by Chrissy Hartmann
Saddle up and get ready to be swept away by twelve heartwarming and spicy romantic short stories set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Great Lakes. This anthology has something for every kind of romance lover, from tender sweet moments to fiery, passionate encounters.
Among these tales is “Tacking of Hearts: A Whiskey Salvation Short Story,” crafted by the western romantic, Chrissy Hartmann.
This story follows Olivia Masters, a writer living on the serene Kelleys Island, who never expected to fall for Kaleb Tyler, a rugged cowboy whose family ranch became her temporary home. She spent months learning the ropes of the cowboy way of life, never thinking she’d see Kaleb again. But life has a way of surprising us, and Olivia’s heart skips a beat when Kaleb arrives on her island, determined to win her over.
Doubtful that a cowboy could ever settle into island life, Olivia’s reservations begin to melt away during a sailboat ride one sunny afternoon. As they tack the sails and navigate the waters of Lake Eerie, Olivia and Kaleb find their hearts steering towards each other. “Tacking of Hearts” is just the first taste of the three Tyler brothers’ tales, promising more cowboy charm and romance to come.
Alongside Olivia and Kaleb’s story, this anthology features eleven other delightful stories by authors like Cyndi Brec, Patricia Miller, Christy Eberling, Lisa Rabey, and more. Each story adds its own flavor to this rich collection of love and romance on the Great Lakes.
So, kick off your boots, grab a Whiskey, and settle in for some unforgettable romances. The Great Lakes Fiction Writers anthology is waiting for you here:
