âIâve missed you, Ellie Crandall,â he said, his voice low. âMore than I realized.â
As he began to lower his head, Ellie felt her eyes flutter shut.
Gently he placed a small series of nibbling kisses along the lower rim of her mouth, undemanding, soft and inquisitive.
With a moan of surrender, she eagerly rose on tiptoe to press her body closer to his. Her action caused him to tug her closer to his body and she became acutely aware of her breasts pressed against his hard chest.
She inhaled a swift breath. There was nothing innocent about the feel of his arousal, strong and unyielding as it pressed against her belly.
âGod, Ellie ⦠you taste so good. Your mouth is like honey,â he told her with a catch in his voice. He bent back down to recapture her lips, wrapping his hands around her waist and pulling her impossibly closer to his big, hard body.
Arching her body fully into his, on fire from his talented tongue, Ellie tunneled her fingers through his hair.
âDr. Eleanor Crandall, youâre wanted at the front!â
And just like that, the sound of her fatherâs voice right outside the door brought Ellieâs eyes wide open.

Hot to Touch To Tempt a Wilde To Love a Wilde To Desire a Wilde
Dear Reader,
There is nothing sexier or more emotionally charged than reaching for and holding on tight to a love you once thought unattainableâwhich is exactly what happens to the hero and heroine in my third installment of the Wilde in Wyoming series.
In To Desire a Wilde, sexy Shilah Wilde comes face-to-face with Ellie Crandall, the one woman heâs never been able to get out of his mindâsomething that no one, least of all Ellie, ever knew. When she left Wyoming to pursue her career as a veterinarian, following in her fatherâs footsteps, she swore sheâd never return, despite the feelings she once had for Shilah. But now sheâs back, ten years later, and working for the USDA in a case against the Wilde Ranch. Despite doubts and questions, sparks fly and passions ignite. The hidden yearnings they once shared for each other blossom into a raging passion that sets the Wyoming Wilde Ranch and everything in its path ablaze.
I appreciate your support and will always do my best to deliver to you, my valued readers, emotionally charged stories filled with love, life and laughter ⦠and red-hot, scalding passion!
Keep it sexy!
Kimberly
To my amazing daughter, who fills me with laughter and
makes my days brighter. I love you, pooh!
Ellieâs booted footsteps sank silently into the damp grass that separated the east stable from the closed corral. She stopped at the coralâs locked gate and propped her arms along the fence and tilted her face upward.
The sun fell like magic against her upturned face. An unknowing smile tugged at the corners of her full lips as she drew in a deep, hungry breath.
It had been a long time since sheâd been at the ranch. She blew out the breath and turned her attention to the lone corralled horse.
The female thoroughbred standing alone, isolated, was one of the Wilde Ranchâs latest acquisitions, one that Nate Wilde, the oldest brother, had bought at a ranch near Cheyenne several months ago.
From her father, who was the veterinarian for the Wilde Ranch, Ellie knew theyâd tried mating the Arabian a few times with several of their top-quality quarter horses. However, they had quickly realized that although theyâd managed to tame her, it hadnât been enough to allow her to tolerate another horse anywhere near herâat least not for mating.
She stood grazing in the middle of the corral, content to be left alone.
Ellie felt a certain empathy with the beautiful horse. She too found contentment in being alone.
After several minutes Ellie turned away and again lifted her face upward, shielding her eyes from the brightly glowing sun.
