Sorcha O'Shea is a poor factory artisan who has the opportunity to be present at an event which changes the course of history: the race for dominance of the first passenger steam locomotive. The winner of the Rainhill Trials will build the steam locomotives for the Manchester-Liverpool line, the first passenger rail line in history. The year is 1829.

While Sorcha is at the Rainhill Trials watching history unfold, she meets Robert Stephenson, the engineer who built the entry Rocket, as well as Thaddeus Fulbright, a newspaper reporter for The Liverpool Mercury who annoyingly turns up at every corner.

Lawrence Davenport, Sorcha's employer, has less than honorable designs on Sorcha, whose family depends on her income. Lawrence holds Sorcha's family's survival over her head.

Still living in an historical period containing all the elements of a Regency romance, "The Race to Rainhill" has carriages, horses, ball gowns, theatre, class hierarchy and aristocrats while on the cusp of the next phase of British life: the rail, which transformed travel, work, leisure, and even home life.

Experience the romance of the rail as history unfolds and Sorcha finds true love.

A traditional Georgian Romance.

PenPal Hero: Hometown Heros A-Z — Sweet, Small-Town Romantic Suspense (Born In Texas Book 16)

A covert investigator and a bubbly realtor in training fight crime together in this penpal, secret crush romance.

Holt Winchester is the nicest guy. Everyone in town likes and trusts the friendly auto detailer by day and cowboy by night, which makes him the perfect candidate for K&G Security’s new covert ops program. Few people understand he’s not entirely at the top of his game after a recent abduction.

Because of what happened to her before moving to town, Bonnie Yates is one of those few people. Fortunately, she has five overprotective brothers to keep her safe from now on. The downside is they scare away every prospective boyfriend. Hoping to turn her friendship with Holt into more, she asks him to be her penpal, never dreaming their letters would lead to a crime fighting partnership of sorts. As it turns out, two heads are better than one. She can only hope and pray that two hearts will also prove to be stronger than one, as their case takes a deadly turn.

Grab your copy of PENPAL HERO and be immersed in another one of Jo Grafford's gripping small-town romantic suspense page turners!

Anxious to make it home for Christmas, a rodeo star hits the road in a hurry, only to discover he’s hitched his truck to the wrong trailer!

In his defense, it’s the same model and color as his. Plus, it’s dark outside. Not to mention he’s trying to beat a snowstorm out of town.

At the next truck stop, he finds himself face-to-face with the trailer's very lovely, very angry (and slightly terrified) rightful owner…and soon finds himself offering to make it up to her by posing as her husband for the remainder of the road trip. Yeah, she has her reasons for begging that kind of favor. Good reasons. And though he’s always been a sucker for damsels in distress, her situation feels like more than that— a whole lot more, at least where his feelings are concerned.

Grab your copy of Cowboy Accidentally Hitched for Christmas and be swept into this sweet & swoon-worthy snow-covered, hot-chocolate-scented, joy-filled fake marriage romance!

Whoever said all was fair in love and war... was full of it!

It all started when I met a handsome stranger at a fundraising gala, and had fun pretending we were engaged to get an obsessed woman off his back. It was just one evening, and nobody else would ever hear about it.

Then he shows up at my restaurant and says he plans to buy it, but he'll let me continue as the head chef—I lose it, along with scoops of mashed potatoes flying at his face!

How dare this arrogant jerk come in here and try to yank my dream out from under me? This is WAR!

But then the restaurant owners hear the rumors of our engagement and force us to partner together to make the restaurant a success, or they'll sell to a franchise and we'll lose the whole thing.

This is surely a recipe for disaster and heartbreak. There's no way it can work. Is there?

Pushed is a sweet, enemies to lovers, fake relationship romcom. Loaded with witty banter, outrageous pranks, a meddling matchmaker, swoony kisses, and small-town charm. All the fun and feels, without the spice or swears. For lovers of Emma St. Clair, Cindy Steel, and Sariah Wilson.

Two strangers hiding their own life-long secrets. Can pretending to be married...be that hard?

The town of Greenlock shuns the daughter of the mortician. Day after day, Lauren begrudgingly has to take over her father's duties creating despondence in her tender heart. Then a voice speaks from the morgue basement. A rough and tumble outlaw who's supposed to be dead is still alive!

For some unfathomable reason, Lauren agrees to help him stay dead.

Elias was raised at Lennhurst Asylum. Since he had no family or future, he jumped a half-served prison sentence and enlisted in the recent Civil War to wield explosives. From running and surviving all his life, all Elias promised anyone was loyalty. Love was out of the question. When Lauren mentions her longing to see her mother and sister in Colorado, for loyalty’s sake, he offers to take her on the arduous wagon train journey. Of course, it wouldn't be proper not to be married while traveling together.

Lauren and Elias, so vastly opposite; their charade should be easy and yet they never expected it to threaten their very lives.

Loyalty versus love. Can Love Cover a multitude of sin or destroy a future?

PG-All my romances are standalone, happy endings, and clean with a touch of pepper. :) JD
