Just Shoot Me — Becky McGraw

Cowboys are a different breed... They work hard, play hard and love harder. It's all about the ride, until the right woman makes them fall. Tina Montgomery is searching for her Texas Tomcat, and not just any cowboy or tomcat will do. To be successful, she knows the new menswear line at Texas Tomboy needs a cowboy with some miles in the saddle, not a paper cowboy with manicured nails. Tina is running out of time to find that man, so she calls her best friend, who is not only a rancher's wife now, but a photographer with access to every sexy cowboy in Texas. Her friend invites her to the ranch to talk, and Tina finds something she never expects to see there. Her Texas Tomcat is not only the ranch manager, he is her friend's new brother-in-law. His surly attitude and rudeness will make convincing him hard, but Tina isn't above making the jaded cowboy an offer he can't refuse. Dean Dixon's cheating ex-wife showed him just how untrustworthy women were and he took that as a lifetime lesson. His son was an everyday reminder of it. When his sister-in-law's friend comes sniffing his boot heels at the ranch, distracting him from his business with her looks and offers, Dean tells her to get lost. He knows Tina Montgomery has more on her mind than him modeling jeans and he wants no part of it. He manages to hold his ground until the beautiful pest brings in the big gun--his sister-in-law who'd helped his family so much. Dean can't refuse her request, so he agrees to model for the company, but he vows photos are all Tina Montgomery will get from him. But then he finds out just how dirty Ms. Montgomery could play, and how damned good she looked when she got dirty.
