Colton is exactly the kind of
distraction Amber doesn't want, but he might be exactly what she needs to get
back on track.
Recovering from a bad fall during
competition, Amber McDonald decides to spend her last week of training before
her next rodeo at a Colorado ranch, away from any and all distractions. It'd be
the perfect arrangement—if only her fear wasn't stopping her from getting back
on her horse.
Then Colt Riley steps in. He's sexy
and seems to have incredible insight into her situation, but he's everything
she's been trying to stay away from.
Colt knows exactly what Amber is
going through...because he's been there before. Forced to give up his riding
career after an accident, he sets his mind to helping her get back on track.
All that's easier said than done, especially when she discovers his hidden
past. Will his efforts be enough to help her get ahead?
Why I Write Happily-Ever-Afters
by Emily Cale
A lot of romance
authors can trace their roots back to an old book they stole from their mother,
an older sister, or even their grandmother. I stole thrillers, or, more
accurately, they were given to me by my mom and teachers. There is nothing
wrong with these books and I'm still a sucker for Robin Cook and Ken Follett,
but when I sat down to write, I discovered I'm nothing like either of them.
This isn't the story of
why I write romance. This is about why I love happily ever after endings and
the thought of putting two people together. I'll sum in up in one sentence for
you: Life is better when you have someone to share it with.
I came to this full
realization on my last work trip out of the country. I was alone in my room and
the hot water heater for the shower broke. Again. Since the main tube was off,
water was shooting straight from the pipes across the room and hitting the
wall. The only way to fix it is to trudge through the water and turn it off at
the sources, then put the tubes back in place. By the time I finished this
task, I was tired, cranky, and generally annoyed. As I crawled back into bed, I
started thinking about performing the same task on my previous visit. That time
I hadn't been as careful and ended up with second degree burns on both my hands
from handling the hot water pipes. It also took a lot longer since I didn't
know what I was doing. Somehow, I still had far more fun that time. The reason?
I shared the room with a friend and co-worker who laughed with me the whole
time.
Does sharing something
with another person make a certain task better for you? I'll pick one commenter
to win an e-book copy of Getting Ahead.
