Wind River Wrangler

GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
BLURB:
From the moment Roan
Taggart picked up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole airport, his training
and experience told him she was spooked. She’s left New York City to visit the
Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as he can pick up a
horse’s mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body. And that
vulnerability is triggering all his protective instincts . . .
Shiloh Gallagher
likes the gray-eyed cowboy’s dry humor—and the Special Forces background that
lends him a stoic, powerful presence. But she’s been scarred by trauma and her
mother’s murder . . . and knows a strong man can be dangerous. She came to
wide-open Wyoming to flee a threat that’s left her unable to write her novels.
Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated cabin, she’s
slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west, and they won’t
have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past . . .
Excerpt:
“Doesn’t it bother you that I’m
leaving in a month? It bothers the hell out of me.”
“Sure it does, but I don’t see it as
the end of anything. It’s just distance,” he said. “There are airplanes. You
could come out here for a visit.”
“Or you could fly in and visit me?”
She saw him grimace, understanding he didn’t like big cities.
“I would,” he said, holding her
gaze.
She felt his words in her heart,
which was opening widely to him. “I believe you. I can’t promise you where this
will go, Roan.”
“I’m not asking that of you. All I
need to know is that you’re not going to let fear stop you from exploring me,
finding out who I am. Discovering what we may have together.”
Giving him a wry look, Shiloh said,
“I think you’re forcing me to look at myself, what I want, who I am.”
“Good relationships always do that
for both people, Darlin’. It’s just a natural progression between them. It can
bring out self-awareness. It’s not easy. But it’s rewarding. None of us were
born to live alone or be alone. It’s natural to evolve into relationships, whether
it’s in business, friendship, or on a more intimate and personal level.”
Shiloh stood up. “Then,” she said in
a low voice, holding his eyes, “I want to know you, Roan. All of you.”
He stood and held her softened gaze.
Slipping his hand into hers, he dug into her wide green eyes. “And I’ve been
wanting to know you ever since I laid eyes on you for the first time at the
airport, Shiloh.”
