Wind River
Wrangler
by Lindsay McKenna
GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
From
the moment Roan Taggart picked up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole
airport, his training and experience told him she was spooked. She’s left New
York City to visit the Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as
he can pick up a horse’s mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body. And
that vulnerability is triggering all his protective instincts . . .
Shiloh
Gallagher likes the gray-eyed cowboy’s dry humor—and the Special Forces
background that lends him a stoic, powerful presence. But she’s been scarred by
trauma and her mother’s murder . . . and knows a strong man can be dangerous.
She came to wide-open Wyoming to flee a threat that’s left her unable to write
her novels. Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated
cabin, she’s slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west,
and they won’t have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past
. . .

EXCERPT:
“You’re
afraid.”
Roan’s
low deep voice flowed through her wall of fear. She saw questions in his eyes.
What was she afraid of? “Not of you.”
Nodding,
Roan cupped her hands within his spare ones, studying them. “The fear you have
is deep, Shiloh.”
“It
has nothing to do with you.” She saw that hooked, one-cornered smile tug at his
mouth. His eyes never left hers; as if he were memorizing her, burning her into
his mind, his heart. His soul? She didn’t want to go there. Didn’t want to
think beyond tonight.
“I
think it does.”
Her
lips thinned and she looked away, feeling the roughness of his fingers upon
hers. Her flesh was starving for his touch, tiny jolts of heat flying
continuously up her hand and into her wrist as he gently moved them within his
fingers. He handled her as if she were a priceless, fragile being who might
shatter if touched wrongly. Forcing herself to look up at Roan, she saw his
eyes had grown gentle with questions once more. The man inspired trust. Now she
was getting a taste of what he’d said earlier about villagers trusting the
A-team members. Roan cultivated it like breathing.
“I—”
she stumbled, frowning. Shiloh felt ashamed in even admitting it to Roan, but
she pushed herself because he was a man of honor. He presented himself exactly
as he was. No games. No mask. No charade. Roan deserved her honesty. “I don’t
have a good track record with men,” she began in a halting voice. “At a certain
point, I break it off...” Shame swallowed her whole and she couldn’t hold the
sympathetic look that she saw come to Roan’s gray eyes.
“Is
that a promise? Or is it a warning, Darlin’?”
