The night she’ll never forget…is a night he can’t remember
Audrey Thomas can’t forget the night of passion she shared with Lucas Slade, the man she’s loved for years. But it seems the sexy, superrich rancher has no clue who warmed his bed!
The mystery seductress at his Lake Tahoe retreat was Audrey? His best friend’s off-limits kid sister? Now she’s back at Sunset Ranch…and having his baby! Honor bound to do the right thing, Lucas never reckons she’ll say I won’t to his proposal—or that she’ll settle for nothing less than all this cowboy has to give.
Audrey took a step closer and faced him,
the lamps shining a golden, halo-like glow around her head.
She parted her sweet lips and her brown eyes darkened to a seductive shade. “You don’t want to leave.”
Slowly she reached behind and grabbed the ties of her halter top at the back of her neck. Fascinated and overwrought with desire, Luke couldn’t utter a word. He couldn’t tell her to stop. He couldn’t tell her this was crazy. She was his mystery woman, and he’d secretly hoped to have a thrilling repeat of the night they’d shared.
“I ran away from you once, Luke. That won’t happen again.”
Dear Reader,
It’s Luke Slade’s story this time in the series The Slades of Sunset Ranch, and he’s got himself in a pickle with a case of mistaken identity. Luke is a do-gooder, the man who always does the right thing, a hunky Mr. Nice Guy. (I know, I know…where can we find a guy like this in real life, right?) All his instincts tell him not to get involved with his good buddy’s little sis, and he’s pretty good at heeding his own advice.
But fate steps in and Luke now has a situation on his hands…and her name is Audrey Faith Thomas. Sexy T-shirts, sex texting (now I bet I got your attention) and budding true love all play a role in this tale that asks the question: what if the perfect guy for you, the one you give your heart, soul and body to, doesn’t know it was you under his sheets? See what happens when Luke Slade figures out Audrey’s secret in Sunset Seduction.
And while you’re reading, keep an eye on Kat Grady. She’s gonna drop a bombshell on returning military hero Justin Slade in the third book of The Slades of Sunset Ranch, coming this fall!
Happy reading!

Usually nothing much unnerved Audrey Faith Thomas, except for the time six months ago when her big brother was bucked off Old Stormy at an Amarillo rodeo and broke his back. He was tossed eight feet in the air and landed with a solid smack to the ground. Casey’s injury was severe enough to have Audrey quitting veterinary school last semester to nurse him back to health.
Audrey shuddered at the memory and thanked the Almighty that Casey was alive and well and bossy as ever. But as she sat behind the wheel of her truck driving toward her fate, the fear coursing through her veins had nothing to do with Casey’s disastrous five-second ride and resulting retirement from the rodeo. This fear was much different. It scared her silly and made her doubt herself. It made her want to turn her Chevy pickup truck around and go home to Reno and forget all about showing up at Sunset Ranch unannounced.
To face Lucas Slade.
