Book Description:
Running from a past
of privilege, deceit, and danger, Travis Simms is ready to settle down. What
better place to forget all he left behind than the quiet little Montana town of
Lolo Hot Springs? His goal is clear — build a hotel and his own destiny without
complications —until one of the town’s most troublesome women captures his
attention.
Dusty Larson is hell
bent on independence, helping her sister run the Triple D Ranch. She can do
anything a man can, and do it better, so she certainly doesn’t need one in her
life. The only problem is she seems to attract bad luck and danger...and
Travis. Can he tame her wild ways and keep his bachelor status intact — or does
he risk losing his heart?
Excerpt:
The voices in her head screamed for her to run but
she just couldn’t listen. Fists balled at her sides,
Dusty prepared for a fight and stalked toward the
sound, rounding the corner and tripping just as
strong hands reached out and grabbed her
shoulders.
The hands picked her up and turned her around
to press her back into steel muscles of a rock-solid
chest. One arm reached across her collarbone to
clasp her shoulder. The other wrapped around her
midsection, holding her against a warm body. The
offending hands gripped her tight and brought her
snug against the length of him. She knew without
looking who it was.
“When you walk around after dark, anything
can happen.” His warm breath tickled her neck, and
shivers raced through her. The hand lining the
length of her collarbone made its way up her
shoulder and traced the edges of her shirt collar.
“You are not safe from anything in the dark.”
With those words, Travis turned her around and
slipped his hands behind her back to pull her closer.
He bent his head and his next words tickled her lips,
“Even me.” The kiss shot like lightning through
Dusty. It shocked and excited her, stealing the
breath from her lungs. Without conscious thought
she lifted her hands and entwined them behind his
neck, pressing their bodies closer.
Travis eased Dusty back, but kept her in his
grip. “Heaven above, Angel…I’ve wanted to do that
since I first saw you at the springs.” He traced the
edges of her lips with the rough pad of his thumb.
“You are way too beautiful to be out by yourself after
dark. Anything could happen.”
“Anything could happen," Dusty rasped out.
Travis released Dusty and her knees buckled.
He caught her before she could land on the ground,
set her right once again, and gave a deep throaty
laugh.
“Anything could happen,” she said again. Dizzy
excitement hummed through her body, and all she
could hear was the deep thump of her heart.
About the Author:
A country girl born and bred, Dawn Luedecke has

male) and started a family and writing career. She enjoys writing historical
and paranormal romance and spends as much time as she can working on her
current manuscript.
