      The bedroom door swung open soundlessly and he didn’t bother with lights.

      Stripping out of his clothes, he slid between the Egyptian cotton sheets and rolled toward the center of his bed. Where he encountered a warm body.

      His palm dipped into a nipped-in waist before smoothing over the curve of a hip. Tucker must have hustled to get him this coming-home present. He dipped his head and nuzzled the sweet spot behind the woman’s ear.

      The next thing he knew, the woman had rolled, tucked her feet into his chest and kicked. Chase flew off the bed and hit the carpeted floor with a soft thud.

      “What the hell!” The woman scampered to the other side of the bed and turned on the lamp. “Who are you?”

      He stood up, naked and unembarrassed. “I might ask you the same thing, wildcat.”

      “Oh, my God, you’re naked. Get out!”

      Before he could move, she nailed him in the chest with a boot. A Western boot. Covered in mud and... He sniffed the air.

      “Get out of here, you pervert! I’m calling security.”

      “Good idea, since I’m throwing you out.”

      “What? You can’t do that.”

      “Sure I can, kitten. This is my apartment.”

      Her jaw dropped and then her full lips formed a perfect O.

      Convenient Cowgirl Bride is part of the Red Dirt Royalty series: These Oklahoma millionaires work hard and play harder.

      Dear Reader,

      Rodeo is a thing. A big thing. It’s both a lifestyle and a business. Cowboys and cowgirls who compete on the pro circuit work hard and are on the road almost constantly. There’s an order to the rodeos and winning points in order to compete in the big daddy of them all—the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. And there are the rodeos that stir the public’s imagination: Cheyenne Frontier Days, Calgary Stampede, San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver to name a few.

      Under normal circumstances, I do a lot of research and make sure places and dates are realistic in my books. In this instance, I admit to fudging Savannah’s schedule for the sake of the story. Hopefully, you’ll be swept up in the romance and won’t begrudge me the poetic license.

      I had fun writing this book, revisiting my youth when I trudged out to feed horses no matter the weather, or hooked up the trailer and loaded my horses to head to a rodeo. I was never dedicated enough to make it on the rodeo circuit so I’ll admit to living vicariously through Savannah while I wrote her story.

      And now that you know my secret, I hope you enjoy Savvi’s story, and the love Chase wants to share with her, even if she’s a bit more inconveniently convenient than he bargained for.

      Happy trails!

      SILVER JAMES likes walks on the wild side and coffee. Okay. She LOVES coffee. A cowgirl at heart, she’s been an army officer’s wife and mum, and worked in the legal field, fire service and law enforcement. Now retired from the real world, she lives in Oklahoma, spending her days writing with the assistance of two Newfoundlands, the cat who rules them all and the characters living in her imagination.

      To every reader who is a cowgirl at heart, to the man who taught me about the soul of a horse and to the marvelous Harlequin team who make it easy to let my imagination gallop across the page.
