Excerpt:
Lora and Clint are moving forward with their plans for the Western Star ranch. The property next door has been purchased and the cattle have arrived. Lora should be elated, except she isn't. She and Clint have excellent chemistry together, both as partners and as lovers. Something is missing, and when her friend stumbles in her sobriety Lora realizes she isn't the only one with relationship problems. With all of the changes in the business, she wonders where exactly she and Clint stand. He hasn't said those three magic words yet and she's worried that this is only a business relationship with benefits.
Which might not be a bad thing, except that's not what she wants. She wants it all. Never before has the winner's circle been elusive.
NOTE: This is book 4 in a slow burn romance series featuring this couple. While their relationship heats up in this installment, you shouldn't miss a thing if you start here. But for the best reading experience, I encourage you to start with Western Star Episode 1: Spins Are Wild.
Excerpt:
The changes at Western Star hit Lora hard and fast. Clint remains by her side, her steadfast partner and lover. Everything depends on the big event to kick off the new direction for the ranch. But will an attachment to a bald-faced steer force Lora to realize that she's not cut out for the ranch's new ventures. And will it change her relationship with Clint?
In this final episode in the Western Star series, nothing ventured means nothing gained and a gift can change Lora's entire world.
