After a gallery opening ends in a trip to the ER and an argument with her self-involved boyfriend, she decides to take off for the peace and quiet of a small town — Ruth Valley.

Jameson even finds the perfect house to rent from the town’s most eligible bachelor, Sheriff Jack. Life is finally headed in a promising direction. But something isn't right. A young man is mysteriously injured, then disappears — and Jameson finds he isn't the only person to suddenly vanish. The suspicious behavior of an abrasive nun and a creepy priest set her off on an investigation of what's really happening.

There's a reason Western romance novels never go out of fashion. The cowboy is an iconic figure embodying the dichotomy of the fiercely independent, earthy alpha male juxtaposed with the male as a nurturer and protector. Cowboys take care of their women in every possible way. Wild and wayward women are gentled by the scent of horse and cow and the sight of sun-kissed skin, the feel of work-hardened thighs and arms, and the sound of a deep-voiced Texas drawl. Contributors at the top of the Western romance genre, including Charlene Teglia, Randi Alexander, and Cat Johnson, have corralled here strong and memorable characters ranging from a rodeo star and a cop on horseback to a feisty female gunslinger. Traversing romantic settings from Montana, Texas, California, Mexico, and the Outback of Australia, the stories in Cowboy Lust are risky and risqué, full of studs in spurs hot enough to send you to a vacation on a dude ranch!Review"Cowboy Lust is a bevy of hot, hard cowboys ready to give you more than an 8 second ride. Believe me, you don't want to miss this collection. I savored each story like a piece of delicious chocolate, one bite at a time."—Beth Williamson, author of Hell for Leather"When taking the elements of a traditional western and adding in an erotic romance, you get the best of both worlds—a smokin’ hot, take charge cowboy who gets the girl in the end, rather than riding off into the sunset alone. It’s gratifying in erotic western romance, to finally kick that bedroom door wide open and see just what the heck makes that man tick. To get a front row seat to his hidden passion, his sexual inventiveness, and to witness the sweetness that a tough man will show only to the woman who owns him, heart and soul. Because cowboys are a breed apart, it takes a special lady to see beneath that gruff exterior. A woman willing to unlock that passionate side, any time, anywhere—against the barn, or in a dusty pickup, over a hay bale or in a soft bed at the end of a long day. A woman that knows actions speak louder than words. A woman who understands that once you’ve had a cowboy’s boots under your bed and a big, strong body keeping you hot every night, you’ll never settle for anything less. Feeling that tingle of lust yet? Luckily, there are several great short stories in store for you, to kick that lust into high gear. Can I get a yee-haw? My hat is off to all the great contributors to Cowboy Lust! Readers are in for a real treat—so sit back, prop your boots up on the coffee table, and enjoy the ride."—From the foreword by Lorelei JamesFrom the Back CoverCari Quinn--Riding DoubleCheyenne Blue--Under the Southern CrossRandi Alexander--Banging the CowboyCat Johnson--Ladies Love Country BoysMichael Bracken--DroughtCharlene Teglia--RopedM.
