Sin in a Stetson...
For most women, going to a friend’s bachelorette party in Vegas is the ultimate gals’ weekend. Jessica Gainey is not most women. She’s an introverted worrywart, and the Sunset Strip is not her idea of a good time. But it’s rodeo weekend, and the town is crawling with seriously hot cowboys...none more wickedly sexy than Aaron Weathers.
He’s Texas. She’s New York. Still, Jessica can’t stop fantasizing about that ripped cowboy bod. So for one weekend, she throws caution to the wind to be a wild and daring version of herself before returning to a life where men can’t be trusted and love is a four-letter word. Except that in Vegas, even the greatest odds can have unbelievable—and thoroughly satisfying—payouts!
Jessica kissed Aaron, deeply and hungrily.
Her skin was so sensitive that every movement caused tremors of excitement to flow through her. She could feel that his body was rock hard against her.
The elevator dinged and the doors slid open, but as she began to pull away to exit, the arm wrapped around her waist tightened and held her against him, her feet hovering above the floor, his lips still on her. He had lifted her enough so he could kiss along her jawline and her neck, and stepped off the elevator with her in his arms, making her feel as though tiny explosions were going off in her brain.
“What room?” he growled into her neck, letting loose waves of electricity in the spots warmed by his breath.
A tingle went down her spine as she heard the complete abandon in his voice.
He wasn’t in control of himself, and she had the feeling it wasn’t something that happened to him very often.
And, oh, she liked it...
This book was a work of pure enjoyment for me. I never thought I’d actually write a book, but after living in Vegas for so many years, the idea of writing about this unique city and the people who travel here became an itch I finally decided to scratch. As a local, the tourism of Las Vegas is a wonderful opportunity for people watching and story invention, and I constantly find myself wondering about the backgrounds and futures of the people who breeze in and out for a few days of fun.
Writing about the rodeo in particular seemed like the perfect topic, with the annual influx of attractive cowboys. On our nightly walks during that unique week, my husband and I found ourselves passing hundreds of cowboys, and I couldn’t help but create stories about what they would do while visiting Sin City, and who they might meet along the way. The seed of an idea was born. It was an exciting moment, the first day I sat down with my laptop and began Her Sexy Vegas Cowboy.
I hope you enjoy reading about Aaron and Jessica. I loved writing about them, and about this wonderful city that so few have the opportunity to truly explore.
Cheers,

JESSICA GAINEY LEANED against the window of the airplane, watching the ground as they slowly descended into Las Vegas. She’d been to the city before, but had never flown over it at night, when Vegas was a bright spot of lights and civilization surrounded on all sides by a sea of blackness. On every side, the desert hemmed in the oasis of streetlights and hotels.
Along the famous Strip, Las Vegas Boulevard, she recognized some of the big casinos and icons like the Stratosphere and Luxor pyramid with its bright light shooting up into space and wondered at the changes in the constantly shifting city. There was a huge Ferris wheel lit up in bright colors. Since when did Vegas have a Ferris
