Don't Tease the Cowboy

Cassidyâs only hurting because of his past life. And it ainât my fault that weâve got something in common that doesnât rub him right. But nothing spells trouble like whatâs going on at his brotherâs ranch. Except when Cassidyâs past catches up to me and heâs got a problem with me for it. The nerve. I soon learn though, that heâs got his reasons, and theyâre good ones, too. It takes a tragedy for me to learn the difference. Luckily, heâs right there with me to see me through. Until his brotherâs past catches up with him, too. And thatâs when weâre all in trouble...and at the worst time, because itâs right when my sister Jade and her love Blair say their vows. Karma is a real problem.Â

Karmaâs got nothing to do with it. Itâs all about sense. And Crystal didnât have much of it in the beginning. Mixing with this and that, but all this time, I didnât know why she was avoiding what was right in front of her. It takes time for it to sink in, but when it does, it also takes guts for her to confront her demons and be honest for the first dang time in her life. Fear is a powerful thing. And when youâve been driven by it your whole life, hiding from it, too, itâs something to figure that all out. Especially when it comes clear after tragedy. Itâs the look in her eyes that draws me in, see. That look that I hadnât ever seen before. I just hope that I get to see that look for a long time, but Iâm not sure after what happens at Blairâs wedding.  Â
Â
...maybe that look will haunt me for the rest of my life...or maybe itâll be my dearest blessing.Â

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'.
