Onto the hook! No details behind this one…it would give things away 😉 :
Why did this have to happen again? Damn him. “Damn you, Cole Mitchell. You made me lie to you. I never lied to you until that moment. How could you do that to me? How could you? I wouldn’t have made you—”

Oh goody, a blog hop just for the cowboys. ~sigh~
I could wax poetic for hours about what I love about a cowboy.
Because there’s plenty.
But I’m short on time this weekend, as I’m working on a series with the cowboy’s “opposite” in culture…Indians. 😉
So I’m going to make this real easy on you folks.
My Dominion Falls series has a bad-boy that can handle horses (Cole) – he’s the go-to horse trainer in town, even over Archie, who owns the livery.
It also has a good boy cowboy-turned miner (David). He’s so good he’ll make your teeth hurt with his sweetness.
In order to win an ebook copy of both books (so far) in my Dominion Falls series* you just need to answer a simple question…
Which side of the coin do you prefer? The good ol’ boy, David – or the bad-boy Cole?
It’s that easy!
(Giveaway ends Sunday night, the 14th @11:30PM EST Winner will be emailed and have 48 hours to respond or I’ll pick another winner)
For more giveaways on the hop, head on over to the Secret Cravings Publishing blog to find them! (or just click on that picture up there, it’ll take you to SCP too)

*Disclaimer: Winner will receive one ebook copy of Changing Tracks and Derailed. If winner has one or both books, we can discuss alternate options from gift cards to advance copy of book 3, Dark Territory or a copy of Masked Hearts.

Another Hump Day Hook!
Tricksy, though I would reveal my cover this early? Not a chance. It will come soon, though. I’m in the midst of revisions of Dark Territory and Derailed doesn’t come out until next week…so you get a little bit of 3. Just a little bit.
Cole is missing Jane a lot (can’t tell you why, or I’ll ruin books 2 & 3 lol):
Being apart from Jane got worse each minute.
Not just because he ached for her.
Not just because every thought was of her.
No.
Because she was a part of him. Deep inside to his very soul. He was consumed by her, he always had been. In a way no other woman had managed to consume him before.
If he still believed in it himself he’d call it love.

Another Hump Day Hook!
The past couple of weeks poor Cole has been suffering the wrath of you readers because of the hooks I’ve been choosing to show. Cole is so good when he’s bad…but there are times when he is just good…and so I thought I’d let you see his softer side…This looks a little longer, but it’s dialogue w/ some short lines so I took a teeny bit of liberty.
I can’t go into details on this scene without giving away a lot…I’ll just let Cole shine for what it is:
This time she didn’t move, and he pressed his forehead to hers. “I ain’t gonna run. I’m right here. Can’t promise to be perfect.”
“Gee. What a surprise.”
“We’re gonna fight.”
“We do it so well.” She laughed weakly. Her hands clamped down on his neck. “I’ve needed you. I still need yo.u I need to know you’ll be there when I need you.”
“You got me.”
“All in?”
“All in.”

Now, onto the reveal, blurb, and hook!! (I beg lenience this week as a special week, I’m going a small bit over my usual limit of 7-10 lines).
In book 1 we met Mike, Clara Young’s brother, who quickly became a part of Jane’s life as she still felt an attachment to the brother she couldn’t remember.
In Derailed, an, um, issue arises and he decides to deal with Cole:
A splinter of wood drove into his arm, but he ignored it in favor of delivering a solid kick to Cole’s kidneys. His arms were grabbed, and he was dragged back, but he wasn’t finished. Pure venom shot out of his throat. “You aren’t a man. You never were.”
Cole was held back by Graham and a soldier, fighting against their grip with a deep growl. “She never had any complaints. Kept comin’ back for more.”
“Stay the hell away from her.”
“Mike.” David’s voice strained as he fought to keep a hold of him.
“She’ll be back. She won’t be able to help herself.” Cole fought an arm free only to have it grabbed again. “Just tell her to stay away, see how she takes it.”
With renewed fury, Mike fought against David and Archie, trying to get free. “Bastard. You don’t deserve her. You didn’t deserve—”
“Michael.” Daisy’s shriek stilled both men for the briefest moment.

BLURB:
The sins of a past she can’t remember could destroy a present she’ll never forget.
The crimes of her forgotten past threaten the very life Jane Doe has learned to cherish.
Jane is out of time. With a warrant on her head, a maniac out for her blood, and a secret baby on the way, something has to give.
Without Cole Mitchell’s help to find the answers, there may be no hope left.
Cole has nowhere left to hide. He unwittingly let Jane into his heart, and is ready to share the secret of his dark past.
Fate has a way of playing its hand, and tragedy strikes. With the world crumbling around them, it’s easy to lose faith. If they can’t forgive past sins, they have no hope for the future.
Because the noose waits for no man or woman.
