Cowboys are my heroes!
Amazon bestselling author, Maddie James
Good morning! My last featured book in the UNFORGETTABLE HEROES boxed set is, well, mine! Rawhide and Roses, a contemporary western novel, is one of my best sellers. If you download the set, I hope you enjoy! Here is the book description:
Rawhide and Roses—She’s roses, he’s rough-and-ready rawhide.
Kim Martin is hardly equipped for a Colorado camping trip, especially when her
mountain guide is a rough-edged cowboy who is as untamed as the wilderness.
Thad Winchester’s patience for city women is wearing as thin as the seat of his
jeans. But there is something about Kim that puts his hard-and-fast don’t-touch
rule to the test.
And the opening scene:
This all boils down to one thing—cowboy
lust, pure and simple.
Kim Martin
squinted, staring ahead at the string of horses leading up the mountain. She
didn’t see the pines, or the azure sky, the big white puffy clouds, or the
snow-topped Rockies in the background. No, all
she saw in front of her was a bunch of horse’s asses—and cowboys. Which may, or
may not, be one and the same.
“Of all the
things I thought I’d be doing this summer,” she muttered, “spending two hours
staring at a horse’s butt certainly wasn’t on the list.”
She leaned down
to pat her mount on the neck, hoping that if she was nice to the old nag, she
would be nice to her. She grimaced and cooed encouraging words to the huge roan
mare—
Or were they to
herself?
“Just keep your
sweet nose in that horse’s tail, honey, and everything will be just fine.”
“What?”
Kim glanced one
horse up to her best friend Jillie, and tossed her a fake smile. “Just talking
to good ol’ Rosie here. We’re becoming fast friends.”
“Good.”
Jillie smiled
and turned to face the string of horses. “See, I told you it would be easy,”
she threw over her shoulder. “They’re like robots. Nose-to-tail, down the
trail.”
Kim made a
face. Jillie was an accomplished horsewoman; she’d learned from her father who
exercised thoroughbreds back in Kentucky .
Kim didn’t know diddly-squat about horses. She was more accustomed to betting
on thoroughbreds at Keeneland, or handing out trophies at the Junior League
horse show, than sitting on the back of one of the beasts and actually riding.
How did she get talked into this?
How in the
world had they gone from high school teachers to cowgirl wannabes all in the
same afternoon?
The teacher’s
conference. The reason they’d come to Colorado .
Where they should be right now. But Jillie had this thing for horses, not to
mention cowboys....
Kim couldn’t
care less about any old cowboy. She was a born-and-bred city girl. One used to
the finer points in life. And she liked her men the same way. Civilized.
She sucked in a
cleansing breath. She’d made it this far, certainly the rest couldn’t be that
bad. Glancing at her watch, she realized the corral was only fifteen minutes
behind them. But the ride was two hours long! Two long, insufferable hours on
the back of this piece of smelly horseflesh. She sneered at Jillie, who was totally
at home on her horse’s back.
Kim felt
ridiculously out of place.
Her chin length
blonde bob fluttered about her face. Risking letting go of the tight grip she
had on the reins, she tucked each side behind an ear.
How did I get into this? Bribery, pure and
simple. And cowboy lust.
Kim loved
Jillie dearly. In short, she’d do just about anything for her. Jillie had
whined the entire evening before about a trail ride and Kim? Well, she’d caved.
Big time.
Rosie lifted
her head and impatiently shook it back and forth. A burst of adrenaline shot
through her. Muffin, Jillie’s horse, had picked up a little speed and put
several feet between them. Rosie’s sonar kicked in and she loped toward Muffin’s
tail. Kim bounced nervously in the saddle and tightened her grip on the reins
as Rosie sped forward.
She wished she
hadn’t lied about having ridden a horse before.
“Speak of the
devil,” she mumbled as the cowboy she’d lied to rode closer. Kim hoped he wasn’t
the one who’d put a hand to her rear, helping her into the saddle as she
struggled to get a foothold in the stirrup. She’d nearly sailed over to the
other side. Jillie had laughed hysterically. Kim’s cheeks grew hot at the
memory.
She really hadn’t
thought it funny.
The cowboy
tipped his hat to Jillie, then glanced back at Kim. “Everything all right back
here, ladies?”
She eyed him
curiously as Jillie struck up conversation. Casual, friendly, familiar
conversation… Jillie laughed out loud, shaking Kim out of a momentary trance. She
looked into her friend’s face.
Something’s fishy, here.
“What?” Jillie
must have asked her a question, for it seemed she was expecting an answer.
The cowboy
chuckled.
“Oh, nothing,” her
friend returned. “I was just sharing with Mack here your equine-phobia.”
Mack?
Kim tightened
her grip on Rosie’s reins and straightened her back. “Oh, and I suppose you
think that’s funny?” She risked letting go of the reins a second while reaching
to rub Rosie’s neck. See, she wasn’t afraid.
Jillie shook
her head. “No, not that. He was telling me about a man they had here last week.
Tumbled right off his horse and rolled down the mountain a few feet. I told him
I hoped that didn’t happen to you.”
Kim gave her a
saccharin-sweet smile.” Thank you very much, but I fail to see the humor.”
Mack pulled his
mount closer. “Don’t worry, I’m watching the back of the trail. Lean forward
when we go uphill, lean back in the saddle when we go down. Let Rosie guide
you. She knows what to do.” He started to turn away. “Oh, and keep her right behind
Muffin and don’t let her stop to eat. We lost the last rider who did that.”
A wry grin
broke his face, then he glanced back at Jillie who flashed him a healthy smile.
He tipped his hat to Kim before he turned his horse around and started toward
the middle of the string. Kim turned her gaze on her so-called friend.
What’s going on here?
She kept the
thought to herself. “Cute, Jillie. Now everyone will know I’m a novice.”
“Honey,
everyone knew you were a novice the moment you put your little Skecher-clad
foot in the stirrup.”
“Ha, ha.” Kim
let her gaze fall from Jillie’s face to the pack of horses in front of her. She
couldn’t help it if she didn’t own a pair of riding boots, could she? Her
Skechers were as close to sporty as she owned.
“Isn’t he cute?”
Jillie tossed over her shoulder, her gaze riveted to the cowboy.
“What? Who?”
“Mack.”
Mack? And when
did you make this intimate acquaintance, my friend?
“Oh. Yeah. I
guess.” For a cowboy. She huffed out an exasperated breath. Cowboys, in her
limited experience, were not cute. They were scruffy and dirty and rude and
ill-mannered.
“The other one’s
cute too, don’t you think?”
Other one? “Who?” She was beginning to
sound like an owl.
“You know. Thad
Winchester. The cowboy way up there in the front, leading us up into the
mountain.”
She glanced to
the lead horse. Ah, yes. Thad Winchester. The owner of the ranch and their
leader extraordinaire. He’d certainly left a lasting impression before they’d
started out. To say the least, she wasn’t impressed. He was about as cute as a
porcupine and as gruff as an old grizzly. Too business-like. The way he’d
shouted instructions before they’d started the trail ride, you’d have thought
they were getting ready to head into battle, or something.
“So what do you
think of him?” Jillie asked.
“I don’t think
about him.”
“C’mon, Kim,
you know what I mean.”
Rolling her
eyes, she returned, “I imagine he’s about as tough as an old armadillo,” she
muttered. “Cute just doesn’t jump into my mind when I look at him.”
Jillie ignored
her. “Mack says their good friends. Maybe after the trail ride, the four of us
could—”
Kim risked
lifting her right hand into the air. “Whoa. You’re not doing this to me,
Jillie. When we get out of here I’ve got a date with a hot bubble bath and a
pint of Double Fudge Ripple. You’re not setting me up with half of the
cowboy-stud-twosome from Durango .”
Jillie turned
in her saddle.” But they’re cowboys, Kim. Honest to God cowboys.”
“Forget it.”
Kim didn’t give
two hoots about any old cowboy. She’d take a suit and tie and wing tips any
day. She liked a man to smell of after-shave, new leather, and squeaky clean
soap. She liked a man to drive a sleek sports car, shiny and smooth, not
straddle the back of an animal.
Kim required
polish. Sophistication. A glimmering diamond. Preferably one who came bearing
roses.
Thad Winchester
just didn’t fit the bill.

Renee Vincent's SILENT PARTNER, today's featured UNFORGETTABLE HERO
Renee Vincent, award winning
author of historical and contemporary romance.
Today's unforgettable hero comes from Renee Vincent, and her book Silent Partner. This book is Renee's debut book into writing contemporary romance, after having penned the successful Emerald Isle Trilogy, and launching her Viking historical romance series.
Silent Partner is about Grayson Anders, a
talented Latin-style dancer and wealthy co-owner of a happening nightclub.
Chloe LaRoche is a talented artist, but failing entrepreneur with her once
thriving studio now on the brink of foreclosure. When the two indulge in a
passionate, out-of-control, one night stand, they awaken the next morning
consumed with inspiration. Grayson finds his perfect dance partner while Chloe
finally finds her muse. Will her secret destroy both their dreams?
There he
was.
Shaking
his cute little ass on the dance floor of Gyrations,
the hippest night club in downtown Boston, amid a flock of beautiful women.
Chloe had
first noticed him, chatting with the bartender, when she entered the strobe-lit
room and wandered up to the bar. Their discussion looked important since they
were both hovered over a business calendar. But, once a change of song had happened,
he skirted away from the conversation with a look of intent on his face—probably
to score one of the many loose women who had caught his eye earlier in the
night.
She
couldn’t tell which one he was looking to get lucky with as there were so many
dancing around him, their barely-there clothes shimmering underneath the
illuminating black light, each one competing for his attention. She didn’t
blame them. He was quite possibly the sexiest man she’d ever seen.
He wore
sleek, black, painted-on leather pants, a tight white tank, and a
have-your-fill-of-me grin on his handsome face. He was enjoying himself—that
was for certain—as he moved his body to the beat of the booming bass, his hips
looking as if they were dislocated from the rest of him.
Oh, he
knew how to dance—quite well—and he was not afraid to show it among the many
who crammed into the joint. In fact, he held many people’s attention—not just
hers—as if he had a reputation to live up to. As if the status of ‘the best
male dancer’ was up for grabs.
She
didn’t think there was such an event going on at the crowded nightspot, but she
would definitely cast her vote in his favor if there was. No one in the place
could even come close to matching his abilities. His steps were graceful, his rhythm
was spot on, and his lithe muscular body moved in ways she didn’t think
possible. His hips entranced every female in the club, and probably infuriated
every male who was left holding up the bar.
Chloe
gazed around the trendy, atmospheric room and took in the many grievous faces
of the men standing in random corners, drinks in hand, their attention focused.
She assumed they were all either watching Casanova
in hopes of learning something, or, more likely, waiting for him to make a move
on their girlfriends just so they could have a reason to open a can of whup-ass
and vent their jealousies.
As she
glanced back at Mr. Gyration, he was
now grinding against some blonde’s tight-jeaned derriere, his hands on her hips
as though he was having sex with her. She noticed the bimbo’s expressive face,
her lips parted and her eyes half-closed from the pleasures he was dishing out,
and it was obvious the girl wished he’d get into her pants before the night was
over.
Chloe
sighed and looked away, tossing back a shot of Tequila, knowing the only way
she was going to get ‘lucky’ tonight was if she awoke tomorrow morning without
a horrendous hangover. At this point in the game, she didn’t look beyond her
next shot, and let the burn of the alcohol soothe her troubled mind.
She was
two drinks in and raised her hand for another.
The
bartender, cool and confident, opened the broad-bottomed bottle of Patrón and
leaned toward her, his weight casually resting on one elbow. “You sure ‘bout
this, honey?”
Of
course she was sure. She wouldn’t have ordered it to begin with had she been
apprehensive about the drink’s potential. She knew well what the hard liquor
could do, and since she was there for one thing and one thing only, she had
high hopes it would soon help her to forget her worries and drown her stress.
She was
an artist—a starving artist. If she didn’t find a way to sell more of her
paintings, she was going to lose everything. Her shop. Her home. Her life.
Every little
bit of her savings had gone toward the funding of her big dream. And for a
while, things looked promising. Her paintings were moving out the door on a relatively
regular basis. Her biggest clients had been young, wealthy doctors and lawyers
who aimed to spruce up their bachelor penthouse pads with risqué nudity in an
artistic form. On occasion, she had even locked in a few hairdressers who
wanted the more tasteful pieces for their salons.
But
those avenues had soon run dry.
Word of
mouth had only gone so far, and with the changing economy, no one was willing
to spend their hard-earned money on needless fine art. If she didn’t figure out
a way to stimulate the public’s senses enough to open their wallets, she would
have to give up her small independent business and kiss her entrepreneur life
goodbye.
With a
flip of her hand, she gestured for the concerned bartender to pour another
shot, fixed on the goal of drinking away her problems.
“This
may look like water, darlin’, and go down just as smooth, but it ain’t so easy
on the body once it hits your head.” He looked her over, as if measuring her
determination, and after a few seconds, he popped the cork-lined glass top.
“What do I care, huh? As long as you’re paying…”
“You
shouldn’t care at all, Jack, especially if I’m footing the bill. And make that
two.”
Chloe looked
to her left upon feeling something brush against her arm. To her surprise, it
was Mr. Gyration, flipping a twenty
on the bar.
Her
stomach fluttered and she lost all sense of herself. Being on the receiving end
of that cocky smile really did a number on her heart. As her breath staggered
out of her, all she could do was smile in return.
She
glanced at the crisp Jackson resting next to her shot glass, appreciative of
his generosity. At least he was trying to be a gentleman, which was completely
opposite of the impression he had made on her from the dance floor. She could
only hope he’d continue to be that way, for she had no intention of tolerating
anything less.
“You’re
a pretty little thing,” he said, leaning against the bar. “A girl like you
shouldn’t be anywhere alone. Especially here.”
“Easy Don Juan,” Jack interrupted as he
slammed another shot of Tequila on the slick lacquered wood of the bar. “She’s
new.”
“I can
see that.”
Chloe
had to look away. His devilish smile was too much to handle. And even though a
warning had slipped from the bartender’s lips, Mr. Gyration didn’t seem to care. He stared at her with such
hunger, she half expected him to growl like an animal if some other man-whore
got too close.

Can love be measured in frequent flier miles? LONG DISTANCE LOVE by Margaret Ethridge
Margaret Ethridge,
contemporary romance fan favorite and TMP top-selling author of Commitment.
I have been in love with Jack and Ellie, from Margaret Ethridge's Long Distance Love, when I read her first short story featuring the couple a few years back. A series of short stories later, and the novel Long Distance Love was born, telling the story of love "on the fly."
Long Distance Love—Sometimes the distance between two hearts can be measured in frequent
flier miles. Love may be a many splendored thing, but it’s rarely convenient.
Can FBI Agent Jack Rudolph and fiercely independent Ellie Nichols find a way to
make a long distance relationship work?
An excerpt from Concourse Christmas:
How can something so
beautiful be such a pain in the ass?
A torrent of fat flakes
tumbled past soundproof glass. Ellie Nichols squinted, staring past her own
reflection into the curtain of falling snow. An ever-thickening layer of white
covered the tarmac and blanketed the hulking shape of the abandoned plane at the
end of the Jetway.
She heaved a heavy sigh, her
fingers tightening around her cell phone. The smooth plastic casing slid in her
sweaty palm. Ellie dragged her gaze from the desolate scene, sneaking a quick
glance out of the corner of her eye at the man seated across the crowded
waiting area.
Creepy or cute?
She feigned interest in the
television monitor mounted in the corner. The closed captioning scrolled across
the bottom of the screen. A well-groomed man in a sharp suit waved a futile
hand at the map, no doubt bemoaning his ineptitude in predicting the Canadian
cold front that precipitated this Christmas Eve storm.
She huffed and turned back
to the window. Another ten gazillion flakes drifted to the ground, each one
unique, and each one seemingly hell bent on keeping her from reaching Chicago.
Ellie smirked. Yeah, it’s
all about me.
She stole another peek at
the guy down the row. His legs were crossed at the ankles. Scuffed brown shoes
the size of small pleasure crafts anchored him to the floor. Mile-and-a-half-long
legs encased in faded jeans stretched across the aisle. A cranberry colored
Henley spanned broad shoulders, the pushed up sleeves revealing strong forearms
crossed over a nicely muscled chest. Her gaze traveled a little higher. He was
staring straight at her. Again.
Okay, creepy.
Ellie met his stare head-on.
She was rewarded with a pink flush that lit the tips of his ears and seeped
into his cheeks.
Oh, cute.
She blinked and refocused
her attention to the monitor just beyond the cute guy’s shoulder. Her phone
vibrated, making her jump. She fumbled with the phone as a tinny version of
Mariah Carey’s ‘All I want for Christmas Is You’ rang out.
“Hello?” She shook her head
and glanced at the departure monitor again. “No, still delayed, Mom.”
Her mother launched into a
bleak weather report from the Windy City. Ducking her head, Ellie gnawed her
bottom lip as she battled back a wave of frustration and disappointment.
“Okay, well, nothing’s been
canceled yet.” She hazarded another glance at the screen and clung to her last
shred of hope. “I’ll keep you posted,” she promised before ending the call.
Ellie’s stomach growled. She
checked the time, tucked the phone into her handbag, and stood, tugging the hem
of her sweater over her hips.
The tiny hairs at the nape
of her neck prickled. Ellie didn’t need to sneak another peek to know the guy
was watching her when she reached for her carry-on bag. The handle snapped into
place. Her fingers curled around smooth plastic and she mustered up a little
bravado.
Like what you see, Mr.
Talldarkandlackinginsocialskills?
She boldly met his eyes when
she passed, and apparently he did like. The heat of his gaze followed her from
the seating area. Ellie tossed her head as she waded into the milling crowd on
the concourse, a pang of regret sharpening the hunger pangs needling her
stomach. The haircut had been an impulse—a lark, a declaration of
independence—but for the first time in two weeks she missed having a curtain of
hair to hide behind.
****
Jack tensed when the young
woman in the bright green sweater skirted his outstretched legs. He stared
after her. He couldn’t stop staring at her, and staring at her was driving him
crazy. He wanted to chalk his interest up to boredom, but he found cataloging
her every movement and mannerism far too captivating to be bored.
The fascination baffled him.
She wasn’t his type at all. He liked his women long-stemmed and light—both in
appearance and in attitude. With her close-cropped cap of dark hair, clingy
green sweater, and thick-fringed emerald stare, this girl looked more like a
Christmas elf.
She’s no bigger than an elf.
He eyed the petite woman
teetering down the concourse. His mouth watered. Without conscious thought, his
knees bent. The soles of his shoes hit the floor and he stood. As if an
invisible fishing line tugged at his belt buckle, he took off after her.
Way to take the bait, buddy.
Hook, line, and sinker.
Tall leather boots with
toothpick heels molded to shapely calves. He envied that soft, supple leather.
An unbearable surge of jealousy washed through him when he noted the way the
long, snug sweater cupped her delectable bottom. She weaved her way toward a
stand of fast-food outlets and he followed, mesmerized by the gentle undulation
of rounded hips.
She barely spared him a
glance when he strolled into the food court. Instead, she studied the lighted
menu above the sub sandwich counter with an intensity that made him smile. Jack
slipped into the line extending from the miniature Burger King counter, hanging
back just enough to be able to keep an eye on her.
Twenty-five? Thirty?
She frowned. Her fingers
fluttered through her hair.
No ring.
She pulled her wallet from
the bag and tucked her chin to her chest as she thumbed through its contents.
Oh, God, is that a birthmark
behind her ear?
Until that moment, he’d
never been a fan of short hair on a woman, but that tiny strawberry smudge
behind her right ear changed his opinion irrevocably. As if sensing his stare,
she glanced at him. He almost tripped over his own feet in his haste to turn
away.
Good. Nice and smooth. She’ll
be filing stalking charges within the hour.
Jack stared at the menu
board, steadfastly refusing to risk another peek for a full two minutes. She
stepped up to the counter and began to order. He moved to his left, straining
to pick up the sound of her voice amidst the hubbub. He shifted a little more
but had to jump back when the man ahead of him tried to run over Jack’s foot
with a roller bag.
The woman at the counter
looked at him expectantly. The teenager in line with him muttered, “You gonna
order or what?”
He ordered his usual combo
number by rote. Once his receipt was in hand, Jack carefully walked to the
opposite side of the common beverage station, determined to put a half-dozen
travelers and an island of carbonated syrup between them while he waited for
his dinner.
Jack pretended not to notice
when she claimed her sandwich. He told himself the click-click-click of heels
and wheels on the tile floor could belong to anyone. He sternly reminded
himself that there was nothing interesting about the tumble of ice cubes
falling from the dispenser, and absolutely nothing sexy about the soft psssht
the beverage fountain released.
Get a grip, Jackie. A grip.
Boy, I’d like to get a grip. I’d unwrap that pretty little package….
“Dude, your food!” The lanky
teenager nudged Jack’s arm with his bony elbow.
Jack grunted. “Dude, I’ve
got it.” He surged forward to retrieve the bag and cup the counter attendant
waved in his direction. Still muttering under his breath, he filled the cup
with enough ice to sink the Titanic and chose the least caffeinated drink
available in hopes of calming his jangled nerves.
He zigzagged his way through
the lines of hungry passengers to the dining area strung along the edge of the
concourse. Every table was taken. Only three chairs remained unclaimed, and one
of them happened to be opposite his elf.
Jack closed his eyes and
drew a deep breath. “Well, it’s no star in the East, but what can you do?” he
muttered under his breath.
****
“Is this seat taken?”
Absorbed in the task of
redistributing the mayonnaise on her sandwich with a plastic fork, Ellie jumped
when she realized the question had been directed at her. She looked up and her
eyes widened in surprise as she spotted Mr. Talldarkandnotsosmooth leaning
close.
She reared back slightly,
staring into the deepest, darkest bittersweet-chocolate-brown eyes she’d ever
seen. Ellie groped for her voice and found it lodged somewhere in her throat.
She swallowed hard then murmured, “That depends.”
Thick eyebrows rose. “On?”
“Are you going to keep
staring at me while I’m trying to eat?”
A delicate pink rose high in
his cheeks, contrasting with the coarse black stubble that shadowed his jaw. A
wide, blindingly white smile revealed a devastating dimple.
“I can’t guarantee that I
won’t.”
Ellie glanced down at the
partially disassembled sandwich spread on the wrapper in front of her. She
caught her bottom lip between her teeth and attempted a nonchalant shrug,
pulling the wrapper a little closer to free up a few more inches of space.
“Well, you can tell me if I
get mayonnaise on my chin.”
“I will. I promise.” He slid
into the chair across from her, depositing his bag and cup and groaning as his
laptop bag slithered to the ground at his feet. He nodded to the nearest gate
area. “What a mess, huh?”
Ellie busied herself with
the precise realignment of three anemic-looking tomato slices. “Yep.”
Mr. Talldarkanddimpled
extracted a cardboard sandwich box and a giant container of fries from the bag.
Ellie watched through lowered lashes as he tore into packet after packet of
ketchup, pooling their contents on a raft of paper napkins.
“Where are you headed?” he
asked.
She looked up, arching one
challenging eyebrow. “Home for Christmas.”
He chuckled and shook his
head. A self-deprecating smile made that dimple wink at her again. Mr.
Talldarkcondimentabuser wiped his fingers on another napkin and extended his
hand.
“I’m Jack Rudolph.”
Ellie eyed that large hand
speculatively. His long fingers reached for her, his broad palm exposed and
vulnerable. She glanced up and he twitched one eyebrow in silent challenge. She
placed her hand in his. Those long, strong fingers closed around hers. He didn’t
release her right away, so she fell back on the only weapon a vertically
challenged woman has when faced with a formidable opponent and without a shield
of hair to flip.
“Rudolph?” She blinked at
him then fluttered her lashes. “Can I bribe you to guide my sleigh tonight?”
His deep, easy laugh rumbled
through her. “Possibly,” he answered with a grin.
Ellie extracted her hand
from his grasp. Her grandmother’s voice echoed in her head.
Good Lord, Eleanor, would it
kill you to be a little friendly? You’re far too prickly for such a pretty
girl. You’re thirty-two years old. Aren’t you ever going to get married?
Her ears burned. A rush of
shame and humiliation raced through her veins. She fumbled with her sub
sandwich, slapping both halves back together then flattening one with the palm
of her hand.
“I’m sorry. I bet you got
that a lot when you were a kid,” she murmured, sneaking a peek at him through
her lashes.
A slow, wicked smile curved
his lips. Her throat went dry but she’d swear her bones melted into a steaming
pool of goo. His chuckle steamrolled whatever was left. “A few times, but I
have to admit I’m tempted to try it for you.”
