BOOK 1: TALL DARK STRANGER
CAJUN COWBOYS FAMILY SAGA
Who is the tall dark stranger?
JOE AND ANNE'S STORY: Six months after his fiancée's declared missing and presumed drowned, Joe Broussard's stunned to find her 150 miles from home with no memory of him. Anne has no reason to believe the man claiming to be her fiancé is not telling the truth because she gave birth to a son and has no idea who the father is, which has haunted her from the moment she found herself in a homeless shelter with no memory of who she was or how she got there. But when she returns to once-familiar surroundings and fragments of memory begin to surface, unexpected passion blooms... until Anne's parents intervene with a court order to become the baby's legal guardians. Can Joe pull Anne from the grip of her rich and powerful family or will they destroy their relationship and fuel a multi-generational feud?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Dissociative Fugue amnesia is a disorder that affects one in two-thousand people. Sometimes the condition lasts only a few hours. Other times it can run into years. Recovery can come in fragments or memory can return spontaneously. In Tall Dark Stranger I tried to portray the disorder as accurately as possible.
LEVEL OF SENSUALITY: If you're looking for steamy romances you'll find instead sexy stories in a non-graphic way. My goal is to create romances that feature courageous, self-assured heroes with endearing flaws and the gutsy women who capture their hearts, women these unsuspecting cowboys would lay down their lives for.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The books in the Cajun Cowboys Family Saga are intended to be read in sequence as each book moves forward in time. The cowboys in the series believe in God, family, country and their horse in that order. They may count only a few people in their lives as real friends, but those who've proven true with the passage of time are life-long friends. They protect and love children and women because they view them as gifts from God. The stories are set in southwest Louisiana's prairie country where Cajun cowboys have been raising cattle since their Acadian ancestors registered the first brands in the 1700s.
CULTURAL & SPIRITUAL ISSUES:In this story cultural and spiritual issues are involved. However, my goal is not to convert anyone to anything but to convince readers that Joe and Anne belong together. A special thanks to Renee Prince for her personal story with a wild hawk and her description of her spiritual awakening while in the presence of the hawk, which she believes saved her life when it was out of control.
ABOUT THE ACADIANS: The idea for my Cajun Cowboys Family Saga came about while searching my roots when I learned that my French-Acadian ancestral grandfather, Joseph Beausoleil Broussard (aka Beausoleil), in 1765 led 240 Acadian exiles -- who refused to pledge allegiance to the British crown and convert from Catholic to Protestant -- from Nova Scotia to Louisiana. Known as Capitaine Commandant des Acadiens, Joseph Beausoleil Broussard and six members of the party secured a deal with cattleman, Jean-Antoine-Bernard Dautrieve, to settle land grants on Bayou Teche and tend his livestock for part of the profit. The Dautrieve Agreement was signed into law, and by the early 1800s the Acadians were major cattle ranchers. Among them was my great-great grandfather, Amand Broussard, who, with his brother Pierre, drove herds of cattle from Bayou Teche to New Orleans, a 150-mile trip that required drovers to make numerous swims and fight swamps, bogs and thick woods, a tough journey that took two weeks. My Acadian-French grandmother, who lived to be 104, grew up on Bayou Teche in southwest Louisiana, and it is in this area that my series is set.
