TWO
TO WRANGLE EXCERPT
Kade had interposed himself between
the animal and the fallen rider, while two others flanked the bull on
either side. Waving and yelling, the three men distracted the
manically bucking animal while the rider scrambled of the danger
zone. He spun and charged Zac who barely dodged a horn. The bull then
froze, stared down the arena and snorted a stream of snot, before
trotting back to the chute leading to the holding pens.
Ty chuckled. “That’s one badass
bull. Least he didn’t wreck.”
“What do you mean wreck?” she
asked.
“A wreck is when bad shit happens,
but it’s inevitable if you ride long enough. Everybody knows that.
At its best, bull riding is beautiful to behold, but when things go
bad, it makes your blood run cold.”
“I still can’t understand why
you did it,” she said.
“Ever heard of an adrenaline
junkie?” Ty asked.
“Of course,” she said. “But I
always picture those as the crazy people who free climb buildings and
cliff faces.”
“Not the same at all,” Ty said.
“I’m not sayin’ you can’t get hurt or even killed climbing
rocks or buildings, but it’s not like the rock is out to get you.
If you mess with a two thousand pound bull, you’re eventually gonna
get the horns. Knowing he can kill you is the ultimate adrenaline
rush.”
“You’ve never struck me as a
thrill seeker, Ty.”
“I’m a different man now than
what I was back then. Part of the change is age and wisdom. Part of
it’s a lifestyle choice. Eight years ago I chose to leave it
behind.”
“Do you miss it?” she asked.
“The adrenaline? The excitement?”
“Sometimes I do,” he admitted.
“The bull arena is purely a male domain. There’s something raw
and primitive about it. There’s not much of that kind of thing left
in our modern world. I guess that’s part of the appeal—for both
the competitors and spectators.”
His words made her think again of
the ancient Roman gladiators.
Ty tilted his head back to the
chutes. “Zac’s up next. Even with a bad wrist, that ol’ geezer
will show you how it’s s’posed to be done.”
“Old geezer? He doesn’t look any
older than you, Ty,” Monica remarked.
“He’s thirty-four, but that
equates to ‘bout a hundred and two in bull rider years. It’s not
the years but the mileage that counts in this game, and Zac’s got a
lot of long hard miles.”
HELL
ON HEELS: Hotel Rodeo #1
Some
Odds are Meant to be Played...
PLACE
YOUR BET
The
Hotel Rodeo in Las Vegas has seen better days, but managing partner
Ty Morgan has come up with a way to return it to its former glory.
His plan looks promising until the unthinkable happens. Suddenly Ty
is working for the boss’s daughter. And Miss Monica Brandt, hot as
she may be, doesn’t share his vision…
ROLL
THE DICE
She
left a fabulous career and a frustrated fiancé in New York to move
to Vegas and save her father’s investment. But now Monica is
locking horns with a sexy cowboy-turned-businessman. What does Ty
think he can do that she can’t? All Monica knows is that she
doesn’t dare trust him—or is it herself she doesn’t trust...

TWO TO WRANGLE: Hotel Rodeo #2
A
COUNTRY BOY
Maybe having a hot and heavy affair with the boss’s daughter wasn’t the smartest move. But country boy Ty Morgan didn’t regret a moment with city girl Monica Brandt…until she left Las Vegas to return to her life in New York. When devastating news sends her running back, Ty can’t help but open his arms. His heart, however, is another matter.

AND
A CITY GIRL
Now that Ty has what he’s always wanted—controlling interest in Hotel Rodeo—Monica is certain their time together is at an end. Then Ty asks her to come on board as a partner. Maybe it’s just her money he needs, but the chance to stick close to the sexy wrangler sure could make work a whole lot more interesting.

BEAUTY
AND THE BULLRIDER: Hotel Rodeo #3
When
Beauty Wants A Baby
Championship
bull breeder and former Texas beauty queen Delaney McCall was having
a heck of a time finding a daddy for the baby she craved. A failed
marriage left her with no desire for another husband, but finding the
right stud to satisfy her needs presents a bigger problem that she
could have imagined.
And
The Bullrider Wants Beauty
After
hanging up his spurs, bull rider Zac McDaniel wants nothing more than
to fulfill Delaney's dream of having a family. After all, his best
friend's ex has been his fantasy for years. Zac, however, has no
desire to be seen as just a means to an end. And when Zac insists on
doing things the "old fashioned" way, their passion
explodes like a bull out of the chute…
Some
Bucking Is Bound To Happen
While
insisting it's all just a passing fancy, the more Delaney sees the
softer side of the rough and tumble cowboy, the harder it is to keep
her emotions corralled. Zac, meanwhile, is more determined than ever
to prove he's what she really needs, and will do whatever it takes to
tear down the mile high fence around her heart…
