I’m pleased to announce the release of His Small Town Dream, the third installment of The Golden Matchmakers series. I love writing about these passionate matchmakers who are determined to give true love a chance, even if it is on their terms! They’re lots of fun and I hope you enjoy spending as much time with them as I did while writing the book.
This Harlequin Heartwarming book features the romance between Adam and Carrie, a small town guy and big city girl. Can they make a relationship work?

This city girl…Could be his perfect match!
Adam Wright is ready to stop nursing his broken heart and give in to his family’s matchmaking. He knows lively marketing exec Carrie Mitchell wants to return to New York. But he’s showing her all small-town Golden has to offer…including himself. When his ex-fiancée arrives, it could scare Carrie away, or it may be a chance to heal past hurts…and share his small-town dream with her!
Here’s an excerpt:
“The only way to get over your fear is to meet it.”
He brought her to Maggie, hoping Carrie would remember the animal.
She pushed her sunglasses on top of her head as she started walking again. “I’m not afraid. I just don’t know what to expect.”
“Hold on.” Adam strode to the office and reemerged with his hands full. When he got closer, he let her take a peek.
“Baby carrots and cut-up apples?”
“Treats.”
He dropped a few carrots in her hand. “Just let the horse smell them and she’ll take it from there.”
“I don’t know.”
He held out the apple pieces for the horse. When Maggie devoured them, he turned toward Carrie. “Like I said, Maggie knows what to do.”
A bit tentatively, Carrie approached, holding out her hand. Adam stood close, hoping to give her some confidence. Maggie did the rest.
Carrie pulled her hand back. “Oh, wow, that tickles.”
“Not so bad, huh?”
She smiled at him and his chest constricted.
“Can I try it again?”
He handed her a few more carrots. Again, she approached the horse and laughed when Maggie took the snack.
“Before you know it, you’ll be a pro,” he predicted.
“I’m really not sure small-town life is for me…”
I hope you’ll return to Golden to discover new characters, catch up with old friends and visit the small mountain town I love. There’s something about a love story that brings hope and puts a smile on your face, and my wish is that you find both in this book.
