BLURB:
Colt Anderson is burned out. Every part of his daily life has become a tedious
chore. He cannot remember the last time he took a day off or, better yet, felt
a woman’s willing surrender. And it’s just his luck that on his first day off
in ages, he runs into a sexy squatter on his property, never expecting that
single interaction would alter the very fabric of his world.
Still, he cannot seem to stay away from the sultry scientist, Avery. Colt feels bad for her, worries that she is running from something, and decides to cover her stay at the ranch. After all, he owns the place and has plenty of cash. Although that tiny little detail is a secret he plans on keeping to himself. It is addictive having a woman look in his direction and not see dollar signs for a change.Because when Avery casts those goddess eyes his way, he’s just a man, a man she craves and submits to body and soul, like he’s her man, and his longing for her has him tied up in knots. With trouble and danger drawn to her like magnets, Avery pulls out his protective, dominant nature. The woman needs a keeper, and he’s the perfect man for the job.Now he has less than two weeks to convince her to stay, to make her fall for him before she discovers he’s rich. But will she hate him when she discovers his deception?

EXCERPT
Tank snorted and tossed his head, breaking Colt out of his somber reverie.
“What’s up, boy? Smell something?” That’s when he noticed that the daylight had
darkened considerably.
The wind that had been a gentle, humid, summer breeze now whipped tumultuously
through the trees. He glanced up and his stomach dropped. Shit.
Dark clouds advanced on a warpath across the sky. Bright flashes of lightning
arced across the heavens. And a deep rumble of thunder crashed, increasing in
sound and tenor as the storm barreled into the area.
A midafternoon squall was common at this time of year. They could also be deadly
this high up. There was a cabin nearby, one of the higher elevation getaways
that Colt knew was vacant at the present time. Without a second to lose, he
veered Tank off the path, and plodded toward the back-country road. He prayed
that they would make it before the storm unleashed its fury in earnest.
Tank sensed his urgency with the approaching tempest, and increased his pace.
Luckily, the cabins all had a small barn with two stalls inside that were
attached on the side, for visitors who brought their own horses with them for
the trails and didn’t want to pay to stable them at the main barn. He’d get Tank
settled out of the elements and would then chill out in the cabin while the
storm raged. He might be spending a night up here after all. It could be exactly
what he needed. He had a satellite phone in his bag in case of emergencies. The
cabins were stocked with wood for the fireplace. And while all he had was a
sandwich and water, he’d make do with what he had. At least the house keys in
his saddlebag also had master keys for the ranch. Directly inside each barn door
was a small lockbox on the wall that held a key to the cabin. The lockboxes were
all keyed the same for maintenance. Since so many of their cabins were quite a
way from the main hub, it was easier when they were on calls to be able to head
directly to the next cabin and not have to worry about whether they had a key to
enter.
When they were about an eighth of a mile out from the cabin, the rain began to
fall in thick, heavy sheets. Lightning flashed. Thunder boomed. Tank snorted,
tossing his head at the bellowing roar as the storm arrived with vehemence. Colt
raced Tank as fast as was safe. He wouldn’t risk hurting the stallion. Rain
dripped off the rim of his ivory Stetson. Water coated his blue jeans and gray
tee shirt, and slipped down his calves into his brown leather cowboy boots. At
least they were one of his older, well-worn pairs he reserved for working the
stables.
They crested a tiny ridge. The hickory cabin sat on an open half acre of land
encircled by a grove of trees—a mixture of aspen, cottonwood, and spruce. Hail
began to fall with the rain, pelting them. The trees receded and in the open
terrain, Colt pressed his knees against Tank’s flanks to increase their speed.
Tank needed no urging from him.
But as the cabin came into full view, Colt spied a battered, tan SUV parked in
front of the wooden structure. And there was a sprite of a woman, long dark hair
plastered to her body, carting what looked like telescopes inside the
building.
What the hell? Who was she, and what was she doing here?
