Will the sun set on their chance at happiness before they can seize it?

To finally escape the clutches of her controlling husband and the threat of being recommitted to an asylum, Ginny Rutledge enlists the help of her friends, Maeve O’Toole and Dakota Harlan. Fleeing their own tumultuous pasts, the group embarks on a journey to prove Ginny’s sanity. However, as they confront the shadows they wish they could forget, danger looms from unexpected places.

Maeve grapples with her mother’s impending remarriage and seizes a rare chance to escape her homestead–but that means reuniting with Dakota, the man she holds responsible for her father’s death, who is caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful family. As the two of them navigate their shared history and a dangerous mission, Dakota is forced to confront his deepest fears and fight for the woman who has unwittingly captured his heart.

More from Mary

Into the Sunset is the third book in A Western Light series, and I always love the wrap up of a series. In this book I’ve got a deliciously evil villain, and I’ve worked that villain in and out of the characters lives at the end of each of the first two books, but he keeps coming back. This time, he really gets what’s coming to him. Anyway, it’s not a shocking thing to say: the bad guy loses. I’ll bet most readers of my work knew that was coming. It’s the HOW that makes it fun.

My heroine is one I really enjoyed: Maeve O’Toole—a red-headed, sassy Irish lass with a mild brogue. And my hero, Dakota Harlan, has interested her from the first moment she laid eyes on him. Except that moment was several years ago, and she blamed him for her father’s death on the wagon train Dakota was leading. Then life separated them as he went on to Oregon and her family turned aside to homestead in Idaho. Now Dakota is back in Maeve’s life again. She’s had a chance to see that her anger with Dakota was unfair and has discovered that Dakota has always admired her. He’d probably scoop her up and marry her, if it wasn’t for the men trying to kill him. He doesn’t have much room for a wife in the life he’s living now.

In this story, I bring back all the characters from the earlier two books. The villain who’s been harassing them all along reappears, and the men hunting Dakota show up, too. Ginny must go to court to break the hold her evil husband has over her, declaring her insane and locking her away. She’s been hiding ever since. But now she’s ready to face him in court, but a conniving, wealthy man like her husband never plays fair.

Into the Sunset is packed with love and action, adventure and danger. All play out against the hectic railroad town of Cheyenne, Wyoming a few years after Wyoming becomes the first state to give women the right to vote. And there are some tough, smart women ready to stand between Ginny and a cruel husband. And plenty of tough smart cowboys, too. I hope you love this story!

Interview with Mary

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I wrote my first book when I was twelve. I took mass media communications in college and did some writing there. So, I always loved writing, but the first time I sat down at my computer to write a book for the first time was when my baby went to kindergarten. I was 38 years old.

How long does it take you to write a book?

About three months. I write 1,000 words a day seven days a week. In theory, I can write a full-length book every 75 days, right? That’s 2.5 months. But I must back out of my writing to do revisions and some days I just miss, not often, but sometimes. I give myself 4 months.

What is your real-life work schedule like when writing?

I tend to write late at night, but not always. It’s the only work I do—it is my only job. The kids are grown. My husband is retired and does 90% of the cooking and cleaning and yard work (okay, I admit it…99%).

What are your favorite books to read?

I read widely in all genres. I love books that move, that are full of action and drama and romance. I love regency romance and detective fiction.

What would you say is the most difficult part of writing a book?

There is no part that is difficult for me. I wrote for ten years before I got my first book published, so I still remember the thrill and I always am so grateful people want to read my books and I refuse to dislike any part of it.

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?

Not much. You could say I am unbalanced.
