Publisher Description
In national bestselling author Sara Richardson's first book in the Silverado Lake series, "the pace is fast, the setting's charming, and the love scenes are delicious" when a risk-taking cowboy convinces a no-nonsense writer to give him a second chance (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review) -- includes a bonus story by AJ Pine!
Shy and sensible romance writer Jane Harding's carefully ordered life is crumbling around her. With her latest novel due and her teaching contract at an end, returning home to help plan her best friend's wedding is a welcome distraction. Yet when Jane discovers that the too-hot-to-handle boy who once tempted her is now the best man -- and the rodeo circuit's sexiest bull rider -- her distraction is in danger of becoming a disaster . . .
Toby Garrett is no stranger to risk. But this latest injury could end his rodeo career for good. Thankfully, his recovery at home isn't as awful as he'd imagined, especially when he comes face-to-face with Jane. The kiss they once shared still fuels his fantasies, but when she walked away, he let her go. Now Toby is determined to fix his mistakes. Can this sweet-talking cowboy prove that the passion still burning between them is worth braving the odds?
Includes the bonus novella Cowboy to the Rescue by A.J. Pine!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Richardson (A Cowboy for Christmas) introduces readers to bucolic Silverado Lake, Colo., in this splendid, sexy series launch. Cal-Poly adjunct professor Jane Harding's first romance novel was a bestseller, but writer's block hampers progress on her second. With a deadline six weeks away, Jane heads home to Silverado Lake where no one knows she's a writer for her best friend's wedding. She soon runs into rodeo rider Toby Garrett, her teenage crush and the inspiration for the hero of her book, and is happy for the chance to conduct some hands-on research. Reconnecting with Toby frees Jane's muse, allowing her to make rapid progress on her manuscript. But after being hurt by Toby as a teenager, she's afraid to get too close and face a second round of heartbreak. In animated prose, Richardson showcases her gift for crafting realistic heroines and complex, swoon-worthy heroes. The pace is fast, the setting's charming, and the love scenes are delicious. Fans of cowboy romance are sure to be captivated.
