Now all he cares about is raising his son and running his family's ranch. She up and left him after their son was born for Seattle because she couldn't make it as a ranch wife in Wyoming. He has become a bitter and lonely cowboy who doesn't have much to do with women. Cord is divorced and the single father of a little boy. AJ has been in love with Cord forever (since she was 5 years old, so she says), but he's 13 years older and sees her as too young - I mean she used to be his son's babysitter for goodness sakes! Now she's 23 and decides it's time to go after what she wants, time to get noticed.

She finished the beer and hopped off the barstool.Ĭowgirl Up and Ride is the story of Cord McKade and Amy Jo. This was not the way she'd envisioned her night of seduction. Close as we can get with our clothes on without getting kicked out for lewd behavior.' The silence between them grew. 'Because the first time I put my hands on you, I want you close. Don't let him sweet-talk you until you get a chance to speak your piece. Kissin every inch of it on the way back to kissin every inch of your mouth.' I can't think beyond tastin that mole by the corner of your lips. You have the sexiest mouth I've ever seen. She glanced up, overwhelmed by the lust in his eyes. How was she supposed to answer that without giving herself away? Cord's rough hand curled over her wrist and he idly stroked her knuckles. Why me? You gotta know any one of the young guys in here would kill to have a shot at you.'ĪJ broke eye contact and scraped at the label on her beer bottle. 'You up for some fun and games?' Her mouth was so dry she just nodded. 'So, AJ you weren't pullin my leg last night?' She shook her head.
