Sheriff Garrett Brand was shocked to find a baby on his doorstep. While his siblings joked that maybe he wasn't such a responsible guy after all, Garrett knew he was nobody's daddy. But the Texan was intent on discovering the identity of this little cowboy's mama….
All Chelsea Brennan wanted when she arrived at the Brand ranch was her nephew…and answers about her sister's mysterious death. But she never expected a rough and rugged lawman to act like a proud father and lavish the baby with love. Especially when Garrett claimed he didn't have love to give. And now Chelsea wanted much more than she'd bargained for—to be a Brand herself….
THE TEXAS BRAND: This family was born, bred—and bound to be wed—in Texas!
New York Times Bestselling author Maggie Shayne has published 53 novels, all for major NY Publishers, in her 18 year career. So far. In 2012 she'll be releasing a brand new trilogy dubbed "The Portal" and its books will include MARK OF THE WITCH in October 2012, DAUGHTER OF THE SPELL CASTER in December 2012, and BLOOD OF THE SORCERESS in February 2013, all for MIRA Books.
Maggie has published westerns, category romances, romantic suspense, paranormal romances, urban fantasy, women's fiction, and just about everything in between, and is currently working on her first thriller. She's a winner of the RITA Award, the romance fiction industry's most prestigious prize, and has won countless others.
Maggie's "Twilight" series of vampire novels, officially known as Wings in the Night, began in 1993 with a TWILIGHT PHANTASIES from Silhouette Shadows. The series only just concluded with TWILIGHT FULFILLED in October 2011. (Printable list and reading order at the author's website and on her Facebook page.)
Besides being an author, Maggie is a Wiccan High Priestess, Reiki healer, Tarot Card Reader, unofficial Life Coach, Law of Attraction expert, advice columnist, and a licensed minister. Her long running newspaper advice column has just now been compiled into book form; SHAYNE ON YOU, the author's first non-fiction book.
Recently, Maggie has begun re-releasing her out of print novels in ebook format. So far these include FAIRYTALE, FOREVER ENCHANTED and ANNIE'S HERO, fantasy-romances she wrote for Avon Books (Harper Collins) in the early 1990's, and a novella WITCH MOON RISING, originally published by Spilled Candy Books.
There will be much more to come.
Of course Maggie's publishers also release E-versions of her works, and it's difficult for the average reader to tell whether an ebook is released by a publisher, or the author herself. Especially books that were previously published by a NY Publishing House. Just look for the "Publisher" listing in the book's information and you'll see what's what. The prices are usually a little bit lower on the books Maggie releases herself.
Maggie lives with her soulmate Lance in a tiny town called Taylor (phone exchange: Truxton, mailing address: Cincinnatus, tax map: Cuyler. Smalltown folks understand!) in New York State's little known but sprawling and gorgeous dairy farm & wine country near the Fingerlakes region. Together they have a pair of Old English Mastiffs (Dozer & Daisy,) a chubby little bulldog (Niblet), an arrogant cat (Glorificus,) a saltwater reef aquarium with two clown fish (Larry & Cill) and two damsels (Vinnie & Blue,) a bearded dragon (Captain Yellow Beard) and a life of utter contentment and joy.

Book 1, Texas Brand series. I love book series & this one is no different. The Brands are a family you will enjoy getting your teeth into. Garrett is the oldest brother who has bought his siblings up since their parents died. He runs the Texas Brand ranch with his family.
One night he finds a baby on his door step. The mother implies in a note that Garrett is the father. A couple of days later baby Ethan's aunt Chelsea turns up at the ranch ready to confront the babies father & murderer of the mother. But Chelsea has got the wrong man.
This story is full of suspence, intruige, laughter & passion. I just loved it &can't wait to read the rest.
Jessie's story is next in "The badest virgin in Texas" (Book 2).

I loved this book. It had adventure, romances, and suspense. It was a heart warming story. Garrett was a hero in the finest sense. Chelsey did not know what to think on this big warm Teddy Bear of a man. This book was one of Maggie Shayne finest.

When Buddy's desparate mother leaves him at the home of the local sheriff she found more then shelter for her endangered child she found a home. A home made complete when his grieving aunt shows up save him from the man she thinks killed her little sister.
I love this book. I've read it a dozen times and it remains one of my favorites and in my opinion one of Shayne's most powerful books ever. Plus being the start of The Texas Brand series.
