since I had written but not published a spin-off story, I wanted to have it available again before the new one came out. JMS books was willing to work with me on this and The Mule Man was re-released in basically unchanged form in June. Now as of today, A Mule for a Princess is available! Here’s a link to it: http://www.jms-books.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29_94&products_id=1782 It will be available at JMS for 20% off for the first week. Here is the blurb and the cover–don’t you think that is just too cute–not to mention the two good looking guys about to lock lips!
Blurb: Bobby Estrada is tired of school, rules and boredom. He wants to have adventures. Eventually he arrives in southwestern New Mexico, afoot, tired and hungry. Orr and Jase, the mule men, give him a job mucking corrals. Six months later he has grown up, learned a lot and bought a young mule to train. That’s when some exotic visitors show up
Doyle O’Brien, an Irish aristocrat, is dedicated to caring for his young niece for whom he became guardian after her parents were killed in a tragic accident. She was also injured. Young Fiona loves horses and rode well before she became partially paralyzed. When Doyle hears mules are safe and reliable if properly trained, he decides to try to find a small one Fiona can eventually ride. She immediately falls in love with Powwow, the young mule Bobby has begun to train.
In Doyle, Bobby sees his dream prince come to life. In time the O’Briens must go home, taking Powwow. Bobby is determined to go, too. Can an Irish aristocrat and a young Latino cowboy find common ground beyond the lust that sizzles between them and make a modern fairy tale come true?
