HER SECRET COWBOY CRUSH

Ally Martinez has always been known as a fun and flirty kind of gal. But deep down she’s never forgotten the cowboy who left town. When her crush Reagan Chase comes home after a five-year absence, Ally knows this is her big chance. The guy I’ve always wanted. Only Reagan has something different in mind…

Still reeling from his last relationship, Reagan needs a babysitter for his month-old son. With Ally’s help, he can get his family’s ranch ready for sale and get out of Cowboy Creek. The problem? Ally is one seriously cute distraction. But Reagan will do whatever it takes to keep his heart safe. Even if it means losing the only place—and the only woman—he can call home.

Excerpt from the book

“It’s still early yet,” Reagan told Ally. “You should go. You probably have somewhere else you want to be tonight.”

She shook her head. “Not really.”

He crossed the room and plucked the dust cloth from her hand. “All right, then, you must have something else you want to do on a Friday night besides clean dusty shelves. Like hang out at the Bowl-a-Rama. Or go for a treat at the Big Dipper.”

She gave him a slow smile that made him wish he’d stayed where he was. “I could go for something, but I sure don’t need any ice cream to make my jeans even tighter.”

He clutched the cloth, his fingers itching. And it had nothing to do with any dust allergy, that was for sure. He wanted to reach out and touch those curves he’d had the pleasure of seeing.

She couldn’t have caught him watching her, could she? He glanced at the shelves. No mirrored surfaces, and even the rows of porcelain knickknacks, now freshly dusted, couldn’t reflect an image from across the room.

No, Ally was just being Ally. A kid—now a woman—with a teasing sense of humor.

He had to believe that, because he refused to let himself think of her as anything more, as anything to him personally but an acquaintance. A babysitter. An employee.

He stepped back and cleared his throat again. Get a grip.

Have you been a naughty author or a nice author?

I guess you could say I’ve been mostly nice, but with a naughty streak. Kind of like my heroine, Lily Penhallow Albright, in my latest release Lily and the Gambler. Lily is a bad girl trying to good.

Which is more fun?

Lily would tell you being naughty is always more fun. The only downside is the unanticipated consequences.

Lily Gambler coverHere’s the blurb:

Respectability is in the eye of the beholder. Or so Lily Penhallow hopes when she assumes the guise of the widow Albright. She has learned the price of flaunting convention and is determined to obey society’s rules from now on. After her lover, Nigel Albright, was killed in a duel over a card game, Lily dons widow’s weeds and travels to Grass Valley, California where she plans to marry the man her uncle works for, a respectable mine owner named Hugh Ogilvie. Then, on the riverboat from San Francisco, she meets Creighton ‘King’ Callaway, a professional gambler, just the kind of man she should avoid.

King believes that since life is a gamble, there’s no point in planning for the future. You have to trust Lady Luck. After meeting Lily, King knows he has found his Queen of Hearts. But can he convince her to pass up a sober businessman for a foot-loose card sharp?

Only Lady Luck knows for sure…
