Hi Lidy,
I'm so sorry for just now logging in and seeing this. Last year we moved and my life sort of fell apart for awhile. I changed the name from Deliverance as all I could hear were banjos playing in the background to Defiant. It will be out in May of 2019. Yes, I'm a year late, but the book is plotted and I'm working on it now.(less)

“won the Powerball, he remembered he’d purchased a ticket. To his complete disbelief, he discovered the one little stop had changed his life forever. First, he made the Kissing Oaks Corporation. Then he’d informed his brothers they were all going to college. They wouldn’t receive their part of the money until they held a college diploma in their hands.”
Sylvia McDaniel, The Cowboy Billionaire's Lucky Break

“After taking her by the elbow, they walked into the country club where the meeting of the Texas Ranchers Association was held tonight. Adrian gave the girl outside the restaurant their information and she led them to a table where two other couples were seated. He pulled out her chair and she sat quite daintily for someone who could empty a mud puddle with one jump. Of course, that”
Sylvia McDaniel, The Cowboy Billionaire's Lucky Break

“But sometimes dreams change,”
Sylvia McDaniel, The Rancher Takes A Bride
