GENRE: Western Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A dashing man from back east meets an
unconventional Native American woman and they join hearts against all odds in
this spellbinding tale of passion and western adventure from New York Times
bestselling author Bobbi Smith.
Chance Broderick has plenty of charm and more
than enough wealth, and his life among the Boston Brahmins offers plenty of
tempting distractions. But when he receives word that his brother is in grave
danger in the Arizona Territory, Chance dutifully travels west to help. There
he finds wild, vast lawless lands full of surprises. But his greatest shock on
the frontier is when he discovers that the tracker he’s hired is not the brash
young boy he assumed, but a beautiful young Native American woman, Rori.
Raised by her Native American grandfather
after the death of her white father and her Pima mother, Rori is an expert
tracker who knows how to fend for herself. Chance is fascinated but she takes
an instant dislike to him and nothing will satisfy her more than showing the
arrogant man from back east a thing or two about how things are done on the
frontier out west. Nothing could satisfy her more, that is, except the pleasure
of his searing touch, his soft kisses. For Rori can’t help craving Chance as
fiercely as he desires her and as they overcome the worlds of indifference and
hostility which threaten to separate them, they find true love is their one
destiny.

EXCERPT:
Chance didn’t know what had awakened him. He glanced around
and noticed nothing out of order. It seemed Burr and Rori were both still
asleep across the campsite. Relaxing his guard, he closed his eyes again, and
it was then he heard something in the direction of the creek.
Chance knew he hadn’t imagined it. He slid his gun out of
his holster and got up to make his way down to the water’s edge. He moved
quietly, staying hidden in the brush. He could hear a slight splashing in the
water. He wasn’t sure what he’d been expecting, but the sight of Rori taking a
bath was the last thing he would have imagined. The whole situation would have
been funny, if it didn’t make him feel like such a fool. He’d been ready to
shoot whatever intruder he found there, and the intruder turned out to be the
obstinate boy!
Chance wanted to throttle him. What the hell was he doing
taking a bath?! The temptation to embarrass him was too great to pass up. The
scrawny kid was standing totally naked with his back to him in waist-deep
water. Chance knew if he moved quickly, he could take him by surprise and give
him the scrubbing he well deserved.
Without another thought, he laid his gun aside and charged
into the water, grabbing the boy by his shoulders. It occurred to him that the
boy felt awfully soft and fragile, but he didn’t stop to think about it. He
just picked him up and dunked him good.
Rori gave a small shriek of outrage as someone grabbed her
from behind and pushed her underwater. For a moment she actually feared for her
life, but the powerful hands that held her quickly released her and she
surfaced sputtering mad.
“What the—?” she spat out in furious indignation as she came
up and faced her attacker. She forgot she was naked. “YOU!”
“You’re lucky I didn’t shoot you!” Chance began laughing, but
his laughter stopped abruptly as his gaze dropped from Rori’s outraged
expression to the perfection of her breasts, bared now to his gaze in all their
feminine glory. He froze.
