For the last five years Shan Ellis’ life has consisted of taking
care of his son and being a cowhand on his parents’ ranch. He scarified
everything to be a single dad. College. A career. Girls. Now, the one
woman he can’t forget is back in town. Can he take a chance, and risk his
heart, or steer clear and never know what might have been?

Excerpt:
His lips covered hers in a way that left no doubt to his
intentions—he was going to make her his tonight. She opened under his forceful
assault and his tongue plundered her mouth. He tasted like cinnamon or
peppermint. She didn’t know which, or care. All that mattered was the way his
lips and tongue tortured hers until she couldn’t think straight.

assault and his tongue plundered her mouth. He tasted like cinnamon or

lips and tongue tortured hers until she couldn’t think straight.
When he tested the weight of her breasts in his palms, her nipples
peaked and pressed against her satin bra. To give him access to them, she slid
back until her back was against the door. He covered her body with his bigger
one, feet on the floor, stuck under the steering wheel.

She moaned into his mouth.
He responded by releasing her lips. “Damn. How the hell did we ever
fit in here?”

“We didn’t.” She giggled.
“But we didn’t care back then.”
“But we didn’t care back then.”
“I seem to remember this a different way.” His voice was low, husky
and so full of need it sent shock waves straight between her legs. Before she
could react, he flipped their positions. He sat in the seat with her straddling
him. Reaching alongside the seat with his right hand, he moved the seat back
far as it would go.

More than the way his mouth on her breasts, his hands on her skin,
it was the way his soul touched hers that felt so right.

shudder ripped through his entire body.

Bio:
Falling in love with romance novels
the summer before sixth grade, D’Ann Lindun never thought about writing one
until many years later when she took a how-to class at her local college. She
was hooked! She began writing and never looked back. Romance appeals to her
because there’s just something so satisfying about writing a book guaranteed to
have a happy ending. D’Ann’s particular favorites usually feature cowboys and
the women who love them. This is probably because she draws inspiration from
the area where she lives, Western Colorado, her husband of twenty-nine years
and their daughter. Composites of their small farm, herd of horses, five
Australian shepherds, a Queensland heeler, two ducks and cats of every shape
and color often show up in her stories!
