Each day, I'll post a snippet or quip from any of the 'boyfriends' in any of my six books. All you have to do is show up, comment, and enter the Rafflecopter givaway. What do you win from me? Probably a $5 GC from amazon. Or your choice from my back list. Just tell me which hero of the day you find the most fascinating, LOL!
Wild At Heart has not one, but four special guys in it: Steve, the ex-NBA star/ex-con who is trying to turn his life around and win back his 1st love;
Brad, who travels to Denver, Colorado to invest in a small company and wins the heart of a feisty cowgirl;
Robert, a sexy cowboy who was involved with the lady boss until Brad showed up;
And Gavin, whose investment company brought Brad to town. His romance with the ranch cook was held very much on the down-low, but who says romance is for only the young?
Steve:
“I’m just going to say this.” His voice sounded rough. “I love you. You’re the one thing that kept me going, that kept me from going to ‘Prison Tech 101’. After I got clean, I decided I was going to do whatever it took to serve my time, and get a respectable job, all so I could win you back.” He cleared his throat. “God, Ange…I swear to you…that one dose of speed fucked up my future, but I’m not going to let it fuck up the rest of my life. I’m staying with Josh; I’ve got my driver’s license, tomorrow I’m buying a car. And my parole officer’s trying to help me get a good job, so I can afford my own place.”
Brad, Emma, Gavin:

Brad, Emma, Gavin:
“Brad’s almost finished shaving. He’ll be out in a minute.” She settled into the chair opposite his and sipped her coffee.
Gavin pushed a basket of doughnuts her way. “Here. I saw your truck this morning, and brought you some breakfast.”
Emma laughed when she recognized Nora’s Longaberger basket. “So I wasn’t the only one out late?” She curved her lips into a sly smile.
“The only one with the sense to return to his own bed before getting caught,” he retorted. “And I don’t sing Rock Star in the shower.”
“You heard that, huh? Brad likes to listen to the radio, and we both like Nickleback.” She defended their impromptu duet.
“The sheep heard you and decided to stay up in the mountains longer."
Robert:

Robert:
“Does he love you?” Another nod. “Well then, the best thing for me is to bow out. I can’t compete if the feeling’s mutual.” Bob finished the job for her and placed the saddle on its shelf. “Come here.” He enfolded her in his arms and held her. “I won’t say it’s going be easy for me, handing you over to another man. In all fairness, the closest you ever came to expressing any affection for me was ‘Fuck, you’re fantastic’, and the time you nearly made me deaf with all your screaming.” He tipped her head up. “But if you love him, and he makes you happy, well, I’m okay with that. But if he hurts you, he’ll have to answer to me.”
Nora/Gavin:
“Love is funny, you fall into it when you least expect it.” Nora sighed. “I suspect you know about Gavin by now.”
Emma nodded. “I thought maybe you two were an item last fall, because he kept coming to dinner. And then the other day, he had fresh doughnuts in your favorite basket.”
“Another example of illogical feelings. He lives and works two hours away, but during late spring to early fall, he’s up here every weekend, or even a week or two at a time. But it suits us just fine.” Nora patted her knee. “And if we ever retire, we’re going to live quite comfortably in his cabin.”
“He’s already asked you?”
“Sweetheart, I told him. Gavin’s too shy to ask.”

I liked Robert from your blog post. I simply adored his romantic lines: “But if you love him, and he makes you happy, well, I’m okay with that. But if he hurts you, he’ll have to answer to me.” He seems really a good man at heart, and will never hurt the girl whom he loves so much as to give up his claim on her, just to see her happy.
