Cady's Cowboy — Jory Strong

When Sheriff Kix Branaman comes to the aid of a friend who has been suspended from the racetrack because her horses tested positive for cocaine, the last thing he expects to do is fall for a private investigator on the case. But one look at Cady Montgomery has him just about ready to hand her the rope to hog-tie him. And when she tells him to "tone down the randy ol' cowboy routine" and keep things professional... …well, that's like waving a flag at an excited bull.

As soon as Cady Montgomery sees the sheriff from Texas, she knows that he's trouble with a capital H for heartbreak. Lean, lanky, and gorgeous, he might as well have stepped out of a "Sexy Cowboys of the West" calendar. She'd like to keep her mind on the case, her heart out of risk, and her hormones under control. But that's going to be hard to do around Kix -- especially when his sense of humor and cowboy charm make her want to wrap her body around his and take the ride of a lifetime.
