This cowboy's handsome, sexy, and
definitely off limits . . .
Walker Everett
spends his days at the Crossroads Ranch wrangling cattle-and steering clear of
anything that would complicate his already too-complicated life. Until Violet
Chastain, the ranch's newest employee, asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend
for her parents' anniversary party. She's the most beautiful woman he's ever
met and needs his help. How can he refuse?
Violet isn't about
to fall for a brooding bad-boy cowboy, no matter how sizzling their chemistry.
But she also never expected Walker to go along with the charade. Before long,
he's charming her parents at their weekly dinners and kissing her way more than
necessary. Spending so much time together tests the limits of their "just
friends" relationship, but what happens when their game of pretend becomes
all too real?
Hard Loving Cowboy is
the final book in the Crossroads Ranch series of standalones.

Excerpt
Intro:
My heroine, Violet, speaks French. Here is where she teaches Walker how to
say To kiss in French...
“To kiss is
embrasser.”
“Em-brah-say,”
he parroted.
Violet
usually hated the way French sounded when a non-native speaker tried it.
Walker didn’t pronounce the words perfectly, but he didn’t butcher them,
either. And somehow he made each one sexier in his own rugged way.
“How would
you—embrasser me?” he added.
She
laughed. “First I’d give you more warning than I did this morning. I’d
say, Je veux t’embrasser, which means I want to kiss you.” And did she ever.
Nothing was more of a tease than being close enough to kiss him, wanting
to kiss him, and not kissing him. How did he exercise such restraint?
Or maybe he
didn’t want her as much as she wanted him.
“Je veux
t’embrasser,” he repeated, his accent a little better this time.
“That’s
good. You’re getting the hang of it.”
“No,”
Walker said. He let his bottom lip brush hers, and she sucked in a breath. “Je.
Veux. T’embrasser.”
Her throat
went bone dry, and she struggled to swallow.
“Then kiss
me already.”
