Double the Trouble

DOUBLE THE TROUBLE Professional rodeo roper Karlie Upton is done with arrogant testosterone-soaked cowboys and she's done with the rodeo. Worn out from traveling and battling with the abusive bull rider she'd just broken up with, Karlie heads to her old friend's ranch to lick her wounds and hide out. Karlie knows her ex will come looking for her, because not only did she leave him, she took his meal ticket with her, a fifty-pound slack-jawed bulldog named Sarge who he received five-thousand dollars a month to care for from his crazy grandpa's estate. Karlie's plans to lie low go to hell, though, when the first person she meets in Bowie is the Chief Deputy Gabe Kelly. The handsome deputy not only gives her a lecture, he writes her a speeding ticket she definitely couldn't afford. That was all fine, though, until he threatened to impound her dog. Then things got real ugly, and he found out fast why she was called the "Wild Child" of the rodeo circuit. Karlie usually regretted the impulsive things she did, like roping a deputy, but she regrets them super fast this time when her ex-boyfriend shows up at the ranch for his dog, then ups the ante by kidnapping her sister, and the only man who can help her is Gabe Kelly. But can she eat enough crow to convince him to help her? A western romantic suspense series with hot cowboys, a dash of suspense and a lot of southern humor--the perfect recipe for Trouble. All twelve books in the Texas Trouble series can be read as standalone novels.
