Acknowledgments
A big thank-you to June and Janet Yearwood for lending me their business expertise, and to Tom Weeks for helping me fill in the gaps in my eastern Oregon memories. I’d also like to thank my latest laptop for predictably dying in the midst of the last week before my deadline, and Visions Electronics in Lethbridge, Alberta, for saving the day. My editor, Mary Altman, deserves huge credit for bringing clarity and focus to what arrived on her desk as a meandering mess, and my agent, Holly Root, for being the voice of calm and reason when I lose all vestiges of both.
And to the Pendleton-Hermiston-Tri-Cities area of Oregon and Washington—thanks for letting us call you our home for a decade. We miss you, especially during watermelon season and when it’s twenty below and snowing sideways here in Montana.
About the Author
Kari Lynn Dell is a ranch-raised Montana cowgirl who attended her first rodeo at two weeks old and has existed in a state of horse-induced poverty ever since. After ten years in eastern Oregon, she now lives on the Blackfeet Reservation in her parents’ bunkhouse along with her husband, her son, and Max and Spike the Cowdogs. Oh yeah, and the cat. There’s a tipi on her lawn, Glacier National Park on her doorstep, and Canada within spitting distance. Visit her at karilynndell.com.
Reckless in Texas
First in a contemporary Western series featuring the exciting world of Texas rodeo from author Kari Lynn Dell
Outside the rodeo ring, Violet Jacobs is a single mom and the lone voice pushing her family’s rodeo production company into the big time. When she hires a hotshot rodeo bullfighter, she expected a ruckus—but she never expected her heart to end up on the line.
Joe Cassidy is the best bullfighter in the business. But what he finds with Violet is more than just a career opportunity; it’s a chance to create a life of his own, if he can drop his bravado-filled swagger and let her see him for the man he really is.
“Real ranchers. Real rodeo. Real romance.”
—Laura Drake, RITA award–winning author

Tangled in Texas
It took 32 seconds to end his career…but it only took 1 to change his life
One minute, Delon Sanchez was the best bronc rider in the Panhandle. The next, his knee was shattered. Now all he can do is pull together the pieces…and wonder what cruel trick of fate has thrown him into the path of his oh-so-perfect ex, Tori Patterson.
It’s just Tori’s luck that Delon limps into her physical therapy office, desperate for help. All hard-packed muscle and dark-eyed temptation, he’s always been a bad idea. And yet, seeing him again, Tori can’t remember what made her choose foolish pride over love…or why the smartest choice would be to run from this gorgeous rodeo boy as fast as her boots can take her.

He’s got five rules, and she’s aiming to break them all
Rodeo producer Cole Jacobs has his hands full running Jacobs Livestock. He can’t afford to lose a single cowboy, so when Cousin Violet offers to send a more-than-capable replacement, he’s got no choice but to accept. He expects a grizzled Texas good ol’ boy. He gets Shawnee Pickett.
Wild and outspoken, Shawnee’s not looking for anything but a good time. It doesn’t matter how quickly the tall, dark, and intense cowboy gets under her skin—Cole deserves something real, and Shawnee can’t promise him forever. Too bad Cole’s not the type to give up when the going gets tough…
“A fun, wild ride! You need to pick up a Kari Lynn Dell.”
