Arizona Caress
by Bobbi Smith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Western Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A
dashing man from back east meets an unconventional Native American woman and
they join hearts against all odds in this spellbinding tale of passion and
western adventure from New York Times bestselling author Bobbi Smith.
Chance
Broderick has plenty of charm and more than enough wealth, and his life among
the Boston Brahmins offers plenty of tempting distractions. But when he
receives word that his brother is in grave danger in the Arizona Territory,
Chance dutifully travels west to help. There he finds wild, vast lawless lands
full of surprises. But his greatest shock on the frontier is when he discovers
that the tracker he’s hired is not the brash young boy he assumed, but a
beautiful young Native American woman, Rori.
Raised
by her Native American grandfather after the death of her white father and her
Pima mother, Rori is an expert tracker who knows how to fend for herself.
Chance is fascinated but she takes an instant dislike to him and nothing will
satisfy her more than showing the arrogant man from back east a thing or two
about how things are done on the frontier out west. Nothing could satisfy her
more, that is, except the pleasure of his searing touch, his soft kisses. For
Rori can’t help craving Chance as fiercely as he desires her and as they
overcome the worlds of indifference and hostility which threaten to separate
them, they find true love is their one destiny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Chance
didn’t know what had awakened him. He glanced around and noticed nothing out of
order. It seemed Burr and Rori were both still asleep across the campsite.
Relaxing his guard, he closed his eyes again, and it was then he heard
something in the direction of the creek.
Chance
knew he hadn’t imagined it. He slid his gun out of his holster and got up to
make his way down to the water’s edge. He moved quietly, staying hidden in the
brush. He could hear a slight splashing in the water. He wasn’t sure what he’d
been expecting, but the sight of Rori taking a bath was the last thing he would
have imagined. The whole situation would have been funny, if it didn’t make him
feel like such a fool. He’d been ready to shoot whatever intruder he found
there, and the intruder turned out to be the obstinate boy!
Chance
wanted to throttle him. What the hell was he doing taking a bath?! The
temptation to embarrass him was too great to pass up. The scrawny kid was
standing totally naked with his back to him in waist-deep water. Chance knew if
he moved quickly, he could take him by surprise and give him the scrubbing he
well deserved.
Without
another thought, he laid his gun aside and charged into the water, grabbing the
boy by his shoulders. It occurred to him that the boy felt awfully soft and
fragile, but he didn’t stop to think about it. He just picked him up and dunked
him good.
Rori
gave a small shriek of outrage as someone grabbed her from behind and pushed
her underwater. For a moment she actually feared for her life, but the powerful
hands that held her quickly released her and she surfaced sputtering mad.
“What
the—?” she spat out in furious indignation as she came up and faced her
attacker. She forgot she was naked. “YOU!”
“You’re
lucky I didn’t shoot you!” Chase began laughing, but his laughter stopped
abruptly as his gaze dropped from Rori’s outraged expression to the perfection
of her breasts, bared now to his gaze in all their feminine glory. He froze.

Bobbi ~ Good morning! Welcome back! It is so great to have you here again! Congrats on your new book and good luck on the book tour! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ally! It's great to be back! Thanks for hosting me!
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteAre any of the characters based on real people that you know?
ReplyDeleteHi Bernie, I have occasionally auctioned off 'Be A Character In A Bobbi Smith Novel' at various fundraisers for charitable groups, but not in this title.
DeleteHow do you pick your covers?
ReplyDeleteIn the early days, my publisher was in charge of the covers. They had my character descriptions and I wouldn't get to see the cover until a few months before the book came out. It was always exciting back then in the days of Fabio and the Romantic Times Convention Cover Model Contest. Now that everything has gone to ebooks, my agent designs the covers for me.
DeleteWhat a great excerpt and I would love to read your book.
