Jo Grafford
Author Jo Grafford writes sweet contemporary and historical romance stories with humor and heart, and always with a happily ever after.
A typical day for her finds her behind her computer, with a fizzy beverage within her grasp, and a cat napping on her desk. And he winds up taking credit for much of what she does.
When she is not busy writing stories, she is reading them. She adores bounty hunters, cowboys, humorous sidekicks, and mail order brides, and so on. She also likes taking an occasional escape to some exotic places and the high stakes arena of billionaires.
“Breaking Ties” is the first novel in the “Lost Colony” series and was released in the year 2013. Rose Payne’s heartbroken when her secret betrothal to this one duke’s son results in a public scandal and her family getting dismissed from her position as a clerk in his noble household. She is desperate for work, so she signs up for a risky colonial venture and sets sails for the New World, and vows to never again to fall for some wealthy gentleman.
Chief Manteo, sailing back home after a diplomatic tour in London, is bewitched by the fiery-haired, intelligent, working class girl and is determined to overcome her distrust of men. A powerful and titled man on two continents, he’s everything that she believes she’s not looking for.
However a guy in his position never backs down from any sort of challenge that comes his way. He contrives this daring plan to win her heart. It’s a plan that he prays is going to keep her safe from a conspiracy which involves blood money, murder, and a horrifying betrayal aboard their fleet of ships.
This novel is based off the story of the real Lost Colonists from Roanoke Island. Pure historical fiction with a delightful dash of romance!
“Her Billionaire Boss” is the first novel in “The Black Tie Billionaires” series and was released in the year 2019. Jacey Maddox is determined to atone for her forbidden love and her tragically short marriage by dedicating the rest of Genesis & Sons, her late husband’s firm. That is, they will consider hiring a hated Maddox.
CEO Luca Calcagni is determined to teach the rebel youngest daughter of their largest rival firm the lesson of her life by hiring her to be his personal assistant. He never counted on them having explosive attraction any more than she counted on finding herself pregnant with his dead brother’s son. When she threatens to raise her baby as far away as possible from the reaches of their age-old family feud, it’s going to take his most skillful negotiating to maneuver her into this marriage of convenience in order to keep her and the final tie to his brother—her unborn baby—in town.
Except marriage to this artistic, stunning, and complex Jacey winds up being anything but convenient. This novel is a turbulent flight through the lives of two shattered families. And it’s a story about unexpected love, second chances, and the discovery that it just takes a small amount of faith to make something beautiful out of nothing.
“Bride for the Innkeeper” is the first novel in the “Mail Order Brides of Christmas Mountain” series and was released in the year 2021. He is a by-the-book kind of fellow, while she is a rule breaker. Since opposites attract, sparks start flying the instant they meet.
Edward Remington made a promise that he plans on keeping. He is determined to restore his family’s rundown inn to its old glory; all despite a rugged band of cowboy brothers trying jump a claim on the place and despite a Comanche dispute over land boundaries which needs settling.
Making things worse, he does not even know the first thing about carpentry, and he soon learns that he knows even less about the day-to-day management of the inn. When a new bridal agency opens just next door, he sends out for a mail-order bride, anxious to provide the locals with a proper lady to serve as the hostess of the inn.
Possibly the agency misunderstood his application, or possibly never even bothered to read it to begin with, because they ultimately send Lacey Cleveland to him. She is a heart stopping beauty in a threadbare dress and has a reputation for stirring up trouble wherever she goes.
There’s quite a wonderful cast of characters that populates this book, and Jo filled this one with such humor and the understanding that with perseverance and faith anything is truly possible. She delivers a heartwarming and sweet tale filled with danger, claim jumping squatters, second chances, Comanches, some undisclosed nephew, and romance.
“Bride for the Deputy” is the second novel in the “Mail Order Brides of Christmas Mountain” series and was released in the year 2021. One lovely debutante that looks to escape from an arranged marriage, the hotheaded deputy that waylays her carriage, and their accidental attraction for each other that everybody warns is never going to lead to any sort of happily-ever-after.
The newest deputy of Christmas Mountain, Jesse Hawling, is determined to impress the socks off of the townsfolk. He sure as hell ain’t going back to the asylum ever, where he was housed one year earlier for temporary insanity because of the accidental ingestion of this herb which causes hallucinations.
Lauded to be the loveliest debutante of the entire season by New York’s social elite. Iris Hildebrand’s always obeyed the wishes of her family, to the point where her cruel guardian attempts to forcing her to marry against her own will. Her refusal earns her a one way ticket to a remote asylum out west, a move which will subsequently strip the heiress of all rights to her vast fortune.
A highway holdup delays her captivity, she finds herself facing one cocky cowboy from her past which she never expected she’d see again, somebody that she’s no choice but to trust with her safety, even though she knows better than to trust the guy (or any other guy) with her heart!
