A WOMAN NEVER
FORGETS HER FIRST COWBOY . . .
As a single
mother, Naomi Sullivan is used to doing things on her own. She's finally saved
enough from working at the Cortez Ranch to buy a lovely home for her and her
little girl. Life is going as planned. But when her high school sweetheart
comes riding back to town, this self-sufficient woman feels something she
hasn't felt in years: red-hot, unbridled need for the handsome cowboy who left
her behind.
Lucas Cortez
doesn't plan on being in town long. Yet when he sees Naomi again—the gorgeous
girl he never stopped loving—he's tempted to hang up his hat and stay awhile.
He's already charmed his way into her daughter's heart, but he'll need more
than sweet talk and roses to convince Naomi to give them a second
chance-especially when she's hiding a secret that could change their lives
forever…
Excerpt:
A yellow Volkswagen
Beetle blitzed toward Lucas, picking up speed. Yep, he’d know that car
anywhere. Naomi.
He watched her draw
closer and closer, and just like it always did when Naomi got near, his heart
picked up. Would she stop and give him a lift to the ranch? They hadn’t exactly
been alone since he’d come back to Topaz Falls. She’d made sure of that.
As the yellow car sped
around the curve, he lifted a hand to flag her down, but the car didn’t slow.
Maybe she hadn’t seen him. Waving his arms, he stepped onto the shoulder…
Shit! The
car was coming right for him! Adrenaline fired through him and sent him rolling
into the ditch just as the car’s brakes screeched. The thing skidded and fish
tailed, likely taking out half of the tires’ tread.
Breathing in the scent
of burnt rubber, Lucas stared up at the sky. Well, that’d been one hell of a
close shave.
The car door opened and
out Naomi flew, stumbling down the embankment in her polished red heels, to
where he lay on the ground.
“God, Lucas. I was so
distracted I didn’t even see you.” Her delicate hands covered her face. “My
god, I almost hit you.” She staggered a few steps.
That got him off the
ground. “Hey.” He hurried over to her, brushing the gravel off his ass. “I’m
fine.” He’d been through a hell of a lot worse than a tumble down into a ditch.
“See. No blood. I’m good.”
She nodded, but seemed
to be on the verge of hyperventilating. Which meant she was in no condition to
get behind the wheel of that car.
“Why don’t I drive you
back to the ranch?” He slipped an arm around her waist to support her, and he
couldn’t resist drawing her close to him, closer than she’d been in ten long
years. She still smelled like carefree summer afternoons—a subtle hint of lemon
along with the coconut oil she used to use to soften her hands. That scent, the
feel of her leaning into his body, roused a sudden overpowering greed. He’d
never hungered as desperately for something as he hungered for her. To turn her
fully to him. To feel those breasts he used to kiss so intimately against his
own chest again. He knew that body, remembered every curve and bend, every fine
detail…
“I’m okay,” Naomi
whispered, shaking him off. “I can walk.”
Of course she could. But
she did hand him the keys before hurrying to climb into the passenger’s seat
without his assistance.
Lucas folded himself
into the driver’s seat. “All right, then. We’re off.” He started the engine and
backed up, then turned carefully out onto the highway.
He stole a glance at
Naomi. Her soft lips twitched as he studied her. It wasn’t her full, bright,
beautiful smile.
But it was a start.
