Who Needs Luck When You
Can Get Lucky?
About COWBOY KARMA
When Harmony Santos’s boyfriend dumps her on her
birthday, she doesn’t get mad. She gets lucky…with a mysterious cowboy whose
bedroom eyes and rough edges bring out her inner bad girl. But when their
one-night rodeo turns into more than a rebound, Harmony worries her heart
hasn’t healed enough to take on someone new—even if that someone is as sweet as
he is sexy.
Tie-down roper Lucky Garcia can’t believe his
good fortune. A shot at national finals and now this—his longtime crush, in his
arms at last. The more time he spends with Harmony, the harder he falls for
her. But financial demands and family responsibilities take him further and
further away from her—as does his secret fear she hasn’t quite gotten over her
dickhead ex.
Behind closed doors, Lucky and Harmony are
filthy perfection. But when reality comes knocking, the star-crossed lovers
must decide: walk away intact, or risk it all for a chance at happiness.
Warning:
Get ready for rope tricks, spanking, self-pleasure, and a smoking-hot cowboy
who puts the big D in Dominant.

Excerpt:
The
room was steamy with dancing and pheromones. Harmony ordered a Bud Light and
ran the icy bottle over her forehead.
A
new song started up. Shaking off her melancholy, she strode right into the
heart of the crowded dance floor. Steve Earle’s “Copperhead Road”—an easy line
dance. She counted her way in and soon was stomping across the dance floor. The
loud music pounded in her chest. Even though it had been years since she’d line
danced, her body knew the steps without her thinking about them. The heartache
receded a little.
More dancing. Maybe some
shots. Maybe making out with a stranger. That’ll keep me from feeling…this.
Whatever this ugly feeling is.
She
danced solo for three more songs. Then an old-timer led her in a waltz. The
country gentleman was followed by a baby-faced cowboy in a camo baseball cap.
She danced three more songs with him and bid him goodbye with a hug and a kiss
on the cheek—too young.
The
DJ took the mike. “Next up, the cowboy cha-cha.”
A
slower dance. Harmony fanned herself with her hand and thought this might be a
good time to grab a shot of Fireball chased with another beer.
She
turned to leave the dance floor when a big warm hand rested on her shoulder.
“Wait.
Don’t go yet.”
She
turned. In the dark, the new cowboy’s face was obscured in the shadow of his
hat. The DJ cued up an old Bellamy Brothers song Harmony remembered her father
loved. It began, “If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against
me?” She knew the words as surely as she knew her own name.
The
dancers around them paired off in a hurry and got into the sweetheart position.
Everyone counted off together and started around the massive dance floor in a
counter-clockwise direction, all in time.
Before
Harmony could say anything, the stranger took her hands and spun her. His
movements were sure and strong. He was an experienced dancer, not someone who
had to be babysat around the floor.
“Been
a long time, hasn’t it?” he said.
She
stole sideways glances at him. Tall and muscular, he wore a black hat and a
plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His forearms were thick and smooth. She
could see that he had a strong jaw, a dark, short beard, and dark skin. He
spoke crystal-clear English with a lilting Mexican accent.
“You
don’t remember me, do you, Harmony?”
She
stared.
A
half-smile. “Guess I’m just another cowboy to you.”
For
strangers, they moved in perfect rhythm. Harmony felt grateful that he was a
strong lead since her brain was otherwise occupied with trying to figure out
who he was. When he brought their bodies together, chest to chest, she looked
up at him. His body gave off controlled strength and a smooth, unnerving calm.
At last, she peeked under the shadow of his cowboy hat.
Dark
brows. Bedroom eyes the color of whiskey.
No way. “Lucky?”

Forget chocolate and flowers. This homegrown honey is all the sweetness he
craves.
Small-town life is nothing but a waiting room for eighteen-year-old honor
student Corazón Gomez. Work and school leave little time for love, but with a
full-ride Ivy League scholarship and a one-way ticket out of the boondocks, who
needs it?
The answer appears on Valentine’s Day when her old cowboy crush ambles into
the ice cream parlor where she works, inviting her to go on a late-night ride
in his truck. For the first time she wavers between staying on the straight and
narrow, and going off-road with the handsome heartbreaker.
After four years working on ranches all over the country, Caleb MacKinnon
is back on the family farm helping out his mom and brothers while his father
fights cancer. The one bright spot: smart, funny, and wickedly sexy Cora.
From the start, they both know this blazing-hot love affair can’t last. But
when autumn comes and Cora has to leave for the East Coast, Caleb must find a
solution to keep himself—and his heart—from falling apart.
Warning: Contains hard, cherry-poppin’
sex in a pickup truck and a cowboy charmer who talks dirty in two languages.
Marketing
hotshot Monica Kaur has put her big-city life on hold to help bail out her
brother’s failing business. Now she’s got three months to plan and promote a
rodeo, the first her tiny hometown has ever seen.
To
ensure the rodeo’s success, Monica enlists a local hero, a rancher’s son who’s
made a name for himself on the bull-riding circuit. Problem? She can’t stop
daydreaming about the cocky bastard—and all the things she longs to do to him
out behind the chutes.
Professional
bullfighter Dean MacKinnon is home helping his family while his father fights
cancer. Haunted by bad memories, jaded by love, Dean finds escape in a
no-strings-attached go-round with brainy, sexy Monica, whose close-knit
Sikh-American family would sooner run him out of town than see her with a
notorious rodeo Romeo.
In
private, Monica and Dean play as hard as they work. But as the rodeo draws
near, that clean break they promised each other is getting more and more hung
up in the rigging.
For
eight years, Melody Santos played the game of love and lost—big time. Now she’s
back in her tiny hometown looking after her younger sister, making ends meet
with an assortment of odd jobs. When her childhood best friend hires her to
help him sell his family’s grass-fed beef, the last thing she anticipates is
falling in lust with the legendary, brown-eyed player.
To put
his family’s cattle ranch back in the black, Clark MacKinnon has his sights set
on big contracts—gourmet chefs and restaurateurs. If that means long hours
traveling from farmer’s market to farmer’s market, Clark doesn’t mind.
Particularly since his new assistant is his childhood crush, all grown up and
sexy as hell.
One
night in bed leaves them breathless and hungry for more. But when his
love-’em-and-leave-’em reputation collides with her trust issues, Clark and
Melody must face the truth about what they’ve become: not friends, not lovers,
but players in a game that’s impossible to win.
Warning:
Contains filthy banter, raunchy sex, excessive Johnny Cash references, and hundreds
of pounds of raw beef.
