good things come in bad-boy packages.
She
vows to find the right kind of guy but a tempting stranger challenges

Choices” should have been Rina Tillbridge’s middle name and it’s time to turn
over a new leaf. But when stuntman Scott Halsey struts onto her property for
his latest film, her impulsive alter ego threatens to make a comeback. The
quintessential thrill-seeking stuntman has no designs on commitment. So why are
all his red flags igniting white-hot passion…and inspiring dreams of a
Hollywood ending?

lighthearted, cute, is very entertaining and addictively different.” Shaka,

SCAVENGER HUNT POST:
The Cowboy’s Claim
Chapter One
It was perfect riding weather at Tillbridge Horse Stable.
All Tristan Tillbridge needed was a horse and some time to enjoy the morning.
He had plenty of horses, but based on the number of
what-the-hells ganging up for his attention, enjoyment wasn’t on his schedule
anytime soon.
He dropped his black-booted foot from the bottom rail of
the white ladder fence circling the small arena where a blond horse trainer
exercised Moonlight Joy, a golden creamy-maned palomino. “So you were driving
the back road last night and found the south pasture gate wide-open?”
“Yeah.” Mace Calderone stood beside him. His brown
deputy’s hat cast a shadow over his bronze face. “The winds from the rainstorm
could have caused it.”
“Or someone left it that way.” Tristan stripped off his
tan Rough Rider work gloves, flipped up the shirttail of his navy pull over and
stuffed the gloves in his back jeans pocket. “The staff knows the
‘close every gate’ rule, but everyone else can’t read a
damn sign.
Since the guesthouse and cottages
opened on the property six months ago, stopping them from breaking, trampling
or opening things they shouldn’t is becoming a full -time job.”
Next to the one he already had as stable manager.
“I hear you. These days it seems like rules are
considered more of a suggestion than a requirement.” Mace glanced over his
shoulder.
“Looks like you got a stray.”
On the wide dirt and gravel path leading from the stable
farther behind them, a woman with long dark curly hair wearing oversize aviator
sunglasses talked animatedly on her cell .
As she threw up her hand in frustration over something
the person on the line told her, the front of her cropped yellow blazer opened
wider revealing a snowy-white, fitted top. Matching skinny jeans molded to her
long legs. Each step forward brought her and her red high-heeled
boots—designer, no doubt—closer to fresh horse shit.
Mace turned to watch. “Five bucks she saves the shoes.”
“Ten, she doesn’t.”
She swerved right and Mace grinned. “Instead of cash, you
can pay me with a beer this weekend.”
“That’s fine, but I won’t be the one buying.”
The woman veered left, still talking on her phone and
digging into her large red purse.
Mace’s smile disappeared. “She really isn’t paying
attention.”
“Told you.” But not even the sure win of a bet could let
Tristan stand by and watch what would probably be the worst part of her day
unfold.
He and Mace called out at the same time. “Hey! Look out!”
But too absorbed in her conversation, she traipsed
ahead...right into the steaming fresh pile. As she skidded forward, the phone
flew out of her hand and after a few long breath-holding seconds of teetering
on her heels, she final y caught her balance.
Mace winced. “That could have been ugly. I’ll make sure
she’s okay. Unless you’re interested. She’s cute.”
Sunglasses pushed up on her head, the woman bent down and
retrieved her cell . As she stood straight, she alternated between shaking the
dirtied boot on her foot and glancing at the bottom of it with a grossed-out
expression.
Interested in a woman who wore high heels to a stable,
and from a distance, faintly resembled his deceased father’s spoiled, devious
second wife? Yeah, he’d pass. “I have a meeting in a few minutes.
She’s all yours.”
The two-way radio clipped to Mace’s tactical belt
crackled to life.
“Calling all units in the southeast. Multiple reports of
traffic backing up on Colton Road at the interstate exit.
Motorists need assistance.”
He clicked a button on his
shoulder mic. “Dispatch. Unit seven in route.” Mace looked to Tristan. “You’ll
have to help her out.”
“I’m not the one wearing the badge. Rescuing people is
your job.”
“I would, but duty calls. You can tell me her name
later.” Mace clapped him on the back, then strode to his patrol car parked in
the grass on the other side of the ring.
Tristan headed to the woman. Why couldn’t people just
obey the multiple signs on the paved trail from the guesthouse that stated: No visitors allowed at the stable until 10:00 a.m. on Mondays.
“I can’t believe this.” The woman glanced up at Tristan
while gingerly scraping the sole of her boot on the ground. “Is this stuff
literal y everywhere—even in the main areas?”
