She’s racing to save the ranch
He’s struggling to win her heart. . . again
Brylee Barton has just one goal in mind: win the barrel
racing world championship. Not for the glory, but for the attached cash prize
that could save her family’s ranch. When an injury leaves her at the mercy of
the very same copper-headed, silver-tongued cowboy she once vowed to loathe
forever, she has no choice but to swallow her pride and accept his help.
Fun-loving, easy-going Shaun Price has a million dollar
smile, more charm than he can channel, and a string of ex-girlfriends rumored
to have started their own support group. When the one woman he’s never quite
managed to get out of his head or heart needs his assistance, he jumps at the
chance to help. Little does he realize how challenging it will be to keep from
falling for her all over again.
With the holiday season fast approaching, will Shaun and
Brylee discover the gift of forgiveness, and experience their own
happily-ever-after?
This sweet Christmas romance warms the heart, lifts the
spirit, and touches the soul with its message of forgiveness, hope, and
redemption. Don’t miss it!

When I wrote the first book in this series, The Christmas Cowboy, I needed some help with a bit of research. I reached out to the Justin Sportsmedicine Team and they were incredibly helpful. They also told me about an organization called the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. This non-profit organization provides help to injured rodeo athletes and 100 percent of their donations goes straight to the fund.
I was so impressed, I decided to give back to the JCCF through a yearly campaign called Read a Book, Help a Cowboy. It raises funds and awareness for JCCF.
From November 1 through December 24, I donate a percentage of my book sales to the JCCF. For more details, hop over to my website: http://shannahatfield.com/jccf. Basically, any book I've written that you purchase between now and Christmas helps out those injured athletes.

One Old West Cinderella discovers
Prince Charming is a. . . Cowboy?
The death of her mother left Philamena Booth grieving and at the mercy of her drunken father. After spending more than a decade held captive on their run-down farm, she’s left speechless when her father strikes a bargain to settle a long overdue debt. In lieu of payment, a handsome cowboy agrees to take Philamena. Mortified yet relieved to leave the farm, she finds herself married to the charismatic, caring man.
Luke Granger might own Hardman’s bank and the fanciest house in the Eastern Oregon town, but he’d much rather be outside riding his horses or wrangling his herd of cattle than keeping his account books straight. In a strange, unsettling turn of events, he finds himself accepting a farmer’s daughter instead of money to cover a loan. If the man hadn’t threatened to sell her to the saloon owner, Luke might have refused. He has no idea what to do with the beautiful Filly or their marriage of convenience, but he’s about to get far more than he bargained for.
Full of Victorian and western charm, The Christmas Bargain is a sweet holiday romance filled with the spirit of the season.
Here’s an exceprt:
Luke grinned at her and wiggled his fingers. “Come on, Filly. It’s a little late to worry about propriety now, don’t you think?”
She took his hand and swung behind him, lacing her hands around his waist and leaning her head against his back. As they rode to the parsonage, Luke kept his hand resting on top of hers.
“I’d like to speak with you about your ride to the Jenkins farm,” he said, using his most official banker’s tone.
She should have known riding through town with her skirts up to her knees and hair flying would embarrass Luke. She was really going to have to work on behaving with more decorum. More like a proper banker’s wife.
He smiled and his icy eyes warmed to a liquid blue as he looked at her over his shoulder. “I’d like to discuss how enticing you looked with your skirts hiked up and your hair rippling behind you. I pictured you as some ancient Irish warrior queen riding into battle. Filly, my girl, you’ve been holding out on me by keeping all that glorious hair confined to buns or braids. I think we need a let-your-hair-down lesson to go along with our kissing lessons.”
