Her Playboy Cowboy Lover

Book excerpt: Cowboy Ethan Wilder tends to keep leftovers in the fridge longer than he keeps the women he dates around. But Poppy Van Clief, the misplaced city girl who literally crashed into town, seems as immune to his charms as she is wary of his family name, which might be exactly why he's not going to rest until he makes her his for the long run. Hamptons socialite Poppy Van Clief sees the small town of Bitter End as her big chance for a fresh start, in spite of the town’s ominously symbolic name and her disastrous arrival there. Away from her family’s wealth and reputation, it’s her chance to be more than what people assume about her—that she's skating through life on her daddy's money and her good looks. She's determined to succeed on her own merits, and make the Wilder Inn a huge success at the same time. There’s one thing standing in her way. Ethan Wilder. Why a cowboy player in charge of the family livestock wants to be involved in the business end of the Wilder enterprise is beyond her, but he does. And his annoying, sexy, ever-present self, and the way her traitorous body reacts to him, is starting to become a problem she needs to solve. So is the event company who appears at the hotel with big ideas and a huge threat to her career there.
