Excerpt
Ricky tugged on his momâs arm. âGive Cody his present.â
âAll right.â Kelly wiped her fingers carefully and moved the soiled food containers out of the way. Then she reached into her tote bag and took out a folded article of clothing wrapped in tissue paper. âI hope it fits. I had to guess at your size.â âItâs a lucky vest for you to wear when youâre bull riding,â Ricky spilled the beans excitedly. âMom made it to match your chaps, didnât you, Mom?â âYes, but Ricky, you know he has to wear a protective padded vest when heâs riding, right?â She glanced at Cody. âUsually heâs telling me how rodeo works.â âI forgot.â Rickyâs small shoulders slumped. âIf you canât wear it riding, it wonât bring you luck.â âJust owning it will do that, little dude,â Cody said. He held up the tailored black leather vest. The western-style yoke was trimmed in black snakeskin and the front closing studded with buffalo and Indian head buttons. All hand stitched from the looks of it. He ran a hand over the soft leather. No one had ever made him anything like this before. âThank you,â he said, incredibly touched. âI donât know what to say. This vest is so special Iâll save it to wear for good.â âI know it doesnât begin to repayââ Kelly began. Finally they were getting to the crux of her visit. Cody was shaking his head before she finished the sentence. âThat money I gave you was a gift, no strings, no expectations. Seeing Ricky looking so healthy is payment enough.â Seeing her looking beautiful and carefree was a bonus. âWell, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Iâm not sure I said that at the time.â Her cheeks pink, she gestured to the vest. âTry it on.â He pulled the vest on over his chambray shirt and buttoned it up. âIt fits like a glove.â âPerfect,â Kelly agreed happily. âIâm so glad.â âHonestly, you didnât have to,â Cody said. âNeither did you.â Her smile was so sweet it pierced his heart.

Excerpt
My body is spent. I want to feel him release inside of me. I want to collapse on top of him. I want to keep fucking like two animals trying to survive a wilderness that is both beautiful and vicious. Our chests heave in a unison that signals itâs not over, and he starts pumping into meâ¦
Except Iâm not just an animal. I turn my head towards the end table, lean over, and grab his cell phone.
âCall them off.â I shove the phone into his palms. âAll of them. Tell them Iâm not here. That they made a mistake.â
Still pumping into me, he stares at me with widened eyes. âDonât be fucking crazy. Let me walk you out of here and make everyone believe youâve disappeared. At least for a little while.â
Heâs hitting that spot. That warm and sensitive spot that makes me second-guess every decision and every goal Iâve ever made or had. That makes me want to curl up and be swept away and taken care of, even though Iâve never wanted that to be any part of my long-term planâbecause Iâve seen everything my mother has gained and lost by beingâ¦taken care of.
Diego searches my face for a place to reason. âWhat Iâm offeringâ¦theyâre going to catch up to you eventually. And before you catch up to my uncle again. Heâs the second-in-line to a multinational business. You killed one of his men last night. You almost killed him. You think no one noticed? This would give usâ¦a chance,â he pleads.
Although he doesnât say it, itâs the same proposal he made on our trip, except without the ring.
I freeze. Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât tempted. Iâve always been tempted. Heâll never know how many times I ran my finger around the circumference of that diamond band on the nightstand before I drove off, deciding on a different destiny. I knew the moment I stepped in the old Peugeot that Diegoâs ring would forever be imprinted on my finger.
Butâ¦
âI canât.â
My response makes him choke on whatever he was about to say and roar in frustration. Heâs not the type of man to accept defeat.
His fingers fumble on the phone screen. Awkwardly he holds it against his ear, spitting in Spanish as he does what Iâve asked him to do.
He throws the phone and then locks his forearms around my neck, pulling me closer to him. His cock is still stiff, and it throbs inside of me, reminding me of why weâre even in this position.
Cursing, his lips find mine, biting, absorbing, demanding. And I reciprocate. I have never been unwilling. Our tongues tangle as our bodies rock in unison again.

Excerpt
âLexi Wilder.â
She recognized the deep voice, the smooth sound of whiskey if it could speak. Lexi whipped around to face Luke Wyatt. Her heart hiccupped at the sight of his long and lean body braced against the side of her cottage. One corner of his mouth tipped up in a half smile and he studied her with those deep and fathomless dark eyes.
Her mouth was dry. Knees? Liquid. âW-what are you doing here?â
âWasnât going to give you the chance to say you donât want to see me.â He moved away from the side of the house and took a step toward her. âTourâs over. Iâm home.â
Despite her churning gut, she found her voice. âWe have no vacancy. Youâll have to stay somewhere else.â
He went brows up. âJust checked in.â
When she didnât speak, but simply swallowed and blinked, trying like hell to regain her balance, he filled in the silence.
âStill mad at me. Still wonât talk to me.â
She was so not prepared to deal with this today. With him. âWhy would I be mad? You mean because you wrote an entire album all about our private life? Every single private and personal thing about us. After everything Iâve been through with Sabrina. No, why would I be mad about that?â
âBaby,â he said, squaring his shoulders. âItâs what songwriters do. We write about our life, the pain and the joy.â
âIâd rather keep my private life private.â
âIâm sorry,â he said. âI was hurting. You wouldnât take any of my calls. You wouldnât come see me.â
âYou didnât seem to be hurting. You were all over my TV set, cozying up to gorgeous models and reality TV stars.â
Sheâd seen the woman practically on Lukeâs lap at a televised awards show. And he was mad she hadnât called him back? If heâd been hurt when she stopped taking his calls, he sure in the hell got over it quickly enough.
He took a step toward her making her take one back. No, no, no. Already she felt her body buzzing from being this close to him for the first time in a year.
âGive me a break, Lex. You know what this life is like. I didnât even know that woman.â
Lexi did an internal face palm. No, no. It would not go this way. Check her out letting loose with all her pent up hurt and anger the minute he showed up, giving Luke every indication of how much she still cared about him. If she didnât care at all, maybe the rumors of these women wouldnât bother her so much. So sheâd already blown her cover in the first twenty seconds of seeing him. Get a grip.
Sheâd expected to do much better than this if she ever ran into him again, say in Nashville while visiting Miranda Lambert to collaborate on some songs. Lexi would have another hit song by then. Maybe sheâd be dating another handsome country singer not named Luke Wilder. Sheâd be over him by then.
Chalk it up to running into him so unexpectedly but this wasnât how it was supposed to go. He shouldnât still look so good to her, his beard making him look like a strong mountain man. Like a man who would take care of his woman.
For Luke, it turned out his career came first. Not her.
But the thing to do here was pretend it didnât make a difference whether he stayed or left. Pretend he had that little effect on her. Maybe it wasnât too late to salvage what little was left of her pride.
âIâm sorry.â She shook her head. âIâm being rude.â
He quirked a single brow. âYeah?â
Score one for Lexi. Sheâd shocked him. Good.
âOf course. Youâre a paying guest and Iâm usually not soâ¦soâ¦â
âPissy?â He gave her another smile, this one lifting both corners of his mouth and demonstrating he still had the power to render her speechless when he laid on the charm.
âYeah. Pissy.â She let out a half-hearted fake laugh and waved hand in the air. âRough day. You know how it is. Sisters.â
His brow furrowed. âAnd howâs Sabrina doing?â
Luke had a front row seat to the implosion of the Wilder Sisters. Heâd been performing alongside them at the stadium in Oklahoma when Sabrina had her public mini-meltdown. Even though their demise as a band had meant his opportunity for stardom, Lexi didnât doubt heâd been sorry about the way it had all happened.
When sheâd been worried about Sabrina, whose entire life from the time sheâd been ten had been the stage, Luke had held Lexi every night until she fell asleep, assuring her that Sabrina would survive this. They all would. And sheâd fallen even deeper for the man. Luke reminded her there would be life after all the speculation and rumors. Because Luke Wyatt knew a lot about scandal. He understood what it was like to feel like you had to apologize just for being allowed to breathe the same air as everyone else.
âSheâs okay. Still walks around with ear buds in all the time, singing and dancing. Itâs in her blood. But I donât think she wants to get back up on a stage anytime soon. None of us do.â
He nodded, as if he understood all too well. âAnd you. Are you still writing?â
Not with you.
Never again with you.
The wall was still up and there it would stay. If anything, sheâd wallpaper it. But she was a Wilder first and foremost, and yes, they could put on a show.
She shrugged and got ready to lie. âHere and there.â
âIâm supposed to write a few more hit songs.â He held up finger quotes. âThey want me back in the studio next week. So I thought Iâd come here and relax. See if I can find some inspiration.â
His gaze took a slow slide down the length of her body and she almost feltâ¦naked. She was so not going to be his inspiration. Not this time. Heâd taken enough material from her already.
She took a breath and went for deep sincerity. âI hope you find what youâre looking for, Luke.â
And with that she opened the door to her cottage and closed it in his face.
