Drumroll please...
A COVER REVEAL
*hides in shame*
This newsletter is a day late…why? Simple answer—I forgot. At the moment, my life is hectic to the extreme at work, and my brain didn’t want to wrap around the fact that I had a newsletter with exciting news to write and post—so for a week, I avoided it. Until Friday morning came along, and I face palmed as I was getting ready for work. So here we are, Friday night—my kids are watching KPop Demon Hunters for the millionth time (I’m not complaining, you can thank Grayson Long for this new obsession)—and I’m finally in the brain space to write this!
And it’s a fun one too! Seriously….keep scrolling….
LOOK AT THAT COVER!!!!! *melts*
When I handed my cover artist a sticky note with the world’s greatest sketch on it (it was bad ha) and she gave me back this—my jaw dropped! Melody captured Wyatt and Quinn PERFECTLY, taking what I saw in my head and made it fifty times better. I am in LOVE with this cover! It may be my favorite of the entire series.
Fool For You has my entire heart and soul. It was so fun and easy to write, it helped me remember why I love the universe of Hartwell Hills, and it just makes me giddy every time I open it to re-read or edit. I just love Wyatt Hartwell—and I know you will too!
ARC sign-ups are open now and will remain open until September 20th. A little birdy also told me it was already up for preorder! (Sometimes Amazon works fast—sometimes it’s slow—and it obviously wanted Wyatt up for preorder faster than I anticipated!) Paperback preorders will start MONDAY on my website!
Quinn Compton has one goal: make it to the National Finals Rodeo. After an injury that nearly ended her career, she’s more determined than ever, and Hartwell Hills Ranch is her solution. The perfect place to keep her head down and train. If only a certain Hartwell wasn't so distracting.
Wyatt Hartwell has two goals: rebuild his tarnished reputation and win over Quinn Compton. She’s shot down every flirty line he’s tossed her way, but that only makes him want to know the woman behind the steely focus even more. And when one bad decision leaves him jobless and back at his family's ranch, she’s suddenly everywhere he turns.
When Quinn’s rodeo season gets more chaotic than she bargained for, Wyatt steps in, determined to prove he’s not the careless playboy everyone thinks. From dusty arenas to neon-lit dance floors, their new friendship starts to blur into something Quinn didn’t see coming, and a whole lot more dangerous to her heart. Quinn came to Hartwell Hills for herself, not a rodeo announcer with a cocky attitude. But love can make you a fool, and falling for Wyatt might be a ride worth taking.

A sweet and sexy enemies-to-lovers romance about a wellness influencer who returns to her late aunt’s ranch in Colorado where she clashes with the grumpy and handsome head rancher.
She’s here to sell my ranch, but now I think she might steal my heart.
Rory Jones prided herself on the successful life she’d built as a wellness influencer and author—until she walked in on her boyfriend with another woman after a family funeral. Forced to run away to her late great aunt’s ranch in Colorado, Rory’s hoping that fixing up and selling the place will help her find her confidence and inspiration to write again.
But Wyatt Hensley, the grumpy head rancher, isn’t willing to hand over the reins to the job he gave everything up for. Especially not to a yoga-loving, manifestation guru who doesn’t even know how to ride a horse. Yet, with a past that’s taught him to not bother dreaming anymore, even Wyatt knows he can’t hold on forever.
Until one day they strike a deal that might just save both of their careers—help Rory turn the ranch into a wellness retreat and Wyatt can stay.
With Rory’s shattered self-confidence and Wyatt’s last drop of hope also on the line, staying professional is a must. But can they ignore the sizzling tension growing between them that could jeopardize it all?
Especially when the rocky path ahead seems a lot easier with the other riding beside them.
Live, Ranch, Love comes out September 30th! Preorders are available now!
We were almost forever…
Gretchen
It’s been three years since the kiss. The one I can’t seem to forget.
Judging by the girl on his arm, Connor Vining has no such problem.
I guess I misunderstood the look in his eyes that night.
I guess his best friend’s kid sister was never really in the running for Love of His Life.
But I’m not a kid anymore. I’ve graduated college and I’m about to fly interstate, in hopes of meeting my birth mother.
I was never going to face her alone, but when a twist of fate puts Connor by my side, I’m blindsided. And our tangled past is threatening to come undone...
Connor
I’m not sure whose heart is more broken: Gretchen’s or mine. All I know is it took everything in me to walk away from that kiss. I kept a promise, and I lost a friend.
And I think I made a mistake.
The problem is, now is not the right time to break down the walls Gretchen built to keep me out.
But now is the only time we’ve got.
Forever Then is available NOW (I totally got it!)
Until next time…
There may be a few newsletters these upcoming months as I get myself pumped up for Fool For You, but until the next moment—thank you for celebrating with me!!!
Until next time!
With Love-Stefanie
