Texas Outlaws: Jesse

Texas Outlaws: Jesse
Kimberly Raye

Texas Outlaws: Jesse Rodeo cowboy Jesse James Chisholm, bad boy of Lost Gun, Texas is haunted by his father’s history and the only girl who could match his wildness with her own… Except when Jesse returns home his “bad girl” has turned conservative! But this sexy cowboy isn’t giving up. He’ll bring out Gracie Jones’s wild side just one more time…

“It’s obvious there’s something between us …”

Having sex with Jesse Chisholm would be the worst idea ever.

They were polar opposites. He was wild and exciting and Gracie wasn’t. At least, she was doing her damndest to prove that she wasn’t.

And that was the problem in a nutshell. Jesse called to the bad girl inside of her.

Not happening. She had an image to uphold. A reputation to protect. She was the mayor, for heaven’s sake.

Anxiety rushed through her, because as committed as she was to the path she’d chosen, she couldn’t help but feel as if she’d missed out on something.

She wanted one more night with Jesse. One more memory. Then she could stop fantasizing and go back to her nice, conservative life and step up as the town’s new mayor without any worries or regrets.

She would. But not just yet.

She slammed on the brakes, swung the car around and headed for the motel.

“Okay,” she blurted ten minutes later when Jesse opened his motel room door. “Let’s do it.”

THIS WAS TURNING into the worst ride of his life.

Jesse James Chisholm stared over the back of the meanest bull this side of the Rio Grande at the woman who parked herself just outside the railing of the Lost Gun Training Facility, located on a premium stretch of land a few miles outside the city limits.

His heart stalled and his hand slipped. The bull lurched and he nearly tumbled to the side.

No way was she here.

No frickin’ way.

The bull twisted and Pro Bull Riding’s newest champion wrenched to the right. He was seeing things. That had to be it. He’d hit the ground too many times going after that first buckle and now it was coming back to haunt him. His grip tightened and his breath caught. Just a few more seconds.

One thousand three. One thousand four.

“Jesse!” Her voice rang out, filling his ears with the undeniable truth that she was here, all right.

Shit.

The bull jerked and Jesse pitched forward. He flipped and went down. Hard.
