When you gamble with desire, be prepared to risk everything…
Unlike the rest of the Hell's Eight brotherhood, Ace Parker's home isn't on the range. This restless cowboy craves the hustle of Simple, Texas, a lawless town where he can sate his darker appetites without guilt. At least he could, until Petunia Wayfield arrived. The prickly new teacher is insisting that Ace help her rid the town of drunkenness and card playing. For that kind of miracle, Ace demands a reward the spinster schoolmarm will surely never give.
But Petunia isn't backing down. Not when the intense passion Ace offers shatters her to the core. As soon as she can afford a ticket to California, she'll leave Simple behind for good. Until then, she'll match his sensual challenge with her own, daring him to give up his fiercely guarded self-control. And then real danger claims Petunia, forcing Ace to reveal the man he really is—even if it drives her away forever….

If you could have a valentines date with any of your heroes, who would it be, what would you do.
I would absolutely love to have a date with Sam from Sam’s Creed, the third book in the Hell’s Eight series. That man is just so intense, I can’t see any date with him being a fail. He has that wicked dry sense of humor, a love of life that just shines, and that core alpha mentality that makes me shiver in my shoes. He’s probably the only man with whom I’d go ice skating.
I’m a horrible ice skater. If you check in the Guinness Book of World Records, I’m reasonably sure I hold the record for the most falls in an afternoon. Which puts a real kink in my bucket list plan to skate on New Year’s day at Rockefeller Center in New York City. I, literally, spend more time with ice to butt contact than I do skate to ice contact, but with Sam, I can see this as being a completely positive experience.
Not that he’d ignore my tendency to tumble. It’d be darn hard to ignore that! But I can hear his laughter as I fell, feel the strength of his arms around me that split second before my butt hits the ice. Catching me. Holding me. Just imagine that, the anticipation of the fall caught up in the exhilaration of a man that knows just how to time the save. Imagine being suspended there in his arms, feeling the complete assurance with which he holds you, his warm breath caressing your neck as he whispers, “Got you.”
And just as you’re waffling between burning up in embarrassment or melting into a puddle of mush, he lifts you to your feet and takes the decision out of your hands. Slipping his arm around your waist, he propels you around the ice as if you’re the next contender for the Olympic team, making you look so good to all those who saw you tumbling moments before, mesmerizing you with his easy acceptance of your foibles and a hint of a grin as he murmurs, “Next time, work some arm flailing into that tumble.”
And when you ask why, a bit breathless of course, and not just because you almost fell, he’ll say, “It could be because I want everyone to see what a hero I am.“ Before you can even begin to be disappointed, he’ll flash you that oh-so-charming smile, whisk you deftly around the turn and say with dead pan seriousness, “But that’d be a lie. Truth is, I want to throw it in the face of every man eating his heart out on the rink that I’m the lucky bastard you chose to be with tonight.”
Oh yes, I’d so like a skating date with Sam.

Hell's Eight sounds like the name of a biker gang, instead of Cowboys! Great post.
ReplyDeleteI love the Hell's Eight. I have every books of this series except the current book. I'll be sad when the series comes to an end.
