A New World

❤ ELEANOR NEVER TOOK RISKS. UNTIL CAHILL.❤

This charmer can make or break her beachfront restaurant... and her heart.

Full-length standalone novel that also introduces you to Val, whose story is is in Jack's Heart.


"I fell in love with Cahill. He's handsome, smart, strong and had an Irish brogue to die for. Eleanor is a real woman, with real curves, a sense of humor and intelligence ... I was sad when I finished, because I wanted more." - 5-star review (Goodreads)


When his Irish eyes are smiling, she's in danger of losing her head ... and her heart. 

Eleanor Thatcher refuses to be charmed by the Irish balladeer she hires to strum up business for her Gloucester, Mass., beach restaurant. She's far too practical for a workplace romance ... or to fall for a fantasy-spinner like Aidan Padraic Cahill McCrea. Yes, she feels his spell, but bitter reality has taught Eleanor that dreamers drift on, leaving heartache.

Cahill finds the woman he wants to share his future with in strong-minded, too-serious-for-her-own-good Eleanor. But he must convince her of his staying power. And his time to make her his bride is running out


"A pragmatic woman, a dreamer with his feet hidden on solid ground, a ruthless underhanded villain all in a seashore setting make for an engrossing story that kept me on the edge of my chair... I can’t wait to read the next book!" - 5-star review



Before Valerie Trimarco tried to heal a cowboy in JACK'S HEART (Wyoming Wildflowers, Book 6), she pushed her cousin Eleanor into the arms of Cahill in A NEW WORLD.

A New World is the prequel to Jack’s Heart, Book 6 of the Wyoming Wildflowers series. Valerie Trimarco has some major changes ahead of her, including a life-changing stay in Wyoming. Then continue to follow the lives and loves of the good people of Knighton, Wyoming, in A Cowboy Wedding, a shindig at the Slash-C Ranch that also ropes in characters from other Patricia McLinn romance series.


NEW! Making Christmas is the story of Cahill's brother Kiernan McCrea (from A New World) and A Cowboy Wedding) and Bexley Farber, mutual friends of the Curricks of Slash-C Ranch. Caught at a shoddy convenience store in a Wyoming blizzard over Christmas, Kiernan and Bexley join forces to make the holiday a celebration for four kids also stranded there.


"I loved the depth of the characters, the subtle humor and the touch of suspense. And Cahill is YUM!" -- 5-star review (Barnes&Noble)


“Gave me that satisfied sigh I love at the end of a book" -- 5-star review (Amazon)
