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.
Today’s except follows last week’s, in the resort barns…
EXCERPT
Becoming slightly
steadier on her feet, Traci
continued her search for McCord. She heard
a male voice and slowed her
approach. The voice was coming
from the end stall.
“You’re gonna
be okay,
girl.”
Traci warmed
at the man’s soothing
tone.
“You just took a bad step, that’s all. Don’t know
who was more startled, you or the bobcat. This
wrap will help keep the
swelling down. I’ll check on
you later.”
Traci knew
immediately when Scott McCord saw
her standing there staring wide-eyed
like some kid on her
first visit to a zoo. His
eyes narrowed and then grew cold.
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?
