One of my favorite heroes to read – and write – is the bad boy. Who doesn’t love an outwardly devilish character secretly carrying around a heart of gold?
That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to Cy Powell, the hero of my most recent Tule release, Texas Reckless Cowboy. A scion of one of Last Stand, Texas’s most notorious criminal families, Cy’s last name has preceded him all his life. Even now, as a successful bar owner with a rapidly expanding real estate portfolio, his fellow citizens are known to cross the street when they see him coming.
Luckily for Cy, he has a rare opportunity for damage control. Georgia Star, Last Stand’s long-serving, meticulously ethical assistant district attorney, has found her one-horse race for the top job suddenly a derby, as an outsider with long-term political ambitions slides into town to run against her. She needs the voters parked on the stools in his bar, and he needs an upstanding stand-in girlfriend to impress real estate investors.
It’s an uncomplicated quid pro quo – until it isn’t. Cy has always played close to the lines of legality Georgia has dedicated her life to enforcing, yet there’s something about this charming ne’er-do-well she finds hard to resist. Cy is counting down the days until he can leave Last Stand and his insurmountable reputation behind, but he has to admit that Georgia makes his feet feel a little heavy. With the election looming closer, the clock is ticking on their fake relationship – which is starting to feel dangerously real.
I hope readers will enjoy this fake-dating, opposites-attract romance! Texas Reckless Cowboy is the second in a four-book series, so keep your eyes peeled for the next installment!
