Welcome to my website!  I’m very excited about the first book of my new series, set in the small town of Otter Tail, Wisconsin.  I loved writing about an Irish pub and creating a community around it, especially after seeing firsthand how important a place like the Harp and Halo is in a small town.  It’s not just a place to have a beer – it’s a place to meet friends, sit and talk, listen to music.  And, for Maddie and Quinn, a place to fall in love.

Maddie only wanted to sell the property she’d inherited from her godfather and get out of town.  She’d hated Otter Tail as a child, and didn’t want to stay a minute longer than necessary.  Then she realized Quinn Murphy was the man running the pub she had to sell.  The man she’d had a crush on, all those years ago.  The reason she’d never been back to Otter Tail.

A quick trip suddenly became a lot more complicated.

I hope you enjoy your first visit to Otter Tail, and I hope you’ll want to come back.  The next book in the series, CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT? is coming out in June, 2010.

Reviews for my last trilogy of books:

 Home at Last

Watson’s gift for characterization makes this an appealing tale of intense emotion.   -Alexandra Kay, RT

The third McInnes Triplet contemporary romance… proves you can come home if love is there. The support cast is solid, but the tale belongs to the lead couple as Jackson must get over his ire and intense feelings of betrayal while Fiona must overcome her fears of commitments. Fans will enjoy this second chance at love due to the strong characterizations.   -Harriet Klausner

Review for No Place Like Home

Margaret Watson’s No Place Like Home (4.5) combines well-drawn characters and an interesting plot into a delightful novel. Her characters’ insecurities intensify the story.   -Alexandra Kay, RT

Review for A Place Called Home

…A Place Called Home (3) is an entertaining tale about finding love where one would never expect it…   –Alexandra Kay, RT
