Ainsley Preacher’s gotten used to being more than Daddy’s little girl and once she gets back to the Texas rodeo circuit, her ex, Kase, intends to find out exactly what that means.

When Ainsley broke up with him a while back, bronc rider Kase just figured it was because he was too wild for that straight-laced girl. Rodeo royalty, Ainsley rarely let her hair down with the other riders, and she let way more than her hair loose with Kase. She ran far enough that Kase couldn’t catch her, but when she returns to the Texas circuit for a few events, Kase notices something new about his ex, and he has to know more.

Ainsley left because she thought Kase had done her wrong, but she’s never gotten over her feelings for him, or what he could do to her body. In fact, she got a tattoo to remember him by, one that she can’t take a chance on anyone in Texas knowing about. So when Kase tells her he wants a peek at her tattoo, and a chance to get back into her life, Ainsley has to hold firm. She doesn’t have the time to end up tied and taken again, right?

Rosie doesn’t date cowboys anymore, not since her husband died. Les, a cowboy to the bone, is ready to convince Rosie to change her mind.

Rosie doesn’t date cowboys. She knows what kind of heartbreak can come when they get seriously injured. Roughstock rider Les is determined to change Rosie’s mind from the moment he gives her his seat on the bus. He knows she’s the one for him—he just has to convince Rosie.

Adding to the difficulty is the fact that Les lives in Colorado and Rosie is in Texas. During rodeo season the distance doesn’t seem so huge, but when winter threatens to lock down Les’ Colorado ranch, how is he going to prove to Rosie that he’s worth the chances she has to take?

  • City Country

Traditional cowboy Cotton and tattooed Emmy couldn’t be more different. That’s part of their attraction, but different worlds can make for a lot of heartache.

Emmy doesn’t really like cowboys. She might be from Texas, but she’s a city girl, truly invested in keeping Austin weird, just like the slogan says. With her corsets and tattoos, she stands out at the western bar where she ends up after being abandoned by her friends. That might be why she catches the attention of Cotton, who’s a bull rider by trade, and definitely a cowboy. Cotton thinks Emmy might be the most fascinating girl he’s ever met. She’s not a cowgirl, and she’s not model skinny, but she’s beautiful and smart and he wants her like he’s never wanted anything before.

As one date turns into months of seeing each other in between bull riding events, Cotton starts to think that Emmy is the all-important One. Cotton’s friends and family might not be so sure, though. As Emmy’s life starts to unravel around her, Cotton has to fight his fears and his confusion to prove to Emmy that city and country might just be able to work after all.

Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series. If you're following the Roughstock series, as well as the Roughstock Sweethearts series, this book is best read as a sequel to And A Smile and File Gumbo, which are due to be released by Pride Publishing later in the year.

Publisher's Note: This book was previously published elsewhere. It has been revised and re-edited for release with Totally Bound Publishing.

A Turquoise, New Mexico, Story

Once upon a time, a prince lived in a magical kingdom called Turquoise, New Mexico.

In reality, TJ is a small-town police chief. Every Friday he holds court in the diner with the local holy roller, the art colonists, and the horsey people. But the Benes, who own the rodeo company, keep to themselves. TJ knows, because he was once hot and heavy with the oldest Bene son, Wacey.

When Wacey Bene gets trampled on the rodeo trail and comes home to heal, he’s none too happy to run into TJ, or his two little boys. Or the boys' mom, who seems to still be in the picture. The story might end there—if it wasn’t that everything is not as it seems, oh, and some pesky bastard trying to kill Wacey.

TJ steps in as the law, and the townsfolk gather around to support their own. But once the bad guy is put away, can TJ and Wacey make their place in this wild and eccentric town a permanent one?

A little bundle of joy means big changes.

Hoss McMasters has a working ranch, a bull riding career, a nosy momma, and a best friend he’s been in love with since he can remember. He’s a busy, happy cowboy, living the good life.

Then one morning he discovers a baby on his doorstep.

Well, Hoss does what any reasonable man would do—he calls his momma and his buddy, Sheriff Pooter, and they head to the clinic to see if Doc knows of any suddenly not-so-pregnant girls.

In the meantime, Hoss and his best friend, Bradley, have their hands full trying to care for an infant, run a ranch, and deal with the sudden confession that Bradley doesn’t hate Hoss for coming out to him in high school. In fact, Bradley’s been trying to catch Hoss’s attention for damn near a decade.
