[AGL] questions about Nadine the movie

[Kathy]

whoo hoo! Under lock and key!! It's got to be sizzlin!

just googled and found she did one romance  in her name called  "Do  
Evil Cheerfully"

Here's a Tory Cates:
Shallie had to make her way in rodeo, a man's world, and Hunt  
McIver's help was
invaluable to her.

But the man himself remained a mystery. Why would he help a woman  
whose motives he didn't trust? Yet together they warmed the western  
nights and built a dream beneath a sky as wide and beautiful as the  
love they learned to share.

and another cover:
