Her Dream Cowboy
The
front door opened, and an honest to goodness cowboy stepped out. Sophie
blinked, wondering if the heat had gotten to her. England was freezing at this
time of year. Perhaps she hadn’t acclimatized properly.
Wearing
a blue flannel shirt, a hat—a Stetson,
right?—boots and worn jeans, the man embodied just about everything she’d
ever pictured in a cowboy. Even from a distance, she saw his muscles flex with
each movement as he strolled casually toward her. She couldn’t quite see the
color of his hair yet, but his skin was a deep tan, making her acutely aware of
her pale English rose coloring.
He
stopped in front of her, his frame towering over her. And she was hardly short.
Wide shoulders spread out before her, a V of flesh almost in her eye-line, and
her mouth dried. She glanced up to be greeted by pale grey eyes set into a
chiseled face. Christ, this guy was no metrosexual, unlike the London city boys
she was used to.
Creases
around his eyes suggested he laughed a lot, and his strong nose had a slight
bump in the bridge, implying he’d broken it once. A tiny white scar skimmed the
top of it and Sophie concluded he must have either taken a punch to the face or
fallen on it. With muscles like those, she went for fighting but he didn’t look
aggressive.
“Sophie
Duncan?”
Oh
God, he drawled. Her knees shook as
she extended a hand. “Y-yes, that’s me. A pleasure to meet you.” What was it
about foreign accents that made her sound even more like the Queen? She sounded
ridiculous!
“Luke
Harper. Nice to meet you. Can I take that?”
“Uh…”
Before she could respond, he took her suitcase and led her into the ranch,
stepping back to hold the door open.
“We’re
just winding down from tourist season,” he said as he set down the suitcase and
stepped behind the counter to grab a set of keys, “so it’s a little quiet. There
was a group of four that joined us yesterday but they’ve gone out already.” He
glanced at something on the desk and frowned. “Wasn’t there meant to be two of
you? Didn’t you book a second person on the trip?”
Sophie
drew her gaze from her surroundings to nod. “Yeah, my friend kind of bailed on
me. So it’s just me.” She tried to grin, but it probably came out as a nervous
smile.
His
eyes twinkled when he removed his hat and dropped it on the counter.
Blond.
Dark golden blond. And ridiculously touchable-looking. Sophie bent her hand
into a fist to prevent herself from launching at him and thrusting her fingers
into his hair. It curled at his nape and looked as if it needed a good cut, but
it was beautiful compared to the carefully styled look of her ex-husband,
David.
“Guess
it will just be the two of us then,” he said with a flash of white teeth.
“T-two
of us?”
“Yeah, I’ll be taking you out. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”
Her
Dream Cowboy by Samantha Holt
Talked
into experiencing ranch life for herself by her best friend, Sophie comes all
the way from England to Nevada, alone. But while her friend may have abandoned
her, her guide for the week promises to stick close to her side.
A
guide who just happens to be an honest to goodness, sexy cowboy.
Luke
Harper is a busy man. He’s dedicated years to turning his ranch into a
successful holiday business and he’s yet to find a woman who can deal with the
realities of dating a cowboy. In his experience, they’re all after a dream. But
Sophie proves too tempting for her own good and Luke can’t help wondering if
the gorgeous woman would be willing to give him a chance.
Or
is she just looking for a dream cowboy too?
