WILD COWBOY WAYS
SOMETIMES ALL LOVE NEEDS IS A LITTLE LUCKAllie Logan isn't the type to land a hot hunk of cowboy. Truth is, she's given up on dating since shedding her no-good ex. But the new owner of the most ramshackle ranch in Texas might just change her mind about that. He's six-foot-plus of tall, dark, and charming-the kind of guy who could make a girl throw caution to the wind . . . or the kind of guy who could break her heart.
Blake Dawson hopes he can make Lucky Penny Ranch finally live up to its name, but the property needs a ton of work. Allie and her carpentry skills are his best shot at getting things in order. Besides the fact that her brown eyes and dangerous curves have him roped and tied. Now Blake only needs to convince her that a wild cowboy can be tamed by love-and she's just the one to do it . . .

EXCERPT
“You are one
wicked lady,” Blake smiled.
“Not me!” Her
smile was straight from heaven. “I’m just a carpenter who fixes roofs and does
remodel jobs on houses.”
“A beautiful, sexy
carpenter who looks right gorgeous with a hammer in her hands,” Blake said.
“Y’all going to
jaw all day in there or are we going to watch our movie?” Deke called out.
“We’re on the way
and I don’t want to hear a word about my socks,” Allie made her way from
kitchen to living room.
Blake kicked off
his boots and settled on the other end of the long leather sofa from Allie.
Halfway though the movie she pulled her legs up and stretched them out toward
him and he did the same, situating his on the outside. He moved his right one
slightly so that it touched hers and she didn’t jerk it away or give him a
dirty look.
Progress! By damn!
That was progress.
A month ago he
would have been telling some woman goodbye that he’d spent the weekend with,
maybe saying that he’d call her with no intentions of never doing so. Or maybe
she’d walk him to the door and tell him that it had been fun but one weekend of
fun with him was all a woman could handle. Tonight he was almost shouting
because Allie hadn’t moved her leg away from his. Toby would believe it or
understand if he tried to tell him and forget about saying anything to Jud. He
was the loudest of the three about staying a bachelor until his dying breath.
“I’m pausing the
show for a bathroom break. I’ll bring in some beers on my way back,” Deke said.
Allie shifted
positions and her foot touched his hip. He picked it up and put it in his lap
and began to massage it and suddenly, things weren’t boring at all.
“God, that feels
good,” she said.
“I’m not God,”
Blake said.
“You know what I
mean.”
He pulled the
other foot over and worked on it. “You are too tense, woman. Loosen up and
enjoy life.”
She eased her feet
back and tucked them under her, pulling the sweater dress down to cover them.
“He’s right,” Deke
set three beers on the coffee table and settled back into the recliner. “You
should have more fun.”
“Y’all are ganging
up on me,” she said. “Turn the movie back on. I like Crazy Cora more and more
as the story plays out. I don’t think she’s nearly as crazy as everyone
thinks.”
Layers, Deke had
said. Was one of Allie’s layers nothing but a protective coating against men
since her husband left her?
