As a spirit, though, all she hopes for is to help him find the woman who can help heal him.<br /> <br /> Brought together by the guiding hand of a matchmaking ghost, Christy and Mike must face their inner demons. In the process they find solace in each other as lust blazes and hearts unite. <br /> <br /> But they learn love and passion aren't always enough to see them through the darkness of their pasts. They must find the courage to persevere.<br /> <br /> == Reviews==<br /> * ''&quot;I loved this book. Absolutely loved it. Michael was so scarred and sad, and like Chailali, I despaired of him ever taking the chance and allowing himself to be loved like he deserved. Christy’s characterization was so realistic I could feel the anxiety she felt at times and I just wanted to hug her. All in all, Chailali’s Curse was a great read with lots of emotion and chemistry. Anna Leigh Keaton should be proud of this one! &quot;'' -- 5 Angels - Fallen Angel Reviews<br /> <br /> * ''&quot;The love and pain between Mike and Christy is a tangible force. Christy just bursts with emotion, which makes her character so vivid. Her panic attacks as well as her passion would set anyone’s heart racing. Mike makes you want to hold and comfort him. His pain both physically and emotionally comes through perfectly with every word. Ms. Keaton pairs their strengths and weaknesses so well they make a fantastic couple. She takes you on that amazing roller coaster ride of emotion right along with her characters.&quot;'' -- 4 Steaming Cups - Coffee Time Romance<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Excerpt==<br /> <br /> “Come on, sis. You know this is what you need to do.”<br /> <br /> Christy Smythe stared at the three-story monstrosity set on a cliff overlooking the rocky shores of Moonlight Cove, Oregon. “I don’t know...”<br /> <br /> Beth sighed and shoved her door open. The wind grabbed it and banged it shut once more. Christy took it as a sign she shouldn’t go in. <br /> <br /> What a perfect setting for a horror movie. The cedar siding was old and faded to gray, perfectly matching the angry sky overhead. The porch looked as if it might fall off if they stepped onto it.<br /> <br /> “Okay, sis,” Beth said with a sigh. “I didn’t want to get this way, but you’ve forced my hand.”<br /> <br /> Christy turned toward her sister with a frown. “What are you talking about?”<br /> <br /> “You can’t come home with me.”<br /> <br /> Christy’s mouth dropped open on a gasp. “You’re kicking me out?”<br /> <br /> Beth nodded. “You’re thirty-five years old, and it’s time you...”<br /> <br /> Tears burned Christy’s eyes and made her nose itch.<br /> <br /> “I love you, Chris, but you’re not going to hide in our house any longer. Roger agrees with me on this.”<br /> <br /> Beth’s husband, Roger, had been so sweet when she went to live with them. He’d always been sweet. Treated her like a real little sister. “I can’t believe you’d do this,” she said, her voice little more than a strained whisper. “What if it doesn’t work out here? What if... What if he fires me or something? Then where am I supposed to go? The doctors—”<br /> <br /> “The doctors say the next step in your recovery is to get your butt back out in the real world. It’s been almost two years, Christy! It’s time to move on. Get over it.”<br /> <br /> Christy flinched. Her sister acted as if she didn’t try to move on. She did. <br /> <br /> Beth reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a pill bottle. “These are anxiety pills from Doctor Mackey.”<br /> <br /> She opened her mouth to argue about taking drugs, but Beth cut her off.<br /> <br /> “I know you don’t like the way they make you feel, but you have to do something. You cannot—will not—be welcome back into our house until you’ve straightened yourself out.” She pressed the pill bottle into Christy’s hand. “I love you, sis. You know that. But Roger and I agree that it’s time for some tough love.”<br /> <br /> The pain and betrayal cut Christy to the quick. She stared at her sister, feeling as though she didn’t know the woman anymore. “So you banish me to this little town and thrust me on some poor blind guy. Thanks, sis. Appreciate the help.” She turned and fumbled for the door handle of the car.<br /> <br /> “Chris—”<br /> <br /> She threw the door open. “It’s fine. Just fine.” Tears blurred her vision as she hauled her overnight bag from the back seat. “I get it.”<br /> <br /> Beth climbed out of the car and popped the trunk to remove Christy’s suitcase. The wind tugged at Christy’s hair, whipping it in her face then brushing it back. The clouds were low, steel gray, and the air smelled of rain. This place was nothing like L.A. All she could hear was the wind and the crashing sea beyond the cliff. No car horns. None of the ever-present buzz of the city.<br /> <br /> “You’ll like it here,” Beth said as she headed up the steps to the wide, southern-style wraparound porch. “Roger and I had a wonderful vacation up here last summer. It’s so peaceful.”<br /> <br /> “Then you stay here,” Christy muttered as she hefted her duffle bag over her shoulder and trudged across the crushed seashell driveway to the house. It was cold and damp and... And damn it, she was terrified to be away from her sister. Why had she agreed to this trip? To this job? How was she going to survive without Beth and Roger? They’d been her rock, her support, for the past eighteen months, and now they were tossing her out in the cold—literally.<br /> <br /> Beth pressed the doorbell then opened the door and walked right in as if she owned the place. “Come on. If he’s working, he ignores everything.”<br /> <br /> Christy followed Beth into the house. It wasn’t what she’d expected. For an award-winning, bestselling author who made more with one sale of a book than she’d made in her entire life managing restaurants, the place was rather...<br /> <br /> “See what I mean,” Beth said as she set the suitcase down and shut the door behind her. “He needs some help around here. Then again, I guess it doesn’t matter what your house looks like if you can’t see it.”<br /> <br /> Thick layers of dust coated every surface except for the leather sofa. In the living room area off to one side of the entryway, boxes were stacked practically to the ceiling against one wall.<br /> <br /> “His books,” Beth said as she grabbed Christy’s hand and pulled her deeper into the house. “He’s never unpacked them. But come on, you’ll love the kitchen.”<br /> <br /> Christy let her sister drag her down a short hall and through a doorway into what had once been a beautiful space. Under the dirt, grime and dust, the counters were marble and the floor Spanish tile. The fridge was stainless steel, and so were the other appliances.<br /> <br /> “Isn’t this awesome? Aren’t you going to have fun in here?”<br /> <br /> Fun. Cleaning this place would take a week. <br /> <br /> Beth dragged her to the far end where a small table sat piled with ancient papers. “Look out there.”<br /> <br /> Christy glanced up from a ten-year-old phone bill to look out the bay window. Her breath caught, and she stepped back in surprise. There was no ground below the window, just air. Three hundred feet below, the waves crashed against the rocks, the ocean as gray and dark as the clouds above.<br /> <br /> “Isn’t this amazing? Roger and I are looking for a vacation home in the area, but there’s not much available.”<br /> <br /> To the south, walls of rock blocked the tide, the cliffs climbing even higher than where the house stood. To the north, the land sloped down to a wide, weathered beach. Moonlight Cove. She’d only caught a glimpse of the town as they drove through. It was pretty in a very unremarkable way.<br /> <br /> “Where’s the guy?” Christy asked. She didn’t know what else to say. Yes, it was pretty. Yes, she supposed this would make a nice vacation spot. But she wasn’t on vacation. Her dear sister was dumping her here for an undetermined amount of time to play housekeeper and cook to a total stranger.<br /> <br /> Well, he was a stranger to her. Beth had been his agent for over five years, and she made a trip up here every three months to collect a manuscript from him because he was too...too something to put it in the mail like a normal person. A rich snob, she assumed, since he paid all Beth’s expenses for her time and effort. Hell, Beth got rich off the fifteen percent she got from every book from this guy. She could easily retire and handle only his manuscripts.<br /> <br /> Beth grabbed her hand again and tugged her out of the kitchen and back to the hall. “His office is down here. He’s probably working.”<br /> <br /> “Isn’t it rather unsafe that a blind guy leaves his door unlocked and then ignores when someone comes in?”<br /> <br /> Beth shrugged. “It’s little-town life, sis. Everyone knows everyone, and his only visitors are the mailman and the delivery guys who bring his groceries and stuff.”<br /> <br /> Beth stopped in front of an open door. Inside was nothing but a wide desk and an empty leather executive chair sitting in front of a window. On the desk were a computer, printer, and a stack of papers.<br /> <br /> “Hmm.” Beth pulled her farther down the hall. “Mike?” she called. “Hey, Mike. Where the heck are you?”<br /> <br /> The clang of metal on metal came from somewhere upstairs. Beth headed for the narrow staircase at the end of the hall, dragging Christy behind her. “He must be in the workout room. He lifts weights when he gets writer’s block.”<br /> <br /> They climbed up the first flight of creaky, wooden stairs and veered off down another long hallway. It was dark, with only the dim light from windows filtering into the hall from the open doorways of mostly empty rooms.<br /> <br /> “Mike?”<br /> <br /> Another clank of metal. “Beth? That you?”<br /> <br /> The man’s voice was deep and rich. <br /> <br /> “Hey,” Beth said, stopping in front of an open door at the end of the hall. “How you doin’?”<br /> <br /> Christy peered around her sister at the man seated on a weight bench. Her breath lodged in her throat, nearly choking her. His wide shoulders, bare stomach and chest looked like a Greek statue, while the left side of his face was something akin to a Frankenstein monster.<br /> <br /> Mike grabbed the towel from the vinyl bench and swiped it over his face and chest. “Hey, Beth. I didn’t expect you until later today.”<br /> <br /> “Mmm hmm. I see that. You’re looking mighty fine, Mr. Horton.”<br /> <br /> He chuckled. “As you can tell, the new book isn’t coming along too well.” He fumbled for his cane on the floor and used it to lever himself up. “Let’s head downstairs so I can get a shirt on.”<br /> <br /> Mike heard a faint gasp that didn’t sound like Beth. He tipped his head to the side and tried to make out the shape in the doorway but could only see one silhouette. “Someone with you?”<br /> <br /> “My sister. She’s agreed to be your new housekeeper and cook. Say hello to Mike Horton, Christy.”<br /> <br /> The smile left Mike, and he clenched his jaw. Damn his meddling agent. He told her he didn’t need her to find him another housekeeper. The four he’d been through over the last two years were enough to prove it wouldn’t work out. He was perfectly able to take care of himself. Frankly, he didn’t want anyone hanging around him and his house.<br /> <br /> “Now, Mike...”<br /> <br /> “No offence to your sister, but I don’t need a housekeeper.”<br /> <br /> A soft chuckle he knew wasn’t Beth’s came from the doorway. Beth had a hardy, robust laugh, not a soft, feminine...anything.<br /> <br /> “She’s an award-winning chef, and she can clean like no one’s business. And yes, you do need a housekeeper.” He heard footsteps approaching him, and he steeled himself, focusing on the shadow moving toward him. A finger poked him in the stomach, making him jump. “I think you could use a few good meals. Christy’s cooking can make a grown man weep—I know, I’ve witnessed it.” <br /> <br /> Beth’s husky chuckle made him shake his head. He dropped his voice, wondering where the mysterious sister stood. Still in the doorway? “I don’t like people in my house, and you know that.”</div>

Starving, she struggles for survival even as she gives up all hope of ever finding the man of her dreams.<br /> <br /> After years spent conducting search and rescue missions for the Cooper Valley Fire Department, Jamie Roberts is resolved to a life as a bachelor with is partner—his only female companion—a gentle wolfhound named Pixie. But that was before a missing woman stumbles across his campsite...and straight into his heart.<br /> <br /> == Reviews ==<br /> ''The author successfully pulls off the ‘damsel in distress’ storyline and makes it believable, and her heroine completely tosses aside any wimpy stereotypes about distressing damsels! Carla and Jamie are both commanding and in charge professionally, but their previous lovers have left them with insecurities about their ages and sex appeal. I loved seeing them bring their dominant personalities to their encounters, and bury the doubts their younger, less knowledgeable lovers had left. This is a hot and steamy romance that gives new meaning to the phrase older IS better!'' - * 4 Blue Ribbons - Romance Junkies<br /> <br /> ''Getting lost in the woods sounds like a great idea if all of the rescuers could be like Jamie. He is the epitome of a knight in shining armor, mature, gorgeous, and a truly good person. You can tell a good man by how he treats his dog, and Pixie is truly loved. Carla may think she is too old for love, but with Jamie that is no longer true. She is not about to let the “one” get away without a fight, so she goes for it. I loved every page. It is great to read a hot and sexy love story with two mature adults. Love just gets better with age.''<br /> * 4 Steaming Cups - Coffee Time Romance<br /> <br /> == Teaser ==<br /> <br /> Carla could not sleep. The sunburn kept her skin at the temperature of broil. And between the hard, male body on one side, and the big, bristly furred dog on her other, she didn’t think slumber would ever take over, even though she was exhausted.<br /> <br /> The pills Jamie had given her with supper had helped alleviate the pain in her ankle, and the aloe gel he’d rubbed into her shoulders helped the burn.<br /> <br /> But, oh, good Lord, when he’d touched her to rub in that stuff... She hurt all over and should not be thinking this way, but she wanted him. Wanted to roll over and straddle those narrow hips, plant her hands against his incredible pecs, and ride him in a way she’d never ridden a man before.<br /> <br /> He was big, and strong, and gentle and...and he’d cooked her supper. She was even starting to like the beast he called a dog. He made her laugh. It had been a long time since anyone teased her. Not since her brother died nearly ten years earlier.<br /> <br /> His dog even seemed to tease her, seemingly finding it hilarious that it scared the hell out of her.<br /> <br /> This man she happened upon in the middle of nowhere treated her better than Jeff ever had, and they’d been together for three years. This man shared his food with a stranger because Jeff had abandoned her out here.<br /> <br /> Was Jeff even looking for her? Called out search and rescue? She seriously doubted it. What a total fool she’d been.<br /> <br /> Jamie rolled onto his side and threw a heavy arm over her middle. She gasped at the electrical wave of lust that coursed through her at the innocent touch. This was definitely not the time for her libido to kick in. Jeff accused her of being an ice queen, said it took too much effort to get her warmed up. She was warm now. Sizzling hot. And it had nothing to do with her sunburn, either.<br /> <br /> She wanted to turn into Jamie and bury her face against his chest. He smelled so good. Masculine. He’d bathed in the stream before bed, and his scent was fresh and piney. Like the woods themselves.<br /> <br /> Up close he was nothing short of gorgeous. His eyes were dark, dark green, his skin smooth and deeply tan. She couldn’t figure out his nationality, but she’d bet there was some Native American in him. Maybe East Asian. Whatever it was...<br /> <br /> She sighed and tried to shut off her brain.<br /> <br /> Pixie snored. Loudly. Right in her ear.<br /> <br /> Carla reached out and poked the animal in the side. Pixie raised her head and, though Carla couldn’t see her eyes in the dark confines of the too-small tent, she’d bet the dog glared at her.<br /> <br /> At her movement, Jamie’s arm curled around her, his hand splaying wide on her side, sucking all breath from her. Oh, Lord, she’d never survive the night. Why couldn’t he have had his hand in a more productive spot?</div>

After barging into her place wearing nothing but leopard-print underwear to save her from a would-be attacker, he might just get his chance with her.<br /> <br /> Ever since her good-for-nothing husband ran off with a woman half her age, Celeste Kolowski emotionally shut down. But now, sexier-than-sin Paul from upstairs offers the one thing she's craving—a night of passion. He's too young, too handsome, too experienced, and her adult daughters have a crush on him. So why does her heart tell her to jump in and see what happens anyway?<br /> <br /> == Teaser ==<br /> <br /> “I’m too old to get laid.” With that pronouncement, she stood up, picked up her mug, and moved into the kitchen.<br /> <br /> “Wait a second.” He shoved up off the couch and followed her. “What exactly do you mean by that?” She was a vibrant woman, and he’d wanted to have sex with her for the last five years. Sure, she was a little older than him, but damn, she was fucking hot.<br /> <br /> After setting her cup in the sink, she tugged her lapels closer together and crossed her arms over her chest. She met his gaze straight on when she said, “It’s been eight years since my husband of twenty years left me for a girl barely older than our daughters. Sometimes I get lonely. I thought I could just have some casual sex and a little companionship for a night. But once he was here, this...this stranger, I couldn’t do it.”<br /> <br /> Paul’s heart melted. Completely. A puddle in his chest. But he didn’t expect the words that came out of his mouth. “If that’s what you wanted, you could have come upstairs anytime.”<br /> <br /> Celeste’s mouth dropped open, but then she snapped it shut so fast her teeth clicked. “Excuse me?”<br /> <br /> Open mouth. Insert foot. Well, now that he’d started it, he might as well finish it. “I’ve thought about you. I’ve thought about having sex with you. A lot.”<br /> <br /> “Oh, for crying out—” She shook her head. “You have young, gorgeous women in and out of your place constantly. As if you’d sit around thinking about your much older neighbor in a romantic way.”<br /> <br /> He did think about her in a romantic way. Constantly. And... He scowled. “I haven’t had a woman in my apartment in several months.”<br /> <br /> She tipped her head to the side, and the smile she gave was fake and...condescending. “Come on now, Paul. These apartments aren’t exactly soundproof. I know you have a healthy sex life.”<br /> <br /> “And because of the lack of soundproofing, I know you fly solo way too often.”<br /> <br /> * * * * *<br /> <br /> Celeste’s face went hot. He’d heard her... Oh, Lord. She would not let him know how embarrassed she was. “What are you, some kind of pervert?”<br /> <br /> His left eyebrow rose in censure. He had a point. She’d said she heard him with women. There was no way she’d ever admit to getting turned on when she listened. Sometimes using her vibrator to finish right along with them. Wishing she were that woman under him—over him—getting taken hard and fast from behind. She’d spent hour upon hour fantasizing what Paul would be like in bed. Which was just one more reason to never, ever go there. No way in hell he’d ever live up to her dreams.<br /> <br /> “You’re thinking about it right now, aren’t you?” he asked, stepping closer.<br /> <br /> She shook her head in denial, but breathing became difficult. Her pussy throbbed, and her gaze dropped to that sexy chest and abdomen. Why hadn’t the man put on a shirt?<br /> <br /> “Yes, you are. Did it turn you on to listen to me have sex? Every time I hear your drawer open and the soft buzz of your toy, I get hard as a rock.”<br /> <br /> She really needed to oil that nightstand drawer. It made a horrible screech when opened.<br /> <br /> He stepped up close enough that his musky scent, mixed with the subtle scent of aged leather from his jacket, engulfed her. Her eyelids fluttered as she breathed in with appreciation. The man took care of himself. He was always clean, smelled like sin. And he wore snug, faded jeans that cupped everything just so and made her want to grab him and...take a bite.<br /> <br /> She licked her lips as she watched his rippled abs. She wanted to know what they felt like. So vibrantly alive. She looked up into his dark eyes. The only men she touched were in the ER. Injured, sick... Paul was... Her eyelids fluttered as he stepped even closer, until his chest was right there, and she had to tip her head way back to see into his face.<br /> <br /> “You have thought about it, haven’t you, Celeste?”<br /> <br /> She nodded. Why deny it? He’d know she was lying anyway.<br /> <br /> A small, sexy grin spread over his face, making his eyes sparkle. He leaned forward, and she held her breath, waiting for him to kiss her. Instead, his cheek brushed hers, and his lips tickled her ear when he said, “I’ve thought of coming down here and helping you out some nights.”<br /> <br /> She shivered, his warm breath tickling.<br /> <br /> “I’ve thought of taking that damn vibrator out of your hand and replacing it with my mouth, my tongue.” His tongue flicked out and traced the shell of her ear, yet he touched her nowhere else.<br /> <br /> She bit her lip to keep in a whimper. Her nipples tightened and ached. Her pussy clenched and heated as arousal spiked through her.<br /> <br /> He raised his hands, and she expected him to haul her up against him. Instead, he cupped her cheek with one and the back of her head with the other. So gentle. So...sweet. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. Still touching her cheek with one, his other hand came down to her neck. His skin was just the tiniest bit rough. It felt good. Too good. <br /> <br /> “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. Inside and out. I’ve wanted to be with you since the day you moved in and refused my help. You were so stubborn.” He grinned. “Box after box after box I watched you haul in from your car, but when I tried taking one from you, you almost bit my head off.”<br /> <br /> She dropped her gaze to his chest. She’d been embarrassed then that she found him so attractive. A guy who was at least a decade younger than her. She’d just wanted him to go away and stay away. She’d still been hurting so bad.<br /> <br /> He was still too young. <br /> <br /> “I’m almost forty-seven years old.”<br /> <br /> His smile was soft and sweet. “What’s your point?”<br /> <br /> She knew she should pull away, but his hands were so warm. Being touched was just too nice. It had been so long. She closed her eyes and leaned into his hand. “The point is, there is no point behind this. You should find one of your cute young women and have some fun.” <br /> <br /> Lord, the words hurt to say. She pulled away and brushed passed him, getting out from between him and the counter. She went back to the couch and curled into the corner. “I think you should go. Now.”<br /> <br /> As she stared at her hands folded in her lap, his thighs came into view as he stood over her. Thick, beautiful thighs she’d seen last summer in a pair of shorts, and she’d thought about licking them. She looked up a bit, and there was no mistaking the thick ridge trapped in his jeans. Good Lord, he was long. Her pussy pulsed as if begging. <br /> <br /> Please, please, please, Celee. Let me have him.<br /> <br /> He went down on his knees in front of her. She wanted to touch his chest, dig her fingers into his pecs, learn if those whorls of hair were as silky soft as they looked. Instead, she fisted her hands and looked into his eyes. Mistake. She could drown there. They were as black as night, as deep as the ocean.<br /> <br /> “One kiss,” he said, his voice little more than a whisper. “Let me have one kiss, and if you still want me to go, I will, and we can forget all about this.”<br /> <br /> She wasn’t going to forget. Tonight’s encounter with Paul would fuel her fantasies for months—possibly years—to come. What more harm could one kiss do? She’d always wondered what he’d taste like, since he smelled like heaven.<br /> <br /> Wetting her lips with her tongue, she nodded. “One kiss.”</div>

Suicide seems the only way to end his torture, until he meets a woman who is the epitome of everything good and pure. <br /> <br /> Wendy Schumacher has a good—though lonely—life. When she’s approached by a young, sinfully gorgeous gentleman in a coffee shop, she doubts her judgment because she’s made mistakes before. She lets him into her heart, though, but with him comes the terror of a dark world she never believed existed.<br /> <br /> == Excerpt==<br /> <br /> “Is this seat taken?”<br /> <br /> Her head snapped up at the low, cultured voice with just a hint of foreign accent. The man standing next to her was...the same man with the amazing black eyes, black hair, and incredibly sexy goatee she’d run into outside Dinner and a Date. She got another whiff of his expensive cologne, and her eyelids drooped in appreciation. Now this was a man she’d love to get into her bed. He dressed in an expensive, tailored, double-breasted suit. He was tall, lean, gorgeous, and carried himself with an air of sophistication that made her melt.<br /> <br /> Yeah. Keep dreaming, Wend.<br /> <br /> She waved her hand toward the chair. “It’s free. Help yourself.” She expected him to take the other chair to another table, but instead he pulled it out and sat down. Her lips parted in surprise, and her coffee sloshed onto the table and the back of her hand as she set her mug down with a thud.<br /> <br /> The man reached for the napkin dispenser, withdrew a couple, and dabbed at her hand. “Slippery, aren’t they?” He finished wiping up the spilled latte then neatly folded the napkins into quarters before setting them at the edge of the table.<br /> <br /> She licked her lips, but her brain seemed to have disconnected itself from her tongue. What the hell was wrong with this guy? He was young—couldn’t be over thirty—dashing, debonair, and had just sat down at her table? Was this a joke? Was she on Candid Camera? Trick the middle-aged frump? Was she being Punked?<br /> <br /> She glanced around the almost empty coffee shop. A couple of college students took up two tables, happily clicking away at their laptop keys. Another table held an older couple who talked in subdued tones. Only one guy worked the counter, and a waitress stood off to the side with a bored expression on her face.<br /> <br /> “Can I...um...help you with something?” she finally asked after ungluing her tongue from the roof of her mouth.<br /> <br /> The hunk’s smile was just as sexy as the rest of him, and he held out his hand. He had beautifully straight, white teeth. “Dante Rainaldi. I was passing by on my way down to the wharf and saw you in here. Since we met earlier and hadn’t been properly introduced, I thought it only fitting.”<br /> <br /> Yeahhh...<br /> <br /> She placed her hand in his. Warmth and—oh, dear Lord—lust shot through her. She squeezed her thighs together and bit her bottom lip. He’s so out of your league! Don’t even think about it. She cleared her throat. “Wendy Schumacher. And I’m sorry about earlier.”<br /> <br /> He kept the smile on his lips as he tilted his head slightly. “You seemed to be in a hurry. I was surprised to find you here.”<br /> <br /> The waitress saved her from having to answer the unspoken question as to why she’d been in such a hurry.<br /> <br /> Dante ordered a mocha then turned back to her as the waitress left, seemingly unmoved by the woman’s obvious eyelash batting and flirting techniques. “So,” he said, his voice low and so sexy tingles raced down her spine. “What’s a pretty lady such as yourself doing all alone on a Friday night?”<br /> <br /> He could have done much better than that lame line. Then again, with the slight European accent, even trite come-ons sounded awful sexy.<br /> <br /> She grinned, because if she didn’t she’d probably make a fool of herself by bursting into tears. “Celebrating my birthday.” Shit, it still sounded pathetic.<br /> <br /> His smile faded, and his brow drew together. “Alone?”<br /> <br /> She broke eye contact and looked down at her cinnamon roll. She didn’t want this stranger to know how badly she hurt inside. Candice had really crossed the never-do line tonight. Ditching her on her birthday...that was just plain mean. Especially when Candice could get any guy any night of the week. She didn’t have to choose this night.<br /> <br /> A warm, gentle finger touched her chin, and she jerked in surprise to meet the stranger’s gaze.<br /> <br /> “I am sorry, Wendy. Forgive me if I’ve made you uncomfortable. That was not my intent.”<br /> <br /> He looked so earnest. As if he really...cared.<br /> <br /> She closed her eyes and let out a slow breath. She would not read anything into his kindness. Maybe he’d been ditched, too. Hadn’t he been with a short, stocky fellow when she ran into him?<br /> <br /> “My friend dragged me to this stupid...” She wasn’t going to lay her problems on this poor guy’s doorstep. She licked her lips and tried again. “She thought it would be fun to try out that Dinner and a Date place. Only she got the date, and I didn’t.” She shrugged, hoping it came off as nonchalance. “I just decided to stop in here before going home. How about you? Why are you all alone tonight?”<br /> <br /> Good. Get him talking about himself. Guys loved that.<br /> <br /> “Your friend left you alone on your birthday because of a man?”<br /> <br /> She almost rolled her eyes but caught herself. “Yeah. That’s just the way Candice is. I’ve learned to roll with it.”<br /> <br /> Dante’s eyebrows drew closer together, and his lips turned down in a disapproving frown.<br /> <br /> “It’s okay, really. I’m used to her being a little flaky.”<br /> <br /> The waitress returned and set the coffee in front of him. He nodded his thanks, picked it up, and sipped. With a sigh, he seemed to relax, which made her realize how tense he’d been.<br /> <br /> “I do adore a good cup of coffee,” he said with a small tilt to his sexy lips.<br /> <br /> “Seattle’s the place for it.” She was horrible at small talk and didn’t know what to say next. The mundane usually worked. “Where are you from? Originally, I mean.”<br /> <br /> His smile returned. “I am originally from a small village on the Italian coast near Naples.” He waived his hand in dismissal. “But that seems several lifetimes ago. I am a U.S. citizen and claim Seattle as my home now. You?”<br /> <br /> Why did he keep turning it around to her? She’d rather sit and listen to him speak. “Born and raised right here in Seattle.”<br /> <br /> He sipped his drink and settled more fully into his chair, watching her over the rim of his mug, which made her want to fiddle with something. His gaze was so intense, as if he were looking into her soul. But she couldn’t seem to bring herself to look away, either.<br /> <br /> “You have beautiful hair,” he said in that wonderfully rich voice. “You are much more suited to wearing it down than piled on top of your head.”<br /> <br /> She chuckled. “Tell that to Candice. She’s the one who did that...thing with it.” Shaking her head, she turned her cinnamon roll plate with her fingertips. “I’m much more casual than this normally.”<br /> <br /> He arched one perfect eyebrow. “And what do you call casual?”<br /> <br /> She shrugged. How did she tell a man who wore a suit that cost more than her mortgage payment that she normally wore whatever was most comfortable? She loved her sweatshirts and loose, comfortable jeans. This guy was so far out of her league they might as well not be on the same planet.<br /> <br /> Which again begged the question, what the hell was he doing sitting here with her?<br /> <br /> “My friend told me about that place you went tonight. Did you enjoy it?”<br /> <br /> She scrunched her nose and shook her head. “If I were to take a real cooking class, it wouldn’t be with some woman who only knew how to stir fry vegetables.”<br /> <br /> He chuckled. Goose bumps raised on her arms. <br /> <br /> “Did you meet anyone...interesting?”<br /> <br /> Her humor fled. He was the most interesting person she’d met in ages. With a shake of her head, she lifted her latte. “No. I didn’t.”<br /> <br /> She sipped, but the drink was now cold, and it took supreme effort not to wince. She took another swallow<br /> <br /> “You are single, then?”<br /> <br /> She choked. More coffee sloshed from the mug and out of her mouth.<br /> <br /> Dante was right there with more napkins, first blotting her chin, then her hand.<br /> <br /> Please let me die right now! Right now, God. If you care about me at all! Her cheeks heated with embarrassment as he once again cleaned up the table.<br /> <br /> “Your coffee is cold. Let me get you another.”<br /> <br /> Before she could respond, he had her mug and was walking up to the counter. She had the urge to make a run for it while his back was turned. She could get out the door and down a block before he ever knew she was gone. He’d never find her.<br /> <br /> Leaning against the counter with a sophisticated nonchalance she could only dream of possessing, he turned and winked at her.<br /> <br /> Good Lord, the man was lethal. When he stuck his hand in his slacks, his jacket lifted just enough for her to get a great view of his ass. His perfect, round, tight buns. She licked her lips, hoping she didn’t salivate</div>

From boyfriends who steal her credit cards to a job she loathes, her life pretty much sucks. And since his wife died two years earlier, he’s lived the life of a monk. <br /> <br /> But when he finds her asleep on his couch, gorgeously seductive in a maid’s uniform, his desires aren’t so sweet. A shared piece of candy turns into a night of passion, until morning’s light intrudes. Now they must decide if they have the courage to look beyond their past hurts and grasp the love they so desperately crave.<br /> <br /> == Excerpt==<br /> <br /> He frowned at her. What he wanted was for her to leave. Though, she looked awfully...lost. He figured if he called security, she’d lose her job. He moved away from the sofa and went into his bedroom, turning on the light as he went. The bed was made, a small, white box sitting between the pillows. Then he checked the bathroom. Everything was in its place and clean. She was a sufficient enough maid. Did she deserve to lose her job over this?<br /> <br /> When he came back into the sitting room, half expecting her to have taken her cart and run while he was in the bedroom, she still sat on the sofa. Only now she sat up straight, her expression one of resignation, not fear, and her hands were primly folded in her lap.<br /> <br /> “Have you ever fallen asleep on the job before?”<br /> <br /> Her smooth brow pulled together for a brief moment before she shook her head. “No, sir. This is the first time.”<br /> <br /> She was definitely pretty. Her skin was smooth and flawless, pale and creamy. He’d place her age in the mid twenties. She did have some hefty purple smudges beneath her eyes, though. Those big, baby blues glittered in the low lamplight, and her lips were full and pink. She wore no makeup that he could tell.<br /> <br /> “Why...” He noticed her shoes on the floor at the end of the couch. The woman really made herself at home, hadn’t she? He raised an eyebrow at her. “You couldn’t find an empty room to nap in?”<br /> <br /> The woman—Sharon, he read on her nametag again—stood up and reached for her shoes. As she did so, her A-line, drab gray uniform skirt pulled tight across her perfectly rounded ass.<br /> <br /> Chet rocked back on his heels and shoved his hands back in his pockets. It’d been a long time since he thought about a woman’s ass. Since the telltale tingling of arousal pulsed through his veins.<br /> <br /> When the pretty blonde stood up and faced him, shoes now in place on her feet, she held out her hands as if imploring him not to condemn her. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Sterling,” she said once again. “It was a mistake.” She dropped her hands and shook her head. “I’ll go now. My name’s Sharon Brock if you want to report me.” She picked up the heart-shaped box with the one chocolate left in it. When she moved toward the door, he reached out and grabbed the candy from the box.<br /> <br /> “Hey—”<br /> <br /> He didn’t know what possessed him to do it, but he bit into it while he held her gaze, daring her to tell him not to eat it. She was in his room after all, and he had no intention of reporting her. He figured she’d probably have enough to account for by showing up with a maid’s cart after six in the evening. Hell, she was the most excitement he’d had in ages.<br /> <br /> Sweet, cherry-flavored syrup squirted into his mouth as he bit through the almost bitter, dark chocolate. He couldn’t even remember when he’d last had chocolate candy, and this one was... He moaned and closed his eyes as he put the rest of it in his mouth and slowly chewed. Scrumptious. Decadent.<br /> <br /> When he opened his eyes, Sharon stared at him, her lips slightly parted in what looked like surprise. “Good chocolate,” he offered then licked his lips.<br /> <br /> Sharon couldn’t take her eyes off the man. He was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen, and watching him eat her last piece of candy—God, he was...sensual. He was way older than anyone she’d ever found herself attracted to—probably in his mid to late forties—but everything about him was...beautiful.<br /> <br /> He was over six feet tall, his black hair sprinkled with white at the temples, and his rugged face gave off an air of sophistication she found intriguing. But most of all, he didn’t look at her as if she were nothing but misbehaving, hired help. He met her gaze straight on with eyes the same color as the dark chocolate he’d just eaten.<br /> <br /> She shook her head and tore her gaze from him. No damn men! What’s wrong with you, you dummy? Just stop it. “If you’ll excuse me,” she said as she headed across the room. “I have to get this...” She walked around the cart to the door, grabbing the handle as she went. “...downstairs before they miss it.”<br /> <br /> “Wait,” Mr. Sterling said as he came toward her.<br /> <br /> Damn. He was going to report her. She thought maybe he wouldn’t, especially after he took her last piece of candy and had given her that mischievous look, but it was too good to be true. She was screwed. Jobless and screwed, and definitely not in a good way. What would she do now? She could go back to the SleepyTime Motel, she supposed, but ugh. She wasn’t sure she could work with Peter since their breakup.<br /> <br /> “What are you doing tonight?”<br /> <br /> She stopped halfway out the door, the cart separating them. “What?” She must have heard him wrong.<br /> <br /> “Um...” He shoved his hands in the pockets of his slacks—his suit probably cost more than she made in a month. “Is there a Mr. Brock?”<br /> <br /> Her eyebrows shot up. “Are you asking me out?” On Valentine’s Day? Was he nuts? Was he married? “It’s against hotel policy for us to socialize. I could lose my job...”<br /> <br /> Mr. Sterling shrugged. “I guess that’s kind of up to me, now isn’t it? Have dinner with me, and we can have a little secret between us.”<br /> <br /> The words should have seemed creepy, but the endearing smile on his face, accompanied by those gorgeous, bedroom eyes, made her insides melt. She leaned over the cart. “You won’t tell anyone I fell asleep in here if I have dinner with you?”<br /> <br /> He shook his head. “Just dinner. As long as you’re free, that is. I don’t do...If you’re attached or already have plans...”<br /> <br /> Sharon shook her head, the tight knot in her gut loosening. She wouldn’t lose her job, and she wouldn’t be alone on February fourteenth. “I’d love to have dinner with you.” Did that sound needy? She cringed. “I mean. Let me turn in this cart and change my clothes, and then I’ll—You’re not married, are you?” Better be safe than sorry. With her penchant for losers, the last thing she needed was a married guy—even for a measly dinner. That was one place she’d never gone and didn’t want to start now.<br /> <br /> His smile slipped, and sadness clouded his eyes. He stepped back from the other side of the cart. “I’m single. Widower, actually. I just thought...” He turned away and ran a hand through his hair, mussing the top. “I’m sorry. That was out of line. I’m not going to turn you in for sleeping in here. You should go.”<br /> <br /> Sharon’s heart tipped up on its side. The poor man. He was all alone. He just wanted to have dinner with someone so he wasn’t by himself. How could she tell him no? “Um. It’ll take me a bit to change and stuff—to explain why I’m turning this cart in so late. If you want to go somewhere for coffee or something, I’ll be on the corner of Second and Louisiana in about a half hour.”<br /> <br /> He turned around and looked at her, but she saw that he’d already made up his mind. He wasn’t going anywhere with her.<br /> <br /> “If not, thank you, Mr. Sterling, for not turning me in.” She backed the cart the rest of the way through the door and watched it close on silent hinges before it clicked shut.</div>

He was very handsome. She hadn't been this close to a Native American in her life. She liked his neck-his Adam's apple as it bobbed slightly when he spoke. She wanted to lick it. To see if his skin tasted as spicy as he smelled. <br /> <br /> &quot;Penny. The dishes?&quot; <br /> <br /> With a gasp, she looked away from him and pointed to the cupboard over the counter where the everyday plates and bowls were stored. Her cheeks burned. She should not be thinking about tasting these men. She closed her eyes to get herself on track. They were gentleman who wanted to make sure she was all right. That was all. Nothing more. Just because she'd been having very naughty thoughts about them-both of them-ever since earlier when she'd been so forward as to kiss them- <br /> <br /> &quot;What's wrong, Penny?&quot; Blake asked as stepped closer and he laid a big, warm hand on her shoulder. <br /> <br /> She could melt. She would melt. Even the innocent touch was welcomed. It had been so long since... She wanted to turn into him. Ask him to hold her the way he had at the firehouse earlier. Only this time, she didn't want him to let her go. Blake's scent was musky and smooth. But then another scent mixed with it, and she knew Joseph stood in front of her, even though she had her eyes closed and couldn't see him. He was spicy and rich. Sandalwood and cinnamon. Heat radiated off their bodies and into her. <br /> <br /> A finger touched her chin and gently tipped her head back. She kept her eyes shut as her mind ran into the dark, dangerous, forbidden territory where her fantasies had gone the other night when they both lay with her in bed. <br /> <br /> &quot;Look at me, sweetheart,&quot; Joseph said, his voice low and silky smooth. <br /> <br /> A shiver ran down her arms. She didn't want to open her eyes, to see him looking at her as if she'd gone mental. She didn't want to break the lovely spell their touch and her imagination wove. What was so wrong with staying in this fantasy just a little longer? <br /> <br /> &quot;Open your eyes,&quot; Blake whispered in her ear as his body moved closer to hers, and his chest brushed against her shoulder blades. &quot;We need to see those lovely eyes.&quot; <br /> <br /> Joseph's finger trailed from her chin, along her jaw, up to her ear, and then his slightly rough palm smoothed over her cheek. It was the gentlest, sweetest caress she could ever remember experiencing. She leaned into his hand and slowly, so afraid they'd disappear, opened her eyes. <br /> <br /> They hadn't disappeared. Joseph stood in front of her, so tall and dark, his black eyes searching her, as if looking deep into her soul. Did he know how bad she was? Did he know all her secret desires? Would they repulse him? <br /> <br /> Blake's hand coasted from her shoulder to her elbow to her hand. He wrapped his fingers around hers, then took hold of her other hand in the same way, threading their fingers together. Then he pulled her arms behind her back. <br /> <br /> She gasped as the motion thrust her chest out and against Joseph's chest. Her eyelids grew heavy as her breathing sped up. Her cheeks felt as if they were on fire from embarrassment, but she could do nothing to hide from them. From Joseph's deep, penetrating stare. <br /> <br /> The aroma of herbs and spices mingled with their masculine scents, but food was the last thing on her mind. <br /> <br /> &quot;Do you know what we are, Penelope?&quot; Blake asked. His voice was a soft, gravelly seduction in her ear. <br /> <br /> &quot;F-firefighters?&quot; she asked. <br /> <br /> The corner of Joseph's lips twitched, as if he was suppressing a smile. &quot;Yes, sweetheart. But we are also members of Incognito.&quot; <br /> <br /> Her lips parted in surprise. Alarm stirred in her stomach. Were they here to punish her for- <br /> <br /> Joseph's gaze never wavered. &quot;You said you snuck in to see what it was. What did you see?&quot; <br /> <br /> What she'd seen had both horrified and tantalized her. Though disgust was what she'd expressed when she'd been caught. &quot;Nakedness.&quot; <br /> <br /> Joseph's left eyebrow raised, and this time the slight curve on his sensual lips spread into a real smile. &quot;Anything else?&quot; <br /> <br /> The light caress of Blake's thumbs along the undersides of her wrists was a distraction, but she focused on Joseph's words and the feel of his big palm against her cheek. &quot;Sex,&quot; she whispered. <br /> <br /> &quot;You saw sex?&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes. A man with two women.&quot; She remembered it so clearly. He was on his back on a padded table. One woman had been kneeling over his face, the other over his groin. Both women had been writhing and moaning with pleasure. <br /> <br /> &quot;And what did you think when you saw that?&quot; Blake asked. <br /> <br /> She'd wished she'd experienced such pleasure before to moan that loudly. Rather than admitting the truth, she licked her lips and shrugged. &quot;I'd never seen anything like it before. I was...surprised.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;And tantalized?&quot; Joseph asked softly as he leaned down closer to her, until she could feel his warm breath against her cheek. <br /> <br /> She wanted to shake her head in denial, but she knew Joseph would know she lied. <br /> <br /> &quot;Did it excite you?&quot; Blake asked. <br /> <br /> She nodded. <br /> <br /> &quot;Did you wonder what it would be like to be one of those women?&quot; Joseph asked. <br /> <br /> She nodded again. <br /> <br /> Blake ran his hands up her arms to her elbows and gripped them, pulling them back farther, thrusting her chest harder against Joseph. &quot;What was it that excited you the most?&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;The freedom,&quot; she admitted, not realizing the truth until she heard the word escape her lips. <br /> <br /> Joseph raised his other hand to her neck and caressed her thundering pulse point. &quot;Freedom?&quot; <br /> <br /> She licked her lips, afraid to voice her true feelings. Afraid... Always afraid. She'd lived in fear her entire life. If she couldn't be honest with Joseph and Blake, who then? Who would listen to her? There was no one else. <br /> <br /> &quot;It's okay,&quot; Blake said as his thumbs caressed the inside of her elbows. His grip on her arms was tight, yet not painful. She liked it. A lot. Loved being sandwiched between these two big, strong, virile men. &quot;We're not here to judge. We need to know you, though. Know what's in your mind. If you don't tell us...we'll have to leave.&quot; <br /> <br /> No. She didn't want them to leave. &quot;They just seemed so uninhibited,&quot; she rushed to say. &quot;They were free to explore sexual excesses without worrying about what others around them thought or did. I mean, I saw them. They were in a room full of people, and no one else batted an eyelash at them.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Do you want to be uninhibited, Penny?&quot; Joseph asked. &quot;Do you want to explore sexual excess?&quot; <br /> <br /> Yes, her mind screamed.</div>

Blake met Joe’s eyes over the top of Penelope’s head and saw the need—the hunger—in his best friend’s face, which had to mirror his own. <br /> <br /> Five years without a man. Half a decade without her husband’s intimate touch. No wonder her body shook. Her excitement was so palpable—her arousal, unmasked. <br /> <br /> She’d given them permission to take her. To use her. But he doubted she truly knew what they wanted long term. Was it too soon to tell her? Would she understand the depth of their need? He doubted it. But they’d cross that bridge when they came to it. For now, they’d give her a few orgasms and take care of her physical needs, even sate themselves in her beautiful body. <br /> <br /> What would come beyond that? They’d have to wait and see.<br /> <br /> Joe gave a slight nod, and Blake knew they shared the same thoughts. They’d known each other long enough to be able to read each other, especially when it came to women. Blake nodded in return, stepped back, and lifted Penny into his arms.<br /> <br /> She gave a little yelp and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was such a tiny thing and weighed almost nothing.<br /> <br /> “You’re sure you want us to touch you, to fuck you?” he asked, using that word on purpose. He didn’t want there to be any question about whether or not she understood what they intended to do. He carried her through the house to the stairs that would take them up to her lavish bedroom.<br /> <br /> Her lips parted slightly, and her eyes widened.<br /> <br /> “Is that what you want?” He stopped walking. If she’d misinterpreted anything they’d said...<br /> <br /> Slowly, her mouth formed the word, and she whispered, “Fuck,” as if she’d never uttered such a filthy thing before.<br /> <br /> Blake forced himself not to laugh. “Yes, darlin’. We want to fuck you. To sink our cocks into your tight little cunt and make you scream with ecstasy.”<br /> <br /> Her face turned bright red, but she never broke eye contact. He had to give her credit for that.<br /> <br /> “But not before,” Joe said, “we taste every part of you.”<br /> <br /> She gasped. Then she did glance away, but only to look over his shoulder at Joe, who stood behind him. <br /> <br /> Blake didn’t move. She had yet to answer the question.<br /> <br /> “Are you sure it’s what you want?” he asked, drawing her gaze back to him. “Our mouths on your body? Our cocks inside you, fucking you hard, making you scream?”<br /> <br /> Slowly, she nodded. Then she swallowed, hard. “Yes.” The word was little more than a whisper. “I want…all of that.”<br /> <br /> Her little body vibrated in his arms. There was no denying she was aroused. He grinned. “You have to say it, darlin’. Say you want us to fuck you.”<br /> <br /> She glanced at Joe then back at him. Her cheeks were so red he was surprised they didn’t burst into flames. But her eye contact was direct, and she showed no sign of fear or unease. Only excitement.<br /> <br /> “I want you to...” Her voice started out strong, but dropped to a barely audible whisper. She leaned in close to his ear. “...fuck me.”</div>

Now, with his cousin, Alex, Incognito's security specialist, he makes his move.<br /> <br /> With two Doms to care for her, two who know exactly what she needs, they can assure her safety and help her find the strength to give love a chance.<br /> ==Reviews==<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Madison Layle and Anna Leigh Keaton give readers a thrill with CONQUERING CONNIE, the latest addition to their INCOGNITO series. I might as well warn you now, this story packs an emotional wallop as you ‘watch’ Connie go from playful and teasing to depressed and unsure of herself. Tyrone and Alex are strong, determined men who know what they want and aren’t afraid to go the extra mile to ensure Connie’s happiness and well being. I love the emotional connection between the characters that was present even before Master Randy’s death, but afterwards, it’s positively intense. <br /> <br /> As with all the books in this series, CONQUERING CONNIE leaves you hungering for the next addition to this series. The ending is dramatic to say the least and there’s a new addition to the patrons of the club (even if she is sneaking around) who could definitely use a good spanking. I’ll definitely be watching for more INCOGNITO books to be released.&quot;''<br /> * 5 Blue Ribbons - Romance Junkies<br /> <br /> ''&quot;While all of the other Incognito books work very well as standalone novels that can easily be read out of order, the way Conquering Connie ends makes me believe that its sequel will be a continuation of some of the storylines begun in this book. Of course, this is my own supposition based on the fact that the tale ends with a bit of a cliffhanger that left me on the edge of my seat itching for the next book in this addictive series!<br /> &quot;'' * 5 Klovers - CK2S Kwips and Kritiques<br /> <br /> ==Honors and Awards==<br /> <br /> * Top 5 best seller's list - December 2007 - Cobblestone Press<br /> <br /> == Teaser ==<br /> <br /> Connie stopped at the bank of mailboxes, unlocked hers, and pulled out a small stack of envelopes, not that she felt like reading bills, letters, or junk mail. She stuffed them in her oversized purse and headed for home, driving her car slowly into the parking lot. Pausing for the garage door to rise, she waited then lifted her foot from the break. Her car rolled inside. Again, she braked, let out a tired sigh, and punched the button to shut the garage door.<br /> <br /> Her shift at the hospital had been tougher than usual. She’d lost a hit-and-run victim who never regained consciousness, and had to forcibly restrain a belligerent drunk who didn’t understand that she needed him to lie still so the doctor could stitch up a six-inch cut to his forehead—the result of a bar fight.<br /> <br /> She killed the engine, shoved her car door open, got out, and—<br /> <br /> “Hey there, bad girl.”<br /> <br /> Startled by the sudden comment, she screamed and spun toward the voice. Her purse fell to the floor, its contents strewn.<br /> <br /> Tyrone...Alex.<br /> <br /> She recognized who the men were, but her heart raced with adrenaline at their surprise appearance. Fear battled with relief. Questions bombarded her mind.<br /> <br /> “Wha—”<br /> <br /> Tyrone cut her off by grabbing her upper arms, pulling her against his chest, and covering her mouth with his own. His tongue stabbed into her mouth, muffling the whimper that rumbled from her throat.<br /> <br /> He’d never taken her this way, never even kissed her, so the surprise she’d felt seconds earlier evolved into shock that overwhelmed her into stunned silence. For the briefest moment, she let herself feel. Experience his big hands holding her with firm gentleness. His musky scent surrounded her, calmed her, yet spiked excitement through her. When he leaned back from the kiss, she couldn’t help but blink at him, confused by his actions, confounded by their presence.<br /> <br /> “I—” she tried once more only to be spun around and kissed again, this time by Alex. He cradled her face while Tyrone continued to hold her arms in a strong but painless grip. Alex was just as talented with his tongue as Tyrone, stroking into her mouth in a sensual, languid heat that stirred her blood. His scent was subtly different than Tyrone’s. A little sweeter, spicier.<br /> <br /> “Don’t talk,” Tyrone murmured in her ear while Alex continued to kiss her. “Listen and submit, and all your questions will be answered...your desires met.”<br /> <br /> As his words sank in, she began to squirm, but they both held fast. She wanted to tell them she couldn’t risk it. She was too afraid to let go again, but he and his cousin refused to give her the chance. The instant Alex stopped kissing her, he placed one hand over mouth and the other behind her head. Her eyes widened, and her arousal spiked.<br /> <br /> “Mmm, sweet as sugar,” Alex whispered, and then he licked his lips as if savoring her taste.<br /> <br /> A war raged inside her mind—alarm at knowing she had no control over her situation—excitement at having these two men she’d known as friends take the decision...and the guilt...from her.<br /> <br /> Instinctively, she knew they wouldn’t harm her, although she silently hoped they weren’t here just for a quick fuck. Would they be willing to give her all she needed? She had no doubt that Ty knew her preference for pain as a physical stimulus, but she’d never seen him spank a woman, much less fulfill anyone’s more masochistic fantasies. And Alex was a complete mystery, an acquaintance she found physically attractive, but an unknown nonetheless.<br /> <br /> Those uncertainties made her body zing with anticipation as the men gagged her with one handkerchief and bound her wrists with a second Ty produced from his pocket.<br /> <br /> For a split second, at the final jerk of the knots, panic hardened her muscles. She shivered.<br /> <br /> “Don’t worry, Con,” Ty whispered as he gazed into her eyes. “We’ve got ya.” His reassuring words and earnest, honest gaze were a salve to her damaged soul. A sense of peace slowly settled throughout her body. The knowledge that both cousins were present—two men instead of one—helped alleviate her irrational fears. If something happened to one of them, she wouldn’t be alone, bound, immobilized by physical restraints and unable to help.<br /> <br /> She grunted when Ty lifted her over his shoulder as if she weighed nothing. Alex got the door, and Ty carried her into her own home. The setting mellowed her desires a bit, and she stiffened. She’d never brought any master to her home before. It had always been easier to meet up with them at the club, thus keeping that part of her life separate from the rest.<br /> <br /> Ty swatted her butt, making her jolt, and she realized he’d noticed her sudden tension. His abrupt and brief spanking had a cathartic effect, and her muscles began to relax.<br /> <br /> He was in control. He chose the location. It wasn’t her decision or her responsibility. Her mind started to let go.<br /> <br /> Tears of relief stung her eyes, but she blinked them away.<br /> <br /> He carried her through the condo, turning this way and that, apparently familiarizing himself with the layout. After a circuit of the utility room, dining and living areas, he dumped her on the plush loveseat. She had to toss her head back to clear her hair from her eyes.<br /> <br /> She didn’t try to struggle with her bonds or get up and run, even though they’d left her feet free. Instead, she stared at them and waited with baited breath.<br /> <br /> Alex flicked on a nearby light, so she had no trouble seeing their faces. Dressed in dark clothing, they appeared big, dangerous...and alluring. Their skin was almost as dark as the night itself. Their appearances so similar, yet significantly different. Both were tall, fit, and so…dominant. She’d often wondered what it would feel like to rub her hands over Tyrone’s shaved head, across his broad chest. Now there were two men to watch, to touch. She licked her lips in anticipation.<br /> <br /> Damn, she loved bad boys. It was why she loved it when club Doms called her a bad girl.<br /> <br /> She knew good and well that she was far from truly bad. She’d never so much as had a traffic ticket. But she’d once thought she might be bad, when she was just a teenager and fantasized about being spanked. Some so-called experts claimed such tendencies came from troubled pasts, but that wasn’t the case with her. Her childhood had been rather uneventful.<br /> <br /> The fantasies didn’t appear until her high school boyfriend playfully swatted her on the butt once when he’d shown up unexpectedly at her after-school cheerleading practice. The sting of that one strike was an electric jolt that made her pussy throb and heart pound.<br /> <br /> From then on she knew she was different, and when she joined Incognito, she discovered...acceptance.<br /> <br /> Alex moved about the room, stepped around a padded footstool, and closed the window blinds.<br /> <br /> Tyrone stood over her, motionless and imposing with his arms crossed, his muscled biceps bulging. His expression, usually so open and friendly, was serious and hard to read.<br /> <br /> “You’re in serious trouble, my sub.”<br /> <br /> Her heart tripped. Had Ty just called her his? She’d been called sub, slut, bitch, slave, among a host of other names, but never had anyone dared to call her my anything.<br /> <br /> “You might think you’ve lost yourself, but I’m here to tell you that we don’t intend to lose you.” He looked her straight in the eye when he spoke, the determination evident in both his words and on his face.<br /> <br /> Alex added, “And we’re not going to permit you to hide or run away anymore.”</div>

Standing between the love they both secretly feel for the other is Carson’s dark memories of the wife he lost, and Ella’s knowledge that she’s a soiled woman who has nothing to give him but herself.<br /> <br /> == Teaser ==<br /> <br /> Carson shoved the door open. The scent of beef stew made his mouth water. He hadn’t eaten in hours, and he’d worked his tail off all day riding and repairing fences in the north pasture. The candles still burned in the kitchen, but Ella wasn’t in sight. He scowled. She knew not to waste wax candles. He shut the door, checked his rifle for moisture, and then slipped it into the holder over the doorframe. Then he unbuckled his gun belt and did the same to his pistols before sliding them back into the holsters and hanging the belt on the peg next to the door. He removed his boots and left them on the rug by the door before he headed to the oven and lifted the lid on the small, cast iron skillet.<br /> <br /> Stew and dumplings. His favorite. Not bothering with a bowl, he grabbed the towel sitting on the counter, wrapped it around the handle, and carried it to the scarred table. He went back to the kitchen for a spoon and a cup of coffee. He’d just scooped up his first bite when Ella came into the kitchen from Hattie’s bedroom.<br /> <br /> “Oh. I didn’t hear you come in,” she said in her soft, English accent. “I must have dozed off with Hattie.”<br /> <br /> He grunted in response and took another bite. He never knew what to say to her.<br /> <br /> “Would you like a cup of milk?”<br /> <br /> He shook his head. “Coffee’s fine.”<br /> <br /> She paused a moment at the side of the table, and he glanced up to see her brow puckered in a slight frown. Her mouth opened as if she were about to say something, but then she turned away without a word and went to the sink.<br /> <br /> He ate in silence but couldn’t keep from glancing at her back as she scrubbed a pot. She wasn’t a beautiful woman by anyone’s standards. She was tall and strong, with hair the color of a field mouse. Her nose was a little too small for her round face, and her eyes too large, her chin pointy. But her lips were full and pink. She had a habit of flicking her tongue out to moisten them when she spoke, which stoked his lust as nothing ever had.<br /> <br /> He dreamed of kissing those lips. Of tearing away her worn, calico dress to find out if all those curves were real or a product of a corset. Her breasts were full and high, her waist narrow, her hips wide. If they were real, she’d be so soft to sink into.<br /> <br /> Turning his attention back to his stew, he ducked his head to keep from staring at her. He had no business thinking of her that way. She was a fallen woman. A whore. He shouldn’t even let her around his daughter, but when he hired her, he’d been desperate for the help. In the four years she’d been on the Lazy K, she’d never done anything to make him worry. She was a good caretaker for his daughter, kept him well fed, and his house spotlessly clean.<br /> <br /> “Hattie would like you to tuck her in when you’ve finished eating.”<br /> <br /> “She’s asleep, isn’t she?” he asked as he scraped the bottom of the pan with his spoon, trying to get the last bit of sauce.<br /> <br /> “Yes, she is now, but she was asking for you tonight.”<br /> <br /> How could a child who barely saw him ask about him? He shook his head and lifted his coffee mug. “Then she won’t know the difference.” He drained the scalded drink in one long swallow.<br /> <br /> He stood up and carried the pan and his mug to the sink.<br /> <br /> Ella set down the scrub brush and turned to him. Being this close to her was dangerous. His heart might be<br /> <br /> dead, but his cock wasn’t. It wanted her. Had ever since he saw her coming down the stairs of the Sleepy Eye Saloon wearing a red and black dress made of shiny silk and teasing lace.<br /> <br /> He still didn’t understand why Ella was the only whore Madame Chloe would part with.<br /> <br /> “It does matter,” Ella said in her lyrical accent. “That little girl needs her daddy. She cries when you’re not here to tuck her in at night.”<br /> <br /> Guilt shot through him like a lightening bolt, followed closely by broiling anger. “It’s not as if I can tell the cattle I can’t mend the fence until morning and would they be so kind as to not leave.”<br /> <br /> Ella tilted her chin up. She only stood a few inches shorter than he, but when she looked down her nose at him, it made him want to...haul her into his arms and kiss the stubborn from her.<br /> <br /> “I did not say—” She literally bit her tongue and dropped her gaze. “I was passing on a message is all.”<br /> <br /> He scrubbed his hand over his face. Ella was not a meek woman, but she never really let him have it, either. Even when it was obvious she wanted to. He wondered if she’d been hurt by a man.<br /> <br /> He stared at her for a long moment, wanting to shout at her, wanting to kiss her. Instead, he said, “Finish up here and go to bed.” Then he turned on his heel and headed for Hattie’s bedroom.”<br /> <br /> Ella’s softly spoken, “Yes, sir,” followed him.<br /> <br /> He found Hattie asleep on her stomach, facing the wall. She was bundled in the blankets like a bug with only the top of her pale blonde head peeking out. Her hair was the same as her mother’s had been. Soft, fine, and the color of corn silk. She looked so much like her mother he sometimes couldn’t stand it.<br /> <br /> He touched her head, and she let out a soft sigh. He shouldn’t hold her mother’s sins against her. It wasn’t her fault he’d let his wife go without a word, let her walk away from him. Hattie couldn’t help that he was all she had in the world, and it terrified him to be responsible for her. It certainly wasn’t her fault her mother had died a horrible death at the hands of bandits. And it wasn’t<br /> <br /> Hattie’s fault her mother had fled the life he’d tried so hard to build for her.<br /> <br /> “Papa?” Hattie rolled over, her eyes half closed.<br /> <br /> Maybe his heart wasn’t dead. When she called him papa in her sweet, little voice, something in his chest tightened. “I’m here.”<br /> <br /> “Love you, Papa.” Her eyes drifted closed, and she sighed again.<br /> <br /> He sat on the edge of the tiny bed and stroked her cheek with his finger. “Ah, pumpkin. I love you, too.” ''I just don’t know what to do with you.''</div>

She was a fallen woman. A whore. He shouldn’t even let her around his daughter, but when he hired her, he’d been desperate for the help. In the four years she’d been on the Lazy K, she’d never done anything to make him worry. She was a good caretaker for his daughter, kept him well fed, and his house spotlessly clean.<br /> <br /> “Hattie would like you to tuck her in when you’ve finished eating.”<br /> <br /> “She’s asleep, isn’t she?” he asked as he scraped the bottom of the pan with his spoon, trying to get the last bit of sauce.<br /> <br /> “Yes, she is now, but she was asking for you tonight.”<br /> <br /> How could a child who barely saw him ask about him? He shook his head and lifted his coffee mug. “Then she won’t know the difference.” He drained the scalded drink in one long swallow.<br /> <br /> He stood up and carried the pan and his mug to the sink.<br /> <br /> Ella set down the scrub brush and turned to him. Being this close to her was dangerous. His heart might be<br /> <br /> dead, but his cock wasn’t. It wanted her. Had ever since he saw her coming down the stairs of the Sleepy Eye Saloon wearing a red and black dress made of shiny silk and teasing lace.<br /> <br /> He still didn’t understand why Ella was the only whore Madame Chloe would part with.<br /> <br /> “It does matter,” Ella said in her lyrical accent. “That little girl needs her daddy. She cries when you’re not here to tuck her in at night.”<br /> <br /> Guilt shot through him like a lightening bolt, followed closely by broiling anger. “It’s not as if I can tell the cattle I can’t mend the fence until morning and would they be so kind as to not leave.”<br /> <br /> Ella tilted her chin up. She only stood a few inches shorter than he, but when she looked down her nose at him, it made him want to...haul her into his arms and kiss the stubborn from her.<br /> <br /> “I did not say—” She literally bit her tongue and dropped her gaze. “I was passing on a message is all.”<br /> <br /> He scrubbed his hand over his face. Ella was not a meek woman, but she never really let him have it, either. Even when it was obvious she wanted to. He wondered if she’d been hurt by a man.<br /> <br /> He stared at her for a long moment, wanting to shout at her, wanting to kiss her. Instead, he said, “Finish up here and go to bed.” Then he turned on his heel and headed for Hattie’s bedroom.”<br /> <br /> Ella’s softly spoken, “Yes, sir,” followed him.<br /> <br /> He found Hattie asleep on her stomach, facing the wall. She was bundled in the blankets like a bug with only the top of her pale blonde head peeking out. Her hair was the same as her mother’s had been. Soft, fine, and the color of corn silk. She looked so much like her mother he sometimes couldn’t stand it.<br /> <br /> He touched her head, and she let out a soft sigh. He shouldn’t hold her mother’s sins against her. It wasn’t her fault he’d let his wife go without a word, let her walk away from him. Hattie couldn’t help that he was all she had in the world, and it terrified him to be responsible for her. It certainly wasn’t her fault her mother had died a horrible death at the hands of bandits. And it wasn’t<br /> <br /> Hattie’s fault her mother had fled the life he’d tried so hard to build for her.<br /> <br /> “Papa?” Hattie rolled over, her eyes half closed.<br /> <br /> Maybe his heart wasn’t dead. When she called him papa in her sweet, little voice, something in his chest tightened. “I’m here.”<br /> <br /> “Love you, Papa.” Her eyes drifted closed, and she sighed again.<br /> <br /> He sat on the edge of the tiny bed and stroked her cheek with his finger. “Ah, pumpkin. I love you, too.” ''I just don’t know what to do with you.''</div>

<p>Leannekarella: </p> <hr /> <div>*'''Author:''' [[Leanne Karella]] <br /> <br /> *'''Publisher:''' [[Wings ePress]] <br /> <br /> *'''Genre:''' [[Contemporary]] Cowboy Romance<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Book Blurbs ==<br /> <br /> The Double H Ranch is a fictional ranch set in the very real area of central British Columbia, ten miles from the real town of Cache Creek.<br /> While driving through the area, I was intrigued by the setting. I'd always thought of B.C. as populated by huge, lush evergreens, winding blue rivers and sparkling lakes. To my total surprise, this particular part of B.C. is the northern section of the dessert belt which runs from Mexico through the American southwest, and up into Canada. <br /> <br /> My first thought was that it was ugly and brown... Sand, blah ponderosa pines and sagebrush. But the more I studied the area, the more time I spent there, the more intrigued I became. And the birth of the Double H Ranch took place in my mind. <br /> <br /> Populated by rugged bachelor cowboys, the Double H needed some strong women to come in and shake things up. <br /> <br /> In Lost Lady, meet Joe McIntyre, the sexy, forty something cowboy who feels unworthy of a good woman's love. Jenny Smith shows up to set him straight on that matter.<br /> <br /> In For the Love of a Family, meet Colton Harrison, the owner of half of the Double H. And Cassandra Fairchild, the owner, much to Colton's consternation, of the other half. <br /> <br /> In A Place to Call Home, return to the Double H to meet Slade Martin. Tall, dark, devastatingly handsome, and harboring a secret. Becca McIntyre, Joe's sister now living on the Double H with her two little girls, finally finds a man who knows how to take care of a lady. If she'll allow herself to trust him. <br /> <br /> I hope you fall in love with the Double H and all the hunky men who live there as much as I have. <br /> <br /> '''[[Lost Lady]]''' May 2006.<br /> <br /> '''[[For the Love of a Family]]''' will be released by Wings ePress Inc.

Besides, what man in his right mind would want a disfigured woman?<br /> <br /> Dan’s serving out a ten-year probation working on the Rocky Basin Ranch. His dreams of owning his own spread keep him going when all seems hopeless. Then Jana, with her bright eyes, beautiful smile, tender nature and gentle touch, enters his life, offering him one night of shared comfort. But his heart demands forever.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Purchase ==<br /> Coming soon to [http://www.cobblestone-press.com Cobblestone Press]<br /> <br /> == What the critics are saying ==<br /> <br /> == Teaser ==<br /> <br /> Dan couldn't even think of marriage and ever after. It wasn't in the cards for him. Not for another five years.<br /> As he finished off his cola, the back door on the pink camper opened and Jana carefully walked down the steps, grabbing hold of the handle near the door. When she stepped on the ground, she leaned over slightly and rubbed her right thigh. Again, he wondered about the limp. About the scar on her face. What had happened to her? Farming accident? Those were common enough.<br /> <br /> She reached back into the camper and lifted out a lump of something. In the dim light, he couldn't tell what it was. She bent and set it on the ground. He could see she held a leash.<br /> <br /> He frowned and squinted at the lump. It moved. She was right-that thing sure as hell wasn't a dog. Jana's limp seemed even more pronounced now as she moved toward the grass of the lawn by the main house. The lump ambled along beside her. It was about the size of a bowling ball, and he could pick out the head. A tail almost as long as its body dragged behind.<br /> <br /> What the hell…? He set down his cola, pushed off the stairs, and started across the yard.<br /> <br /> Jana turned at the sound of gravel crunching under his boots. She smiled at him as he drew closer. In the halogen lights overhead, her skin was very pale. Even the darkness couldn't hide the lines of fatigue and possibly pain etched beside her full, luscious-looking mouth.<br /> <br /> &quot;Okay,&quot; he said. &quot;I give. What the hell is that?&quot;<br /> <br /> Her laugh was silent and breathy, but her eyes crinkled and her straight white teeth flashed. &quot;A woodchuck,&quot; she signed.<br /> <br /> He frowned down at the furry bundle as it ambled over the lawn, sticking its pointy nose into the grass, sniffing and snuffling.<br /> <br /> &quot;As in, 'How much wood can a woodchuck chuck?'&quot;<br /> <br /> Her breathy, voiceless laugh was a sexy sound. He grinned at her, and she nodded.<br /> <br /> &quot;What's it doing?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Looking for bugs,&quot; she signed. &quot;Not that it'll do her much good.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Why's that?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;She has no teeth.&quot;<br /> <br /> He wrinkled his brow.<br /> <br /> Jana went on signing in fluid hand motions. &quot;We were at a rodeo near Denver a few years ago, and I caught some boys throwing firecrackers at her. She'd obviously been hand fed, and didn't know the danger. She grabbed on, probably thinking it was food, and it exploded in her mouth.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Sonofabitch.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jana nodded and stared down at the giant rodent. &quot;She was hurt and so scared. I wanted to beat those boys.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;So you rescued her,&quot; Dan said, and Jana nodded. Commendable, he thought, and very sweet.<br /> <br /> Bending over, she made a kissy sound with her lips, and the woodchuck turned and ambled to her. She picked it up, then held it out to him.<br /> <br /> &quot;You want me to hold it?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Her,&quot; Jana signed, one-handed. &quot;R-O-C-K-Y.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You named a female Rocky?&quot; He chuckled and held out his arms. Jana laid Rocky in his arms, on its back, just like a baby, then scratched Rocky's belly.<br /> <br /> Heavier than he thought it would be, probably around eight pounds or so, it sighed as if perfectly contented and dropped its head back over his arm. Its fur was course against his bare chest. He adjusted his arms to cradle it in the crook of his elbow, and joined Jana in scratching its belly.<br /> <br /> It groaned as if in bliss, making Dan laugh. &quot;I thought it was illegal to own a wild animal.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jana shrugged. &quot;Are you going to tell on me?&quot; she signed with a cheeky grin.<br /> <br /> &quot;No ma'am, not me.&quot; <br /> <br /> Rocky sat up and turned toward his chest. Startled, Dan almost dropped her. Jana made that breathy laugh sound again. The rodent leaned up and scrambled up his chest, its blunt nails digging into his flesh, and Dan sucked in his breath. But then he laughed as Rocky buried her nose behind his ear and sniffed, tickling him.<br /> <br /> &quot;She likes you,&quot; Jana signed. &quot;She doesn't snuggle with anyone but me.&quot;<br /> <br /> Snuggle? Yeah, he supposed Rocky was cuddling. Her little claws dug into his shoulders on either side of his neck, and her nose stayed planted behind his ear. What the hell. This was kind of cool.<br /> <br /> &quot;So, if she can't eat the bugs she's looking for, what do you feed her?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Are you sure you want to know?&quot;<br /> <br /> He chuckled and adjusted his arms again, holding Rocky's rump on his arm, as he would a child. The only difference was that Rocky had some nasty nails that were digging into him. He should have put on a shirt. &quot;Try me. I'm a big tough cowboy.&quot;<br /> <br /> She grinned and signed, &quot;Mealworms for protein, cooked into a mush with grain and sprouts.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Mmm. Sounds tasty.&quot;<br /> <br /> She laughed again, and he grinned. Covering her mouth with the back of her hand, she yawned. &quot;I think I need to go to bed,&quot; she signed.<br /> <br /> He nodded and leaned over to hand Rocky back to her, but the creature dug its nails into his shoulders and buried its nose harder against his neck.<br /> <br /> Jana's mossy eyes danced with humor as she signed, &quot;I think she's in love. She doesn't meet many men.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah well, I've always had luck with the ladies,&quot; he teased with a wink.<br /> <br /> Jana reached for Rocky, making those cute little kissy sounds. The backs of her fingers rubbed against his chest as she wrapped her hands around Rocky's middle. He sucked in his breath at the unexpected, completely pleasurable contact. She stopped moving and stared up at him. Her mouth slightly open, her tongue peeked out to flick over her bottom lip, and all he could think about was leaning over and kissing those full, pretty lips.<br /> <br /> She practically snatched Rocky from his arms, and then turned away and hurried toward her camper. He wanted to go after her, pull her into his arms and kiss her. Ask her why she seemed afraid whenever any physical contact happened between them. Did she find him repulsive? Did she not like men?<br /> <br /> She pulled open the door to the camper and set Rocky inside, then slowly, carefully climbed the steps, as if it hurt her to do so. She reached for the door to close it, but stopped and looked at him for a moment. Then she slowly signed, &quot;Goodnight,&quot; before grabbing the doorknob and pulling the door shut behind her.</div>

His expression said that he was bemused by her outburst. Quietly, rationally, he said, &quot;Aye, Meghan, that you are. You belong to me and I shall do with you as I please.&quot; <br /> <br /> Deflation. Dear Lord, she had never thought of what would happen to her if he did not want her. She leaned on the table, her equilibrium thrown off. She was doomed. There was no hope, no way out of this situation. <br /> <br /> &quot;I see I have let you believe you are above your station,&quot; Galen said softly. &quot;I have been kind, Meghan. I have let you alone and I have let you live in luxury beyond necessity. I see I did all for naught. I had hoped you would soften toward me. Instead, you overstep yourself by shouting at me.&quot; He took her chin in his palm and turned her face toward him. &quot;You may stay in that room, or you may move to the servant's quarters at once. The choice is yours. Everyone in my home fulfills a duty. If you do not complete your task, you shan't stay under my roof.&quot; <br /> <br /> Though her ears seemed to thunder with a torrent of blood, she understood his ultimatum. Mating or misery. A no win situation. As her eyes closed on decision, she stepped away from his grasp. &quot;I thank you for the choice, my lord. You are a truly kind man.&quot; <br /> <br /> Galen was not sure if she was serious or being facetious with that comment, but he did not like her attitude. &quot;Where will you sleep tonight, Meghan?&quot; <br /> <br /> She took a shaky breath, then another. Finally she opened her eyes and met his gaze. &quot;Not under your roof, my lord.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Arghhh!&quot; Galen slashed his hands through his hair. &quot;Am I so horrible that you would prefer out there,&quot; he pointed toward the kitchen door, &quot;to my bed?&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Nay, my lord. You are not horrible at all. You are correct. You have treated me better than I deserve but I cannot bed you. I simply can not do it!&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Why?&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;It would be a sin.&quot; <br /> <br /> Galen threw back his head and laughed. &quot;Then I shall see Father Lonagan in the morn for confession.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Do not mock me!&quot; She took a gulp of air, her body rigid with anger as her bright blue eyes flashed at him. &quot;I would be the sinner. Please, my lord. You cannot understand this, but I cannot bed with you. It would surely mean my death.&quot; <br /> <br /> The begging quality of her voice bothered him deeply. He did not think she was the type to beg for many things. He studied her troubled eyes, not understanding. <br /> <br /> &quot;You are speaking in riddles now. First you tell me you are afraid of me because of bad experiences with men in the past, now you think you will die? Has someone planted superstitions in your mind? What has Martha been spewing at you when she sees you?&quot; <br /> <br /> She shook her head at him. &quot;They are my riddles to understand, not yours. And Martha has nothing to do with this. I will not willingly go to your bed. Unless you go back on your word and force me, I shall move to my new sleeping quarters now. If I may be excused.&quot; The last was said with more than a hint of sarcasm. <br /> <br /> Galen's temple pulsed as he clenched and unclenched his jaw. This situation was not turning in his favor and he could think of nothing that might sway her mind. &quot;I insist that you explain your riddles, so I might understand.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;You may not demand that I share my private thoughts with you.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;You may not keep secrets from your master.&quot; He pushed away from the table and stood just inches from her, trying to penetrate her rock-solid resolution. Wanting to intimidate her into telling him what was in her mind. <br /> <br /> Meeting his eyes boldly, she answered between clenched teeth. &quot;I shall keep this one.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;I could force it out of you--&quot; <br /> <br /> She shook her head, her flaxen hair flowed over her shoulders so beautifully he nearly reached out to feel its softness. &quot;I have faced a cruelty you are not capable of. You have sworn to me that you would not harm me, and I believe there is honor in your word.&quot; <br /> <br /> He watched her lip tremble with fear as she spoke words of courage. &quot;There are ways of cruelty that do not involve shackles and lashings that would break you easily enough.&quot; He sighed then, and relaxed his rigid stance. &quot;Shall I send you away? If I cannot trust you, I cannot have you in my home.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Do with me what you must, my lord,&quot; she said in a soft, nasty hiss. &quot;I am but yours to dispose of at your whim.&quot; <br /> <br /> The doors to the hall crashed open, startling Galen and Meghan out of their discussion. Severn carried a boy in his arms. The boy's head lolled to the side and he groaned weakly. <br /> <br /> &quot;What's happened?&quot; Galen asked as Severn laid the boy out on the table near them. <br /> <br /> &quot;Frederick, my lord, he is dying.&quot; Severn flipped up the edge of the boy's tunic to reveal a jagged, infected gash on the boy's thigh. <br /> <br /> &quot;Fetch Martha,&quot; Galen said to Meghan. <br /> <br /> &quot;I am here, my lord,&quot; Martha said as she seemed to materialize from nowhere. <br /> <br /> She'd most likely been eavesdropping again. Galen made a mental note to have another talk with Royce about her. <br /> <br /> Martha stepped up to the table and glanced quickly at the grotesquely swollen thigh. Flame red with infection and oozing with puss. She made a face of disgust. &quot;Nothing can be done with that, my lord, but cauterizing it and hope for the best.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Very well.&quot; Galen turned back to Severn. &quot;Take him to the smithy, tell him to heat an iron.&quot; Galen sighed, &quot;I will be there in a few minutes to do it myself.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Wait!&quot; Meghan grabbed Severn's arm before he could lift the boy. &quot;Let me see to him.&quot;</div>

That’s what I told my dear brother. I’d love to live on the ranch.” She threw the smelly hay into the wheelbarrow and jabbed another batch of the grimy stuff. “Yeah. Right. I’m just having a ball.”<br /> <br /> “And the weather,” she mumbled to herself. “Desert climate, right? Yeah. I really believe that now.” She stopped her shoveling and turned toward the big Appaloosa in the stall next to her. “You tell me,” she said, meeting the horse’s soulful eyes. “Does this look like a desert climate? Joe said there’s very little snow here. He said it barely gets below freezing. He said it’d be a piece of cake.” She jabbed at another batch of hay. “Well, dear brother, you eat this damn cake.” She scooped up the last of the dirty hay and eyed the pretty dappled mare in the stall on the other side of her. “He’s so full of... of--” she lifted the scoop of manure to show the mare. “This!”<br /> <br /> “Excuse me?”<br /> <br /> “''What?''” Becca swung around. The stuff on the pitchfork slid off with a ''plop'' right onto a pair of boots. A man’s boots. “Ah, crap!”<br /> <br /> His laugh was low and husky, like a gravely river bottom. “Yes, ma’am. That would be crap.”<br /> <br /> Becca raised her eyes from the pile of... stuff on the man’s boots. Up long, long, denim clad muscular thighs to-- “Ohmigosh.” She didn’t know this man. No man on the Double H had legs like those. And... Wow. What a package. She let her gaze travel up farther, past narrow hips, big silver belt buckle, wide, ''undeniably'' wide chest. Even beneath the shearling jacket, she could see he was built like a Greek statue. Then came his face. Oh, ''holy cow''! He ''is'' made out of granite. Square jaw with a strong cleft. High, chiseled cheekbones. And eyes. Yes, yes, of course he has eyes, Becca reassured herself. But ''these'' eyes... As green as any meadow in the summer sunshine. And the glint of humor behind them... If she were the type, she’d surely swoon. His height alone was... ''Damn''.<br /> <br /> “Ma’am?” One midnight black eyebrow arched, a slight hint of humor tipped up one side of his unbelievably sensual lips.<br /> <br /> His deep, gravelly voice made her tingle all over. Like sandpaper. No, like... She didn’t have a clue but it was rough, deep, sexy as sin. ''Who is this man? And can I keep him?''</div>

Jeez, he didn't even know any of these things were still on the road. <br /> A woman--ah hell!--a young woman stepped from the car. Couldn't that damn nanny service ever get it right? <br /> <br /> Wolf and Willow came tearing around the side of the big house and ran right up to the woman. She smiled at the twins and ruffled Wolf's hair. &quot;Is your mom or dad here?&quot; he heard her say in a husky, sexier-than-sin voice. <br /> <br /> Great. They hadn't even bothered telling her she was working for a man. Only a man. No woman around, definitely no mother for the twins. That's why she was needed. <br /> <br /> The woman looked up at the sound of his boot heels on the gravel. Her eyes were a startling, mossy green. Her smile would knock a lesser man to his knees. <br /> <br /> &quot;Hi,&quot; she said softly. &quot;I'm--&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Over three hours late.&quot; Colton gave her his best scowl. Better she run off in fear now than having to throw her off the ranch later. <br /> <br /> Her eyes widened and she glanced around as if searching for something. <br /> <br /> &quot;I'm Colton Harrison. This is Wolf and Willow,&quot; he said, placing and hand on each of their heads. They looked up at him and grinned. &quot;They eat dinner at six. Bed time at nine. Not one minute later. No junk food. No candy. No--&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Colton! You about ready? We're going to lose the light in the canyon if we don't get a move on.&quot; <br /> <br /> Colton ground his molars. &quot;I have to go. Make yourself at home. I should be back by midnight.&quot; He leaned down and kissed each of the children on the cheek. <br /> <br /> &quot;I...&quot; <br /> <br /> He turned on his heel and started back toward the barn to retrieve his horse. Billy was standing outside, holding Chiggar's reins. <br /> <br /> Just what he needed! Another gorgeous woman who thinks she has what it takes to look after two very rambunctious five year olds. She'd be gone within the week, he'd bet the entire ranch on that. <br /> <br /> &quot;Wait!&quot; <br /> <br /> He grabbed Chiggar's reins and mounted, then waited for her to run up to him. He groaned. Literally groaned. She was definitely the hottest one the nanny service had sent. She was about five-nine, all legs and curves. Her long auburn hair fell in waves over her shoulders. <br /> <br /> &quot;Wait...Colton...&quot; she sucked in her breath. It hadn't been that long of a jog across the yard. Great. That meant she was out of shape on top of being too damn young. Couldn't be over twenty-five. He did not need this right now. He had a cattle rustler to deal with. <br /> <br /> &quot;I need to introduce myself, I don't think--&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Good. Start with that. Don't think. Just take care of the kids. I'm paying you a small mint to do it.&quot; He reined Chiggar around. &quot;If you need anything, talk to Joe McIntyre. He's in the barn.&quot; With that, he spurred Chiggar and headed out of the yard for the north hills. He was going to catch those damn cattle thieves if it was the last thing he did. <br /> <br /> &quot;Cole!&quot; Joe shouted after him. &quot;Phone from the nanny service!&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;Tell them to send someone else,&quot; he called over his shoulder. &quot;Older!&quot;</div>
