Dear Reader,
Iâm thrilled to be back with the latest and final installment in the sexy BRADDOCK BOYS series! Itâs Colton Braddockâs turn, and believe me, heâs more than ready. Once the brave, courageous leader of the most notorious Confederate raiding group during the Civil War, Colton is now a vampire tormented by his past. Heâs spent over one hundred and fifty years blaming himself for the massacre that killed his son and destroyed his home. No more. He now knows who the real killer is and heâs determined to have his revenge once and for all.
His plans are side-tracked, however, when he meets Shelly Lancaster, a strong-willed deputy sheriff with her own agenda. Shelly is tired of reading about hot, mind-blowing sex. She wants to experience it for herself, and so sheâs on a manhunt to find the perfect partner. When Colton walks into the Skull Creek Sheriffâs Office, she knows in an instant that heâs just the cowboy for the job.
I hope youâve enjoyed riding along with the Braddock Boys these past few books. While Iâm saying goodbye to Skull Creek and my beloved cowboy vampires for now, Iâll be back in 2013 with a new series featuring the small town of Lost Gun and a trio of wickedly hot brothers named after the most notorious outlaws to ever blaze through Texas!
I love to hear from readers. You can visit me online at www.kimberlyraye.com or write to me c/o Harlequin Books, 225 Duncan Mill Road, Toronto, ON M3B 3K9, Canada, or connect with me on Facebook.
Much love from deep in the heart!

This book is dedicated to all of the wonderful
readers who love the Braddock Boys as much as I do. You make writing the best job in the world!
IT WAS OFFICIALLY the worst moment of her romantic life.
Shelly Lancaster read the singles ad printed in yesterdayâs edition of the Skull Creek Gazette and the Red Bull sheâd guzzled at lunch churned in her stomach.
SWF seeks single, adventurous, incredibly sexy male for hot, mind-blowing sex (no serious relationship wanted). One night only. Instant chemistry a must. For a really good time, email: [email protected].
WTF?
Her chest tightened and the air rushed from her lungs. No. No, no, no, no, no!
Why had she gone to all the trouble of setting up an anonymous email accountâ[email protected]âwhen no one had even bothered to use it?
Panic bolted through her and she fought for a breath. At least now she understood why her Monday had been straight out of an episode of the Twilight Zone.
She should have known something was up. Sheâd felt the familiar twinge in her gut yesterday. That instinct telling her that something was about to happen.
Something bad. Really bad.
Sheâd assumed it had something to do with the new prisoner that had been delivered on Saturday. The entire office was on pins and needles because of Jimmy Holbrook. At only twenty-three, heâd built quite a reputation for prison escapes. Heâd waltzed out of all four of the facilities where heâd been housed and the Texas Rangers were determined he wouldnât walk out of number five. Hence the transfer to a maximum security prison in El Paso. But in the rush to get him under lock and key at an adequate facility, there had been a few mistakes with his transfer paperwork. Which meant that Jimmy was currently locked up in a back cell awaiting an armed escort to take him the last leg of his trip. Until the paperwork got sorted out, he and the Texas Ranger parked outside his cell were stuck right here in Skull Creek. Hence the churning in her stomach.
