Perfect is good.Imperfect is even better…City-slicker lawyer Jeannette Trenton is about as welcome at the Last Chance Ranch as a rattlesnake at a square dance. She's there to atone for one major mistake. But Jeannette's pretty sure righting her big wrong does not include thinking lustful thoughts about the ranch's new cowhand….Zach Powell knows Jeannette's type–a wound-up-tight perfectionist with one eye on her email at all times. Heck, that used to be him. She needs to shake it loose, face her imperfections and allow herself to make mistakes. There's definitely no mistake about the wickedly sexy vibe between them. This gal is gonna have to "cowboy up"…or miss the ride of her life!

What could be hotter than a cowboy in June?

How about a cowboy in July, August

and under the mistletoe, too!

Harlequin Blaze lineup for 2014, and this year she’s offering her readers even more….

Sons of Chance

Chance isn’t just the last name of these rugged Wyoming cowboys—it’s their motto, too!

Dear Reader (#ulink_46f9f0cd-6510-5ec6-83a0-87b2bee596e1),

When I first set foot on the Last Chance Ranch in 2010, I had no idea that one day I’d be welcoming you to the sixteenth book in the series! I know some of you have been with me for the whole ride, and some might be joining me for the first time. Either way, I’ve worked hard to make sure that each story stands alone. Whether you’re a long-time Sons of Chance fan or just beginning to get into the series, you won’t get lost, I promise!

After all these books, Riding Home seems like an appropriate title. Each time I go back to the Last Chance Ranch, I feel as if I’m coming home. The two-story log ranch house is as familiar as my own house. The Chance family members are friends, and I’m quite attached to the horses, too!

I know from your emails and comments on Facebook that many of you feel the same way. If you read both Riding High and Riding Hard you know whose story this has to be. Regan O’Connelli and Drake Brewster have found their soul mates, and I think Jeannette Trenton, despite her issues, deserves a shot. I’ve put her in the path of Zach Powell, a recent hire at the ranch, but he has some demons of his own.

So let’s see how they handle the situation, shall we? Of course you’ll get to hang out with the rest of the gang at the ranch. Jack Chance can’t let a book go by without making his presence known, and Mary Lou always has a fresh pot of coffee available for anyone who shows up in her kitchen. Grab yourself a mug and make yourself at home!

Cozily yours,

Vicki

ABOUT THE AUTHOR (#ulink_4af09f8a-1592-5eb0-a5a1-22c4bb74f06f)

New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson’s love affair with cowboys started with the Lone Ranger, continued through Maverick and took a turn south of the border with Zorro. She views cowboys as the Western version of knights in shining armor—rugged men who value honor, honesty and hard work. Fortunately for her, she lives in the Arizona desert, where broad-shouldered, lean-hipped cowboys abound. Blessed with such an abundance of inspiration, she only hopes that she can do them justice.
