Title: Tempered Hearts (book 1 in Tempered series)
Blurb: Rancher Craig Harris and
veterinarian Tamera Collins clash from the moment they meet. Innocence is pitted against arrogance as
tempers rise and passions ignite to form a love as pure as the finest gold,
fresh from the crucible and as strong as steel.
Thrown together amid tragedy and unsated passion, Tamera and Craig share
a strong attraction that neither accepts as the first stages of love. Torn between desire and dislike, they must
make peace with their pasts and God in order to open up to the love blossoming
between them. It is a love that nothing
can destroy when they come to understand that only when hearts are tempered,
minds are opened and wills are softened can man discern the will of God for his
life.
Excerpt: Tamera awoke in a mild state of panic and
confusion. Glancing around, she realized where she was and who was beside her.
A blush warmed her cheeks as she struggled to sit up. She released the filly
and fumbled with the front of her gown.
“I couldn’t sleep.” she explained, glancing into the steel
gray eyes. His gaze, soft and warm like liquid metal, made her blush harder as
he brushed strands of hay out of her hair with a gentleness that seemed out of
character.
Craig knew he was treading on dangerous ground, that people
were expecting them, but couldn’t seem to get past the moment at hand. “I guess
a kiss is out of the question,” he queried, his voice tender, gaze unwavering.
Emotions, raw and unfamiliar, shivered through her. Tamera
attempted to scoot away from him, emitted a shaky little laugh and tried to
quench the feelings escalating to frightening proportions. “A kiss? Why would
you want a kiss? I didn’t think you even liked me.”
Craig wound his hand in her thick hair, stopping her
movements. “Like has nothing to do with desire,” he moaned and crushed her to
him as his mouth covered hers in a thorough kiss. “Absolutely nothing,” he
assured as she clung to his shirt and trembled in his arms.
