Tagline:
One look ignites a
smolder between Dan and Blaire, one touch sparks a wildfire that burns out of
control, hotter than the Texas sun.
Blurb:
Blaire is a freelance photographer on assignment.
She is heading home to Texas, armed with her camera to do a photo feature for
the Tribune. Taking photos of the dude ranch, she gets an eyeful of an
uninhibited cowboy through her lens. The summer heat of Texas has nothing on
the heat he generates in her.
Dan was expecting a photographer but not the sexy
urban cowgirl that arrived. He knew it was hot out, he just hadn’t expected the
hot and sexy woman to make him burn the minute he caught sight of her. One look
and he had to quench this fire inside.
One touch between Dan and Blaire sparks a wildfire
that burns hotter than the Texas summer and is just as hard to put out.

Excerpt:
Graduation had her moving to Chicago. After a couple of
years of living and working there, she realized that Chicago couldn’t give her
the life she thought she’d wanted. What she wanted was right here in Texas, so
when she got this assignment she packed her bags, subletted her apartment, and
headed home.
The GPS announced she was there. Looking around, Blaire
spotted the driveway; it was hard to miss. The wrought iron arch over the drive
simply proclaimed Triple D Dude Ranch. She frowned. The drive was just as dusty
as the road and there was not a hotel in sight.
Sighing, Blaire put on her signal and pulled over. She
stopped and grabbed her camera. A picture of the arch, with the wrought iron
words showcasing the name, would be a perfect shot. Blaire opened her door and
groaned as the leather made a sucking sound as she peeled herself off. Maybe
she shouldn’t have shucked her panties at that last stop. She hadn’t thought
about peeling herself off the leather seats, only how infernally hot the day
was. Stepping out, she looked both ways before she minced to the opposite side
of the road. The heels of the unfamiliar and recently purchased cowboy boots
and the long drive had made her a bit wobbly.
Blaire lifted her camera, uncovering the lens and holding
the cap in her hand. No dust on the lens, she was glad to see. It wouldn’t have
surprised her at all if there were. She felt like every crevice of her body had
grit in it. Her cute Western outfit might never be the same. She felt wilted
from head to toe. Lining up the arch in her lens, Blaire cursed as she dropped
the lens cap on the ground. One of these days she’d remember to attach it with
the string to the camera itself.
“Damn it!” Bending over from the waist, she picked up the
cap from the ground; after all, it was a good opportunity to do one of her
daily stretches. Blaire tucked it in the pocket on the front of her cute little
denim skirt as she stood, like she should have in the first place.
Lining up the arch once again, Blaire could see that the
dust continued, the drive a little smoother than the road coming in. Shaking
her head, she snapped a picture. Moving around, she tried to capture it from
different angles. She could always delete the ones that didn’t work.
Finishing, Blaire decided she’d had enough of the arch.
There had to be at least one good one. She started back to the car when she
heard a noise and whirled around.
Her breath caught and she instinctively lifted the camera
for a shot. Holy hotness! That was
a real cowboy. Her eyes widened as she looked through the lens, quickly
snapping a picture.
