About this item
One Big Secret… Broke and in need of a job, barrel racer Erin Walker has returned home after years of traveling the rodeo circuit. But the only job available is working for the man who broke her heart and left her pregnant and alone. Not a day goes by that she doesn't wonder about the son she and Jake had, whether he's happy with his adoptive parents or what her life would have been like if the three of them had become a family. Jake Canfield just wants to get close to Erin again and perhaps rekindle what they once had. But is that possible? It depends on the sudden appearance of the one person who could bring them closer together!
About the Author
"Simply a Kansas girl" is the best way to describe Roxann Delaney. Born, raised and having always lived in the Sunflower State, she's also traveled to 48 states, Canada, Mexico and, yes, even Cuba. As a child, souvenirs were Little Golden Books, collected along the way and inscribed with her name, date and the location where they were purchased.
Her reading inspired writing and, as a skinny, bespectacled nine-year-old, she bullied the neighborhood children and her younger cousins into performing the plays she wrote. Her romance journey began in high school when she read her first Georgette Heyer Regency novel. In no time at all, she had a complete set of the author's books.
But theater and the performing arts called to her in high school, too, and she became actively involved in the drama department, including playing the roles of Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion, the mother in Life with Father and Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun. Years later, she helped form a community theater group in her hometown, in which she both acted in and directed the group's productions, as well as served on the board of directors. She's come to the conclusion that reading, writing and acting are nothing more than ways to become someone else ... at least in her own mind.
Roxann has lived on a farm, in a small town and has returned with her four daughters and grandchildren to live in the city where she was born. Books and reading are an integral part of her family. Her oldest granddaughter is named Scarlett (yes, of Gone with the Wind fame) .
When she isn't writing or reading, she's designing Web sites. But writing is still her first love, and she enjoys sharing happy-ever-after stories with readers.
