Do you have a recipe you and your spouse enjoy making?
Actually, we do! Several years ago I mentioned to him that I wished I knew how to make homemade biscuits for The Rescue since my heroine has a difficult time making them. 😊 The idea took hold, and it wasn’t long before we started making biscuits together. Here’s the recipe. Hope you enjoy!

About the book – The Rescue:
Sometimes the path to freedom is found in an unexpected future.
Upon the death of her mother, Rosalind Standford’s life shatters, the pieces scattering to the wind when she is forced into a betrothal to a cunning banker. But when a telegram arrives announcing the man who captured her heart is on a train to Boston, Rosalind must hide her true feelings before the thin cord of her existence unravels the deadly secrets she keeps.
Cowboy Trent Easton returns to his roots in Boston society to find his childhood friend, the love of his heart. Instead he finds a broken woman engaged to a man close to her father’s age. Though she once rejected him, when Trent learns she’s in danger, he determines to do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even taking her to the altar in the black of night. But will his name and the remote wilds of his Texas ranch be enough to protect her? Or will freedom cost them their lives?
