Trace's Trouble
Last Chance #2 (Standalone)
By Lexi Post
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Cowboy
Release Date: February 10, 2016
Synopsis
Cowboy Trace
Williams thought he had trouble when his wife served him with divorce papers,
forcing him to move to his cousin’s horse rescue ranch. But that was nothing
compared to handling the female squatter he’s supposed to evict from Last
Chance Ranch. Though she’s a crack shot and has no use for politeness or
subtlety, her ability to communicate with animals has him seeking her out on
behalf of the ranch…and himself.
Whisper Adams lives off the grid. She cares for her invalid uncle and watches
over the wildlife that finds her. The animals are more trustworthy than the
people she’s encountered. So when a hard-bodied, easy going cowboy arrives at
her trailer and causes her heart to race, she’s anxious for him to leave, until
he asks for her help at the ranch.
Since they end up
together more often than she prefers, Whisper doesn’t deny her attraction to
Trace, who introduces her to new experiences, from riding horses to an erotic
night in bed. But mixing with people, any people, opens her to new threats.
This relationship might cost Trace his heart, but it could very well cost
Whisper her life.

Excerpt
When the cowboy
closed the door, she turned on him, a smirk curling her lip. “So, did you find
out everything you came up here for?”
The man studied
her, his eyes hidden by the shadow of his hat. “Yes I did, thank you.”
Huh? “Good. Now you
can go.”
He cocked his head.
“I would think with no one around for miles you wouldn’t mind a little company
for a change.”
“Nope.” At least
not his. He had her stomach in knots and she didn’t like it. “Not real partial
to people. Animals are much better company.”
Trace laughed at
her statement, sending a pleasant sensation over her body, like the sprinkle of
a light rain.
“I have to admit to
having that thought a time or two, especially in the ranch house. But the barn
can be peaceful, even soothing. I like listening to the sound of a horse
munching on dinner while another chuffs and moves around in the shavings.” He
looked off in the distance as if seeing every detail. “As dusk comes on, you
can hear the crickets, and the desert mice scampering back into their nests.”
His gaze locked with hers. “Nature is more straightforward than man.”
Feeling a sense of
kinship with him at his description, it took her a moment to catch the
undertone of bitterness in his final statement. Her mind eased as she sensed he
might understand. “Yeah, I get that. A horse lets you know exactly how she
feels. You also know how a coyote or mountain lion feels the second you find
yourself in their company.”
He grinned. “You in
the company of those animals often up here?”
She shrugged.
“Faust comes by when he’s hungry and—” At his intent stare, she halted.
“Anyway, you were leaving, right?”
