Book Blurb:

Mesa Arraguso writes about hot cowboys for a living. Being a romance writer has it perks and its drawbacks. She spends a lot of time alone in front of her computer, but she gets to fantasize about incredibly hot men wearing cowboy boots and Stetsons. While visiting San Antonio, Texas for a writer’s conference, she finds herself stranded on the back roads of Bandera only to be rescued by one of the most gorgeous men she’s ever encountered, be it fantasy or for real.

Joel Young is a cowboy. From the top of his Stetson to the tip of his dirty cowboy boots, he’s cowboy through and through. Along with rescuing women when they do silly things like running out of gas miles from town on a dirt road, he spends his days herding cattle, fixing fences and breaking horses.

Can one handsome cowboy and a city-girl from LA find common ground is the Hill Country long enough to see beyond a quick fling?



Teaser #1

A moment later a tap, tap, tap on her window startled her out of her thoughts. She jumped and screamed as a face appeared near her door. Blue eyes with long lashes stared back beneath a black cowboy hat. Black hair ruffled slightly with the wind.
“Ma’am? Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
“You need to get this car out of the water. You’ll be washed away. It’s rising fast.”
“I can’t. I’m out of gas.”
“Open the door.”
“Hell, no. Do I look crazy to you?” she asked, her voice shrill with terror.
“Trust me. If I were a serial killer, I wouldn’t be out in this shit trying to find women to abduct. I’m going to help you, but you need to get out of the car first before we’re both swept away.”
Mesa bit her lip. Should she trust him?
“Ma’am?”
“All right.” She eased open the door to find the water almost reached the bottom of the car. The cowboy pulled the door the rest of the way as she grabbed her purse.
“We have to hurry,” he said, offering her a hand to help her from the car. “Let me help you. This water is rushing pretty fast.”
A red horse stood patiently several feet away with its head down, riding out the storm the only way horses knew how. A cowboy on a real horse out here in the middle of nowhere? Surely, it’s safe. I mean serial killers don’t ride horses, right?

Teaser #2

They continued chatting about mundane things as they plodded along. The constant shift of the horse’s rump made her realize how long it had been since she’d ridden. How far was this place anyway? “Joel?”
“Yeah.”
“How much farther?”
“A mile or so.”
“Hell.”
“Somethin’ wrong?”
“I’m gonna feel every step this horse took tomorrow.”
A deep laugh started beneath her fingers and rumbled up his chest until it burst from his lips. “You are too much, Mesa.”
“I’m glad I could make your day,” she grumbled, a little put out by his laughter. “I haven’t been on horseback in ages. My thighs are already screaming mercy.” She felt his body quiver from laughter again. “How do you ride all day without dying?”
“I’m used to it. I ride all day everyday so it doesn't bother me.”
“You live on a working ranch?”
“Yep. Longhorns and city folk.”
“Huh?”
“We have what most folks call a dude ranch. We let people come and stay on the ranch. Do ranch work, ride horses…you know, play at bein’ a cowboy for a while.”
“Really? That sounds like fun.”
“How long are you in town for?”
“The conference is over in a couple of days.”
“So you’re flyin’ or drivin’ home afterward?”
“Flying, yes.”
He got quiet for several minutes as the horse continued to walk along under his expert guiding hand. “What kind of books do you write?”
There it was. “Westerns.”
“Oh yeah? Like cowboys and Indians? Louie L’Amour type stuff?”
She shook her head and almost unseated herself from the back of the horse. A fistful of his shirt kept her in place. “No. Like cowboys and the love of their lives. I write erotic modern westerns.”

  4. Hello Jo-Anna! So nice to "meet" you on this blog tour. The rescue scene in this excerpt sure makes me think the rest of the story will be good too. Love the direct way you write dialogue, Jo-Anna. Plus, I love western romance (contemporary or historical...doesn't matter). A double good reason for getting this book! :-) jdh2690@gmail.com
