About this ebook
This is a BBW Western Romance
When Emma Banks meets ex-rodeo star Cade Winters, she finds him a little too cocky for his own good! Although he’s attractive, he's also infuriating.
When he trains one of the horses she cares for, she runs out of excuses to avoid him. Thrown together almost daily, she sees a different side to him and realizes she’s fallen in love with him.
But what does Cade feel about her? Can he truly love her - and her curves?
EXCERPT:
“Anything else I can do?”
Emma looked around the barn. To her regret, she couldn’t think of a single thing. Except, kiss me. She slowly shook her head. “No.”
“Well, I guess I’ll be going.”
His tone sounded reluctant. It must have been her imagination.
She raised her eyes, his emerald gaze ensnaring her. He suddenly seemed to be standing much closer to her.
“You’ve got a smudge.” His thumb caressed her cheek.
She couldn’t help the husky tone in her voice. “Is…is it gone?”
“Let me see.” His eyes gleamed with desire as he bent his head toward hers. “All gone,“ he murmured. “Except for here.”
His lips brushed hers. Excitement rippled through her as he deepened the kiss, claiming her mouth. His strong, capable arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her even closer. She surrendered to the kiss, her hands clasping his shoulders as he explored the secrets of her mouth. Her legs wobbled, making her grateful he held her so securely…

Curves and the Rodeo Star (BBW Western Romance – Coldwater Springs 4)
G ood job, boy,
Emma murmured as she left the dusty ring, the faint fragrance of dirt and horses teasing her senses. The chestnut quarter horse whickered softly as she led him to the trailer, the June sun beating down on them. She thought she’d had a good chance of winning the barrel racing at the Coldwater Springs rodeo, but her timing had been slightly off. It wasn’t Pirate’s fault.
Hey, Emma!
She turned around to see Sarah McCord, a curvy brunette, waving at her.
Hi, Sarah.
She smiled in response and walked over to Sarah and her cousin Libby, a voluptuous blonde.
Hello, handsome,
Libby crooned, holding her hand out for Pirate to sniff. He really does look like a pirate with that white patch over his eye.
Congratulations on coming second.
Sarah joined Libby in making a fuss of Pirate. You looked good out there.
Emma smiled wryly. Thanks. I know it’s not the National Finals, but I still wanted to win.
Sarah told me you’ve won practically every year since she was in high school.
Emma’s cheeks warmed and she patted Pirate’s neck. We both like winning.
Libby waggled her left hand in front of Emma. Ahem.
Sarah chuckled. She’s been doing that with everyone she hasn’t seen in a while.
Emma gazed at the sparkling cushion cut diamond ring on Libby’s finger, then smiled at the blonde. Are you engaged, Libby?
Libby grinned. The wedding is set for September.
She stared at her ring. I’ve been engaged for four months and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it.
You’ll have to stop admiring it next week, so you can concentrate on sending out the invitations,
Sarah reminded her.
You’re right.
Libby patted Pirate, then grinned. You’re invited, Emma.
Thanks.
Emma smiled in pleasure. Are Cassie and Luke back from their honeymoon yet?
Sarah shook her head. They’re coming back next week.
Aruba.
Libby sighed dreamily. I hope Jake is taking me somewhere like that.
Oh?
Emma raised her eyebrows.
He wants to surprise me.
Libby giggled. He knows I love surprises.
Hey, Emma!
A burly man approached the trio. A guy’s been looking for you. He was over by the holding area.
Thanks, Fred.
The man nodded and continued on his way.
Emma shrugged. I have no idea who could be looking for me. I guess I better take Pirate back to the trailer.
Bye, Pirate.
Libby patted the horse one last time.
Emma led her horse back to the area that housed the competitors’ trailers. Once she rubbed down Pirate, she’d check out the holding area and see who was looking for her. Maybe someone was interested in agisting their horse.
I’ll be back soon, boy.
Emma put away her grooming kit and took a long swallow of water. Checking that Pirate was secure in the trailer, she turned in the direction of the holding area.
Emma Banks?
She blinked. Six feet of pure male blocked her way, dwarfing her height of five foot six. His dark russet brown hair brushed his denim shirt collar, while his emerald green eyes looked at her assessingly. A hint of five o’clock shadow graced his ruggedly handsome face, and his broad shoulders filled out his denim shirt nicely. Appearing to be in his early thirties, his faded
