Praise

“The second entry in Drake’s Sweet on a Cowboy series (after The Sweet Spot) is another character-driven contemporary western with more heart than heat."
-Publishers Weekly

‘Touchingly real. Tender and timely. Laura Drake crates characters you know you’ve met and you have to root for."
-Pamela Morsi

"Drake writes excellent contemporary Westerns that show the real American West – not a dude ranch fantasy. Her characters illustrate the problems, changes and bedrock strengths of ranchers and their communities. This one’s not to be missed."
-RT Reviews


Excerpt

“Cowboy up, big guy. It’s not that cold.” Bree taunted, hip deep in the shallows.

He swam to her, dove under the surface, grabbed her ankles and jerked. With a “Whoop!” she lost her balance and fell backwards. He walked his hands up her body, until she lie cradled in his arms.

She laughed up at him, water sparkling on her skin. As she sobered, her whiskey eyes grew dark. He bent to taste the water and sunlight on her lips. No reason to rush. They had all afternoon. She opened to him and his tongue met hers in a greeting that sent shivers through him.

She asked, “Are you cold?”

He growled out, “Not with you in my arms, Darlin’.” He lowered his head once more. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned into his mouth as his hands wandered over her just submerged breasts. He pinched her nipples, and she squeaked, but then arched to his hands for more. God, I don’t know what I did to deserve a woman like this, but I promise to do more of it in the future.
