What are you going to tell us about today?
* My story Last of the Red Hot Cowboys. A sexy cowgirl gives a rugged Texas loner the ride of his life in USA Today bestselling author Tina Leonard’s seductive new series.

A look into the story
~ Blurb ~
* Ava Buchanan dreams of a career on the rodeo circuit. Winning a spot on a one-of-a-kind team would be her ticket to the life she’s always wanted. Ava won’t let anyone stand in her way—not even a stubborn cowboy whose slow-molasses smile and red-hot swagger set her senses aflame . . . and whose talents as a trainer could make her a star. Rodeo might be a man’s game, but Ava knows the right woman’s touch can tame the wildest heart.
* Trace Carter believes his mayor’s plan to raise the town’s profile has disaster written all over it, and he won’t allow the Hell’s Outlaws Training Center to be dragged into the fiasco. Yet watching Ava’s delectable body on horseback proves too much of a temptation, and his fantasies stray to her riding skills outside the arena. Soon Trace is fighting like hell to rein in his unbridled desire for the petite brunette before it becomes a passion hotter than the Texas sun.
~ Excerpt ~
* “Go away,” she told Trace.
* That was it? He’d given her a kiss to melt the hardest heart, and she was telling him to drop dead? “Hey,” he said, “don’t freak out.”
* “Do I look freaked out?” She walked her horse inside the barn, checked that Mack had fresh, cool water and plenty of fresh hay. “This is the face of annoyed.”
* That wasn’t a woman’s typical response to his kissing. “I’m sorry. I jumped the gun.”
* “You jumped more than the gun, buster.” She put her horse into a stall, checked the hay, filled the water, brushed past him.
* He followed her as she sashayed toward her own beat-up blue truck she’d driven from Virginia. “Ava.”
* “What?” She moved a mountain of paper and horse stuff from the front seat to the back.
* “Can you forget that happened?”
* “Easily.” She got in her truck, switched the engine on, rolled down the window. “I already have.”
* He jumped back as she peeled away, shredding his gravel drive. Trace grinned.
* She might try to forget, but that kiss was going to last him a while.
* It had to. He wasn’t touching the lady again—she was going to have to make the next move.
