      Cowboy for hire

      Pro bull rider Cal Lincoln is back home in Coyote Creek, Texas, recovering from an injury and bored out of his mind. Then she walks in—a stunning brunette with sinfully kissable lips. She was definitely not a local. Suddenly things are lookin’ up...

      Maggie Stanton can’t let herself—or her starved libido—get distracted by a broad-shouldered cowboy with a sexy-as-all-hell smile. She needs to fix up the dilapidated ranch she’s inherited and sell it fast. If that means hiring Cal to help, she will—temptation be damned. But she and Cal can’t deny their attraction and agree to work hard on the ranch during the day and then play hard at night. Even knowing that every wild rodeo ride usually ends with someone getting hurt.

      “You know what’s sexy?”

      Cal dragged one finger across Maggie’s lips. It was the single sexiest move she’d ever experienced. “These lips.”

      Maggie swallowed hard. “Uh...”

      “No, don’t say it,” he said, running his finger lightly back across her bottom lip. “I know you think it’s a bad idea to mix business and pleasure, Maggie. Thing is, I don’t really care.”

      He slid his hand across her jaw and cupped the back of her head, his fingers tangling in the hair pulled tight in her ponytail. Tilting her head back, he studied her face.

      And she studied his. Long dark eyelashes totally wasted on a man framed eyes the color of a Caribbean surf. Lean jaw, firm chin and those damn lips she wanted to feel on her body...everywhere.

      “I don’t need this job, Maggie.”

      She inhaled deeply. “So why did you take it?”

      “For this,” he said, and lowered his head, his lips covering hers...

      Dear Reader,

      My first published book was set in Texas, and I’m happy to return to the Lone Star state in Cowboy Crush. There’s something about a cowboy, right? That lazy walk, wide smile and worn blue jeans make a girl’s heart gallop. Bull rider Cal Lincoln is definitely dangerous to the heart—he’s naughty and bored, which means he’s primed for the pretty city slicker who inherits a run-down ranch in the middle of nowhere.

      Poor Maggie Stanton. The Triple J is supposed to be a piece of heaven on earth, but the gaping windows, leaking roof and feral cat problem say otherwise. She can sell the property, but first she’ll have to do some repairs...and luckily the sexy cowboy recovering from surgery is available to lend a hand. Working hard is only tolerable when a gal can play hard, and Cal’s also more than willing to be Maggie’s playground. But what happens when fun turns into something more lasting? And a ranch turns into a home?

      Good things—I know because I wrote the ending!

      So I would love to hear what you think about Maggie and Cal. You can find me at liztalleybooks.com or come like my page on Facebook at liztalleybooks.

      Happy reading,
