Royce Weston knows firsthand women are exceptional liars, especially the one who cheated him at the poker table and then wormed her way into his family’s good graces by claiming amnesia. Since Paige didn’t heed his advice to leave town, he reasons a bit of “friendly” persuasion is needed to send her packing from Wooded Acres. But when she matches him trick for trick and has his ranch hands jumping to please her, Royce knows he’s met his match. A simpering miss she is not. Sassy and daring; if only she’d give him a reason to trust her. Paige knows Royce wants her gone, but she's convinced he knows something about her past. Until he tells her, she isn't going anywhere. Matching wits with him isn't all that hard, especially when she discovers there's more to him than bark and brawn. If she tames this rough and tough cowboy, she'll enjoy a reward better than any poker ante. And any girl will tell you, it’s not how she play the cards, it’s the Luck of the Draw that counts.

"Me?" he exaggerated, turning to face her. "You're the one..." If the sight of her bare calf had caused his pulse to pound, the sight of her now was sure to kill him. She stood across from him, knee-deep in the water with a determined smile playing on her lips to match the gleam in her eyes. Her arms were bare to the neck except for the narrow straps of her soaked chemise, which clung to her body and did little to conceal her breasts from his heated gaze. She leaned forward to play her fingers on the water, and Royce bit his tongue as he watched a droplet of water trail down her skin to the valley between her breasts. With the sun glistening off her wet skin, his body hardened, throbbed, and ached with a need even Sandra hadn't provoked in him. "Paige." Her name was a ragged moan. "Come here." "Not on your life, big guy," she teased. "You have your space and I have mine. This is the boundary." She drew an imaginary line between them with her finger. "Whoever crosses it first loses." Julie was born and raised in New York. She married her high school sweetheart and accompanied him on his twenty year career with the Air Force. Currently, she resides in Colorado where she enjoys taking care of her family and home, and exploring the Rocky Mountains. Her stories bring to life the code of ethics cowboys live by and the dangers outlaws defy living by their guns.
