To Tempt an Earl

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:55:18 +0200

Tempting an Earl is not for the faint of heart.Thank heavens Bethanny is anything but faint!Now, honest, perhaps—too honest, but never faint!After all, why flirt when you can tempt? And why the devil would a woman choose to swoon when she could be kissed?Of course, she'd never try something so...honest, yes that was the word, honest on anyone but Lord Graham.He's the only one she wants.He alone has her heart.And, he hadn't a clue.So it was only polite that she tell him.Now, if only her blasted guardian, the Duke of Clairmont, would see Graham as more of a suitor than his old friend.Because Graham is anything but old and most certainly not just a friend, not after that kiss, or that touch.Though, if she were to lay all her cards on the table—which any gently bred woman ought—he wasn't completely aware it was her mouth, her lips, or her touch.But that's beside the point now, isn't it?

The Cowgirl Meets Her Match

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:55:22 +0200

Love takes a special kind of courage . . .

Captain Sterling Garlington has faced down enemy fire without losing his nerve. But after a life-altering injury derails his military career, the former US marine is suddenly taking his marching orders from a sexy, edgy beauty at the Elk Heights Ranch. Even more amazing, equine therapist Harper Matthews makes him want to not only embrace life again—but give in to the attraction simmering between them.

Her love of horses is Harper's magic bullet—her way of healing the painful past. And in the wounded soldier she recognizes a kindred spirit. Part of her wants to bolt, yet at the same time Sterling is drawing her closer. Maybe it's his courage. Or his mega-watt smile. Or both. Either way, she'll make a cowboy out of the wary war hero yet. It's like getting back on a horse. They'll just have to learn to trust each other—and be willing to open their hearts . . .
