Bullwhipped (A Cowboy Romance) - Paperback

Barrel racer Olivia Hayes knows better than to mess around with bull riders. As the bad boys of the rodeo circuit, they're know to leave a trail of broken-hearted women everywhere they ride. But when handsome cowboy Cale Warren crosses her path one night, his charm and hot body are impossible to resist. Ignoring the warnings of her brother, she races into a relationship with Cale. With his smoldering good looks, Cale loves women and loves variety, so he's baffled when he can't get Olivia Hayes out of his mind - or his fantasies. Could it be that the gorgeous cowgirl fills his blood with lust and touches his heart with the one thing that has been in short supply his whole life? Kindness. A harsh childhood and a tough sport left his mark on him, and he'd rather face an angry bull than confront those demons. Locking his feelings away in a heart as hard as a bull's horn, he lives his life in the moment. Olivia, always the good girl, is ashamed of her initial behavior with Cale, and swears off a relationship that can only end badly for her. Cale can't understand the cold shoulder treatment, but remembering her fiery lovemaking, and craving her gentle touch, pursues her with a passion she can't deny. Could he finally be ready to open the gate and let his love out of the chute? And will she be there ready to catch him when he falls?
