More handsome than ever, she has a hard time protecting her heart. What can she do? What does she do? How can she ever forgive him?Enjoy the "The Four Steps," a rodeo and ranch romance.Just a peek inside:Burn backed up a step to look at her fully and ran his fingers through her tangled hair, putting it behind her shoulders, caressing her skin. She shuddered, and his insides went weak when soft breasts moved against his chest. She could bark at him all she wished. But he was not running away.Holding each other, standing braced against the wall, Riley's hands explored a strong back. Burn buried his face against her neck, taking in a bouquet of feminine aura mixed with sweat, shampoo, and horse. Before they separated, they kissed with urgency again. Riley became aroused when his tongue touched hers, and she almost wrapped her legs around his waist but settled for snuggling against him as close as possible.
