The Lost Rider
Lost Rider
Maverick Austin Davis is forced to return home after a ten-year career as a rodeo star. After one too many head injuries, he's off the circuit and in the horse farming business, something he's never taken much of a shine to, but now that it's his late father's legacy, familial duty calls. How will Maverick find his way after the only dream he ever had for himself is over? Enter Leighton Elizabeth James, an ugly duckling turned beauty from Maverick's childhood, and someone whose heart he stomped all over when she confessed her crush to him ten years back. Now Leighton is back in Maverick's life, no longer the insecure, love-stricken teen. And Maverick can't help but take notice.

Lost Rider (teaser)
Elle a fui. Elle n’aurait pas dû revenir. Stan est sombre, dur, et n’accorde sa loyauté qu’à son club de bikers, les Hell’s Dogs. Les femmes, c’est pour le sexe, et l’amour, une perte de temps. Tout change quand Millie déboule dans sa vie comme une tornade. Fille du vice-président des Hell’s Dogs, sensuelle, déterminée et volcanique, elle est aussi le premier amour de Stan. Celle qui l’a trahi, qui a fui sans se retourner sept ans plus tôt, qui l’a brisé. Il la déteste, la désire… Est-il prêt à lui donner une seconde chance ? *** Son regard ne quitte pas le mien quand il fait un pas dans ma direction. Mon souffle est rapide, mon rythme cardiaque complètement affolé. – J’ai toujours aimé ça chez toi, dit-il d’une voix rauque. – De quoi, ma bouche ? demandé-je d’une voix tout aussi grave. – Aussi, mais surtout ce qui en sort, dit-il en souriant. – C’est vrai que je suis douée pour tout un tas de choses avec… dis-je en laissant volontairement traîner ma voix. Je sais que je joue un jeu dangereux avec un homme qui l’est tout autant. Pourtant, c’est plus fort que moi, j’ai envie de le taquiner, de le pousser à bout, de voir jusqu’où nos sentiments contraires sont capables de nous amener ce soir. Car demain, nul doute que je vais regretter mon comportement, d’autant plus s’il débouche sur bien plus que des paroles. Car Stan n’est pas un homme avec qui on s’amuse. Et quand son regard devient fiévreux, voilé de désir, je sais que mes mots ont visé juste. – Je m’en souviens parfaitement bien, dit-il d’une voix suave en caressant de son pouce ma lèvre inférieure. Ce simple geste tellement sensuel me fait complètement frissonner. Et je sens ma chaleur corporelle monter en flèche, tout comme mon rythme cardiaque. Alors que nous sommes perdus dans le regard de l’autre, Stan passe à l’attaque. La main qui effleurait ma bouche agrippe l’arrière de ma tête pour la maintenir en place quand ses lèvres percutent violemment les miennes. Notre baiser n’a rien de tendre, de timide. Il est bestial, affamé, désespéré. *** Lost Rider, de Gaëlle Sage, premiers chapitres du roman.

The Rider of Lost Creek
Lance Kilkenny's gun is believed to be the fastest in the West, but once the gunfight is over, he disappears. Most folks don't even know what he looks like. Some time back, Mort Davis saved Kilkenny's life after he was shot up. Now Davis needs Kilkenny's help. He has filed a claim on a water hole near Lost Creek in the live oak country. The district is dominated by two wealthy cattlemen, Webb Steele and Chet Lord, each one claiming for himself the water hole that Davis occupies. Beautiful Nita Riordan owns the local saloon, and between her charms and the feuding ranchers, Lance Kilkenny has his work cut out for him. If he doesn't watch his step, he'll pay the debt he owes with his own blood.
