Welcome to the world of horse racing! For the next few weeks we’ll be featuring excerpts from Detour Ahead, Book Four in our Rider’s Up Series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, and all four books are always available FREE at KU.

Danger, suspense, stunning race horses,
courageous heroines, and the
complicated men who love them!

We’re still careening down the twisty detour with Traci Steele, from Detour Ahead. 

EXCERPT

A twenty mph curve loomed in front of her. She slowed, made the turn, and sped up again. How far could civilization be?

“Good God!” She screamed, slamming both feet on the brake pedal. Her mouth fell open at the sight of the largest animal she’d ever seen up close sauntering into the left-hand lane. He was huge. And he was obviously and enormously male. The mammoth range bull was followed closely by seven of his harem.

The great beast came to a halt directly in front of her car and turned its head to stare at her.

BLURB

Hot-shot Chicago prosecuting attorney Traci Steele works tirelessly keeping rapists off the street to prevent other women from suffering the hell she’s endured, so she resists her friends’ insistence that she take a two month R&R in their California Live Oak condo—until they persuade her to help their rancher friend as a private investigator.

Though he runs the stables at Live Oak, well-muscled mustached wrangler Scott McCord much prefers working with the race horses he trains at his ranch, and he can’t believe his old friends have sent a greenhorn female to help him with horse troubles.

The improbable dance between this mismatched pair barely fits in around the escalating suspense of whoever’s after Scott’s horses. Traci is as tenacious in her sleuthing as she is terrified about her inability to ever love a man. Can Scott succeed in gentling her – like he does his horses – before she flees in panic?

    My knee jerk reaction is–don’t stare back at him. He will charge and the car isn’t much protection!
