The bonfire roared, climbing all the way to the top of the woodpile, sparks flying like hundreds of fireflies dancing in the night. James saw them approaching and smiled, his eyes locking with Isabelle’s. His intense gaze launched a thousand butterflies fluttering in her stomach at once.
“Hi,” they said at once to each other, and then shared an awkward, huddled laugh.
“So, what was that about?” James asked nervously.
“We were totally talking about you. Were your ears burning?”
“As a matter of fact, they were,” he answered, rubbing an ear instinctively.
“They apologized for keeping a certain secret.” Isabelle angled an accusatory, though playful glare at him.
“As I intend to do…” James cleared his throat, gearing up for the apology.
Except a snowball hit James in the back of the head, knocking off his cowboy hat. His shocked expression, eyes goggled, mouth wide open, made Isabelle burst out laughing. As he turned around to identify the culprit, Isabelle could see Clint and Cole lobbing snowballs at everyone. Another snowball came flying toward James. He dodged it, but Isabelle was too busy laughing to notice it in time; it hit her clean in the face. Luckily, it was soft and didn’t cause any harm, but it had her spluttering in surprise.
“Ha, serves you right for laughing at me!” James shouted, balling up a snowball in his hands and threw it at her.
She ducked.
“How would you like one in the face, Mr. Fancy Pants?” Isabelle bent down and began wadding up snow.
“Fancy Pants?” James paused, hands on hips, and sniffed haughtily. “And here I thought you liked my suits, Queenie.”
“Queenie? Now, you’re just making fun of me.” Isabelle threw her snowball and it hit him square in the chest, exploding into his face.
“Oh, you’re in trouble now!” James shouted, chasing her.
Isabelle screeched and took off running. He caught her by the arm and tackled her. They fell into the snow, and James landed on top of her. Isabelle wriggled and squealed as James hovered, the two of them reeling in laughter, trying to control their jagged breaths. A broad smile teased at James’s lips.
“I guess this would be a bad time to ask you out on a date.”
“Some might consider this the perfect time.” She quirked a silly smile and winked.
His cheeks flushed a lovely shade of pink as he rolled into the snow and stood. He held his hand out to her and pulled her up. “Would you like to go on a sleigh ride with me, Isabelle?”
Isabelle hesitated. She saw the look of disappointment already filling his eyes. He’d worked hard to regain her trust and try to rebuild their friendship. He deserved a break and she wasn’t prone to hold grudges. She was in the mood for some Christmas fun, and hadn’t gone on one since she was a kid.
Besides, it’s just a sleigh ride, right?
Caught by the Cowboy
A Cowboys and Tiaras Romance Book 1
A
disillusioned rancher, a runaway rodeo queen, and two old flames who
could burn them both…
After
his father lost their ranch in a high-stakes poker game, Will Hawkins
fought for his job as general manager at the Hayfork River Ranch.
With his inheritance now in the hands of a California billionaire,
he’s determined to make sure it doesn’t get developed into luxury
ranchettes and shopping centers. And try to forget about the woman
who betrayed him and broke his heart.
Emmy Jo Jackson is
hiding from her ex-fiancé and a raging social media storm. As a
rodeo queen vying for the state title, it’s only a matter of time
before he finds her and tries to take revenge. She seeks refuge in
the Hayfork River Canyon where she hopes the beautiful vistas and
wide-open spaces will allow her a chance to steel her resolve and
train at the ranch for her upcoming pageant.
Will is
resigned to his life and bent on not getting distracted by another
pretty heartbreaker. Emmy Jo is determined not to let a grumpy cowboy
who’s easy on the eyes derail her from chasing her dream. Except
spending time together on the ranch weakens their defenses, like a
rail fence coming undone, and pretty soon they’re both questioning
their previous notions. When their pasts come-a-calling, can Emmy Jo
and Will round-up the lies and see them for what they are? Or will
the love that blossomed on the ranch be lost forever?

Praise
for Shantal Sessions--
“Caught
by the Cowboy combines the charm of a rodeo queen, Emmy Jo, with the
rugged allure of Will Hawkins, a ranch manager who should have been
the heir. Both have their guard up, but the chemistry between them is
electric as they move from antagonists to swoony kisses. The wit and
banter as Emmy Jo and Will challenge each other leads to some
hilarious outcomes.The author includes a gorgeous ranch that I’d
like to go visit, as well as authentic rodeo details. Add their
despicable exes causing more havoc, and you’ve got a book you can’t
put down. Recommended."
