Maggie Dalton has no need for a man in her life. Widowed more than ten years, she\u2019s built a successful business and managed quite well on her own in the bustling town of Baker City, Oregon. Aggravated by her inability to block thoughts of the handsome lumber mill owner from her mind, she renews her determination to resist his attempts at friendship.<\/p>\n

Full of Scottish charm and mischief, Ian MacGregor could claim any available woman in Baker City as his own, except the enchanting dress shop owner who continues to ignore him. Not one to give up on what he wants, Ian vows to win Maggie\u2019s heart or leave the town he\u2019s come to love.<\/p>\n

In addition to blogging and eating too much chocolate, she is completely smitten with her husband, lovingly known as Captain Cavedweller.<\/p>\n

Shanna creates character-driven romances with realistic heroes and heroines. Her historical westerns have been described as \u201creminiscent of the era captured by Bonanza and The Virginian\u201d while her contemporary works have been called \u201claugh-out-loud funny, and a little heart-pumping sexy without being explicit in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is a member of Western Writers of America, Women Writing the West, and Romance Writers of America.<\/p>\n
