Let’s go. The cowboy just came to take you away.” He reached in and turned off the ignition, clasped her keys and opened the door. When she stepped out, he didn’t bother to move back...

I hope you brought your handcuffs,” she added. “I won’t go quietly.””I might use them anyway, for fun,” he answered, remembering the sensation of her warm lips against his.

Creed must have responded in kind, because with a gasp, she broke off the kiss. Time crawled to a standstill, then shifted to a sprint. Nieve shoved the gun lodged between them into his ribs....

Let’s just say Noah and Flynn enjoy the chase, and when they catch their woman, they keep her tied so she stays caught when they play.

I’m named after my father, Rudolph,” he said, then shot her a stern look. “But if you connect that with my red nose —

The sky had lightened when they got up from the sand. They shook the blanket before wrapping it around them both. Cuddling close they entered the hotel, shivering as they stood in the elevator.

The scent of freshly laundered clothing that had been dried in the desert sun lingered around him. She breathed deeply, remembering how kind he had been to her that day, and she closed her eyes....

So, you take no prisoners, huh?’Flynn leaned in close. Her pulse clicked up a gear at the deliberate invasion of her personal space. ‘No, sweetie. We take prisoners, of the short, female variety. We just...

She pulled her arm free from his grasp and stood back, her arms crossed. “So, what then? You’re holding me hostage? Are you even really a sheriff?””I am,” he said, highly amused at her attempt...

I sense that about you, Tristan. Your actions and words are heartfelt.

I run from nothing and no one.

When I’m away from you I am lost.But when I’m with you, I am lost in you.

Consider me your rescuer, not your jailer,” he said to Frankie, without looking at her. His gut told him that, on the criminal mastermind scale, this one landed closer to Tinker Bell than Lizzie Borden.

There’s something about a cowboy…

When it comes to matters of the heart, immortals know nothing.

This is Bourbon Street, isn’t it? Where’s the freakin’ bourbon?

Fucking hell,” he whispered, closing his eyes. The pain in his face mirrored the deep ache in her bones. He lifted her hand to his mouth and traced his lips slowly across her palm. With...

Another man’s property or not, Creed could not walk away from this and ignore it. He draped an arm around her and drew her to him so that her cheek rested against his thigh. His...

The bats stop flying above and the moon stands still. He commands the air and the sky and my body.

Rory’s big labradoodle made a snap judgement that Frankie was everything her life had been missing up until now. She flung herself into the girl’s arms, wiggling and whining, a shaggy mass of chocolate-colored enthusiasm.”Mistral...

She was dangerous. I’d heard the rumors, that she had a history as a wild woman, that she’d been married to a gambler, maybe even been one herself, that her past was scandalous at best....

Damn, she better get her imagination under control or she was going to be in trouble. She stole another glance in his direction, her eyes locked onto the bulge in his lap. Well lookie there....

Whoa!” She looked so cute, but vulnerable, too. He closed the arm around her shoulder, squeezing her sideways to his chest. Embarrassed, she smiled as she elbowed his rib. Then she dropped her arms and...

Consider yourself warned, Frankie. Something about these mountains convinces previously sane women to give up Starbucks for saddle sores.

He had a hint of a Southern drawl, as if he’d worked hard to hide it, but couldn’t quite rid himself of the last of it. It was rough and gravelly, and had the seductive...

Every touch ramped her desire higher and the carnal look in Chad’s eyes was making swallowing difficult.By the time the waiter served their coffee, she was ready to throw him down on the table and...

…Ethan, but I’m certainly not the type of woman to just go home with two men whether I know them or not. It would be highly inappropriate, not to mention stupid.””And you’re not stupid.””Not as...

She was licking something off the end of a wooden spoon. Red froze. His body reacted as if he’d walked in on her twirling half-naked on a pole….Frankie was intriguing. Unsettling. Challenging He wanted to...

Take your clothes off.” “What?” “You heard me.” Evelyn forced her mouth shut. She looked around the room, buying time. The faded brown curtains hung limply over the windows, not quite touching, and the afternoon...

You’re pretty low maintenance, as women go.””I am, am I?” She sounded amused.”Yeah. Like a cactus.

She was partial to the tie. Not too long ago he did unspeakable things to her with that tie.

I’m resourceful,” she called after him.Resourceful, he thought, rinsing his hands with the ladle she’d left in the bucket. “A euphemism commonly used by successful criminals,” he called out to her.”If I were so successful,”...

She looked up at him with dark, tragic eyes, and again he was struck by the illusion of beauty and innocence she presented. Instinct had him wanting to reach for her, to take her in...

Great. He had a ranch with no power, a burgeoning blizzard, animals depending on him and now, a frightened, felonious elf to look after.

One more salt to try,” Kellan said, reaching into the box. He brought a jar of black, flaky crystals up to the light. “Black diamond finishing salt. Extremely rare and too bold for those with...

It’s nothing fancy, I opened a jar of sauce and cooked the linguine. But there’s fresh Parmesan and I even found a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.””You found wine.” Earlier he’d been thinking about microwaved Who...

Wishing for something doesn’t mean you should have it, and saying something doesn’t necessarily make it true.

I want you, too, Hayes Cardwell, and that isn’t the beer talking.”They were so close she could see the shine of his dark eyes in the starlight. Without another word, he swept her up in...

She tossed a handful of snow at his face, then shrieked as the wind whipped it back into her own.Red hooted. “Karma’s a boomerang, sweetheart. Don’t forget it.

Whatever it was that came over him that night pulled a cord—her laugh, or her surprise gasp slipping out to think he’d do something so bold.

Bending the law is different from breaking, my lovely, strategically-challenged Francesca.

Her demon had pursued and seduced him. She hoped he hadn’t placed too much importance on that.

I know what you’re up to.””I doubt that.” Hayes leaned toward her, his hand looping around the back of McKenzie’s neck as he gently drew her to him. “Because if you could see what I...
