Second Chance Cowboy (23 page)

Chance dropped to one knee at her
feet, took her hand into his, and lightly squeezed. “I guess what’s
left is to ask you to marry me again, my sweet lovely
Carly.”

“
Yes, of
course!”

He got up and pulled her into his
arms. “Tomorrow too quick?”

She pushed out of his arms. “Hold up
there, cowboy.” She placed palms against his chest. “Second time’s
a charm. I want to lose this bed-to-wed image and take things
slower. I’m thinking wedding gown, two hundred guests, fancy tiered
cake...”

His eyes narrowed. “Are you
serious?”

“
No.” She burst into
laughter. “I want only to be married to you. Do you think Pastor
Seymour would mind being woken in the middle of the night to marry
us for a second time?”

“
I don’t think he’d
complain too much.” He kept his arms around her waist. He wasn’t
letting her go, ever again.

“
We’ll let him sleep
tonight. I have other things on my mind right now.” Her expression
became sensual.

“
Oh yeah?”

“
Since I left I couldn’t
seem to get an image out of my brain. It’s driven me nearly
insane.” She already unbuttoned his shirt and subtly slipped her
fingers in to touch his bare, heated skin.

“
I think I like where this
is headed.” He dipped his mouth to her throat. He dropped one strap
off her shoulder and the neckline of the gown exposed the tops of
her bare breasts.

“
I’m certain you will, my
love. How fast can you get naked?”

Rhonda
Lee Carver…”Writing Men Who Love to Get Their Hands
Dirty…”

Suffering from years of hopeless
romantic notions with sexy, sassy heroines and bad-ass heroes
taking residence in her mind, Rhonda decided to write, bringing the
stories alive. With baby on hip and laptop on the other, and a
couple of years later, Rhonda has published a delightful array of
books with a handful of spicy love stories waiting for the final
touches. Many of her stories begin on used napkins because when an
idea strikes, she must write it down.

When Rhonda isn’t crafting
edge-of-your-seat, sizzling novels, you will find her with her
husband and children, too many cats and dogs to name, watching a
breathtaking movie, traveling to exotic places, doing (or trying)
yoga, and finding new ways to keep her smile bright.

Rhonda thrives on making her readers
happy. She believes life can be a challenge, but reading is a place
where one goes to get away. Everyone deserves romance—one page at a
time… 

I hope you’ve enjoyed
