Accidentally...Over?(64)

Hard to believe that SWEET ON YOU is the third book in my Sweet on a  Cowboy series set in the world of professional bull riding. The first  two, The Sweet Spot and Nothing Sweeter, involved the life and loves of  stock contractors-the ranchers who supply bucking bulls to the circuit.  But I couldn't go without writing the story of a bull rider, one of the  crazy men who pit themselves against an animal many times stronger and  with a much worse attitude.

To introduce you to Katya Smith, the heroine of SWEET ON YOU, I thought I'd share with you her list of life lessons:



Remember what your Gypsy grandmother said: Gifts sometimes come in strange wrappings.

The good-looking ones aren't always assholes.

Cowboys aren't the only ones who need a massage. Sometimes bulls do, too.

Don't ever forget: You're a soldier. And no one messes with the U.S. military.

A goat rodeo has nothing to do with men riding goats.

"Courage is being scared to death-and saddling up anyway."-John Wayne

Cowgirl hats fit more than just cowgirls.

The decision of living in the present or going back to the past is easy once you decide which one you're willing to die for.



I hope you enjoy Katya and Cam's story as much as I enjoyed writing it.  And watch for the cameos by JB Denny and Bree and Max Jameson from the  first two books!

Dear Reader,

I love books about Mr. Cool, Calm, and Collected finding himself all at  sea once he falls in love. Which means I've been champing at the bit to  write Camden Rothermere's story in WHAT A DUKE DARES.

The Duke of Sedgemoor is a man who is always in control. He never lets  messy emotion get in the way of a rational decision. He's the voice of  wisdom. He's the one who sorts things out. He's the one with his finger  on the pulse.

And that's just the way he likes it.

Sadly for Cam, once his own pulse starts racing under wayward Penelope  Thorne's influence, all traces of composure and detachment evaporate  under a blast of sensual heat. Which isn't just the way he likes it!

Pen Thorne was such fun to write, too. She's loved Cam since she was a  girl, but she's smart enough to know it's hopeless. So what happens when  scandal forces them to marry? It's the classic immovable object and  irresistible force scenario. Pen is such a vibrant, passionate,  headstrong presence that Cam hasn't got a chance. Although he puts up a  pretty good fight!                       
       
           



       

Another part of WHAT A DUKE DARES that I really enjoyed writing was the  secondary romance involving Pen's rakish brother Harry and innocent  Sophie Fair-brother. There's a real touch of Romeo and Juliet about this  couple. I hadn't written two love stories in one book before and the  contrasting trajectories throw each relationship into high relief. As a  reader, I always like to get two romances for the price of one.

If you'd like to know more about WHAT A DUKE DARES and the other books  in the Sons of Sin series-Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed, Days of Rakes  and Roses, and A Rake's Midnight Kiss-please check out my website:  http://annacampbell.info/books.

Happy reading-and may all your dukes be daring!

Best wishes,
