Jade's Cowboy Crush Release

 Yep - it's here! Jade's Cowboy Crush is now on Amazon for just $3.99.

I have to say, this was  a seriously fun write for me! Grueling at times, yes, but enjoyable all the same. I loved discovering just what made rebellious cowboy, Gavin Emerson, tick. I enjoyed learning about the demons from his past, and writing about how he conquers them in the end. Above that, I absolutely love Jade and her admirable devotion to being a good mother at all costs. Even still, with everything that takes place in Jade's Cowboy Crush, I love their romance most of all! 

Here's a tasty excerpt, along with the book blurb: 

Excerpt: Jade wasn't sure why she wanted him to think she was asleep.
Perhaps to appear as if she hadn't been waiting for him. Besides, he'd
done his job, finished massaging her back, and what they both needed was
a good night's sleep. Nothing more.
Yet as Gavin sunk onto the edge of her bed, ran a feathery-light
finger over her arm, Jade wanted something more than a simple night's
sleep. She froze in place, stunned as she felt him lean over her, the
bed slightly creaking beneath his weight. Her heart skipped at least two
beats while she waited, working to keep her breaths slow and even. It
wasn't until she felt his warm breath on her face that she realized just
how close he'd gotten. Did he plan to kiss her in her sleep? Like
sleeping beauty?
The idea caused a sudden streak of tingling anticipation to skitter
over her flesh. If his lips touched hers, would she kiss him back? She
imagined wrapping her hand around the back of his neck, indulging in the
moment.
Suddenly it seemed as if her heart was working to make up for the
lost beats - pounding in excess to a near painful degree. Please, Gavin,
she pled inwardly. Please just kiss me.
Without a conscious thought, she let her lips part slightly. Gavin's
warm breath met hers, the seductive sensation causing Jade to silently
grip fistfuls of the sheets at her sides.
Wanting.
Craving.


Single mother, Jade Miller, has just witnessed a murder. Now, set to testify against the cold-blooded killer, Jade must be placed under protection. While she is grateful to the kind folks who've offered to take in her and her son, Jade is surprised to find the man escorting them from L.A. to Montana is Gavin Emerson. A womanizing, far-too-attractive-for-his-own-good, rebel cowboy. Jade assures Gavin that she has sworn off men until her son is grown, but all too soon she finds herself fighting back feelings for the man who's agreed to care for them.
Gavin wants nothing to do with ranch life. Not since the ugly fallout he had with his father over eight years ago. But when he agrees to come back, harboring Jade and her son for a time, Gavin falls in love with life on the land once again. Above that, he finds his heart has been captured by his lovely house guest, Jade Miller.
After reservations on both parts, the two are finally ready to open up and give their new-found love a try. Only they aren't in the clear just yet, and as a dark and deadly threat falls upon them, Gavin finds that his bad-boy past may have led the danger right to their door.


On another note - the holidays are just about here. Who plans to get some reading done over the break? I just finished Midnight Masquerade, by Marcia Lynn McClure (and LOVED IT, by the way), and will be choosing from my to-read list for the break. What will you be reading? Or have you just finished a book you really enjoyed?
