Diamond in the Rough
by Lori L. Robinett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Single mom Gina Montgomery has her hands full running a business and taking care of her little boy. The last thing she needs is a man in her life, but when a tall, dark and sexy cowboy strides into her store, she’s reminded that she’s still a young woman with hopes and desires.
Just as passion ignites between Aidan and Gina, her little boy is kidnapped by rustlers. Will the two of them be able to save her little boy . . . even if that means exposing Aidan’s secret?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about an excerpt? Sure! Here you go:
Gina pressed against the Plexiglas window of the store room
again, just as the door swung towards her. The door smacked her face with a
sharp POP and she fell backwards, landing on her backside with a thump.
Light silhouetted the dark figure in the doorway, radiating
around him like a halo. He bent towards her, hand extended, and the halo turned
into a cowboy hat. Ah, there was that good looking cowboy she was just thinking
about . . .
She reached up and took his offered hand, and he pulled her
up so she stood mere inches from him. She'd been right about his height. She
looked straight ahead at his broad chest. His muscles filled out his plaid
flannel shirt. Dark hairs curled over the shirt where his top two buttons were
undone. Her eyes wandered up the curve of his neck, over the strong line of his
jaw, and settled on his lips. They were parted slightly, welcoming, inviting.
She looked at those amazing blue eyes . . . which were not focused on her eyes.
There was a sharp pop as she slapped his face.

About the Author:
Lori is the
author of four books, and serves as a mentor for aspiring writers. She is a
creative soul trapped in a paralegal’s body. Several years ago, she discovered
(and won) National Novel Writing Month and rediscovered the joy of escaping
into a world of her own creation.
She lives in
rural Missouri with her husband. One very spoiled Miniature Schnauzer and
Miniature Beagle allow Lori and her husband to live in their house, and the
outside is patrolled by BK (short for Barn Kitty) and Patches (a sweet tom cat
stray that missed his calling as a lap cat).
Her novels
cover everything from romance to thrillers, but mystery is the thread that
binds them all together. Her favorite authors are Tawna Fenske, Tierney James,
Colleen Donnelly, Allison Merritt, Lisa Medley, Lea Waite, Susan Mallery, Hugh
Howey, HP Mallory and, well, the list goes on and on.
