Here is the excerpt for Bridled Heart
A
specialized placement schedule and self-imposed vow of celibacy keeps ER nurse,
Gina Montgomery, from getting too close to anyone. Music is her only
solace and release from a past laced with abuse. But when that music
draws the attention of a handsome bareback rider, her chosen solitary life—not
to mention her vow—gets tested to the limits.
Holt
Reynolds let his younger sister down when she needed him most. With the
similarities to his sister far too evident in Gina, he can’t get the woman out
of his head, or her poignant music out of his heart. But how can he find
a way to free her bridled heart before the past resurfaces to destroy their one
chance at happiness?

She deposited her backpack on the floor at her feet. The horn
handle of a twelve inch Guatemalan blade protruded from the side pocket. Tino’s
curiosity spiked another notch.
“I have a reservation. Dr. Isabella Mumphrey.”
Tino snapped the paper down and stared even harder at the
woman. This was the frumpy, old anthropologist he was to guide? His gaze
scanned the length of her one more time while tuning in the conversation.
“Ahh, Dr. Mumphrey, Dr. Martin said you were to get the finest
room, no?” The clerk acted like a simpering fool giving the doctor her key and
expounding on all the wonders of the hotel.
“Gracias. May I borrow a paper and pencil? I need to make a
list for the taxi driver.”
The clerk handed her the items. She stepped to the side of the
counter and began writing.
Why would she make a list for a taxi driver? Curious, Tino
folded the paper and strolled to a spot beside her. So intent on her list, she
didn’t even acknowledge his presence as he leaned, reading the items. Army
knife, candle, braided fishing line, hooks, swivels, 24 gauge snare wire…
“You are planning a trip into the jungle, no?”
She started at his voice. Deep green eyes rimmed in gold
stared at him from behind wire-rimmed lenses. She blinked, focused on him, and
narrowed her eyes.
“Didn’t your mother teach you manners? You don’t look over
people’s shoulders to see what they’re doing.” She picked up her list and held
it to her damp shirt.
“Mi mamá did teach me manners, no? I am Tino Kosta, your guide
to the dig at Ch’ujuña.” He held out his hand waiting for her to shake.
Her gaze traveled from his extended hand up his arm to his
face. She squinted her eyes and glared at him.
“You’re not of Mesoamerican descent, so you can’t possibly be
my guide. Are you in cahoots with the disgusting little man who stole my
property?” She bent toward her backpack, giving him a good view down the front
of her blouse.
Si, she didn’t wear a bra. The nipples peaking through her
clingy shirt sat atop a palm-sized mound. Now, being a man who liked his hands
filled to overflowing when it came to handling a woman—
“¡Carajo!” The pointed end of the large knife that had been
tucked in the doctor’s backpack waved inches from his nose.
“What is this
about?” A woman who ran around without undergarments shouldn’t be offended by a
man viewing her body.
