Falling for the Cowboy by Sophia Sasson

Excerpt
from Falling for a Cowboy
He’d grabbed a cowboy hat off a rack, placed it on his head, and gave her a broad smile, looking a lot like the star of a country western film.
“Dylan?” He didn’t have a twin
brother. Not that she knew of. Maybe aliens had abducted him, and sent him back
as a long lost character from the Wild West.
He grinned. “You like the old
me?”
“The old you?”
“Yeah, this is me, you know,
when I’m not a lawyer.”
“So what are you when you’re not
a cowboy?”
He laughed and stepped closer,
wrapping his arms around her. She molded against him and he dropped his head,
touching his forehead to hers. She savored the warmth of his breath and drew
strength from it. She placed her hand on his chest and felt the strong thump of
his heart beneath his shirt, the beat that matched her own. She could get through anything with him by
her side.
“When I’m not a cowboy, I’m your
dutiful slave.”
She lifted her head and he
dropped a light kiss on her mouth. It was the briefest touch, but it sent a
delicious tingle down to her toes. Two years of being with this man, and he
could still make her feel like it was the first time they’d kissed. “I’m so
glad you’re here, sweetheart,” he murmured. “I know Momma will love you.”
That was the plan.
"I don't think she will." Her stomach churned. His mother hated her, she could tell. She had a lifetime of experience with people who instantly disliked he. They didn't usually get over it.
Sophia puts her childhood habit of daydreaming to good use by writing stories she hopes will give you hope, make you laugh, cry, and possibly snort tea from your nose. She was born in Bombay, India, has lived in the Canary Islands, Spain, Toronto, Canada, and currently resides in Washington DC. She loves to read, travel, bake, scuba dive, watch foreign movies, and hear from readers. Contact her at http://SophiaSasson.com or Sophia@SophiaSasson.com.

Adult Contemporary Romance
February 1st 2016 by Harlequin Heartwarming
But she's already found Mr. Right…
She would rather call her impending nuptials planned than arranged, but she's certain her fiancé is her perfect match. Still, Dr. Meera Malhotra jumps at the opportunity to spend the month before her wedding doing a medical rotation in small-town USA. Getting a taste of independence and improving public health are both part of her plan. Falling for a cowboy? Not so much. Jake Taylor is totally wrong for her, anyway: he raises cattle; she's a vegetarian. He's content with life on the ranch; she's from bustling London and wants to travel. She couldn't possibly throw away everything she's built over something as illogical as love.
