  INTRODUCING MY STANDALONE CONTEMPORARY ROMANCES:

  BRONCO:

  SUMMER

  Two people I trusted betrayed me.

  Because of that, I don’t ever want a relationship again.

  But I can’t stop looking at Jake.

  He’s not just a cowboy.

  He’s the devil with blue eyes and hard muscles.

  I don’t want to want him.

  But I do. Badly.

  JAKE

  It was lust at first sight.

  She’s a spoiled Back East girl but an elite horsewoman.

  My boss says Summer is off-limits but that just makes me want her even more.

  She’s all wrong for me, but I can’t stop thinking about what could be.

  Temptation never tasted so sweet.

  THE HANDBOOK:

  NIKKI

  This year, college is the school of hard knocks and I seem to be the perfect example of why Mars and Venus can't play nice with each other. Dumped by my longtime boyfriend, I'm not exactly having the greatest year of my life.

  But thanks to The Femme Fatale Handbook, a handwritten notebook I found buried in the annals of the library, things are about to change. I'm taking the notebook's advice about how to become the ultimate seductress and I'm running with it. There is no way that I will ever grant another man the ability to break my heart.

  And then there's Derek Anderson, bad-boy professor—rumored to be in trouble for sleeping with a student—who's taken over one of my classes. He's moody, opinionated, rude and egotistical and he might just make the perfect target for this seductress in training...

  DEREK

  I'm not a relationship kind of guy. I take what I want from women, usually just a one night stand, and then I move on. I'm not about to get locked down by anyone, especially not a silly undergraduate student, no matter how hot she is.

  But Nikki is whip-smart and she won't put up with my BS. I want her like crazy, but no matter how hard I pursue her, she's cool and confident about keeping me at arms' length. I know she's trouble, but there's something about her that makes me think she isn't just one of my easy 'love 'em and leave 'em' girls.

  Somehow, I have to keep this ice queen in close proximity. I'm intrigued, but frustrated, too. I don't know how she did it, but the little vixen's got the upper hand—something which is about to change...

  MOUNTAIN MAN:

  ANGEL

  William Black is about as rugged as a man comes. He’s a true mountain man. And he’s enormous, a few inches over six feet with pitch-black hair, a thick beard, and the deepest-blue eyes.

  I like it that he’s wild and answers to no one. He doesn’t care about all the gossip that always circles around him whenever he makes his way down from the mountain. But I don’t just admire him. I need him.

  He calls me ‘Angel,’ but he’d be shocked if he knew the thoughts I have about him. I know I shouldn’t go there because he’s my customer and what would he want with a naive, innocent girl like me anyway?

  WILLIAM

  Angel’s the only one in this town who doesn’t look at me like I’m trash even though I’m sure she’s heard all the rumors. She makes me feel like I’m worth something. She also makes me feel other things—stirrings I haven’t experienced in a long time.

  Ever since I spotted her in the bank, every longing I have centers around claiming her in every way. She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. Pure. Innocent. Wholesome. And completely out of my league. I know I’m not good enough for her and I never will be. But I also can’t help wanting her with every fiber of my being.

  So when there’s a robbery at the bank and I see the perp putting his hands all over her and the fear in her eyes, you bet it’s gonna go down. My past be damned, I go for my weapon and pray I don’t send a bullet into the only person in this town I care about…
