Tempted by Trouble
by Susan Arden

If you like your cowboys rugged and tough, and romance hot enough to peel paint, you’ve come to the right ranch.

When a woman is the magnet for the wrong man, it takes a bad boy to break old habits.

Carolina Rodriguez is a large-animal veterinarian on a mission to escape South Florida. Willing to do just about anything, she accepts a job in Annona, Texas over the internet from a family connection. At her cousin’s wedding, she runs into a handsome Texan in the parking lot. Over a fender-bender and mini faceoff, she meets Matt McLemore.

Matt is more than gorgeous. He’s Carolina’s new boss, and needs her help to determine why his cattle keep dying.

He proposes to introduce her to his family as his girlfriend, giving her the opportunity to work and stay at his ranch without arousing anyone's suspicion. Only after she learns she’s the last chance to help save his family’s cattle reputation does she agree to act the part of his girlfriend. His raw attraction to Carolina is an excruciating temptation, but a roll in the hay may prove too volatile to handle.

Matt attempts to keep a hands-off relationship until they work side-by-side on his ranch and she’s too hot to resist. Carolina refuses to admit Matt’s rugged sensuality is more than overpowering or that she’s the least bit tempted by a smooth talking bad boy.

But by the time the lab reports comes back, they’ve explored every inch of each other. All of a sudden, this fiery affair is more than just a fling. When a past flame threatens to overwhelm their newfound romance, Matt is forced to find a way to stake his claim to Carolina’s heart before it’s too late.

WARNING: Keep ice handy!

Susan Arden's Bio

Diversity in life is important to Susan. So much she obtained an MS Ed in TESOL. But the universe had other plans. From a classroom, she fell into a world filled with romance. Both real and fiction. Married the man standing behind her at Starbucks. Yep, never can tell what life has in store. So if you doubt dreams can come true, ask her about how in falling she found the courage to jump and a pair of writer wings.

Susan isn’t into chocolate, she prefers Skittles (lemon ones to be exact). Wildflowers over roses. Definitely, she adores the company of children and animals over bureaucrats. A believer in the magic of fate and destiny. Promoting “inspire a smile” by random acts of kindness to combat despair. Susan supports charity organizations including RAINN.org, Semper Fi Fund, Diversity In Books, and a robotics program for children.

Author of the bestselling Bad Boy (McLemore) romance series. The ninth book releases Jan 12, 2016: Too Hot To Handle ~ Never Say Never.
