Don't Hurt the Cowboy

A hot mess double date. A string of lies. And an innocent love that turns sizzling when Levi learns a secret…just in the nick of time.

Brush strokes, shutterflies, nature and storms, that’s all I know. Until Levi finds me hiding out in the woods, in uncharted territory, and I run. He chases me but I’ve run before, many times. When he finds me, in my own element, I relax. He’s a sweet man, and as sexy as the day is long, but I can’t have him. No, he’s spoken for. That cowboy, along with all the others, well, they always run when they find out about me. It’s a good secret to keep, but once Levi finds out, it’s like suddenly the whole world knows. You would think that would keep him away, but it doesn’t. He buys one of my pieces and I think that that’s the last I’ll see of him, but it isn’t. And then I have to stop him before he completely messes up both of our lives by pegging himself as a gigolo, and me as the town ‘special’ needs girl.

Of course it had to happen to me. I’m having a bad day, and I need to blow off some steam, so I go for a ride. When I find her on Billy’s ranch, trespassing, she runs like hell. After a little digging in town, I find out who she is, and then she’s all I can think about. Lennie is gorgeous and talented, and I’m in so much trouble. I can’t just walk away. From either of them. Because I’m in deep doo doo for the next eighteen years with one, and the other, because my mind and my heart won’t let me. Can Lennie and I just stay friends? I’ll take what I can get with her. But is it worth the price to live a lie? Is it really the right thing to do? I’m not sure yet. And then when I find out the truth, about both girls, it all becomes crystal clear.
