Please note, this is a NEW ADULT novel.
The
Wild Ones
Passion as hot as midnight
in the South and love as wild as the horses they tame.
Camille “Cami” Hines is the darling daughter of the South’s champion
thoroughbred breeder, Jack Hines. She
has a pedigree that rivals some of her father’s best horses. Other than feeling a little suffocated at
times, Cami thought she was pretty happy with her boyfriend, her life and her
future.
But that was before she met Patrick Henley.
“Trick” blurs the lines between what Cami wants and what is expected
of her. He’s considered the “help,”
which is forbidden fruit as far as her father is concerned, not to mention that
Trick would be fired if he ever laid a hand on her. And Trick needs his job. Desperately.
His family depends on him.
The heart wants what the heart wants, though, and Trick and Cami are
drawn to each other despite the obstacles. At least the ones they know of.
When Trick stumbles upon a note from his father, it triggers a
series of revelations that could ruin what he and Cami have worked so hard to
overcome. It turns out there’s more to
Trick’s presence at the ranch than either of them knew, secrets that could tear
them apart.
EXCERPT:
From the corner of my eye, I see Cami
fidget. At first, it appears to be a
nervous thing. But when I glance at her,
she looks at me and smiles. It’s a bright smile. Bright and …excited, which makes me think
it’s not all bad nerves. In fact, it makes me twitch a little in my
jeans, which is never a good thing when I’m getting ready to strip down in
front of mixed company.
Without even pausing, Jenna pulls her shirt
over her head then reaches for Rusty’s.
While they’re all wrapped up in removing each other’s clothes, I turn
more toward Cami.
“Are you sure you’re up for this?”
She takes a deep breath and grins at
me. “Yep. You?”
I nod.
“Yep.”
She puts one small hand on my arm and looks
me in the eye. “It’ll be fine, you
know. Drogheda would never tell on me,
so you don’t need to worry, okay?”
She’s worrying about me worrying? Now I feel bad for telling her how important
this job is.
“I’m not worried,” I assure her. “I trust you.”
Her smile is sweet and pleased and it makes
me want to kiss her. Hell, everything
she does makes me want to kiss her.
“Good.
You should.”
As if she’s making her point, Cami takes a
few steps back and pulls her shirt over her head. She does it quickly and then holds it in
front of her and waits. That’s my cue to
shed a piece of clothing, too.
In the brightness of the full moon, I can
see her eyes twinkling devilishly. She’s
so coy. So damned adorably coy.
God,
it would be so much fun to have her all to myself for one night. Just one night. Maybe that would be enough to get her out of
my system.
“All right then, Mr. Rock Hard Abs, show me
what you got,” she demands teasingly.
She doesn’t have to ask me twice! Grabbing a handful of shirt behind my neck, I
pull it over my head. But I throw mine on one of the white lounge chairs, sort of like upping the
ante a little. Her eyes flicker down my
chest and stomach. My muscles
tighten. I see her gaze drop lower then
hurry back to my face. She’s curious.
She wants to look, she wants to see what’s under my jeans, but she’s
trying not to show it. I bite back a
groan.
What I wouldn’t give to carry her off to
someplace more private…
