Cowboy to the Core

Book excerpt: Gold Valley, Oregon’s wildest cowboy has finally met his match in this sexy romance by the New York Times–bestselling author of Unbroken Cowboy. Jamie Dodge is confident she knows everything there is to know about cowboys. She grew up surrounded by them, after all. But somehow her new boss, champion saddle bronc rider Gabe Dalton, and his brand of cowboy charm have her interested in all kinds of things she never has been before. There are a million reasons Gabe should ignore his attraction to Jamie. He needs her horse-training skills on his family’s ranch . . . and the Dodge brothers would happily hurt him for touching her. Forget kissing her. He’d be a dead man. But Jamie’s tough-talking attitude masks an innocence that tempts him past the breaking point . . . and soothes the restlessness that’s dogged Gabe his whole life. Has this cowboy finally found a place he wants to call home?
