The Seduction of Widow McEwan by Melissa Schroeder (originally pubished in e-book format 11/20/07)
A younger man bent on seduction. An older woman determined to resist. A love that cannot be denied.

Jameson McEwan is widowed, but happy with her lot in life. After suffering through an arranged marriage to an older man, she's had little romance and very little experience with men—other than ordering them around on her ranch.

Seth Conner has harbored a bit of an obsession for Jamie since the tender age of sixteen. Now that she's widowed, he has sensed her reluctance to wed again and has kept his distance. When she says she's marrying another man—strictly as a business arrangement—Seth decides he's waited long enough.

Jamie never expected to find herself in bed shivering with desire, especially not with Seth. One taste of a night filled with passion, and she finds he's as addictive as liquor. But their age difference and her responsibilities hold her back from considering a future with him. Seth refuses to take no for an answer.

As the dance of seduction heats up, trouble brews. Someone is poisoning Jamie's cattle, setting fires on her ranch. Someone is hell-bent on making sure Jamie and Seth never find happiness, someone who will stop at nothing—including murder.

Rebecca Goings' Bio

Rebecca Goings dreamed of becoming a writer for most her life. Bitten by the writing bug at the tender age of seven, she went on to earn awards for her short stories and poetry in high school. She took many creative writing classes as a teen, and even scheduled a typing class to learn the keyboard. The idea for The Wolverine Chronicles first came to her as a young teen, dreaming about a magical talisman and the elves that protect it. After Rebecca married, these cheesy little fantasy stories began to grow and evolve until she decided to write it down on paper. These novels no longer resemble anything in those first few stories, aside from a few names of people and places borrowed here and there. Rebecca's first love is romance. She read her first romance at age twelve and knew she was hooked. Now every story she writes has an element of romance in them. She firmly believes that everyone deserves their "happily ever after."

Rebecca is happily married to her husband Jim and they have four small children. They reside in the Pacific Northwest with their two cats, their dog, and their lizard. When asked how on Earth she accomplishes so much writing, Rebecca simply answers, "I don't know".
