Book Four in our Riders Up series is the story of Cassie’s best friend, Tracy Steele. Mourning the recent death of her father and unable to concentrate in her job as a top county prosecutor in Chicago, Tracy gives in to Cassie’s pressure to take a break—for two months, in a time share north of San Diego. Following a harrowing drive on a winding detour, Tracy finally pulls in at the resort, unaware that Scott McCord—the man Cassie wants her to help—is watching her.
Here’s Scott’s reaction:
EXCERPT
No doubt
the
woman was Traci Steele. She
fit Cassie Travers’s description. Hair as black
as night
falling below her shoulders, and tall.
She might
only be a few inches shorter
than him, and he was
six one even. And there weren’t
a lot of single women in
and out of Live Oak.
It was
a nice enough resort, but it
wasn’t Club Med.
The Chicagoan
was a looker, all right. Very
nicely proportioned. Yep, Traci
Steele looked as attractive
as Cassie
had bragged her up to
be.
But he
wasn’t interested in a woman—no matter
how attractive or how intriguing. And he
definitely was not interested in a lawyer. It could
be fatal
to trust
a woman, and it damn near just about had to be fatal to trust a female
lawyer.
BLURB
Hot-shot Chicago prosecuting attorney Traci Steele works tirelessly
keeping rapists off the street to prevent other women from suffering the hell
she’s endured, so she resists her friends’ insistence that she take a two month
R&R in their California Live Oak condo—until they persuade her to help
their rancher friend as a private investigator.
Though he runs the stables at Live Oak, well-muscled mustached wrangler Scott McCord much prefers working with the racehorses he trains at his ranch, and he can’t believe his old friends have sent a greenhorn female to help him with horse troubles.
The improbable dance between this mismatched pair barely fits in around
the escalating suspense of whoever’s after Scott’s horses. Traci is as
tenacious in her sleuthing as she is terrified about her inability to ever love
a man. Can Scott succeed in gentling her – like he does his horses – before she
flees in panic?
