Heâs going beyond the call of duty
Salt Lake City PD detective Noah Stallion is missing one thing: a soul mate. He doesnât expect to find her at his fifteenth high school reunion. But reconnecting with Catherine Mooreâhis childhood crush, and now a beautiful and savvy businesswomanâbrings back an onslaught of memories. And brings on a weekend of unending passion when they give in to their sizzling attraction.
The guy voted Most Likely to Marry a Supermodel awakens a lot more than lust in Catherine, and saying goodbye is the hardest thing sheâs ever had to do. Then pleasure and business collide when Noah reenters her life. With an obsessive stalker targeting the high-flying CEO just as sheâs preparing to take her aircraft-leasing company public, Catherine is extremely vulnerable. But Noah canât let the best thing that ever happened to both of them get awayâno matter what the risk...
She shook her head. âYou must think Iâm a crazy woman,â she said, her voice a loud whisper.
âNo. What I think is that I want to make love to you. And I think you want to make love to me. And if we make love, I think we both know that itâs not going to be a casual encounter that either of us is just going to forget about. So we need to regroup. Thatâs what I think.â
His comment struck a nerve, and she nodded. âI should probably warn you that Iâve never done well with relationships,â Catherine said.
Noah smiled. âWell, thereâs a first time for everything.â
She smiled back. âI really had a great time tonight.â
âSo did I.â He moved to her side and grabbed her hand, entwining their fingers tightly together.
âWalk me to the door,â he said as he turned in the direction of the exit.
When they reached the entranceway, Noah turned. His gaze danced over her face before he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her cheek, his lips lingering. His touch ignited a raging flame deep within her.
He pressed his hand to her cheek, his fingers trailing the line of her profile. She leaned into his palm, closing her eyes as she relished the intensity of his touch. And then he kissed her.
How exciting is this? More Stallions! Finding that new branch to the Stallion family tree came with some challenges, but I have so much love for this family that it was well worth the effort. And, of course, there could be no Stallion story without that foundation of family, friends and faith.
Much like his Dallas cousins, Noah Stallion is the consummate big brother. Heâs loving, protective and generous. Heâs also a stern, no-nonsense taskmaster and heâll melt your heart. Heâs partnered with the indomitable Catherine Moore, a woman who knows what she wants and who wonât let anything keep her from achieving her goals. Together, they are fire and fire, so prepare for some serious heat!
Stallion Magic embraces some of my favorite things and places, so I hope youâll enjoy the journey.
I cannot say thank you enough for your support. I am humbled by all the love you keep showing me, my characters and our stories.
Until the next time, please take care and may Godâs blessings be with you always.
With much love,

Noah Stallion adjusted his necktie, taking one last glance at his reflection in the mirror that decorated the menâs restroom. The expensive designer suit he wore fit him well and as he stared at his reflection he couldnât help but think that despite his initial reservations his investment in the silk garment had been well worth the money.
He took a deep breath. This would be his third interview with the company whoâd actually sought him out. Heâd been surprised when the head of their Human Resources department had first called to inquire about his availability. Sheâd been fully aware of his credentials even though sheâd never laid eyes on his résumé.
Since he had not been in the market for a new job he hadnât thought twice about hanging up on the woman. But sheâd persisted, calling back to convince him to at least meet with their management team to discuss the opportunity. After some serious consideration heâd acquiesced but not before his two sisters had pointed out that blessings didnât just drop in your lap without a good reason. That first meeting had led to this one, an interview with the companyâs chief operating officer, and Noah still wasnât sure if he was even all that interested in the position.
