      “Maura! Watch out!” Spencer shouted.

      Maura wasn’t altogether sure what happened next, but seconds later she was sprawling on her back on the dusty ground with Spencer on top of her.

      Spencer slowly eased away from her, breathing hard.

      “Are you completely and utterly mad? Red, do you know how close those hooves came to that pretty little head of yours?”

      “They weren’t that close,” she protested, refusing to acknowledge he was right. “And don’t call me Red.”

      “I’ll call you Red if I damn well feel like it.”

      Outraged, she opened her mouth to protest. But her words were forgotten when her gaze collided with his. When he slowly began to lower his mouth toward hers, her pulse went into overdrive.

      “Don’t you dare—” she began.

      “Oh, I dare,” Spencer said huskily. “You know, Red, I’ve wanted to do this from the first moment I set eyes on you.” With that, he covered her mouth with his.

      Chapter One

      Maura O’sullivan stood at the foot of the wooden stairs leading up to the veranda of the elegant two-storied ranch house.
