Brush strokes, shutterflies, nature and storms, that's all I know. Until Levi finds me hiding out in the woods, in uncharted territory, and I run. He chases me but I've run before, many times. When he finds me, in my own element, I relax. He's a sweet man, and as sexy as the day is long, but I can't have him. No, he's spoken for. That cowboy, along with all the others, well, they always run when they find out about me. It's a good secret to keep, but once Levi finds out, it's like suddenly the whole world knows. You would think that would keep him away, but it doesn't. He buys one of my pieces and I think that that's the last I'll see of him, but it isn't. And then I have to stop him before he completely messes up both of our lives by pegging himself as a gigolo, and me as the town 'special' needs girl.
***
Of course it had to happen to me. I'm having a bad day, and I need to blow off some steam, so I go for a ride. When I find her on Billy's ranch, trespassing, she runs like hell. After a little digging in town, I find out who she is, and then she's all I can think about. Lennie is gorgeous and talented, and I'm in so much trouble. I can't just walk away. From either of them. Because I'm in deep doo doo for the next eighteen years with one, and the other, because my mind and my heart won't let me. Can Lennie and I just stay friends? I'll take what I can get with her. But is it worth the price to live a lie? Is it really the right thing to do? I'm not sure yet. And then when I find out the truth, about both girls, it all becomes crystal clear.
Fair warning: ALL Sandy's western romances end with a cliffhanger, so if that's not your thing....sorry!
If you're not into addictive, heartwarming, sexy stories about cowboys and the women that they fall fast and hard for...move on.
About the Author
Sandy's first job out of high school was as an assistant animal groomer. Among many other jobs in her career, she's also worked at a prestigious winery that many well-known celebrities have patronized. With a college degree in Administration, she has several years of desk work under her belt, including her most current job at an established charity.
Often found in the lunchroom writing voraciously, Sandy has been called a 'writing machine'. Despite her forty-hour a week job, she still publishes many books each year. With a literary back list born in 2010, Sandy has branched out into several genres.
Married with two children and two furbabies, Sandy is a lover of all things four-legged. A strong advocate of health & fitness, you'll find her doing Yoga in her living room at 5:00 weekday mornings, which is sometimes when new story ideas come to light. Writing, like exercise, is a daily practice for this author. She's received 5 Stars from Readers' Favorite for 'Betrayal Only Comes in Green', and 'The Man with the Black Belt'.
