On
the snowy banks of Whiskey River, even a blizzard can’t stop the thawing of two
hearts.
She’s
looking for adventure in the West, but discovers more. He’s sure he’ll never
find love, until she lands at his door. Together, Gabriella and Dirk will
discover a spark that even a blizzard can’t quench.
Gabriella Grimaldi is new to Whiskey River—a quiet frontier town, where
those who dream of a different life gather under the big, open sky. Escaping a
life of faux friends and duty, Gabriella forsakes her life of fortune and runs
away. What she gets instead is an education in the ways of the world.
Not far from town, Dirk Price is settling in for another long winter in
Whiskey River, when a lost young woman shows up at his door. In the light of
the fireside, Gabriella and Dirk find themselves unfreezing their chilly hearts
and protecting one another against not only the cold, but from evil forces. Can
they let love in, or will they turn away from happiness when danger knocks at
the door?
In the
depths of winter under the weight of a blizzard, return to the sleepy, snowy
banks of Whiskey River, Wyoming, in A Whiskey River Princess.

Excerpt
“You can
bathe first if you like,” she replied, as she sat back down on the rocking
chair. “Then we can rinse out the tub and fill it again. I’ll wait.”
He
chuckled. “No, I meant that you can use the water first and then I’ll use the
same water next. That is, unless you’d like to bathe after me.”
Gabriella
looked at him appalled, and quickly shook her head. “No, thank you. That’s
fine.” Then she walked into the utility room and closed the door behind her.
Dirk smiled
as he shook his head, and then walked over to the stove to check the last two buckets
of water. In a short while, he checked it and the water was warm, so he picked
them up and went to the utility room.
Dirk walked
in without thinking. He kept his head down as he carried the water, not
noticing that she was already in the tub.
“What are
you doing?” Gabriella shrieked, quickly grabbing one of the towels to cover
herself. “Get out!”
Dirk looked
up, startled. “What are you doing?”
he asked, looking only at her eyes. “I told you the water was almost ready. Not that it was!”
She looked
around, flustered. “I only heard that the water was ready. Now, get out.”
He held up
the two buckets with ease. “I was just bringing in the last two buckets of warm
water—”
“I said get
out. Now!” she screamed, trying desperately to cover herself the best she could
with the towel. “Never mind the buckets. Get out.”
A devilish
smile spread across his lips as he raised one eyebrow. “Oh? You want me to
leave the buckets?”
“Yes, and
get out.”
“As you
wish, your highness.” A smirk appeared on his face as he walked over to the tub
and poured one of the buckets over her head.
She gasped
and flailed her arms as the warm water rushed over her, looking like a drowned
rat. “What did you do to me? Get out!”
He laughed.
“You asked for it.” He poured the second bucket of warm water over her head as
she flailed her arms, gasping. Then he carried both buckets to the door and
turned around. “You know, it didn’t have to be this way.”
As he walked out, he shut the door behind him, chuckling to himself.
“Vous êtes une brute sauvage!” Gabriella shouted, and then
something hit the other side of the door and crashed loudly to the floor.
