Devils on Horseback: Gideon, Book 5 (21 page)

“Before I got here, I thought family was people you shared blood with. Your kin.” She shook her head. “I was dead wrong. Family is people who love you and who you love, no matter what blood they have. You’re my family now because I love you.” She swallowed the lump that had formed.

“I love you too, honey.” He started unbuttoning his own shirt while his gaze followed her hands as she continued to undress.

Chloe felt a surge of pure love for this man. She smiled at him. “That reverend better marry us soon, since we’re committing a sin.” She stepped toward him and put his hands on her aching bare breasts. “I don’t plan on waiting till you say I do to be naked with you again.”

“Thank God.” He dropped to his knees and took a breast into his mouth.

Chloe gasped at the sensation, holding his head steady as he pleasured her. His tongue lapped at the nipple, and then he nibbled at it. She groaned as her pussy started pulsing with each swipe and nip. He knew exactly what she liked.

He scooped her into his arms and laid her on the bed more gently than she thought possible. “You are so beautiful it makes my heart pound to look at you.”

Chloe felt beautiful. In his eyes, she saw herself as someone who was loved and cherished.

“Come here, then, and show me.”

He shucked the rest of his clothes and climbed into bed, covering her with his warmth, his hardness. She spread her legs, and he slid into her welcoming core, wet with need for him. They had been together numerous times, but this was different. Every bit of her body rose to meet his. Each thrust was like the note of a song, and she was the instrument he played. They spoke to each other with their bodies, pledging themselves, declaring their love without saying a word.

This was a gentle lovemaking, one she rejoiced in as the new person she had become. Chloe’s mouth found his as they both reached their peak. Pleasure washed through her, stealing her breath, stopping her heart. Gideon had breathed life back into her heart and soul.

He tucked her under his arm and pulled a quilt up over them. As Chloe drifted off, safe in the arms of the man she loved, she knew she had found where she belonged. In the arms of a Devil named Gideon.

Sometimes the universe has to turn your life sideways so love can find its way in.

Devils on Horseback: Generations
, Book 1

As the oldest of five, Adam Sheridan’s life is full of obligations. He longs to do something,
anything
, besides working his family’s flour mill in Tanger, Texas. His mama always says the universe moves in its own sweet time.

Apparently the universe was waiting for his wagon load of flour to overturn so he could meet the woman he was destined to love.

Eve Tate is a woman from nowhere with a shady past and an uncertain future. When she is left behind in Adam’s care, she reinvents herself again to be his perfect mate. Little does she know who she was will haunt who she tries to be.

And, just like the couples of old, Adam and Eve must find a way to live together—or lose everything they have.

Warning: Contains a redheaded man with a Texas-wide stubborn streak, and a chameleon-like woman with a heart that needs attention and a soul that needs redeeming. Foolishness, canoodling and deep abiding love result.

Rereleased December 2015

A cool man, a fiery woman, a love destined to ignite.

Devils on Horseback
, Book 3

Intense, reserved and known for his strategic thinking, Zeke Blackwood has struggled to find his place in the post-war world. After the violent death of the first woman to capture his heart, Zeke retreats into a whisky bottle—until he’s handed the position of town sheriff.

Zeke sobers up and tries his damnedest to be the best lawman he can be. He hadn’t counted on the tempting new saloon girl to jeopardize his cold, unhappy existence.

Naomi Tucker is a survivor, a woman who made it through the war on her own wit and strength. She hoped moving to Tanger, Texas would bring her the peace and stability she yearns to find. Instead she runs head-on into a cool-eyed sheriff who welcomes her to his bed, only to push her away.

The wildness of the West is far from tamed. It threatens the town’s efforts to rebuild, Zeke’s bond with the Devils—and his fragile relationship with Naomi. As Zeke’s hold on sobriety slips, he and Naomi must choose between settling for half a life apart, or embracing all they could be. Together.

This title has been revised for rerelease.

Warning: Take one hard-ass lawman with inner demons and a down-on-her-luck waitress. Mix well and add in bullets, danger and life-threatening bad guys. Wait for the fireworks.
