Kade Blackwell has met his match in Skylar (Skye) Rutherford. Skye is a successful photographer and Kade is, well...he could be the next supermodel if Skye has her way. Kade owns the local garage in the tiny desert town of Oasis in Arizona and his passion is customizing motorcycles. He has no inclination to become a supermodel, until he suddenly finds himself in need of funds for his grandmother.
While writing the first book in this series, Stranded in Oasis, I received inspiration for the second story when I got to Chapter 21: Skylar. It's like everything fell into place. I suddenly had my romantic characters for book two--Skylar Rutherford (sister of Max) and Kade Blackwell (cousin of Pilar). And the way they disliked each other in book one could be carried over into book two. It was perfect. I also introduced a mystery in book two that will be the basis for book three, Crashed in Oasis.
For those readers who have read my Romance on the Ranch Series, here's a little silliness: in Branded in Oasis I make mention of Sage Tanner, the famous model from Dream Kisses, and also Harvey Livingston, the egotistical designer. In addition, the heroine of upcoming Crashed in Oasis is Dottie Arnez, mother of Lucy from my YA novel, Fragile Hearts. Why did I do this when most readers will never realize the connections? I suppose it's because I have this desire to keep tabs on my imaginary world of characters. Crazy? Yeah.
