Blurb:
A millionaire cowboy must woo a single mom to earn his inheritance! Only from USA TODAY bestselling author Catherine Mann…
Single mom Nina Lowery has never understood the sex appeal of cowboys. Until she brings her son to a weeklong horse camp and meets the wealthy rancher in charge…
Seduction isn’t part of Alex McNair’s plan to earn his piece of his family’s estate. Yet plans have a way of changing. Nina and her little boy hold the key to Alex’s future. Breaking the promise he made to his dying grandmother is not an option…but neither is breaking Nina’s heart.
Bon Appétit and a Book:
Please provide one of your favorite recipes (drink, snack, entrée, etc.) that could go along with the
theme of your book (if possible)—or just your favorite recipe in general!
Sweet tea! I’m Southern, after all. And the recipe is so simple. Get a gallon drink dispenser. Place 6-8
large tea bags in the container. Place the lid on tp with the tags dangling out. Set the container in the
window sill all day. At the end of the day, pull out the tea bags. Add 3-4 cups or sugar (or your low calorie
sweetener of choice) and refrigerate. Especially yummy if add lemon slices or mint leaves.
Writing Space Tour:
Describe your usual writing space that helps inspire you to write—whether it be a comfy chair, a desk
covered in sticky notes or a beachy oasis. Bloggers love photos! If you’re able to take a photo of your
view, all the better. Please include a paragraph description about why this place helps you get into your
writing mode and perhaps explain a couple of the items in the photo.
Whether upstairs or downstairs, I sit in the same corner of the house with double French doors
overlooking the water and a barrier island. Sometimes I meander out onto the porch to write as well (if
the mosquitoes aren’t biting too badly! LOL!) I find the peace of the ocean/sound/gulf very soothing.
Love Lessons Learned:
What are some of the real-life romance lessons we can take away from the book?
PURSUED BY THE RANCHER is all about second chances. No matter how bad the heartache (both the
hero and heroine have suffered deep losses) and no matter how big the challenges (the heroine has
special needs son), there is hope for the future. Finding a life partner, a true and lasting love, can heal
those wounds and offer strength to build a beautiful forever – together.
Interview
- You have more than 60 books released in more than 20 countries. What’s it like to have fans all over the world?
What a thrill to have the opportunity to touch readers around the globe. I’m not only an author, but also an avid reader myself. I treasure the escape of a great read and am honored to offer that entertainment to others.
- What inspired you to make the move from theater school director to romance author?
The two actually share many similarities – the world building, characterization, plotting, staging, creating tension. I’m building a world with words rather than on a stage. My theater background also has a heavy emphasis in directing and literature.
- Can you tell us about your animal rescue work?
Ah, my heart and passion – I’ve been an animal rescuer for over a decade through fostering and serving on a shelter board of directors. Recently, I took a big leap of faith with some close friends and started our own rescue – The Sunshine State Animal Rescue. We’re a 501c3, non profit, no-kill rescue, all foster-home based. While we do traditional adoption placements, we also specialize in identifying animals at shelters that have working dog potential and partnering them into service/therapy/search and rescue placements. It’s been a life changing experience. FMI check out our facebook page:

- If PURSUED BY THE RICH RANCHER were made into a movie, who would you cast in the starring roles?
Timothy Olyphant as Alex McNair – definitely! And Emma Stone as single mom Nina Lowery.
- What are you working on next?
Exciting news! I’m starting a new series for Harlequin Desire called the “Bayou Billionaires” – a football family dynasty that gives the books a sports industry setting. I’m writing the launch book, award winning author Joanne Rock is writing the second. She and I will continue to alternate writing books in the series so readers can have a book a month in the series. The series begins in early 2016 with HIS PREGNANT PRINCESS BRIDE.
