In A Cowboy's Embrace

In A Cowboy's Embrace
Charlotte Maclay

Who's been sleeping in my bed?A simple question, yet Cliff Swain knew his reaction to the slumbering beauty couldn't be easily explained. After all, he hadn't looked, let alone thought twice about a woman in years. And here, temptation lay in his bed, her tousled hair spread across his pillow…Tasha Reynolds had come to Montana to repair a broken heart and to cook and clean for Cliff. The deputy dad had an opening, allowing Tasha and her daughter to make a temporary home on the Double S ranch. Only, Tasha hadn't dreamed what she would find in this cowboy's embrace…and couldn't conceive leaving behind…

Instinctively Tasha snuggled into the warmth of the man beside her

She relished the steady beat of his heart and the warm feel of his skin beneath her palm. She felt secure. Cherished. Infinitely at ease, as though she’d been lost for a long time and had finally come home.

She squeezed her eyelids closed against the press of sunlight. Morning, she realized. Time to get up, and she wasn’t anywhere near ready to give up the snug place she’d discovered.

Slightly shifting, she wished—

Everything about her stopped, even her breathing.

There was a man in her bed. A big man with a broad chest and muscular arms. A familiar man who smelled faintly of spicy aftershave mixed with the scent of sagebrush.

Her eyes flew open. “Cliff!” she whispered sharply. Mortified, she tried to shake him awake. “Cliff, wake up! You’re in the wrong bed!”
