      Lucinda knew that she needed to do something.

      Say something, maybe even shut the door.

      But Josh had just short-circuited her brain.

      “I have Thai,” he said, leaning back but not stepping clear. “A bottle of California chardonnay, and some ice cream from this new place I’ve heard of—Calhoun Creamery?” He winked at her. “I hope it’s good. I got you mint chocolate chip.”

      He kissed her. He remembered what her favorite kind of ice cream was.

      And, more than any of that, he was here.

      Josh was still standing over her, smiling down as if he was enjoying her complete and total befuddlement. “I’ll just put this in the kitchen, shall I?”

      “Oh. Yes.” She gestured in the general direction of her kitchen and managed to get her door shut. She was suddenly very aware of why, exactly, having Josh at her place made her so twitchy.

      It was because they were alone.

      Claimed by the Cowboy is part of the Dynasties: The Newports series—Passion and chaos consume a Chicago real estate empire.

Dear Reader,

      Welcome to Chicago! I lived in Chicago for almost six years. Although it’s been over ten years since we left the Windy City, going back to Chicago was very much a literary homecoming for me, just like it was for Josh Calhoun.

      Josh went to Chicago, fell in love and got married. But that life fell apart and he returned to the family’s dairy business in Iowa. Now he’s back for the first time in years to help out his friends, the Newports.

      The last person he expects to run into is Lucy Wilde. Lucy had dated his best friend before the poor guy died of cancer and Josh and Lucy had a falling-out at the funeral. Dr. Lucinda Wilde is the preeminent cancer specialist in Chicago and in charge of Sutton Winchester’s health. When she sees Josh, Lucy’s reminded of everything she gave up back in school. She’s not sure she can handle this blast from the past, but Josh refuses to give up on their friendship a second time.

      Claimed by the Cowboy is a sensual story about fighting for your dreams and falling in love. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Look for other Dynasties stories for more about the Newports and the Winchesters!
