My Heart Will Find Yours got a facelift.

I'm so pleased with this new cover for My Heart Will Find Yours. I'm not sure when it will go public but it will be soon. The story has not been altered and is Book One in the Turquoise Legacy. Flames on the Sky is book two.

Fated lovers suffer the agony of loss only to be reunited to fulfill a greater plan. 

TEXANNA KEITH doesn't believe an antique locket is the key to time travel, but plays along, and to her horror, is zapped back to 1880 Waco, Texas. Her mission is to prevent Royce Dyson's death in a shootout. Wounded, she loses what she longs for most - a life with Royce. 

Marshall ROYCE DYSON'S wife disappeared in 1876. Now she's reappeared, claiming she's a time traveler. As he seeks the truth, he's determined to keep Texanna with him, but it's not destined to be.

I'll give a shout when the new edition is released. If you haven't read this series, I hope you'll pick up a copy of both books in the Turquoise Legacy—My Heart Will Find Yours and Flames on the Sky.

Thank you Diana Carlile for your beautiful design.

Here is the trailer for My Heart Will Find Yours. It still has the old cover but I'll have it updated soon.



Praise for My Heart Will Find Yours

Birdie's Nest—Escape to 1890s Waco, Texas—A Time Travel

June 1, 2012, Waco, Texas
            “Why Birdie, where’ve you been hiding all that… bounty?” Sergeant Ted Weaver, Birdie’s co-worker, whipped off his Stetson and laid the hat over his heart. His gaze raked her from head to toe, finally settling on her breasts. Birdie wanted to smack his grinning face. She snorted and covered the bare skin above the red strapless dress with her oversized handbag. It’d taken all the nerve she could garner to exit the ladies restroom in the sleazy garb. Tonight’s Victorian costume party dress paled in comparison to her current get-up. Everyone in the unit was counting on her to succeed this afternoon. But tonight her family home was at stake. She couldn’t afford to fail at either assignment.
            “Watch yourself, Weaver.” She slapped her thigh, where her thigh holster held her Ruger, with her free hand. “I can still pierce your ear for you.”
            His howls of laughter bounced off the walls. At least the other men in the office were courteous enough to bend their heads and try to hide their snickers.

            Being a woman in the Texas Rangers wasn’t easy. While some tolerated her, others ignored her. If she pulled off this afternoon’s assignment, where several male rangers had failed, maybe the stigma of being a woman in their ranks would lose some of its stink. 

Available at Amazon, & Barnes & Noble.

I hope you'll pick up a copy.

Birdie's Nest is Free for 5 days on Amazon!

Starting THURSDAY, Birdie's Nest, a time travel set in 1890s Waco, Texas will be free on Amazon in ebook format. It will be free for five days. The sale ends Sunday, August 13th at 11:59 PM. If you didn't get a copy the first time it was free, I hope you'll do so now.

To get your book, go to this link.  http://amzn.to/17UxLWo

Be sure to make sure it comes up free before you click on buy as sometimes they're slow getting the price updated.

And please, leave a short review letting me know how you liked it or if you liked it. You can leave it Anonymously if you don't want to leave your name.

Here's the blurb.


Texas Ranger, Birdie Braxton boards the Brazos Belle to attend a costume party, gets tossed into the Brazos and when she's pulled from the river she's told the year is 1890. A fact she cannot accept … until she looks across the river to see Birdie’s Nest, her ancestral home, no longer exists.


Tad Lockhart is a content man—a prosperous rancher with a ladylove in Waco. He's not interested in marriage and family, yet… until he pulls an unconscious woman from the Brazos who insists she's a Texas Ranger from the year 2012. 

As romance blooms between Tad and Birdie, she struggles to earn enough money to build Birdie’s Nest, and Tad strives to mold Birdie into a Victorian lady suitable to be his wife. Can Birdie give up dabbling in police work and other unladylike pursuits yet stay true to herself? When faced with an indiscretion from Tad's past, is Birdie's love strong enough to support her man and be the woman he needs?


Happy Reading!

Two Reviews from Night Owl Romance!

I'm thrilled to receive these two reviews from Night Owl Romance Reviews. I love these two stories but it's so nice to have my opinion validated. Thank you Night Owl Romance!

My Heart Will Find Yours

"The appealing characters and deft use of honest emotions will draw readers into this captivating page-turner. The reader will be drawn to the love Royce had for Pearl and now, understandably, with Texanna. Although the story line is unusual, it still comes across as believable. This is a must read for any western romance lover. "

Reviewer Gail gave My Heart Will Find Yours a 4.5 rating.

Investment of the Heart

"Author Linda LaRoque has written a thoroughly enjoyable western romance. She obviously cares for her characters as she has developed them into people with strong, realistic feelings and opinions...The story flows smoothly and moves quickly to a surprising but inevitable conclusion leaving the reader to wonder how these characters fare in the future. That, to me, is a sign of a good author."

Gail gave Investment of the Heart a 4 our of 5 rating.
