“Howdy, ma'am. You always talk to yourself?” Velia glanced up into bright eyes, as blue as the flame on a cigarette lighter, belonging to a man standing in front of her desk wearing a cowboy hat tipped back on his head.” CowboyWestern RomanceSports RomanceBull Rider SeriesHowdy Ma Am Bk 1Romance Women S Fiction Book:Howdy, Ma'am Source: Howdy, Ma'am
“I'm sorry, Caulder, but I'm not ready for another relationship. I don't know if I ever will be ready.” Saying this to him now hurt as much as a slug to her abdomen. But it had to be said. “Then we don't have one. We're business partners first, and I'll respect your wishes. I won't stand in your way, and I won't pursue you. I'll pretend I don't want to kiss your lips.” His eyes lingered on the aforementioned. “You being in the stands photographing or videotaping my every move will mean nothing to me.” He laughed. “Dammit, I don’t believe that myself. It is what it is, Velia.” Mary J Mccoy DresselBull Rider SeriesMa AmHowdy Book:Howdy, Ma'am Source: Howdy, Ma'am

“At the curb, Velia turned, remembering the first day she stood here debating with herself about turning back, running home. But, her inner victim convinced her, this was the right thing to do.

She smiled when she turned back to her car, loaded it, and left to be with the man she loved.” SeriesContemporary Western RomanceMary J Mccoy DresselBull Rider Series Book:Hey, Cowboy Source: Hey, Cowboy
“Come on, Caulder, come on, baby!" By now she jumped up and down like the kids in the stands. Five, four, three... She grabbed her other camera. The buzzer rang and Caulder's body lingered against the side of the bull. He was hung up and he tried to get his hand free. The bull still bucked and twisted, jumped and dropped. Velia grabbed her video camera. If she missed a shot like this, she'd probably be fired by the man himself.” Bull Rider SeriesHowdy Ma Am Book:Howdy, Ma'am Source: Howdy, Ma'am
“She washed her hands three times. Velia gripped the sink, dropping her head and watching the tinged water drain. Trying to get a grip, she held back tears and vomit, and would have been fine if not for seeing more blood splatters on her sleeves. She held on to her last bit of strength, still refusing to cry.
