This cowboy is a sure shot to the heart…
Riley Lawrence is an expert at moving on and not risking his heart. Helping pastry chef Dani Boatman is a onetime deal—she’s got her hands full giving her orphaned niece a stable home. But someone with a vicious grudge has a target on the curvaceous redhead’s back. And destroying her life is just the start…
Dani doesn’t trust easy—a lesson she learned the hard way. This freewheeling cowboy with an irresistible grin insists on putting himself between her and harm’s way. But the desire getting hotter between them can’t promise anything more than heartbreak. And with unsuspected danger also closing in, Dani and Riley’s one chance for love could prove forever lethal.
The Kavanaughs
“A horse isn’t that big a mystery. They show you what they need from you. Just like a man does.”
Riley’s voice had softened to a whisper. His gaze was intense, hypnotic. The need inside Dani swelled until she was dizzy.
He pulled her into his arms and lowered his face until their lips touched. In that moment every inkling of control vanished, melted in the heat of his kiss.
Dizzy with desire, Dani swayed against Riley. Her pulsing need vibrated through every erogenous cell in her body. She parted her lips and his tongue slipped inside her mouth. Thrusting. Probing. Ravenous. As if he couldn’t get enough of her…

Thanks to all my friends and neighbors who’ve taught me so much about living in Texas. Now that I’m settled into my own small-town Texas lifestyle, I can’t imagine living anywhere else. And, as always, thanks to my hubby for constantly being willing to rearrange our life to make time for my writing and research.

Dani Boatman piped the last exquisite rose onto the top layer of the tiered wedding cake. She stood back and examined her handiwork. Magnificent, she decided—almost too pretty to cut and eat.
But it would definitely be eaten. According to the bride, the guest list kept growing. Weddings were apparently a big deal in the small town of Winding Creek, Texas—a chance to dress up, visit with friends and neighbors and dance to a live band. And, of course, to celebrate the new couple.
The exciting part was that this time, she was not only invited to the festivities, but was also actually going to be involved. Maid of honor in the wedding of Grace Addison and Pierce Lawrence.
She’d be the only attendant, except for Pierce’s five-year-old daughter, Jaci, who’d be the flower girl.
Grace had helped Dani pick out her dress, which was made of an emerald-green satin that brought out Dani’s eyes and went well with her mass of unruly coppery curls.
The style worked, too. The dress was fitted at the waist with cap sleeves and a slightly flared skirt that fell to her ankles—easily long enough to cover her chunky calves.
The rounded, no-frills neckline revealed only a minimum of cleavage and fully covered her size 38 D puppies. A plump lady’s version of chic.
Grace had been her first and only close friend since moving here. Not that the people weren’t nice, but Dani’s spare time amounted to pretty much zero.
