Book Excerpt

“You’re the queen of fundraisers, huh?” Reggie asked. 

Natalie squinted at his mesmerizing eyes and wide smile. Where had she seen him before? He belonged on the cover of a glossy magazine, the way his dark hair and green eyes combined with the Western-style tuxedo he sported so casually. 

“No, I’m not,” she finally corrected him. “Esther really oversold me. I just made a few phone calls.” 

“Oh. Well, I attended the ACR Gala last year,” he said, tugging at the neck of his shirt. So maybe not as effortlessly comfortable as she thought. “I was really impressed with that event,” he stated. 

When his smile bloomed, a light bulb went off. He was one of the celebrities that had been auctioned off— the famous bull rider. 

“You were one of the men—” 

“Yes,” he snapped, then shook his head. “Sorry for that.” Pink climbed up his neck and onto his face. 

She couldn’t believe she was speaking to a legend in the bull riding community. 

“Listen, how about you stop by the ranch Monday morning and we can discuss the job further?” 

Natalie needed a fresh start, so she might as well drop by their ranch on Monday. Who knew what might come of this?
