Available through major booksellers beginning May 23, 2023, Albuquerque author Wendy Cohan releases her first book in “The Inn at Verde Springs” contemporary romance series. “The Renaissance Sisters” is a rollicking, enchilada-fueled, summer frolic — a contemporary romance with Western flavor — set in the gorgeously rugged New Mexico landscape.

“In conceiving “The Renaissance Sisters,” I was able to draw on decades of family history and vivid personal memories — parts of the book are actually autobiographical,” said author Wendy Cohan. “It’s such a fun story that some readers might think the plot is entirely contrived — but my family knows the truth!”

Overview of “The Renaissance Sisters”

With the ink not yet dry on her divorce papers, landscape designer Harper Crawley meets up in Santa Fe with her older sister Paige for the reading of their late Aunt Sabina’s will. Surprise! The Crawley sisters are now the co-owners of a derelict ranch in Verde Springs, New Mexico.

Despite its sagging chicken coops and resident bat colony, Harper falls in love with the juniper-covered hills and walls of red rimrock surrounding the neglected property. Soon, Harper is stuffing herself with Maggie’s enchiladas and flirting with local contractor Caleb Johansson, while his adorable five-year-old daughter Ellie wanders the ranch with their two new rescue pups.

Aspen groves and fields of flowers miraculously thrive in the high desert, as Harper works sixteen-hour days to create the garden of her dreams. Then, out of nowhere, Ellie’s mom, Mariah, returns after a traumatic two-year absence. Money troubles threaten the ranch, and Harper’s ex appears like a serpent in their newfound paradise. But in Verde Springs, New Mexico, everyday miracles don’t seem far-fetched, and the secrets to be revealed have the power to change everything.

“Wendy Cohan’s charming debut is sure to garner readers who appreciate women who reinvent themselves and find new paths. She pays homage to the resilience of New Mexico and the human spirit in the first of a promising trilogy.” — Jo-Ann Mapson, author of “Owen’s Daughter” and “Blue Rodeo.”

“This contemporary romance set with heart and clean steam captured me right from the start. Place is equally important, and author Wendy Cohan uses painterly details to make “The Land of Enchantment” vividly come to life. The high desert path to love is strewn with tumbleweeds, and Wendy reveals the intimate working out of relationships with a deft hand and knowing heart.” — Char Jones, “The Literary Redhead.”
