Hotter when the sun goes down
White-water rafting guide Liam Magee is a cowboy at heartâhappy to return to his country roots at Thunder Mountain Ranch for his foster brotherâs wedding. And when Hope Caldwell shows up as a guest...well, the occasion just got more interesting. Sheâs started looking at Liam like heâs one ride she couldnât possibly resist, so why is she holding back?
Hope canât keep her eyes (and her sexy thoughts) from the hotness that is Liam. Sheâll never let herself believe in love and happy endingsâshe learned that lesson the hard wayâbut maybe she can have a little fun while sheâs on vacation. After all, thereâs only so much trouble one cowboy can cause in a week...especially once the sun sets!
Praise for Vicki Lewis Thompson
âThompson continues to do what she does best, tying together strong family values bound by blood and choice, interspersed with the more sizzling aspects of the relationship.â
âRT Book Reviews on Thunderstruck
âAll the characters, background stories and character development are positively stellar; the warm family feeling is not saccharine-sweet, but heartfelt and genuine, and Lexi and Cadeâs rekindled romance is believable from beginning to end, along with the classy, sexy and tender love scenes.â
âFresh Fiction on Midnight Thunder
âIntensely romantic and hot enough to singe...her Sons of Chance series never fails to leave me worked up from all the heat, and then sighing with pleasure at the happy endings!â
âWe Read Romance on Riding High
âIf I had to use one word to describe Ambushed! it would be charming... Where the story shines and how it is elevated above others is the humor that is woven throughout.â
âDear Author
âThe chemistry between Molly and Ben is off the charts: their first kiss is one of the best Iâve ever read, and the sex is blistering and yet respectful, tender and loving.â
âFresh Fiction on A Last Chance Christmas
âCowboy Up is a sexy joy ride, balanced with good-natured humor and Thompsonâs keen eye for detail. Another sizzling romance from the RT Reviewersâ Choice Award winner for best Blaze.â

Dear Reader,
Hey, itâs great to see you paying another visit to Thunder Mountain Ranch! Iâve had such fun with this summerâs trio of books and I canât wait to hear how you like Hope and Liamâs story. In case you didnât know, Iâm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, so come find me and letâs chat! Connecting with you is such a joy for me.
Hereâs another joyâtelling you love stories featuring gorgeous cowboys! Iâm sure Liam Magee will win your heart the way he won mine. He comes into Hopeâs life at a critical time, and the silly girl doesnât immediately recognize that heâs the answer to her prayers. Heâd probably be the answer to a lot of our prayers, if you get my drift...
Every once in a while an author is able to indulge herself with a story about the work she knows bestâwriting! Hope Caldwell is living my worst nightmare. Sheâs a blocked writer. Thank God for Liam, who rides to the rescue even if Hope thinks she doesnât need rescuing.
Enough of the buildupâturn to chapter one and dive in! Nothing like a hot cowboy on a warm summerâs night!
Joyfully yours,

LIAM MAGEE PULLED off the road, shoved back his hat and peered through the windshield of his truck. âThatâs a helluva steep driveway, Grady.â
âYeah.â His brother studied the incline. âYou should probably come around again and make a run at it. Iâm pretty sure if you hang a right at the corner, you can circle the block.â
âI know I can. I used to date a girl who lived on the next street over. Whenever we had a fight, Iâd drive that loop more than a few times until I cooled down enough to apologize.â He looked at the slope and calculated how fast heâd have to be going when he started up. At least it was July. He couldnât imagine why anyone would create a driveway like that in Sheridan, Wyoming, unless it doubled as a toboggan run. âYouâd better check the hitch and make sure the tie-downs are tight.â
