With: Anya Summers
Visiting the Black Elkhorn Lodge and Resort is Mia Evans’s last option. She’s bordering on a nervous breakdown. Everyone in her life she thought she could count on deserted her. And, to make matters worse, she has the foulest case of writer’s block in the history of the world. She figures getting herself out of the prison her apartment in Chicago has become will help jar her life and her writing out of the rut they are in. But she isn’t prepared for the surly, sexy cowboy – who looks like her every dark fantasy come alive – riding into her life on his trusty steed.
Cole Stewart only loved one woman in all his thirty-five years, until he lost her forever and swore he would never love another. Since then he’s had a revolving door with the subs at his lifestyle club Cuffs & Spurs, all with the unwritten rule that he doesn’t get involved or do relationships of any kind, period. That is, until Mia Evans, the burned-out, anxiety ridden author, needing to get away from her real life, nearly runs him over with her car. Seeing the haunted expression in her gaze and a body he craves, the Dom in him knows he must have her, must taste her and feel her writhing beneath him. But will he be willing to risk his heart for the untamed passion he finds in her arms?

Excerpt
Behind
the registration desk was a blonde woman, roughly around her age. But where Mia
felt she looked like a bedraggled escapee from the local loony bin, this woman,
in her pretty ivory blouse and pinstripe navy blue blazer, appeared to be a
calm and confident businesswoman.
Mia
wished she had a tenth of the woman’s poise.
Her
face lit up at spying Mia and she said, “Hi, welcome to the Black Elkhorn
Lodge. I’m Billie. How can I help you today?”
“I,
um, have a reservation,” Mia said in a pained whisper. She kept herself from
wringing her hands together, but just barely.
“And
your name, hon?” Billie asked, not showing any sign that she thought Mia was
crazy.
“It’s
Mia. Mia Evans.”
Billie’s
smile widened at her name. “Miss Evans, yes, I have you down here as arriving
today. It looks like you are going to be with us for a month, correct?”
“Yes.”
If she made it that long. She might be carted off to the asylum before then.
So…
“Perfect.
I will just need your driver’s license and a major credit card for any amenities,
since you’ve already paid for your stay in full. We’ve put you in cabin D, and
it is just the sweetest little place that I think you will adore. Here are your
keys. It’s one of our luxury cabins and an absolute peach. We stocked the
refrigerator and pantry as you requested. I put together this packet of all the
information about our tours, what to do with your trash, whom to contact if you
need after-hours maintenance, and some of the local attractions in the area. If
you have any questions about any of the information, just let me or one of the
other clerks know and we can help you out. The Elkhorn Restaurant is open until
eight every weeknight and nine on the weekends. Trust me, you will want to
experience Chef Emily’s cooking. It’s simply out of this world.”
“Okay,
thanks.”
Billie
whipped out a map and circled a building with a pen. “This is where we are, the
main lodge. To get to your cabin, take the road here, make a right when you
come to the three-way split in the road, and your cabin will be the last one at
the end of the drive.”
“Great.”
That way, if she had a total meltdown, there would be fewer people around to
witness the spectacle.
“And
if there’s anything at all that you need or have a question about, don’t
hesitate to contact us here at the front desk,” Billie said and gave Mia a
friendly smile.
Perhaps
a padded cell or a personality transplant?
But
Mia just nodded and replied quietly, “Okay, thank you.”
She
scooped up the packet, the map, and keys. Then Billie handed her license and credit
card back. With everything clutched in her hands, Mia headed back out to her
SUV, setting the packet on the passenger seat.
She
started the engine and began backing out of her space—only to slam on her
brakes.
Shit! Crap! Dammit!
She
blanched. She’d nearly taken out a guy on horseback.
Mia
could imagine the headlines now: Famed
Author Mows Down Innocent Cowboy! More in the news at eleven!
