This Cowboy Plays For Keeps
Wealthy Texas scion Matthew Stallion is the playboy of the Western world. In the courtroom, he’s unbeatable. On a horse, he’s unstoppable. And in bed...he’s irresistible. But it may be time for the second eldest Stallion son to hang up his Stetson when he clashes with single mother Katrina Broomes. The widowed judge is the epitome of judicial calm and old-fashioned tradition. Until Matthew unleashes her wild passion.
The charismatic, eye-catchingly gorgeous attorney is six feet plus of potent masculinity. Katrina doesn’t stand a chance against Matthew’s sensual onslaught. From the chic boulevards of Paris to the sprawling Stallion family ranch, she’s getting a lesson in seduction—Texan style. Because when it comes to love out West…the sky’s the limit!
“Are you an art collector, Matthew?”
“I’ve acquired a few pieces. I like beautiful things,” he answered. His gaze met hers and held it, the words feeling like a sweet caress against her ears.
Katrina blinked, shifting away from the emotion rising between them. “Everything is so massive,” she noted as her gaze wafted from one work of art to another.
“That’s how we do things here in Texas, ma’am,” Matthew said, exaggerating his deep Southern drawl. “We breed everything big down here!”
She laughed, her head waving from side to side. “You are so not funny,” she said as she rolled her eyes.
He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. The sensation was electric, causing Katrina to gasp loudly. “That’s why you laughed.” Matthew grinned. “Are you ready for dinner, Judge Broomes?”
“Is that going to be big, too?”
Matthew took a step toward her, moving his body near to hers. Katrina felt herself holding her breath at the nearness of him. His fingers gently caressed the length of her arm as he spoke.
“I hope it will exceed your expectations,” Matthew said, his gentle tone soothing. “I’m hoping this whole evening is going to be an event like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. If that takes big, then I assure you it will be the biggest meal you will ever have.”
Easing her gaze up to meet his, Katrina suddenly wanted to kiss the full lips smiling down at her. The heat from his body had ignited a flame deep in her midsection and she suddenly felt like she might combust from the intensity of it. She fought the sensation.
Her voice was barely a whisper as she responded. “I’d say you’re off to a good start,” she said softly.

Dear Reader,
It seems like it took forever, but the Stallion men are finally back! Those billionaire brothers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Stallion are back and they are bigger and better than ever with brother Matthew’s story. A definite Stallion stud, Matthew does not disappoint as he meets his match in district court judge Katrina Broomes.
I absolutely loved writing Matthew’s story. With each brother’s unique personality, conservative attorney Matthew brought a whole new dynamic to the table with everyone dying to know if he fathered family friend Vanessa Long’s baby. Is Matthew the father of Vanessa’s baby? Does Vanessa bring the baby-mama drama into Matthew and Katrina’s relationship?
Seduced By a Stallion answers those questions and opens the doors to much, much more to come. It was so much fun to write and I know you won’t be disappointed!
As always I have to thank each of you for taking this amazing journey with me. None of this would be possible if it were not for your support. Your words of encouragement, your critiques and your criticisms continue to keep me writing and always motivate me to write well.
I always love to hear what you think so please, please, please contact me at [email protected].
Until the next time, take care and God bless.
