Maverick (Star Valley Book 3)
Austin Barlow took a chance on a tapped out mine next to his family's ranch and now he's reaping the rewards in ways no one predicted. Austin's Folly is the talk of the state and he's pleased his brothers are being forced to eat crow.

He's accepting an award at a swanky hotel in the Grand Tetons for his efforts. The alcohol and accolades are flowing freely when a frisky filly with a ridiculously dirty mouth offers to throw a saddle on him and ride him hard. She's obviously in over her head and it's adorable.

Of course he'll take her up on her offer. You only live once, right? In the morning he'll be back at the Folly, and away from civilization for a while, so getting tangled in the hotel sheets with a pretty girl is just what he needs.

Leah Pierce has a new lease on life and she's grabbing the bull by the... horns. In town for a friend's wedding and spurred by bachelorette party hijinks, she stumbles into the hotel bar on uncomfortably high heels, looking for a set of cowboy boots. The pair she spots are on the sexiest man she's ever laid eyes on. With a little boost from her friend "Jack" she works up the courage to ask him to come up to her room.

The sex is incredible, the night unforgettable, even through the whiskey-soaked haze. In the morning Leah's crossed off another item on her Reverse Bucket List--and gotten a souvenir to boot--which is cause for concern. She needs to find her dreamy dude--and fast--even though she only got a first name.

Austin is stunned when his green broke little filly shows up at Snake River looking for him. She's got a newspaper tucked under her arm sporting his photo with a headline that reads "Wyoming Wild Man Works Wonders," but if she thinks she can snag herself a piece of the empire he and his brothers are rebuilding, she's got another thing coming.
