Sex, Secrets, and Second Chances\u2026<\/p>\n
Rodney Regent works hard running the family ranch, and it shows in every rock-hard muscle on his body. Known for his jaw-dropping smile, he has captured the hearts of women, young and old,
\nall over the small Texas town he calls home. Rodney is single and loving it, until he sees a photograph that grabs his heart and won\u2019t let go. As his luck would have it, the one woman he has always wanted is engaged to someone else. No matter how hard he tries, he can\u2019t forget her.
\nThen the news comes that Joseph and Cady McCoy will visit Regent Ranch. The change they bring with them includes more than just Cady\u2019s magic touch, it brings the woman of Rodney’s dreams to his doorstep.<\/p>\n
EXCERPT<\/strong><\/p>\n Lola Maie woke to Rodney moving fast out of bed. \u201cGet dressed. Someone\u2019s outside.\u201d His voice was low and firm. It was no doubt a command, which she followed immediately trusting him completely.<\/p>\n A multitude of lights moved across the long windows lining his bedroom. People were outside. A lot of them.<\/p>\n Then she heard it.<\/p>\n It was a low thumping, something she felt in her sternum before it registered in her ears. Lola Maie\u2019s eyes went wide as she recognized the rapidly growing sound of a helicopter.<\/p>\n Rodney pulled on a pair of jeans laying over chair. In the moving shadows of flashlights racing back and forth, he looked enormous. His broad shoulders, silhouetted against the shocking white of the helicopters eye, seemed six feet wide. Rushing toward her, he all but lifted her off her feet, tucking the bed sheet around her as he swept her towards a small door. \u201cI want you to get in this closet and lock the door. It\u2019s a panic room. Under the carpet in the left corner is everything you\u2019ll need. You don\u2019t open this door until I tell you and not before.\u201d<\/p>\n Lola Maie just stared at him.<\/p>\n \u201cYou hear me? Promise me. Right now, say it!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI promise.\u201d She breathed.<\/p>\n Then he shoved her inside and slammed the door. \u201cI want to hear it click Lola Maie!\u201d He yelled through the metal door. The command in his voice brooked no argument and with a shaking hand she reached out and turned the deadbolt. After such a warm night of intimacy, having the cold hard door between them felt deeply wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cGood. Now wait for me, baby. I\u2019ll be back\u201d<\/p>\n Lola Maie\u2019s heart squeezed listening as the thunder of his steps became more and more faint as he ran. Until finally there was silence. It was the worst sound she\u2019d ever heard.<\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m Lana, a life-long Texan, dog lover, and writer of sensual romance. When I say ‘sensual romance’ I mean I include real life in my stories, and real life includes sex.<\/p>\n I divide my time between Austin Texas and a small family ranch not far from Shiner. Shiner is the home of Shiner beer; I’ve been known to stop off at their tasting room before rolling up my sleeves to get to work on the ranch. Like many Texans I’ve got a bit of everything in me, German, Native American, and some Creole influence. Nothing like a little spice to liven things up.<\/p>\n Writing is much like reading, I need to feel the story in the same way a reader would. I adore leading men who are strong, but aren’t afraid to love. My goal is to fall in love as I write, it’s the only way my reader will as well.<\/p>\n Come with me and get to know a hot cowboy or two. It’ll be fun!<\/p>\n Amazon<\/a> | Facebook<\/a> | Goodreads<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sex, Secrets, and Second Chances\u2026 Rodney Regent works hard running the family ranch, and it shows in every rock-hard muscle on his body.
