Feisty reporter vs. gruff

with Mia Hopkins and the newest release in the Cowboy Cocktail series, COWBOY
RISING!
About COWBOY RISING
Journalist Georgia Meyers is writing an article
about MacKinnon Ranch in a last-ditch effort to save her job at a failing
newspaper. At first, the hot-as-hell rancher wants nothing to do with her. But
butting heads leads to knocking boots, and soon she’s getting the real story—in
bed and off the record.
Cattleman’s son and petroleum engineer Daniel
MacKinnon turned down a lucrative oil career to take over the family farm.
Frustrated about giving up his dreams and worried about money, Daniel buries
himself in ranch work—that is, until gorgeous Georgia shows up and rocks him to
the core. A blazing one-night stand leads to something deeper. Despite their
feelings for each other, he’s tied to the land and she’s a rolling stone. When
the time comes to part ways, will the lovers choose duty over desire? Or will
they face their fears and rise to the challenge of love?
Warning:
Get ready for sassy banter, sizzling sex, orgasms galore, and a nerdy
dirty-talkin’ cowboy who can go all night long.

Excerpt:
His cheeks red from working outside, the new brother removed
his gloves and tucked them under his arm. He took off his hat and shook her
hand. His rough fingers were warm.
“Daniel MacKinnon.” He didn’t smile.
Georgia couldn’t explain it. With a heavy jaw and dirty blond
hair styled high and tight, he was as clean cut as a cadet—she usually
preferred tattooed, bearded types. He looked to be in his mid-twenties—she
usually liked seasoned men who were older than her, not younger. But this guy’s
hotness seared her eyeballs, nailing her feet where she stood.
“Georgia Meyers, L.A.
Chronicle,” she said automatically, all other words escaping her. She was
too old, too experienced, and far too smart to react this way—and yet, here she
was. Staring slack-jawed at a pretty-faced cowboy like some blue-stockinged
virgin at a rodeo dance.
“I know you’re here to see my father,” he said, the low
rumble in his voice stroking a sweet spot inside her chest, “but he isn’t
available today. You need to reschedule, Miss Meyers.”
His bright green eyes were so distracting, she almost didn’t
register his words. “Reschedule?”
“Yeah. You need to come back. Do the interview another day.”
“What?” Snap out of it,
Gigi. The story. She yanked her professional persona back in place. “Mr.
MacKinnon, I’ve just driven an hour and a half from Fresno to be here. Two days
ago, your father said he’d give me a tour of the ranch and walk me through the
organic certification process. Isn’t there anyone else I can talk to?”
Daniel’s stoic expression was both infuriating and unspeakably
hot. “No.”
Hot or not, who does this
guy think he is? She stood up straight. “Okay, let me lay it all
out for you. If there’s no one here who will speak with me today, just to make
sure my time isn’t wasted, I’ll be more than happy to find another rancher.
There are plenty of spreads in your neck of the woods, aren’t there? I’m sure
my readers wouldn’t mind learning about conventional ranching operations. Maybe
someone at the Hughes Ranch will make time for me. What do you think?”
He narrowed his eyes at her and took a deep but silent breath.
His broad chest rose and fell as he looked her over. At last he said, “Can you
ride?”
“A little.” Which was completely true, depending on one’s
definition of “a little.”
Fresh impatience lit up Daniel MacKinnon’s eyes. “All right.
Let’s go.”

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.

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.
