Cowboy Player

Mia Hopkins — 2016

This cowboy and cowgirl sell the steak and the sizzle.For eight years, Melody Santos played the game of love and lost-big time. Now she's back in her tiny hometown looking after her younger sister, making ends meet with an assortment of odd jobs. When her childhood best friend hires her to help him sell his family's grass-fed beef, the last thing she anticipates is falling in lust with the legendary, brown-eyed player.To put his family's cattle ranch back in the black, Clark MacKinnon has his sights set on big contracts-gourmet chefs and restaurateurs. If that means long hours traveling from farmer's market to farmer's market, Clark doesn't mind. Particularly since his new assistant is his childhood crush, all grown up and sexy as hell.One night in bed leaves them breathless and hungry for more. But when his love-'em-and-leave-'em reputation collides with her trust issues, Clark and Melody must face the truth about what they've become: not friends, not lovers, but players in a game that's impossible to win.Warning: Contains filthy banter, raunchy sex, excessive Johnny Cash references, and hundreds of pounds of raw beef.

Melody Santos has been Clark Mackinnon's friend as long as she can remember. She now works with him selling his family's beef products. They've always just been friends cos lets face it Clark is a playboy! But after a series of disastrous events they end up in bed. But will they rip up the friendship and move on or will they scurry back to the friendship zone as quick as they can?? We get a great overview of Clark and Melody's past but without getting bogged down in too much back story. But when things heat up between them you just know that although its taken them decades to get there, these two were just meant to be! Its by turns sweet, sexy and downright scorching hot. Melody is sweet without being sappy and Clark, well Clark is just hubahuba hot!!
