Before I started writing this third book in the Finding Home Series, I wasn't sure whether to title it after Missouri or Texas because both states (and two romances) are equally divided in the storyline. I chose the name Missouri Challenge for a couple of reasons: first, it's the state that Tim Wells and Daisy Smithson's adventure begins in, and second...well, I think I'll let the story reveal that.
Originally, this was meant to be only Daisy and Tim's romance, but in Rescue on the Rio: Lilah, I introduced Trent Garrett, the brother of Rush Garrett, and he became such a tortured hero, I just had to find the perfect woman for him.
I suppose another reason for naming this book Missouri Challenge is because it was so challenging to write. Of course, it could just as easily have been titled Texas Challenge.
