Blame it on the Stetson...
Brant Ellisonâs easygoing nature makes him one of the most sought-after horse trainers in Wyoming. His powerful muscles donât hurt, either. Nothing makes Brant happier than training a new colt at his foster home, Thunder Mountain Ranchâexcept maybe the coltâs sexy new owner, if she wasnât all work and no play.
Aria Danes hopes that once trained, the colt will help her injured brother. But Brant is proving to be a distraction from her responsibilitiesâshe has a wicked urge to strip him from his hat to his boots. Ride âem, cowboy. Aria and Brant canât get enough of each other. Their craving is insatiable, even if they have nothing in common. Even if some cowboys can never be tied down...

Dear Reader,
Weâre riding straight into summer, and you know what that means...cowboys! A summer filled with cowboys has become a habit with me and Iâm thrilled that so many of you have made it a habit, too! Thank you for your warm enthusiasm for the Thunder Mountain Brotherhood series. Get ready for three more books!
First of all, letâs mosey on out to the barn at Thunder Mountain Ranch, where a foal is about to be born. Brant Ellison, one of the foster boys sheltered at the ranch years ago, has a talent for training foals, and his foster mom, Rosie, has asked him to help with this one. Rosie is always looking for an excuse to bring her boys back home for a visit and if she can play Cupid in the process, so much the better!
She canât wait for easygoing Brant to meet the foalâs owner, Aria Danes. In Rosieâs opinion, Aria needs to loosen up and who better to teach her than Brant? Aria canât possibly resist the gentle giant of a cowboy who knows all the tricks for winning over a sweet little colt...or an extremely stubborn woman!
Have fun watching sparks fly, and donât forget that two more books will follow this one! Cowboy After Dark is Liam and Hopeâs story, while Cowboy Untamed is all about Grady and Sapphire. You wonât want to miss them! Oh, and please do come chat with me on Facebook.com/vickilewisthompson or on Twitter, @vickilthompson. Iâd love to hear from you!

Prologue
âBRANT ELLISON. Thatâs a good, strong name. It suits you.â
âYes, maâam. I like it.â He gave the blonde lady driving the pickup truck a smile. Her name was Mrs. Padgett. So far she seemed nice.
âI donât know what youâve been told about Thunder Mountain Ranch.â
âNot much, maâam. My aunt Susie found out about it and said itâd be the best place for me âcause I was eating her out of house and home. But donât worry. Iâve got that problem handled. I hadnât thought of it before, but you know what? I can fill up on cereal instead of the more expensive stuff.â
