Mitchell Reeves is in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, cattle are missing, his sister is testing her wings, and his quarrel with a neighboring rancher has heated to boiling. Adding a beautiful woman who claims to be from the future couldn't come at a worse time.
Computer programmer Rachel Morgan understands machines, but fails with the opposite sex. When a dog plays chicken with her car, her bad week becomes worse when she wakes to find herself in the past—in a very hunky, very delusional cowboy’s bed.
Time spent in Mitchell’s company causes an unexpected glitch in Rachel’s determination to get home. Love. Found in the most startling place and time. Could she go home, if she had the chance, without knowing his true feelings?When unwanted attention from another man turns to kidnapping, Rachel is torn between wishing she were home… and risking it all for the love of a cowboy.
Excerpt
“Becky, what’s the matter?” Rachel rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she walked into the room.
Becky burst into tears. “I don’t know what we are going to do.” She wrung her hands as the panic she was trying to control slipped. “There was blood! Blood!”
Rachel frowned as Becky paced. In a few strides, she was across the room and grasping Becky’s shoulders. “What blood? You aren’t making any sense, Becky. What are you talking about?”
Becky was sobbing uncontrollably now. Dread settled in the pit of Rachel’s stomach. She didn’t understand what Becky was ranting about, but obviously, her raving had to do with Mitchell’s horse. She took a calming breath and tried to interpret what Becky was trying to tell her. “Rebel showed up here?” Becky nodded and bit her lip to try to control her sobbing. What else had Becky said? Something about Rebel’s saddle and blood. “There was blood on the saddle?” Becky nodded again and a bout of fresh tears rushed down her face.
Her hands shook as they dropped from Becky’s shoulders. She strode to the window and pulled aside the curtain. There had to be a reasonable explanation why Rebel was here. Riderless. She wasn’t going to panic. Mitchell was fine. Damn it, he had to be fine.

Excerpt
Stopping in front of the closest stall, she smiled at Judson. “This is Skittles.” She cupped a hand to her mouth and whispered. “Don’t tell the others, but she’s my favorite.”
His gaze took in the stall and then met hers. A frown marred his brow. “It’s empty.”
Had the knock on the head impaired his vision? He must be teasing. She chuckled. “No, it’s not.”
His gaze followed her pointing finger. “Holy Hell.”
The curse made her and Skittles jump. He stumbled away from the stall. What little color he had obtained in the last twenty-four hours drained from his face.
“Judson?”
Gasping for air, he leaned on the barn wall for support. “What happened to the tiny filly?”
She frowned as she glanced from him to the horse. “I don’t understand what you are asking.”
He struggled with swallowing before he asked, “Where’s the rest of her?”
“The rest of…?” A belly laugh grew and bubbled out from her lips. “Judson, haven’t you ever seen a miniature horse before?”
He shook his head. “Are they all like this?”
She chuckled. “Like what?”
“Short. Squatty. Not all there?”
Was he serious? The laughter died an untimely death in her throat as she noticed his features. He had to be. No way could she misinterpret the panic mirrored in his eyes. Her precious babies were creeping him out.

Excerpt
Opening a drawer, she pulled out an apron. “Are you as messy as my brother-in-law?”
He chuckled and settled the apron around his neck. “Maybe. What do you think? Does it work?”
Her laughter died in her throat as she noticed the adorned wording embellished across the front. Bring the heat. Kiss the Cook.
His gaze met hers before tilting downward to study the wording. He chuckled and caught her gaze. “Jim’s?”
A nervous laugh emerged as an image of a sudden fantasy played in living color in her mind. Wouldn’t she love to bring the heat? “Maybe? But knowing Maggie, I’m not one hundred percent certain it isn’t hers.” She retrieved a mixing bowl for the pancake batter. Her mind wandered back to kissing her assistant cook. What she wouldn’t give to have that type of creative license. A wave of heat made its way into her cheeks. It’s a good thing the smoke detector couldn’t read her mind. Or it would be sounding again.

Excerpt
“Thank you, Dustin, for inviting me tonight.”
He chuckled and gave her a brief glance. “If we want to get technical, interfering Maddy asked you.”
Was he unhappy she accepted Maddy’s invite for the evening? The warm glow from the time spent with his arm around her while on the outdoor glider dimmed. Lauren tipped her chin up in defense. “You didn’t want me to come along?”
He shook his head as he trained his gaze back on the road. “That didn’t sound right.” He reached to adjust the heater in the truck. “If you haven’t noticed, I’m not good with words sometimes.”
Was that the reason he hadn’t talked much on the ride over to Maddy’s house earlier? Did he actually like her? “It’s a good thing you’re an exceptional kisser than, isn’t it?” A chuckle rumbled in her chest as she heard a choked noise emerge from his throat. Her words had accomplished the shock factor she was going for. At his continued silence, she turned her head to hide a smile. He was fun to tease.

Excerpt
The dusk had hidden his rugged good looks. He now held his cowboy hat in his hands. Without the adornment upon his head, she noticed silver streaks at his temples woven in his brown hair. His nose had a slight bump as if broken at one time, but it was his arresting dark brown eyes that captured her attention. Eyes were her weakness, especially twinkling brown ones. His gaze broke away from hers to travel south to where her hand fingered the hem of the blanket tucked neatly above her breasts. “Let me go slip into…” a nervous laugh escaped. The usual line was something more comfortable. “Well, anything.” The twinkle in his eyes deepened as his lips quirked in a crooked smile. She almost tripped as she backed from the room. “I’ll be back in a jiffy.”
