Lone Wolf Cowboy

Book excerpt: Lone Wolf Cowboy Will Gold Valley’s most reclusive cowboy finally find a reason to heal? As a former EMT and a wildland firefighter, there’s no one Jacob Dalton can’t rescue — except himself. Since his best friend’s tragic death, Jacob has isolated himself…until Vanessa Logan returns to Gold Valley. He saved her life during a medical call years ago, and he’s never forgotten her. The instant jolt of heat between them takes him by surprise, but he knows that giving in to it would only end in disaster… For Vanessa, returning home was about healing, not about exploring her attraction with Jacob. He is the guardian angel from her past — with strong, capable hands and an irresistible mouth. A temptation she knows she can’t afford. Until the chemistry between them explodes, and unites them in a way they could never have imagined… Includes a bonus story, Cowboy Christmas Redemption As snowflakes fall in Gold Valley, Oregon, will this rugged cowboy finally win the woman of his dreams? Cowboy Caleb Dalton has loved single mum Ellie Bell, and her little daughter, Amelia, for years. But since Ellie is his best friend’s widow, Caleb’s head knows Ellie will always be strictly off-limits. If only his heart got the memo. So when Caleb discovers that Ellie has a Christmas wish list — and wants a kiss under the mistletoe — all bets are off. If anyone’s going to be kissing Ellie, it’s him. Ellie has dreaded the holidays since losing her husband. But this year, she’s finally ready to make some changes. She never expects the biggest change to be the heart-stopping kiss she shares with Caleb. For almost five years, Caleb has been her best friend, her rock, her salvation. This Christmas, can Caleb prove he’s also the missing puzzle piece of Ellie’s and Amelia’s hearts?
