WILD TEXAS ROSE is my 25th historical romance about Texas and I’m happy to say that I think readers will discover something new in this book that I’ve never seen done in a historical. I love writing about groups of people and this time I have more than one romance going at once. It was great fun to write and I lost a great deal of sleep because even after I turned off my computer I couldn’t turn off the story. The characters were still dancing in my head.
My husband also developed a strange habit of saying, “All right, all you people, get out of this bed. We’ve got to get some sleep.”
The setting is Fort Worth, 1876, but the stories circle around one another much like people in a town do until one day, one event, draws them together. My main heroine, Rose McMurray, suffers from a fear of crowds during the time agoraphobia was just being recognized as a disorder. Her fears run head long into her need to help her best friend.
Rose thinks she’s going to a wedding but soon uncovers a plot that could get them all killed. She turns to a circuit judge, Killian O’Toole, for help not knowing how involved he is with the bride-to-be.
I had great fun mixing up the stories of people in this book. So often when people think they are all alone in the world they find they are surrounded by friends when trouble rides in. The love stories were also fun to write, for with the exception of one lady who took her clothes off for a living, most of the people were new to loving. On August 7th when this book hits, I’ll be like a proud parent standing outside the nursery windows looking at a newborn.

Jodi Thomas has been a favorite author for American West romances. I expect this one will be another one I will enjoy for the historical setting and the realistic romance.

Congratulations on your 25th HR about Texas! For me, any title with the word TEXAS always caught my eyes faster. Guess I’m a sucker for cowboys. Hope someday I could go there and see them right in front of my eyes.
I couldn’t stop myself grinning reading about the new strange habit of your husband. 😀
Love your Wife Lottery series and couldn’t wait to read any other series. Thanks for this giveaway.
