Christmas with the Millionaire Cowboy

The only thing Penny Shepherd loved more than the Rocking J Ranch she called home, was the cowboy that held her heart in his calloused hands. The only thing she hated worse than being thought of as his stepsister, was being the overweight girl that couldn't possibly catch his eye.

Ryan Jacobs felt not one ounce of brotherly love toward Penny Shepherd. And it was getting harder to pretend that he did. What he did feel was something so raw and powerful that it ate away at his gut a little more each day.

With Christmas fast approaching, will these two hearts find a bit of holiday magic?

EXCERPT:

Ryan left the house as fast as his cowboy shod feet allowed. He had to get away before he did something crazy like kiss Penny until they both ran out of breath. He wouldn’t even need the damn mistletoe hanging in the doorway to pretend.

He was tired of pretending.

He wanted to drag her beneath the Christmas tree and see just how naughty he could be. Ryan didn’t know what he’d been about to say and was torn between being angry at his stepmother for interrupting them and grateful that she had. The touch of Penny’s hand on his face had gone straight to his groin.

Two of the cowboys gave him a wide berth as he entered the barn. He knew why. He’d been like a bear with a sore paw for the last few months. Ever since Penny had gone on a date with the rancher next door. At last count they’d went out over six times. Which was six times too many.

The thought of Penny with another man made him crazy. The thought of another man tasting her lips or touching her in all the intimate places he longed to, made him murderous.

He still smelled her delicious fragrance. It was drowning him, tantalizing him, seducing him. Lord, help him, that’s what he wanted to do to her. Seduce her. Make her lose all those inhibitions and hang-ups he knew she had about her size.
