As
cowboys, the Langston brothers of Cattle Creek, Texas, know it can
hurt like hell to fall off a horse. But it can hurt even more to fall
in love. . . .
Sheriff
Seth Langston is head over heels for local wild child Jessie McAllen
and has been for years. The trouble is she has eyes only for Seth’s
rodeo star brother, Chase. Even though he considers Jessie his girl,
Chase is an incorrigible ladies’ man with a wandering eye and no
chance of settling down soon.
Jessie
is ready to move away from Cattle Creek to put her feelings for Chase
behind her, but after she shares a white-hot kiss with Seth, things
get a little complicated. Jessie realizes her heart should have been
his all along. And in the face of sudden tragedy, they’ll discover
if their newfound passion will tear the Langston men apart or make
the family stronger than ever. . . .

Excerpt:
Jessie
sat at the end of the building farthest from the door. Her breathing
had returned to normal and her head was down as she contemplated only
heaven knew what. Her hands were braced her on her knees, and her hat
was pulled low over her eyes.
Seth
didn’t need to see them. He knew what color they were, had
memorized it long ago—storm-cloud gray and just as dangerous, with
dark rings around their irises that made them look twice as big as
they really were and sooty lashes that should have belonged to a
brunette.
“Jessie?”
he said softly. It was the voice he used when talking to frightened
mares and skittish colts and red-haired angels who had fallen from
grace.
She
didn’t look up, just raised her arms out in front of her, wrists
lax, hands dangling, anger spent. “I’ll go peacefully. Just get
it over with, Seth. Handcuff me and take me to jail.”
Handcuff
her.
Now,
there was an image Seth could’ve lived without.
He
swallowed hard.
Despite
his brother’s tomcat morals, and the fact that he didn’t deserve
. . .
Well,
despite everything that Chase didn’t deserve, including the sassy
redhead, Jessie was Chase’s girl. Always had been. Always would be.
“I
just want to talk to you about what happened tonight.”
She
dropped her hands back to her lap and shrugged. But he still couldn’t
see her face, couldn’t read what was going on inside that pretty
little head of hers.
Uh-hum .
. . did he say pretty? He’d meant . . . well, he’d meant
something else, that was all.

Amy
loves nothing more than a good book. Except for her family...and
maybe homemade tacos...and nail polish. But reading and writing are
definitely high on the list.
Born
and bred in Mississippi, Amy is a transplanted Southern Belle who now
lives in Oklahoma with her deputy husband, their genius son, two
spoiled cats, and one very lazy beagle. Oh, and don't forget the
stray kitty that has taken up residence on her front porch. ^..^
When
she's not creating happy endings, she's chauffeuring her teen prodigy
to guitar lessons and practice for whatever sport he’s into this
week. She has a variety of hobbies, but her favorite is whatever gets
her out of housework.
