The Bachelor Trap & Custom-Built Cowboy

Description for THE BACHELOR TRAP & CUSTOM-BUILT COWBOY by Kristin Gabriel & Carrie Alexander"

THE BACHELOR TRAP by Kristin Gabriel:

Café Romeo: Whether you're looking for lattes or love, you'll find both at Café Romeo...

Food critic Nina Walker needed a bodyguard to protect her from a temperamental chef who didn't appreciate her review. Ex-boxer Jake Callahan seemed like the perfect man for the job -- and for a little romance, too!

Jake needed a good review to save his aunt's struggling coffee house, and he was willing to do almost anything to get it. Anything, that is, except fall in love....

CUSTOM-BUILT COWBOY by Carrie Alexander:

"A custom-built cowboy," marveled Grace. Could he be real? The man was magnificent -- everything a fantasy cowboy should be. Beneath the brim of a silver-gray Stetson, his eyes were a deep, piercing green, staring out at her from a sun-browned face that was as chiseled and remote as the peaks of the Rockies. Dark stubble had encroached all across the rough terrain of his jaw and the hollow beneath his jutting cheekbones, setting off a slightly crooked nose and firm mouth to road-weary, saddle-tramp perfection.

Grace stared, thunderstruck, longing for him to be real. A shocking, sensuous, deliciously deep heat had begun to flow through her like a river. The man is an impostor, she tried to tell herself, but it didn't matter. He was that good. And she was... so ready.

So very ready.
