One of my favorite
things about being a romance author is giving my characters a second chance at
love. We all have that one person in our lives who made a romantic impact. For
some people, that feeling of long-lost love never went away. Others reunite and
go on to live happy, reconnected lives.

As fate and my
keyboard would have it, they get their second chance at love. One moment
between them stood out to me as their first step into realizing what they still
feel for each other.
I’d love to share
it with you! I hope you enjoy it.
Time had given the lines and edges
of Levi’s face a maturity that heightened his masculine appeal. And no doubt,
the military had provided him with the razor-sharp and completely
breath-stealing expression. Even in the dimmer cast of light, his eyes glowed
with intensity that shot a throb between her legs and a flicker of apprehension
in her breast.
He stopped, close enough that heat
radiated from his chest to hers. Around his neck, a silver chain disappeared
beneath his shirt. It didn’t take much to guess what the chain held, and she
wanted to see. She touched her fingertips to his collarbone, exhaling as if the
contact were the fuel she needed to breathe, tracing the chain and slowly
pulling it until a single dog tag slid up from beneath the fabric.
His name was stamped into it, the
metal tarnished on one edge as if it had been rubbed repeatedly. The tag rested
in her palm, warm from his body heat. One small, thin piece of metal
represented the different paths they’d taken. She’d held his tags before,
though he wouldn’t remember. She’d thought then, as she did now, what a strong,
admirable man he was. Levi Haywood was a damn good man.
She let go, and the tag clanked
against the chain as she stepped back. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have…”
“You never have to apologize for
touching me, Carrie.” Low, almost dangerous, the tone sent a sensual ripple
through her body. “In fact, I’d like you do it again, right now.”
Luckily
for these two, they have several more opportunities to figure out their love
before all hell breaks loose. I hope you’ll grab a copy of CAN’T RESIST A COWBOY, and enjoy this third foray into Paint River Ranch!

About Elizabeth Otto:
Elizabeth Otto grew up in a Wisconsin town the size of a postage stamp, where riding your horse to the grocery store, and skinny dipping after school were perfectly acceptable. No surprise that she often writes about small communities and country boys. She's the author of paranormal and hot, emotional, contemporary romance, and has no guilt over frequently making her readers cry. When not writing, she works full-time as an Emergency Medical Technician for a rural ambulance service. Elizabeth lives with her very own country boy and their three children in, shockingly, a small Midwestern town.
