KAREN’S NEWS

FALL 2016

I’m thrilled to announce the release of the last two books in my Wed in the West
series for Harlequin Special Edition! Set in my own backyard in beautiful
northeastern New Mexico, where the Sangre de Christo mountains tower over
majestic rolling plains and lush pine forests, we’re talking horses and cowboys,
oh, yeah…as well my usual assortment of quirky characters, down home settings
and rowdy little boys (and girls!). And dogs. I have loved writing this series,
beginning with A MOTHER’S WISH in 2008, which went on to win a RITA award from
Romance Writers of America…followed by another RITA for WELCOME HOME, COWBOY in
2011. But all good things must come to an end, in order to make room for other
good things down the road.

But as for these books…in THE RANCHER’S EXPECTANT CHRISTMAS (October 2016, ebook
and print) ranch manager Josh Talbot is stunned to discover that, upon his
boss’s death, he’s inherited half of the sprawling New Mexico ranch he’s called
home his entire life. Only the other half has gone to Deanna Blake, the boss’s
daughter…and the gal Josh knew better than to even think about getting cozy with
when they were teenagers. Except jilted, and very pregnant, Deanna hasn’t
thought of the Vista Encantada as “home” for more than ten years. Nor is she
about to now – she wants to sell it to provide for her unborn daughter. Only she
hadn’t counted on how being around her old crush, and his adorable little boy,
would make her reconsider what home really means…

Following in February 2017 is FALLING FOR THE REBOUND BRIDE. When Deanna’s
cousin Emily Weber seeks temporary refuge at the Vista after narrowly escaping
marriage to her cheating fiancé, the peace she’s so desperately seeking is
shattered by the strong, silent, and oh-so-tempting presence of prodigal son
Colin Talbot, who’s unexpectedly returned home after many years away to deal
with his own demons. Alone. But can these two shattered souls find solace in
each other’s arms, at least until Colin leaves again? Or does fate have
something entirely different in mind…?

in other news, SANTA’S PLAYBOOK, which earned the rare 4.5 Top Pick GOLD
designation from Romantic Times when it debuted in 2014, also went on to win
RT’s Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Special Edition for that year. Since I
absolutely love this story, about a drama teacher whose biggest role turns out
to be healing the hearts of a widowed football coach and his four children, I’m
thrilled with how well received has been. And thanks to the wonderful world of
digital publishing, this, as well as my entire backlist, is still available at
Amazon.com, bn.com, another other etailers for years to come.

It’s easy to see what I’m up to on my Karen Templeton Facebook page, where I

as the mood strikes. So hop on over and “like” my page to join the fun!
