Z.A. Maxfield

Even the coldest cowboy’s heart can be ignited… J-Bar ranch foreman Malloy pretty much keeps to himself—slinking around the edges of everybody else like an old coyote, doing his job and staying private. That is until Crispin Carrasco shows up. Lean, muscular, and with a motor mouth that won’t quit, Crispin sparks something in Malloy—something the foreman didn’t know was there. But how does a lone coyote approach the warmth of a fire? And more important, what would happen if that fire burned? “Z.A. Maxfield has a lyrical way of writing that makes it easy to escape into the world that she creates for her characters.”—Night Owl Reviews

My Cowboy Heart

Notturno

A country star unplugs from the fame in this all-new romance in the My Cowboy series. The world watches as Truman King's band, Old Country Roses, breaks up publicly and painfully. In private, Truman's grieving for a different loss--the end of his relationship with long-time songwriting partner and lover Kevin Braedon. He leaves Atlanta--possibly for good--with plans to reclaim his life in the outskirts of Austin, Texas. There, Truman buys a fixer-upper house, hires the hottest contractor in Texas, and gets to work. Vanraj Desai draws a firm line between his business and personal lives. He values his culture and loves his family. He intends to honor both by resisting everything Truman King has to offer. Tough and talented, Truman seems to have it all--fame, cash, and charisma to burn. But like with his house, when Vanraj digs deep, what he finds surprises him--an irresistible, generous, and utterly vulnerable man. Truman hides from his desires, while Vanraj resists his. This project might be too big for the two of them, unless it's built to love.

Men, however, are a different story… Malcolm never intended to catch Andi’s eye all those years ago at the rodeo. There were a million reasons it wouldn’t work—the age difference for one.

What Child Is This?

Nash is the reliable one in the Holly family, the guy everyone counts on to keep things going. His genius twin brother is off at university, so Nash runs the family’s auto repair business and cares for his partially-paralyzed little sister while his crackpot father invents. His life seems mapped out for the foreseeable future, however much that might chafe. So when Wolf’s Landing actor Spencer Kepler-Constantine lands in his life, Nash is ready for a diversion. Spencer is in the middle of a very painful, very public divorce and isn’t ready for a relationship — not that Nash wants one. But they both need a friend, especially one with benefits. As they grow closer, Nash starts to see his family in a whole new light. Do they really need him so badly? Or does he simply need to be needed? Then Spencer’s ex reappears with a grand romantic gesture, and Nash has to figure out what he wants — and how to get it — before Spencer’s gone for good.

After his brother’s tragic death, Tripp has to leave the army and return to New Mexico to take care of his mother while his father is in prison for arson.

But will the sins of the father interfere with the desires of the son? Tripp’s father may be responsible for the death of Lucho’s grandfather. Now Tripp must balance caring for his mother, repairing his father’s damages, and trying to win the heart of a man who has every reason to hate him and his family… Praise for Z. A. Maxfield: “Z. A. Maxfield has a lyrical way of writing that makes it easy to escape into the world that she creates for her characters.”—Night Owl Reviews “… The thing that you managed to pull off that made […] me happy was that ePistols at Dawn was also a damn good story and a hot, exciting romance.”—Dear Author “Maxfield has written another gem and a winner. Run, don’t walk, to get a copy of Stirring Up Trouble today.”—ReviewsbyJessewave.com “Secret Light is not necessarily a feel good story but it’s wonderfully written and highlights a more realistic look at gay men.”—Long and Short Reviews “The characters are strongly written and will pull you into their story right from the beginning.”—Three Crow Press about Gasp! Z. A. Maxfield started writing in 2007 on a dare from her children and never looked back. Pathologically disorganized, and perennially optimistic, she writes as much as she can, reads as much as she dares, and enjoys her time with family and friends. If anyone asks her how a wife and mother of four manages to find time for a writing career, she’ll answer, “It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you give up housework.” Her published books include My Cowboy Heart, My Heartache Cowboy, Crossing Borders, Epic Award finalist St. Nacho’s, Drawn Together, ePistols at Dawn, Notturno, Stirring Up Trouble, and Vigil.
