Colton's Cowboy Code

Colton's Cowboy Code
Melissa Cutler

Fighting For His Love… Cowboy Brett Colton has reformed his bad boy ways. So when he discovers that one passion-filled night with accountant Hannah Grayson has led to pregnancy, he does the right thing and moves beautiful Hannah and his unborn child into his ranch.It seems like the safest place for them… until an arsonist attacks Brett’s home. Soon after, Hannah is targeted – and it’s clear that the unseen assailant has revenge on his mind. And suddenly Brett knows he must confront the ghosts of his past to build a new future for his family.

“I didn’t bring you to the ranch so I could seduce you. I asked you to stay here so I could take care of you and the baby, not take advantage of you.”

“That’s a shame,” Hannah whispered.

Brett wanted her in a bad, bad way.

She sauntered toward him—a seductress intent on the object of her desire.

“Are your dangerously out-of-control hormones going to keep testing my resolve for the rest of your pregnancy?” He’d meant it as a jest, but his voice was still thick with need.

“Probably. But if you’re expecting an apology, you’re going to be disappointed.”

“Let’s get out of here.”

They strolled to the grand staircase. “How’s it going to feel like a proper date if you don’t kiss me good-night?” she asked in a quiet purr of a voice as they mounted the stairs.

Oh, man, she wasn’t making this easy on him. “Your hormones again?”

A mischievous grin graced her lips. “No. That was all me.”

“Hannah, I don’t think getting physically involved with each other is the best plan.”

“It’s not the worst plan, either.”

In Brett Colton’s ears, in his mind, the shrill keening of tornado sirens eclipsed all other sound, despite that he and Outlaw were too far into the backcountry for the sirens to be more than a figment of his imagination—his intuition warning him that this mission was a really stupid plan because there were a hundred ways to die in a storm this angry.
