Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Maisey Yates’s new release: Lone Wolf Cowboy

 

Spotlight&Giveaway

 

How exciting to finally share Vanessa Logan’s story with you!

LONE WOLF COWBOY is a book that was inspired by readers. After SMOOTH-TALKING COWBOY’s release, so many readers asked about the heroine Olivia’s twin, Vanessa, and asked if she would get her happily ever after.
 
For Vanessa, this happy ending is so hard won, and I think it was such a joy to write for that reason. Romance is powerful because it shows the enduring nature of love, and the ability it has to change how we see ourselves.
 
To anyone who feels like they might be beyond hope, or beyond love. You are precious beyond price. And you are worthy of love. -Maisey Yates
 

Will Gold Valley’s most reclusive cowboy finally find a reason to heal?

 
As a former EMT and a wildland firefighter, there’s no one Jacob Dalton can’t rescue—except himself. Since his best friend’s tragic death, Jacob has isolated himself…until Vanessa Logan returns to Gold Valley. He saved her life during a medical call years ago, and he’s never forgotten her. The instant jolt of heat between them takes him by surprise, but he knows that giving in to it would only end in disaster…
 
For Vanessa, returning home was about healing, not about exploring her attraction with Jacob. He is the guardian angel from her past—with strong, capable hands and an irresistible mouth. A temptation she knows she can’t afford. Until the chemistry between them explodes, and unites them in a way they could never have imagined…

 

Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from Lone Wolf Cowboy 

Vanessa Logan had been avoiding going home again for a very long time.
And for most of that time, she had been convinced that no one was terribly sad about her absence. It had been seven years since she’d seen her family by the time she’d come back to town about two years earlier for her sister Olivia’s wedding.
She’d been in a haze then—not a drug haze—which she imagined is what her family would have assumed, but just a kind of strange, surreal sensation, returning to a place that she hadn’t been to in so long.
It was different this time.
Different now two years later as she drove past the welcome sign all done up in blue and cheery yellow, welcoming her to the town of Gold Valley.
Back to the county that bore her last name, where she had been born, raised and let everyone down who had ever loved her.
She was closing the loop. That’s why she was back. Anyway, there was an opportunity here, and she figured she might as well take it. Olivia had a baby. Olivia had a family, and no matter what had happened between them in the past, Olivia was her twin. It seemed…it seemed like she should be closer to her.
Geographically, and emotionally. Though she knew it would all have to be done in stages.
She imagined her parents would want her near eventually. Maybe. She couldn’t say for sure. She wouldn’t particularly blame them, she supposed, if they couldn’t get over it.
She had been difficult. She’d caused them worry. They had assumed the worst about her…and in many ways they’d been right to. At least, at the time.
Her childhood had been ideal for a while. Before she’d wanted to be anything other than Olivia’s twin, and Cole and Tamara Logan’s daughter. Before she ever got curious about the forbidden things her parents had warned her so sternly about.
She ached for that sometimes. For those simple days. When a hug from her father had healed all wounds. When she’d gone for long lunches with her mom after shopping in town.
When she and Olivia had whispered secrets under the covers. Until Olivia had gotten scared of secrets, and Vanessa’s had gotten too dark to share.
She might never get back to those times. It might all be too broken. But even if it was…even if it was, she was still glad she was here.
She was back for her.
Gold Valley was the last refuge for her demons, and the final locked door in her life.
It was her origin story. And everyone needed to revisit an origin story.
She’d gone out on her own, failed, hit rock bottom and healed. But she had healed away, not at the site of her very first fall from grace.
And it was time.

    I liked the excerpt. The excerpt does a good job of opening the door to Vanessa’s life and some of her issues. It raises questions, draws you in to her state of mind, and makes you want to find out what is going on. It is a good hook for the book.
