Deputy’s Bride (3rd book in the Naked Bluff, Texas series)

Deputy’s Bride is an erotic, historical western that is a stand-alone story with a satisfying HEA. Texas Deputy Bo Kildare is looking for a special kind of lady, one that is willing to meet his special requirements. No sweet little virgin will do, he wants a woman who knows how to please a man, perhaps two.

Recently widowed, Sarah Elizabeth Foster-LaFever has lived in the public eye for the last few years and wants out. Her reputation as Micah LaFever’s wife has left her penniless and without many viable options until Bo comes calling. Now, she believes she found the perfect man until her past rears its ugly head.

Can murder and corrupt dealings keep these two lovers from making it to the alter?

Excerpt:

The man died a little over a year ago, after he suffered a head injury when thrown by his prize stallion. His wife, Sarah Elizabeth Foster had the status of…

Bo struggled to recall what chatter, he’d heard in relation to the woman. Her name was of course associated with Micah’s, but Bo couldn’t remember reading anything in reference to her. “I’d have thought by now, one of her husband’s friends would have married her.”

“She’s hoping to escape from that group of people and live a quiet life. Sarah never particularly cared for the spotlight.” Madeline paused.

The waitress set a cup and saucer in front of each of them, and poured the steaming hot coffee.

Impatient to learn more, Bo studied Madeline’s weathered face, noted the slight sagging of her cheeks that created jowls, the intense fire of her gaze, and her thin lips. Her thick gray hair lay stacked on her head like a queen wearing a crown.

A contact of his father, he’d considered her a friend for most of his life. She ran the local general store with her husband. She had connections all over the state. They were either customers, friends, or part of her large extended family. That was the reason behind him soliciting her help. She knew people, he didn’t.

After the waitress had served him and walked away, he resumed their conversation. “How do you know her?”

“Friend of a friend. First, she wanted me to tell you that if you’re looking to have children she’s not the girl for you.”

“Can’t have any?”

“Yes. Now would you like to meet her? She’s staying over at the hotel in the…” Again, she peered at the other customers in the diner and lowered her voice. “Private cabin at the back of the property.”

He lifted an eyebrow, recognizing the fact the woman was paying through the nose for the special accommodations.

“She doesn’t want anyone to know she’s in town. She’d rather avoid having to answer any unsolicited questions from the press,” Madeline added.

“And have you told her about me?” Bo debated the likelihood of her passing his requirements for a wife.
“Yes, and she’s eager to visit your spread.”

The mention of his ranch reminded Bo of another problem. What would his brother say at the possibility of Bo bringing a woman home? Chase didn’t care for people. Women, he claimed, were nothing but trouble. Instead, horses were more his specialty, and because of him, their ranch was thriving.

Shoving aside his concerns regarding his sibling, Bo left his coffee untouched and stood. He tossed a few coins on the table. “I guess then I better head that way.”
