A mail-order bride story? Yes, please!

I am totally fascinated bymail-order bride stories. They are among my absolute favorites! In fact, I’veconsidered doing a whole series just on mail-order brides (and someday I stillmight!).

Well, if you like mail-order bridestories as much as I do, then you’re in luck! The Favored Cowboy isall about a mail-order bride who arrives in Colorado, marries the local veterinarianonly to realize shortly afterward that she’s married the wrong groom.

Since she’s quickly fallen for hernew husband, she doesn’t want to break the news that she’s not the woman he’sbeen communicating with and that his real mail-order bride is still on the wayto marry him.

How will this mail-order bridemix-up work itself out? Go grab your copy of the book and find out today!

Here’s what some readers have said:

“What a delightfultwist on the mail order bride trope! I adored Thatcher’s gentle nature and theway he and Amelia blended so well — clearly a perfect match.” ~Audrey(Goodreads)

“The well-paced,emotionally rich plot pulled me in from the get-go and kept me readinguninterrupted to the end” ~Carolyn (Goodreads)

“I loved both ofthe characters and the way that the story progressed. I read this book so fast,and honestly it is now one of my favorite books from Hedlund.” ~Angeline(Goodreads)

The Favored Cowboy releases today!! It’savailable in ebook, paperback, and for FREE in Kindle Unlimited.

New Book Release: May 2025

Today is therelease of A Wager with the Matchmaker, another book in the Shanahan Matchseries. This is the much-anticipated story of Kiernan Shanahan, the oldest sonin this big and loving family with six children.

Set in the frontiercity of St. Louis, Missouri in late 1840s, Kiernan wants to start abrick-making business. As a savvy businessman, he hopes to develop a profitablebrickyard as St. Louis businesses rebuild in the wake of a recent fire thatdestroyed large portions of the city.

He’s also doing hisbest to protect Alannah Darragh, the sister of one of his employees. As a maidin the Shanahan house, Alannah knows she can be fired for cavorting with thefamily. But as her attraction to Kiernan grows, she can’t resist spending moretime with him, even though doing so puts her in danger.

As with all of my books, this story isfull of my trademark sizzling and swoon-worthy romance! With class differences(and a Cinderella vibe), the characters are irresistibly drawn to each other ina forbidden romance. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing how this unlikely pair ends uptogether!

New Book Release: March 2025

Hooray! Today is abook birthday!

His UnforgettableBride,the final book in Bride Ships: New Voyages is hitting shelves! As with theothers in this series, the book is a stand-alone novel that highlights the realhistorical brides who left everything behind in England to sail halfway aroundthe world to marry men in the Pacific Northwest.

This is the secondbook I’ve co-authored with the very talented Patti Stockdale (the first was HisTreasured Bride). You might be wondering what does that co-writing look like?Who came up with the story ideas? How did we collaborate? How did the writingrelationship work? How much did Patti write, and how much did I contribute?

Those are all goodquestions! Co-writing books will look different for everyone who does it. But since Patti and I wereworking together with Sunrise Publishing, we had more of a mentoringrelationship (which has been a huge part of Sunrise Publishing’s premise). Thatmeant that Patti and I worked very closely for almost every aspect of the book—initialstory development, chapter-by-chapter plotting, brainstorming sessions, andeven deciding upon the romance progression.

As we workedtogether to craft the first draft, Patti wrote each chapter and kept meapprised every step of the way. We talked through any issues that came up, and Ifelt as though I was right there in the story with her!

When she finishedthe first draft, I read the book (along with a Sunrise editor) and offered Pattimore feedback for the first stage of editing (the rewrites). This macroedit usually involves deleting scenes and adding new ones along with revisingcharacter arcs, filling in plot holes, and changing an assortment of otherthings.

After Patticompleted her rewrites (very superbly!), then it was my turn to go into the manuscriptand add my flare. While trying to keep true to the story, Idid some rewriting of my own, mostly pulling through plot threads that neededtightening.

After that, thebook went back to Patti and additional Sunrise editors for more levels ofediting. All that to say, the book was a huge labor of love for both Patti and me.And we’re so happy to be releasing it now to you! I hope that you’ll enjoy thisconcluding story of the bride ship series!

New Book Release: February 2025

Whoo-hoo! It’sanother book birthday!! Today is the release of His Perfect Bride,another installment in Bride Ships: New Voyages which is a spin-off series of myprevious fan-favorite Bride Ships series.

This newest bookwas very fun to write because we decided to tie in the final two books in thisseries to fairy tales. His Perfect Bride has Beauty and the Beastvibes, and His Unforgettable Bride (releasing in March 2025) hasCinderella vibes.

The hero of HisPerfect Bride is a wealthy and very intelligent engineer who designsroads and bridges in colony of British Columbia. He’s experienced a tragedythat has turned him into a reclusive, shaggy, grumpy beast. So of course, when theheroine of the story comes along, he’s not too happy about it, and at firstthey clash. But soon sparks fly, heating up an undeniable attraction.

As always, this book is full of mytrademark sizzling romance! Here’s what a few early readers are saying aboutthis romance:

“ All the sweetattraction and chemistry between Sage and Jackson, and their emotionalconnection that even surpassed their physical one. The signature Hedlund spicethat is oh so good but still stays clean!”

“ This book has allof the fantastic sizzling chemistry we’ve come to know, love, and expect fromJody while also keeping things clean. I genuinely don’t know of any otherauthor who harmonizes these two aspects so well.”

“There was so much pining, and so many great kissing scenes!I also just loved how well these two complemented each other. They built eachother up, and they were better together.”

New Book Release: October 2024

The seriescontinues!

Wrangling theWandering Rancher,another book in the High Country Ranch series, releases today!

Set in Colorado inthe 1870s, this sweet romance series is about the Oakley family who owns a ranchnear Breckenridge. The family, like most, has its share of conflict andproblems. But their bonds of love are deep enough to see them through the hardtimes and draw them closer.

Wrangling the WanderingRancheris fourth installment and, like all the others in the series, can be read as astandalone. However, I do suggest at least reading the third book, A Wifefor the Rancher, first. The heroes in both are adopted brothers in theOakley family, and a large part of the plot revolves around them seeking tounderstand where they came from.

Wrangling theWandering Rancheralso has some fun tropes including friends to more, forced proximity, a shotgunmarriage, and abandonment issues. I’ve never had a shotgun marriage in my booksbefore so that scene was especially fun to write!

Here’s what a few early readers aresaying about this romance:

“I absolutelyLOVED Tanner’s story! He is such a great guy and his backstory and what type ofman it made him touched my heart.”

“The romance inthis book was full of passion, and I loved how Tanner and Maisy complementedeach other. They started off with friendship first, and then their love foreach other built on that foundation.”

“I picked thisstory up and did not set it down until the very end. Maisy and Tanner areexplosive, and I was here for it!!”

New Book Release: October 2024

Happy October and HappyFall!

It’s that time ofyear to cozy up under a blanket with a cup of hot coffee (or tea!) AND A NEWBOOK!

I’m happy to saythat I can help you out with the new book because today is the release of AWife for the Rancher! If you love marriage of convenience stories, thendon’t miss this one! A wealthy heiress answers a mail-order-bride advertisementand runs away from her controlling stepmother. When she arrives in Colorado,she doesn’t expect to fall in love with her new husband and her new child, butshe can’t resist the handsome rancher and his baby.

While this book is sweet (closed bedroom door), it also has lots ofromantic tension and heated chemistry. From time to time, I hear from readerswho don’t like the focus on the physical attraction. But the large majority ofmy readers are looking for a clean alternative that still has a realistic andpassionate romance but delivers it without the explicit content that fills somany other current books.

Here’s what a few early readers aresaying about this romance:

“The kisses aresmoldering while remaining clean, and the story just draws you in.”

“This book wasgreat! I enjoyed the action, relational tension, and steamy (but clean) kisses.SQUEAL!!”

“The plot twistskeep the story moving, and as Ryder and Genevieve fight their attraction,there’s plenty of swooniness (is that even a word?). I stayed up quite late tofinish this book.”
