MONTANA HEARTS: TRUE COUNTRY HERO
Montana Hearts #3
Darlene Panzera
Released May 17th, 2016
Avon Impulse
In
the third heartwarming installment of Darlene Panzera’s Montana Hearts series,
a hot-shot rodeo star tries to win the tender heart of his biggest critic
For Jace Aldridge, the chase is half
the fun. The famous rodeo rider has spent most of life chasing down steers and
championship rodeo belts, but after an accident in the arena, his career is put
on temporary hold. When he’s offered a chance to stay at Collins Country
Cabins, Jace jumps at the opportunity to spend more time with the beautiful but
wary Delaney Collins.
Between trying to make her family’s
business a success, raising her daughter single-handedly, and volunteering at
the local wildlife shelter, Delaney doesn’t have time for love. Even though
she’s determined to not let the handsome cowboy under her skin, Delaney can’t
deny how much she looks forward to every day with him. She's determined to be
friends with the handsome cowboy, nothing more, even though Delaney's heart
flutters every time he draws near.
But all is not well in Fox Creek and
when a violent poaching ring escalates out of control, Delaney must trust that
Jace is the true country hero she hopes he is.

One of our guys got himself an eight-point buck with the first draw of his bow.”“That’s impressive,” Jace said, giving the man a nod as if interested.“Let me introduce you to Alicia,” Gavin said, coming up beside them with another rider. “She’d like to be your personal trail guide.”“I sure would,” the voluptuous blond bombshell purred. “How about tomorrow, cowboy?”Delaney stiffened and glanced at Jace. Was he attracted to this blatantly seductive woman? It was clear from Gavin’s expression that he hoped so.She thought of the dresses, jewelry, makeup, and magazines Bree and Sammy Jo had brought over. They’d been right. She was going to need every advantage she could latch on to in order to keep Jace from giving his endorsement to someone else. Oh, if only she knew how to flirt!By some miracle, Jace shook his head. “Maybe some other time. I promised Jed and Luke Collins I’d go out hunting with them tomorrow.”What? She couldn’t let them, but silenced her tongue. For now, all that was important was that Jace had rejected the rival’s offer. She had several hours available to come up with a plan to stop Jace from hunting with her own family. “That’s right, Gavin,” she said, backing up Jace’s decision. “My father is a hard man to refuse.”Gavin grimaced. “But, Jace, we’re talking about big game here, with a beautiful woman by your side. What more could you want?”Jace gave the man a level look and nodded toward Delaney. “I’ve already got a beautiful woman by my side. Promise me something no one else can and maybe I’ll come along on a hunt with you.”“Playing hard to get, are you?” Gavin let out a hearty laugh. “Okay, Jace, I’ll wait to talk to you in private, when there aren’t so many others around.”The outfitter nodded in her direction, making it clear he meant when she wasn’t around. How dare that man! And what about Jace? His words inferring she was as beautiful as Gavin’s sexy blond gave her an unexpected jolt of warm pleasure, but what about what he said after that?“Promise me something no one else can”? Was Jace insinuating he might be interested in going after some illegal kills with this guy?Her stomach squeezed tight, just like it did when her friend, Carol, from the animal shelter asked her to speak at the rally. Nauseating bile rose into the back of her throat and she feared she might be sick again. She squeezed her eyes shut, took a few deep breaths, and after a moment got it under control.And to think she’d actually considered that maybe Jace wasn’t so bad. Men. She couldn’t trust any of them. She wouldn’t have anything to do with them if she could get away with it, but she remembered the promise she’d made to her family. No matter what she thought of Jace, she had to be nice to him and somehow make him believe her ranch was better than anyone else’s.Gavin signaled for his group to move on, and as he rode his horse past her, he smirked, and taunted softly so only she could hear, “You don’t have what it takes to keep him.”Alicia blew Jace a farewell kiss off her hand and with a sinking feeling Delaney feared the rival outfitter might be right.
