      “It’s that biker party—I can’t sleep.”

      Kirk huffed as he stepped into Bree’s motel room. He speared his hand through his hair.…

      And froze in that position as his gaze swerved to Bree. “Oh, sorry,” he murmured thickly, staring at her standing there in her underwear.

      “I’m covered.”

      “Barely,” he muttered.

      “I’m wearing more than a bathing suit!”

      Kirk wanted to say something, but he had the gut sense that if he opened his mouth right now, the only thing that would emerge would be a garbled string of incoherent sounds.

      Look away. Be a gentleman. But his eyes were rarin’ to roam free.

      And roam they did. All over her long, lean, strong body.

      “Are you all right?” asked Bree.

      “No,” he croaked.

      “If you’d feel better,” she said softly, “I’ll slip back into bed, get under the covers.”

      Dear Reader,

      True story: A few years ago, a bull escaped from our regional stock show and found its way to a local highway where (until it was captured) it merrily galloped along with traffic. Being a romance writer, I read the story in the paper and found myself wondering, “What if a heroine was riding that bull?”

      And so was born Let It Bree, where the heroine, Bree Brown, does indeed ride a Brahman bull out of a stock show to save it, and herself, from some thugs…one of whom becomes the hero in the sequel, Can’t Buy Me Louie.

      So kick back and enjoy a rollicking road story where a girl and her bull are rescued by a handsome scientist, the two of them (well, three) on the lam, on the road and falling in love!

      Happy reading!
