About the book:

Blurb:
Young, adventurous and widowed in a new land, Cassandra Courtney Brooks finds her dream of raising a superior breed of saddle horse slipping away with the death of her husband. Left with four horses, living in a tavern attic, and her scant savings depleting, she resolves to see her vision through to fruition by accepting the scandalous position of steward at Varina Farms.

Born in the image of his native ancestry, Colton Rolfe’s savage blood runs through his veins. Scorned by his father, Colt grew into a man of ill temperament whose only interest is the wild equine beasts on his plantation. His desire to breed his horses with the superior Thoroughbreds of the newly widowed Cassandra Brooks leads him to abandon societal rules. Colt’s growing resentment toward the Crown and his assistance to Sons of Liberty missions is complicated by the discovery that Cassandra’s father is a titled English nobleman.

Cassandra is soon forced to question the wisdom of her decision when she finds herself enamored with her employer. As fiery passion grows between them, Cassandra realizes her own spirit of independence, love of the land, and the savage man who is so much a part of it.

As the threat of war comes ever closer, wills are tested through gunfire, treachery, danger, and kidnapping. Does Colt dare trust Cassandra with Sons of Liberty secrets? More importantly, can he trust her with his heart? And will Colt ever trust Cassandra enough to love her as she longs to be loved?

Excerpt:

It was only when Colton Rolfe rode toward them from the back fields that she felt the nagging qualm at having come here at all. His figure appeared even more powerful when riding a large black horse. Despite the pastoral scene, he looked somewhat frightening. She pictured him leaping straight from the books she read as a young girl, a romantic heathen Indian but clad now in trousers, a shirt with a turn-over collar and waistcoat.

“Colt, I have brought a friend.” Jackson greeted him. “Cassandra was kind enough to stop by the house to thank us for helping the other evening.”

“I see.” Colton’s gaze roamed coolly over her.

She bravely met his dark stare. “It was kind of you to give up your evening meal to help. I greatly appreciate your efforts.”

“Efforts?” He smiled sardonically.

“Successful efforts,” she corrected, wishing she had the ease with him she did with other men.

“You understand you could have lost them both due to negligence?”

“Colt, for God’s sake,” Jackson interrupted, glaring. “The fact is, she sought help promptly.”

Cassandra tilted her head up. “I do the best I can alone, sir. I can assure you, my animals are well cared for. In fact, better than yours, I wager!”

Jackson burst into laughter when Colton’s brow rose in doubt at her challenge. “Now there’s a bet you cannot resist, Colt, old boy.”

I’m Lynette Willows. I live in rural Alberta, Canada. My debut novel, “No Gentleman Is He”, the first in the Sons of Liberty series, is co-written along with my partner in romance, Carley Bauer.

Some have mentioned I have a very interesting past. Not only was it unusual, but some would even say reckless. I’ve lived on an Indian reserve in a teepee with my young son for three months in the winter, I’ve chased storms, and worked as a social services aide on one of the most troubled and dangerous reserves in Canada, where I met great friends as well as made a few enemies.

I enjoy camping, movies, especially historical bio dramas, strange dogs, stranger cats, exclamation points, coffee mugs with stupid sayings, friends, the crazier the better, family, as long as they are crazier than I am, and I have a huge collection of shiny, outrageous earrings. Yes, I’m a magpie. I’ll only play chess with my husband because he’ll let me win.

If you’re curious about my favorite reading material, it’s very eclectic and varied. I’m extremely picky about what I read, so check out my “to read” list on Goodreads. You can also follow me and Carley, my talented, patient, and illustrious co-author at our fan page on Facebook at “Lynette Willows & Carley Bauer”. I’m also on Twitter under @LynetteWillows, as well as Pinterest, though I’m still figuring that out. You are welcome to also visit me and chat at “Lynette Willows, Author” at http://lynettewillows.blogspot.ca/.

“I have enormous respect for the reader. They are able to take symbols from a page that an author has invented, and turn them into images in their minds that create an enduring story. If that’s not artistry, I don’t know what is.”
-Lynette Willows
