BOOTS AND THE HEARTBREAKER
Ugly Stick Saloon Book #11
by Myla Jackson
Blurb:
Colin
McFarlan’s back is against the wall. Two brothers have caved to their mother’s
threat to sell the ranch if they don’t get married and give her grandkids—now
it’s his turn. Too bad the only woman he’s ever loved is the one who came
between him and his brother Brody.
When Fancy
returns to Temptation, he’s determined to steer clear of the gorgeous real
estate agent, who looks good whether dressed up in a pencil skirt or dressed
down in cowboy boots.
Fancy Wilson made mistakes. Getting engaged to Brody was the first. Weeping in Colin’s arms—and falling into his bed—on the night she and Brody broke up was the second. She’s not adding to her sins by falling for Colin all over again. She’s had enough heartache.
Fancy Wilson made mistakes. Getting engaged to Brody was the first. Weeping in Colin’s arms—and falling into his bed—on the night she and Brody broke up was the second. She’s not adding to her sins by falling for Colin all over again. She’s had enough heartache.
Yet when
Colin asks her to help break up a romance between his mother and the notorious
town heartbreaker, she can’t resist. But soon they’re scrambling to undo the
damage they’ve done…before it destroys their last chance for happiness.
Warning: Breaking up
is hard to do, but reunion sex can be oh, so fine!
Excerpt:
“The
situation is unacceptable. We need to talk.” He grabbed her hand and led her toward
the bar. “Come on.”
“I’m not
thirsty.”
“I’m not
getting you a drink.” He hauled her past the bar, glanced around for Greta Sue,
the bouncer who was standing at the entrance of the saloon carding everyone
walking in.
“Then where
are you taking me?” She tugged her arm to free it of his grip. “What if I don’t
want to go there?”
“We can’t
stand by and do nothing.” Colin strode down the hallway behind the bar and threw
open the first door he came to. “In here.”
Fancy was
practically flung into a storeroom filled with cases of booze.
Colin entered
and shut the door behind him.
Alone with the
man she was supposed to be getting off her mind or out of her heart, Fancy’s
pulse hammered against her eardrums and her palms grew moist. What was he going
to do? Kiss her? Declare his undying love for her? Sweep her off her feet and
tell her he couldn’t live another day without her?
All those
thoughts flitted through her mind as her breathing became rapid and ragged.
She waited
for him to turn, to show her the love still evident in his eyes.
When Colin
faced her, it wasn’t with love shining out of his eyes, but an angry glare. “We
have to break those two up.”
