Pre-Order Day Excitement!
It's always exciting when something you're anticipating gets launched into existence. We bibliophiles used to have to wait until a book hit the shelves to feel that giddy, in-your-hands thrill. Now there's the magic of pre-order! Admittedly, it adds to my natural impatience, but the cliché isn't wrong: good things come to those who wait.
As the author of the anticipated event, it's a different sort of impatience. Rather than, "I can't wait to read this!" it's "I can't wait for other people to read this!"
My upcoming release, HOLD ME HARDER, takes place on a luxury dude ranch situated in the hills above Lake Pend Orielle in Idaho. It was there that Natalie first met the ranch's owner, Javier—a Spanish horseman, and a dominant through and through—and it's there Natalie returns when her sister organizes her own wedding-party-only getaway for her bridal party. Natalie hasn't stepped foot on the ranch for over a year, but she quickly finds the truth of another cliché: some things never change.
And it's Javier who's convinced "good things come to those who wait."
Sexy, smokin' hot things.
Because I have a little bit of sadist in me, I'm giving you a wee peek at their reunion while we wait for the pre-order link to go live.
EXCERPT:
The suitcase weighed a ridiculous amount for a weekend getaway, and its inadequate wheels threatened to fly off as she bumped and jostled it over the uneven ground. Between it and her need to tiptoe across the gravel path in stiletto heels, Natalie made slow progress. She was grateful when several of the ranch’s young, cowboy-attired employees burst through the front doors of the lodge and fanned out among the arriving guests, greeting them and helping with the luggage. A calloused thumb brushed across the underside of her wrist as someone reached for her bag.
“Natalie,” Javier said, his quiet greeting catching her off guard. “I’ve missed you, amorcita.”
Damn. His heavy Andalusian accent, warm as the land from which he hailed, twined with the lingering brush of his thumb, and together they welcomed her back. Javier didn’t smile when she looked up at him—he’d always been circumspect in the presence of her family—but affection was there in his eyes. He’d changed little since she’d last seen him. His hair remained defiantly dark, as if not even one strand of silver dared appear, his olive-colored eyes, framed by curling, black lashes and severe brows, still pierced, and his skin would forever be burnished bronze by hours outdoors.
“I would have said you’d be the next to last person I’d see here again,” he teased.
“Yes, well, my mother wasn’t invited this weekend.” It was an old joke between them. A dude ranch—even a luxury one—had not been her mother’s idea of a real vacation. She’d hated it. Vocally.
It hadn’t really been Natalie’s ideal trip, either, but she had distracted herself by flitting between the young cowhands, until Javier—ten years older than her and miles further on in worldliness—had ejected her from his barns for the duration of their stay. Outside in the corrals he’d looked down his crooked, patrician nose and waved her off with undisguised superiority...and drew her to him like a bee to lavender. She’d fallen at his feet, and he’d introduced her to the world of sensual dominance...
***
And that's just the beginning. To think you haven't even met Ryan, yet. One long weekend, two sexy men...some girls have all the fun.
