About the Book
He’s a tough cowboy with a big heart.
She’s a young woman with a big problem.
If she finds the courage to ask for help, will he step up?
Clint Kincaid Is not your run of the mill cowboy.
The tall, muscled, self-made millionaire owns a chain of western stores, and spends most of his time in an isolated mountain cabin with his dog Buck and his horse Leroy. Late one afternoon, watching the sun drop below the treetops, he’s shocked to see a young woman riding a big-boned grey up the trail to his home.
Tiffany Sullivan is not a typical young woman.
The dark-haired, emerald-eyed beauty has sought out the wealthy cowboy. But it was an arduous journey, and climbing from the saddle her legs buckle beneath her and she tumbles to the ground. When she opens her eyes, she finds the rugged cowboy is carrying her. As she gazes up at his handsome face, he asks why she’s there.
Her nerve fails her, and she lies.
How will she admit the truth?
And what will he do when she does?

Book Excerpt
I wasn’t sure how you wanted me to send this, so it’s here in the body of this email, and attached as a word doc.
Clint couldn’t quite believe she’d challenged him, and for a fleeting moment he thought he’d misheard. But a red flush was crawling across her face.
“You don’t think so?” he retorted, tightening his hold around her waist.
“Well…uh…we just met.”
“And your point is…?”
“I—uh—“
“Tiffany, you narrowly escaped gettin’ your fingers burned real bad. If you haven’t learned your lesson and you reach out and touch that hot stove again, yeah, I’ll put you over my knee in a heartbeat. Or don’t you think I’m a man of my word?”
“I’m sure you are,” she stammered, “but like I said, we just met, I just don’t think…”
“You don’t think I would? How’s this for starters?”
Deftly spinning her around, he landed several hard swats on her backside eliciting a sharp squeal, then swiftly jerked her back against his body.
“Now do you believe me?”
“What the fuck?” she panted, staring up at him with disbelief in her wide eyes.
“Cussin’ won’t help, and Tiffany, you opened that door.”
“I did no such thing.”
“Now you’re just plain lyin, and lyin will get your ass bared and spanked real quick. You wanna rethink what you just said?”
“Uh…”
“You needed to know if I’m for real. That’s why you made that provocative remark. Now you have your answer. Right?”
“I guess…”
“You guess?”
“Okay, yes, you’re right,” she whispered.
With his cock surging to life, he slid his fingers into her hair and tugged back her head.
Her sapphire eyes sparkled up at him.
She was brave, brazen and beautiful.
An intoxicating combination.
Hot chemistry crackled between them, and though he ached to lean in and kiss her, she’d been right about one thing. They’d just met. But just as he was about to release her, she moved her arms around his neck.
“Clint…?”
“What ya doin’?”
“Please will you hold me for a second?”
