Fall Into Romance

by Shanna Hatfield



I joined forces with nine other authors to create a fun boxed set that releases this Thursday. Together, we created a fictional town in Oregon called Romance and, let me tell you, it was a hoot! But I think the thing I enjoyed most about created this collection of sweet novellas is the awareness the project brings to animal adoptions.

All the stories in the book include one (if not both) of the main characters adopting a pet.

The story I wrote has the heroine adopted an entire family of pot-bellied pigs. But the hero is a cowboy who provides shelter for all the large animals until they can find homes (and some of the animals end up staying on his ranch permanently).

Before writing Blown Into Romance, I'd  never given much thought to what happened to bigger animals (like horses, donkeys, even cows) who end up without a home of their own. It's nice to know there are good-hearted people to take them in and give them a secure place to stay when they need it most.

And that big-hearted kindness fits right in with how cowboys are portrayed in my books.

Blown Into Romance

Artist Brooke Roberts spent her life without roots, wandering from town to town. When she seeks refuge from a freak storm in the town of Romance, she decides to stay and open a blown glass studio. Determined to immerse herself in the community, she adopts a family of pigs. Brooke is unprepared for the chaos and comfort they bring to her world, or the dashing cowboy who rescues her heart.  

Solid, dependable Blayne Grundy runs a busy ranch, volunteers on various committees, and takes in stray animals too large to stay at the local animal rescue. Then a chance encounter with a beautiful, beguiling woman leaves him so befuddled, he can barely remember his own name. His predictable organized life is about to be blown away by free-spirited Brooke.


A sweet, lighthearted novella, Blown Into Romance highlights the mighty power of love and letting go.
