Heart So Sweet: Book 3 in the Great Plains Romance Series (13 page)

“You too, Jonathan Clark.”

She raced up the bank and to her car, throwing on her t-shirt and shorts without bothering with her underwear. She started the car just as the newcomer arrived. The man driving the truck looked oddly familiar. She caught one last glimpse of Jonathan as he slipped between two of the boulders, realizing that the new arrival had his same coloring. Brothers? She wasn’t sticking around to find out. She drove down the lane and back to the gravel road, laughing in disbelief at her audacity.

“Well, that’s one way to meet new people, Evie.”

But a rancher’s work is never done, and Jonathan must choose between his family and Evie—a woman who might have already moved on to someone else.

About the Author

Corrissa James was not always a country girl. In fact, she fought it all her life, traveling the world to live in far-flung cities like St. Petersburg, Russia, Caracas, Venezuela, Varanasi, India, and Guadalajara, Mexico. She didn’t realize she was meant to live in the country until she returned to her roots in Nebraska, where she discovered the beauty of the fields around her (even if she was allergic to them) and the intensity of Mother Nature (who sure packs a wallop!).

Corrissa wrote her first romance stories in junior high, although at the time she didn’t really know what happened after kissing, so she improvised with lots of ellipses (...). Her professional writing career initially took her away from romance—but never far away as Corrissa could always be found with a romance book at hand.

Today she focuses on western romance novellas, offering afternoon reads focused on strong women and the men they choose (never without some struggles along the way).
