Shan: Wait a minute. Ezmerelda, what the hell are you doing?

Shan: You’re supposed to recap my week and announce my books.

Shan: And the title? Hearts A’Giddy-Uppin’? What the hell is that?

Shan: Fine, just get it over with.

Anyway. To celebrate the release of our book, Taming Eliza Jane this coming Tuesday, I will be sharing my ever-so-romantic western short story based on one of my personal experiences.

Shan: What personal experiences? You’re a Guatemalan worry doll.

Shan: ::grinds teeth::

Moving on. Although my book has no back cover, I’ve composed back cover copy to entice you.

On the run from a cruel and sadistic employer, Ezmerelda braves the western frontier. When her stagecoach is attacked by bandits, she believes all hope is lost…until she sees him.

Long, lean and hard in the saddle, Chance had his heart broken when he was a mere boy, so he will never, ever, ever love a woman again. But when he happens across a stagecoach robbery and his gaze falls on the fiesty little Guatemalan worry doll, his heart starts giddy-uppin’. He’s determined to keep her.

But there are storm clouds on the horizon, because Shannon’s coming…

Shan: Are you kidding me? Your cover copy’s almost as bad as your cover.

Shan: Get ON with it.

Okay, so come back Monday for part one of Hearts A’Giddy-Uppin’ by Ezmerelda!
