A Wild West Trilogy That'll Rope

Sexy lawmen and the women who tame them. (Sort of.) Follow the adventures of
the Garrett family and their colorful friends as they tangle with lethal
desperadoes, volitile secrets, shady pasts . . . and the complications of true
love. Intrigue, high adventure, and sizzling romance abound in this fast-paced
historical western trilogy.
LASSO THE MOON (Book One)
Motivated
by a childhood promise, Paris Garrett travels to the wilds of Arizona Territory
(1877) to seek fame as a stage actress. Never mind that she doesn’t possess a
lick of experience or that her true passion is songwriting. Before he died, her
papa encouraged her to reach for the stars. She promised to lasso the moon!
She’s already slipped free of her over-protective brothers. Nothing and no one,
especially some badge-wearing Romeo, is going to stand in her way.
Joshua Grant’s life went from diamonds to dirt in less time than a rattler
strikes. His uncle bequeathed him an opera house he doesn’t want, forcing him
to quit the law enforcement job he loved. The topper: In order to keep his
sidewinder snake of a cousin from inheriting, Josh has to honor his uncle’s
will and marry within two weeks. Life can’t get much worse, and then he falls
for an eccentric, spitfire songwriter with a mysterious past and a passel of
troublesome admirers. Marrying Paris is about as smart as kissing a coyote, but
that’s exactly what Josh intends to do--whether she likes it or not. Together
they could realize their dreams. That’s if they don't drive each other crazy
first!

ROMANCING THE
WEST (Book Two)
Emily
McBride is in a pickle. The preacher’s daughter writes scandalous romantic
adventures under a penname and someone’s uncovered her true identity. If the
blackmailer exposes her double life her small town friends and the man of her
dreams will never speak to her again. Worse, she’s growing fond of her new
friend, a literary poet, who would surely be horrified by her dime novel fame.
When lawman Seth Wright is recruited into the covert government agency, The
Peacemaker Alliance, he’s eager to kick desperado butt. Instead his first
mission is to travel to California to propose to Miss Emily McBride on behalf
of his boss. Worse, when he arrives, the small town librarian mistakes him for
a dandified poet! With two unwanted suitors and a blackmailer hounding her,
Seth pretends to be that poet so he can stay close and protect her. It’s what
his new boss would want. Unfortunately, Seth develops genuine feelings for the
passionate book lover, which risks his future as a Peacemaker, especially when
he learns she is not what she seems. More jolting . . . neither is he.
I love the story between Emily and Seth it was fantastic. Seth leaves Arizona under orders from two of the Garrett siblings, one sending him to help her and fall in love with her while the other sends him to bring her back to be his wife. He gets there and Emily thinks he is somebody else. Emily already has two people wanting to marry her and one of them won't back off. She also has a blackmailer.
This book was full of fun and kept me entertained. I can't wait to read the rest of these books to see how good they are as well. I want to learn more about the Garrett family! Beth is has a way of painting the old west in a fun way and wow just wow! Great work!

FALL OF ROME
(Book Three)
Famous for
bending the law to get his man, former Wells Fargo detective Rome Garrett signs
on with the Peacemaker Alliance, a covert government agency intent on taming
the west. His first assignment, bringing down cold-blooded killer Bulls-eye
Brady, will help return his tarnished career to glory. Even better, when he
learns he must team up with the only woman who ever broke his heart, Rome
considers it a bonus. He vows to show his old flame how it feels to love and
lose, vanquishing the hellcat from his dreams once and for all.
Retired cardsharp, Kat Simmons, has been in hiding from Bulls-eye Brady for six
years. Now she’s being asked to risk her obscurity and join a whirlwind poker
tournament to bait Brady into reclaiming the woman who "got away."
Trapping Brady, a man she fears, means teaming up with Rome Garrett, the only
man she ever loved. She should feel safer having the Peacemaker with her, but
the passion that reignites between them is frightening and past betrayals
difficult to forget, especially when a secret is revealed that could doom any
chance at love.
