mouthwatering curves distracted him.
    That, and the fact she still wore that sexy white wedding lingerie beneath her sundress.
    Damn.
    She tackled him. Pinned him. Kissed him. Owned him completely. And when they were joined in body, as well as in their hearts, Jack knew this woman would give him the ride of his life.

    Rough Riders, Book 8
    Keely McKay knows Jack—and Jack Donohue is a certified pain in her Wranglers. The lone girl in the prolific McKay family, Keely needs another man giving her orders like she needs a hole in her boot.
    What she does need is a restoration specialist so she can open her physical therapy clinic—and prove she’s left her wild-child days behind. That means dealing with buttoned-down, uptight Jack.
    Jack is this close to securing a career make-or-break project, until he learns his lack of marital status puts him out of contention. When the notoriously hot-tempered and hot-bodied Keely begs him for help, he proposes a crazy idea. He’ll oversee her project—if she acts the part of his loving fiancée.
    Their sizzling lust makes it all too easy to go from butting heads to knocking boots—but outside the bedroom they’re as mismatched as ever. The McKays remind Jack of the humble upbringing he left behind, and cowgirl Keely feels she doesn’t measure up to Jack’s big-city lifestyle.
    When the dust settles, Jack and Keely must face the fact they’re not fooling anyone but themselves—
    or they’ll risk losing the real deal.

    Enjoy the following excerpt for All Jacked Up: Keely considered changing her work clothes, but Jack would think she’d gussied herself up for him, so no dice. In Dewey’s, she spotted him in the far corner booth. He stood, waiting to reseat himself until after she’d sat. Okay. That gentlemanly courtesy was impressive. And sweet. And unexpected.
    Nervous, because this felt like an actual date, she flipped through the menu even when she’d memorized it ages ago. “What are you having?”
    “Chicken fried steak.”
    “Sounds good. Been a while since I’ve had it.”
    “Careful, we’re actually agreeing on something.”
    “Maybe it’s a full moon.”
    His answering bad boy grin had her heart doing the two-step.
    After the waitress took their order, Jack stared at her with unabashed interest. “What?” she said testily.
    “I don’t even know when your birthday is.”
    “It’s not like you’ll be around to shower me with expensive presents.”
    “We need to know some of that stuff about each other before the engagement party.”

    True. Especially in light of suspicions all wasn’t right with said engagement. “May twenty-third. I’m twenty-seven. You?”
    “April fourth. I’m thirty-four.”
    “You’re an old timer, eh?”
    A slight scowl. “I’d say experienced.”
    “So, Mr. Experienced, what other secrets do we need to share?”
    “Start with the basic first date stuff. What’s your favorite food?”
    “Steak. Followed closely by bacon. Followed closely by chocolate.” She picked up a straw and rolled it between her fingers. “I’ll bet
