“A
classic in the making!”~Under the Covers Book reviews
A sizzling new series packed with heart from Amazon
bestselling author, Amanda McIntyre.
RUGGED HEARTS—Book I, The Kinnison Legacy! Meet Wyatt,
Dalton and Rein, the formidable men of the Kinnison Legacy and the women who
will tame them!
Blurb:
Rugged,
quiet, hardworking, Wyatt takes his position as head of the Kinnison family
seriously. But the scars of betrayal by the women to whom he once trusted his
heart now prompt his stark, simple game plan, and no one in hell is going to
convince him any differently. What matters most, besides the welfare of his
brothers, is to manage the ranch left to him and never risk his heart again to
something as foolish as love—but after meeting Aimee, Wyatt begins to realize
that a man should never say never to a determined second grade teacher.
When
vivacious, resilient Aimee Worth loses her twin sister in a tragic accident,
she makes the choice to live out her sister’s dream of teaching in the small
mountain community called End of the Line, Montana, never suspecting she’d meet
her Mr. Right in the middle of nowhere—he just doesn’t know it yet. Used to
challenges, her spirit shatters the perceptions that have kept him isolated
from living life beyond the ranch, proving to him that when it comes to love,
the greatest risk is not taking one.
Excerpt
set-up; stranded a few days before Christmas with students from her class who’d
been on a field trip, Aimee and Wyatt battle an attraction started from the
first night they met…
She was warm, sweet, and
responsive to him in a way Wyatt hadn’t expected. His fingers found the sash of
the robe and gently pulled it free. He cupped her face and kissed her like he’d
thought of doing a million times since the day in the parking lot. He pulled
her close, lifted her into his arms, and set her on the countertop. She held
his face, her kisses soft yet demanding more, driving his hunger. His fingers
fumbled with unfastening the buttons of the flannel shirt she wore. She braced
herself on her hands and allowed him to peel away the fabric.
“You’re beautiful,” he
whispered, drawing his hand over her silky flesh. He cupped her soft breast,
and she fit his palm with sweet perfection. After another fiery kiss, he
trailed his lips over her skin, taking in her musky scent. Encouraged by her
hand holding his head in place, he helped himself, closing his mouth over her
rigid tip, teasing until she forced his head up to look at her.
“Wyatt.” She breathed
his name.
He wanted nothing more
than to scoop her up and carry her to bed, but he knew that was impossible
under the circumstances. Instead, he relished her passionate kisses and slipped
his hands between her thighs. He pressed his fingers to her warm, wet flesh.
She squirmed at his touch. Her mouth dropped open with a soft sigh.
He swallowed hard and
reminded himself that the kitchen counter, surrounded by a houseful of kids,
was not how he wanted their first time to be.
“Oh God,” she whispered.
“No, no…I can’t. Not here.”
She grabbed his hand and
pulled him to her in an explosive kiss that nearly burst Wyatt from the
confines of his jeans. He cupped her face and was angling to deepen the next
kiss when she pulled away.
“I have an idea.” She
straightened and held her hands against his chest. He heard her heavy
breathing.
“Yeah, I’ve got a couple
of my own.” He reached for her again.
She leaned over and
turned on the light, temporarily blinding him.
“I can see we are not on
the same page.” He sighed deeply and licked his lips. Her taste lingered on his
mouth. She pulled her clothes together, hastily refastening the buttons he’d
worked so hard to undo, and tugged the robe up around her shoulders. Only then
did she look at him.
Wyatt rested his hands
on either side of her, debating whether to stay or go jump in a snowdrift. He
glanced up, eyeing her.
“I was just thinking.”
“Me, too.”
“About Christmas
morning.”
“Hmm, that’s not what I
was thinking about.” She put another knot in her robe tie and looked down at
him as if to say playtime was over. Snowdrift, it is. “What were you thinking?”
“I have some candy canes
in my book bag. I was going to give them out as treats at school. What would
you think about using their shoes like stockings? I think they still fill shoes
in Europe—Norway or someplace.”
He winced. “Maybe I can
find some clean socks, instead.” His mind was stuck on his libido, and he
marveled how she could switch gears so effortlessly. Given the circumstances,
it was probably better he redirect his brain anyway. But as far as he was
concerned, what they’d started tonight wasn’t over by a long shot. He had
tasted bliss and he thirsted for more. Once those kids were out of his house
and safely back in theirs, he intended to show her how good they could be. He
lifted her from the counter, careful not to keep his hands on her too long.
