Tate called the previous afternoon and said he knew someone experienced willing to work for what she could pay. Unable to believe her good fortune, she expected a grizzled old ranch hand in his retirement years, not a good-looking giant of a man in his prime.
Tall and brawny, Cort McGraw happened to be one of the most handsome men she’d ever seen. From his silvery-gray eyes rimmed with black eyelashes to the dimple in his all-too-attractive chin, she wished Kenzie had given her some warning. If she’d known what he looked like, that he was so young, rugged, and hunky, she would have told Tate not to bother sending Cort to her place.
Mercy, he smelled good, too. Even now, his manly, musky fragrance filled her senses. Annoyed with herself for savoring his heady scent, she brushed at her nose, hoping to chase away the lingering aroma of his aftershave.
Reluctantly, she admitted he seemed good with children. When he hunkered down on her son’s level to speak with the boy, that simple act showed her more about his character than even he might be willing to reveal.
She hadn’t given any man the time of day since Dean died, but she found herself inexplicably drawn to Tate’s friend. Bothered by the folly of her thoughts, she quickly dismissed them. She had no business, none at all, getting involved with another man, especially not one who looked and smelled as fine as Cort McGraw.

Shanna creates character-driven romances with realistic heroes and heroines. Her historical westerns have been described as “reminiscent of the era captured by Bonanza and The Virginian” while her contemporary works have been called “laugh-out-loud funny, and a little heart-pumping sexy without being explicit in any way.”
