Whispers of Forever: Mending Christmas (Canyon Junction: Hearts In Love #1)
Page 28
Jake released the clutch and stomped on the accelerator. “Onward!”
She sat back and smiled as they sped toward their life together. She’d forever believe they had been meant for each other from the beginning. Years of living with an unspoken longing had finally been set free—leading to this moment. The words written on her wall could fade now and the two of them would continue into the future. She glanced at her wedding ring. “I love you, Jake. Without question I’m yours… Mrs. Beth Lawton—forevermore.”
He glanced over and winked. His grin shone bright enough to light their future. “Pregnant, Mrs. Lawton, you mean. Jake and Beth with a couple kids this time—are back together. We got our second chance, honey. It’s us again—forevermore.”
The End

Note to Readers
If you’d like to stay updated on new releases, I have a MAILING LIST where you can sign up to get sneak peeks of covers, excerpts, deleted scenes, new release announcements, and more—all before anyone else.
I hope you love Jake and Beth’s story about first love and second chances. Finding Kimber, Bk #2 will be out in 2017. Count on seeing Jake and Beth in upcoming books in this new series—stories taking place in the small town of Canyon Junction—a spin-off from the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight.
Why a spin off series? Bringing in new characters who live in Canyon Junction takes us off the Double Dutch Ranch, and into the lives of others who are either acquaintances, friends, or even strangers. This doesn’t mean the Carlson family will sit back and let the new series take over. Oh, no, those cowboys are too bold to let me push them aside.
If you have a question or comment, please contact me at my Website at Contact Mary. You’ll also find my current Blog Posts where I write Short Snippet Saturday, Meet the Heroine, Inspiration for the Muse, whatever else comes up, and on occasion, I’ll have a guest.
The dog on the cover is my dog, Kasha! I included her in this book as a tribute to her. She’s over thirteen years old, ill, and so loving.
Once again, thank you for the time you spend in reading my books. If this is your first book by me, I’d like to thank you for taking a chance to begin a new series with a new-to-you author.
Thanks again.

Canyon Junction, AZ: Hearts in Love Series #2
Finding Kimber
Coming in 2017.
Beginning a new life far away from anything familiar—including her name—Kimber Sinclair finds herself the owner of a ranch in Canyon Junction, Arizona. A place with nothing but cacti, heat, horses, and dusty cowboys. She has a second chance now, but how does she find her way when she can’t even find herself? Her ruggedly handsome ranch foreman, Jude Bryson, just might be the answer.
Look for future books in the Canyon Junction, AZ: Hearts in Love Series.
Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight
Cowboy Boss and his Destiny #1
Romantic and Passionate. The lighter side of romance. Warm your heart and give your nerve endings a tingle at the same time. (The lightest storyline of all of Mary’s books.) Hired by local rancher Tristan Carlson to help with his ranching magazine, Nora Trinity is profoundly attracted to him. But, is she ready for this sexy cowboy, his four-year-old daughter, and the close-knit Carlson family? This might be what she’s been looking for all along.
Tristan’s Destiny, Bonus Book #1.5
Author Note: Although this book can be read alone as a complete story in itself, it contains spoilers regarding Cowboy Boss and his Destiny. Tristan and Nora’s bond is put to the test and takes our characters on a more dramatic journey. A man and his family vow to love without limits, to prevail—even though circumstances beyond their control attempt to prove them wrong. Looking for something more compelling than the lighthearted Cowboy Boss? Begin here.
Heartbreak’s Reward #2
Tough yet torn—rancher Jase Carlson is a man tormented by his ex-wife who doesn’t follow court rules where his children are concerned. When he comes across a sexy blonde needing a hand, he fights to maintain control around her. Brenna Page does her best to raise her rebellious teen sister while struggling with her own secrets and needs. She doesn’t expect her heart to fall for a cowboy with an attitude. He doesn’t expect her to be everything he didn’t know he needed. One wrong turn. Two broken families. Brought together by chance and need.
Of the Cowboy’s Own Accord #3
While deployed, Army Ranger Dane Carlson finds himself being sent home early to the family ranch to make a heartrending decision, and to rekindle a flame. But with nothing the same as when he and Gracelyn Clark met, challenges abound even as they come to terms with the decisions they’ve made. Whatever tomorrow brings, their only choice is acceptance—to take one day at a time and face life as it comes.
Lassoing the Last Dance #4
Coming 2017.
Randy Drake, a savvy horse trainer and seasoned ranch hand, believes he and the gorgeous woman he meets at the Double Dutch Ranch, have something special. A relationship that can last, even if she does live in a different state. So why does she stop answering his texts, emails, and phone calls? Roxanne Connor has a good reason for not letting Randy know she is moving back to her hometown—swearing her friends to secrecy. Why rekindle a relationship that has no future? Randy is everything she wants in a man, but now nothing is the same, and she refuses to put him in the place of having to make a life-changing decision.
When they do come face to face, will they discover the embers that glowed eight months ago have died down, or have sparks been ignited and are ready to burst into a full-blown blaze?
Bull Rider Series
Howdy, Ma’am #1
Six months into Velia’s well-ordered life alone, bull rider Caulder McCutchen saunters in with his howdy, ma’am and flame-blue eyes, offering a job any photographer would find hard to refuse—to travel the circuit with him for a season and photograph a year in his life. On the journey, she realizes they both have their own obstacles to overcome. Staying out of each other’s arms is only one of them. The hero in this series is a cousin to Jase, Tristan, and Dane Carlson from the Double Dutch Ranch Series
Hey, Cowboy #2
A break in the bull riding season finds Velia and Caulder back in Tucson, Arizona. Happiness abounds as they begin a new journey together. Family, friends, and rowdy cowboys are brought together to share in joy, and sometimes pain. Happiness is within reach. Their burning love needs to be strong enough to overcome enemies plotting against Velia’s family, and a possible career-ending injury for Caulder.
Christmas at Love House: A Bittersweet Interlude #3
A little Christmas magic will be a welcome guest at Love House, but regardless if it arrives or not, during this bittersweet interlude, Velia and Caulder dare their happily-ever-after to be anything less than, “forever.”
