Book excerpt: "A fabulous storyteller." —Carolyn Brown, New York Times bestselling author, for Second Chance Cowboy Nothing mends the heart quite like a cowboy. Dancer Beth Spence finally gets a shot at her dream—auditioning for the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. But her audition concludes with a torn Achilles tendon and possibly the end of her dance career. When her sister, Delaney, flies her to Meadow Valley, California to recuperate, she is reluctant to go, but out of options. Beth has no idea that Delaney has set her up with a job managing widower Eli Murphy's veterinary clinic while staying in the guest house on his ranch. Beth and Eli's attraction is undeniable, but Beth has every intention of making a full recovery and heading back to New York. Eli has no intention of loving and losing again. Too bad their hearts have other plans. Praise for A.J. Pine's steamy cowboy romance: "Cross my heart, this sexy, sweet romance gives...readers a fantastic ride."—Jennifer Ryan, New York Times bestselling author, for Second Chance Cowboy "Standout supporting characters ably underpin the cleverly plotted romance." —Publishers Weekly for Holding Out for a Cowboy
