Diana Palmer returns to the Cowboy State with a brand-new tale of desire and
deception
Cultivating his vast Wyoming ranch is all
security expert J. C. Calhoun wants. His land is the only thing the betrayed
rancher can trust in after discovering his fiancee was pregnant by another man.
But all J.C. holds dear becomes compromised when a lost little girl leads him
to Colie Jackson, the woman who destroyed his life.
Colie stops at nothing to protect the people
she loves. Years ago she left J.C. for his own good. Now, for the sake of her
daughter, she must depend on a hard-hearted man who won't forgive her. As a
band of ruthless criminals tracks their every move through the frozen Wyoming
winter, Colie and J.C. will be forced to confront the lies that separated
them--and the startling truth that will bind them forever...
Excerpt:
J.C. looked incredibly handsome in a
shepherd’s coat, jeans and boots, with snow dusting his thick, black, uncovered
hair.
“You never wear a hat,” Colie mused,
trying not to let her hands tremble as she took the coat to hang up for him. He
was so tall that she had to stand on her tiptoes to pull it back off his
shoulders.
“I hate hats,” he remarked. He glanced at
her as she put the coat on the rack in the hall, his pale gray eyes narrow and
appraising on her slender, sexy body. She dressed like a lady, but he knew all
about women who put on their best behavior around company. She was just out of
school; college, he was certain, because she had to be at least twenty-two or
twenty-three. Catelow had several thousand people, and J.C. didn’t mix with
them. He only knew what Rodney told him about his sister. And that wasn’t much.
“I noticed,” Colie said as she turned,
smiling.
His eyes flickered down to her pert
breasts and he fought down a raging hunger that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
He had women, but this one stirred him in a different way. He couldn’t explain
how, exactly. It irritated him and he scowled.
“It wasn’t a complaint,” Colie added
quickly, not understanding the scowl.
He shrugged. “No problem. What are we
eating?”
“Leftover turkey with cranberry sauce,
mashed potatoes, salad and apple pie.” She hesitated, insecure. “Is that
okay?”
He smiled, his perfect white teeth visible
under chiseled, sensuous lips. “It’s great. I love turkey.” He chuckled. “I
like chicken, too, although I usually get mine in a bucket.”
Her eyes widened. “You put it in a pail,
like you milk cows with?” she asked, shocked.
He glowered at her. “There’s this chicken
place. They sell you chicken and biscuits and sides…”
She went red as fire. “Oh, gosh, sorry,
wasn’t thinking,” she stammered. “Let’s go in! Daddy’s already at the table.”
Rodney went ahead, but J.C. slid a long
finger inside the back of Colie’s sweater and gently stopped her. He moved
forward, so that she could feel the heat and power of him at her back in a way
that made her heart run wild, her knees shiver. “I was teasing,” he whispered right
next to her ear. His lips brushed it.
Her intake of breath was visible. Her
whole body felt shaky.
His big hands caught her shoulders and
held her there while his lips traveled down the side of her throat in a lazy,
whispery caress that caused her to melt inside.
“Do you like movies?” he whispered.
“Well, yes…”
“There’s a new comedy at the theater
Saturday. Go with me. We’ll have supper at the fish place on the way.”
She turned, shocked. “You…you want to go
out with me?” she asked, her green eyes wide and full of delight.
He smiled slowly. “Yes. I want to go out
with you.”
“Saturday?”
He nodded.
“What time?”
“We’ll leave about five.”
“That would be lovely,” she said, drowning
in his eyes, on fire with the joy he’d just kindled in her with the unexpected
invitation.
“Lovely,” he murmured, but he was looking
at her mouth.
