When good things come in bad-boy packages.
She vows to find the right kind of guy but a tempting stranger challenges everything…
“Bad Choices” should have been Rina Tillbridge’s middle name and it’s time to turn over a new leaf. But when stuntman Scott Halsey struts onto her property for his latest film, her impulsive alter ego threatens to make a comeback. The quintessential thrill-seeking stuntman has no designs on commitment. So why are all his red flags igniting white-hot passion…and inspiring dreams of a Hollywood ending?
REVIEWS:
“Rina and Scott’s slow burn romance is emotional,
lighthearted, cute, is very entertaining and addictively different.” Shaka,
BookBub
“Fun flirty and super cute.” Joelle, Goodreads
“If you need an escape, a distraction or if you want to have a good time, pick this romance between a cafe owner/baker and a movie stuntman.” Aly, Goodreads

He’s discovered his leading lady.
The role of her dreams: in his arms.
Chloe
Daniels is determined to land the role of a lifetime. Even if she’s terrified
to get on a horse! And the last thing her reluctant teacher, Tristan
Tillbridge, wants is to entertain a pampered actress. But the enigmatic cowboy
soon discovers that Chloe is as genuine as she is gorgeous, and he’s determined
to make her his. Will this unlikely pair discover that the sparks between them
are anything but an act?
REVIEWS:
“Smooth pacing, likable characters (along with Chloe and Tristan, there is Rina and Mace), and a compelling plot make THE COWBOY’S CLAIM a solid read.” Romance In Color
“I loved these two together. I cannot wait to read more in this series!” Crystal, Goodreads
“If you love a series about tight-knit families, family-run businesses with lots of drama, and an opposites attract type of romance, you’ll love this new series by Nina Crespo!” Katie, Goodreads
“Watching the budding romance that happened in this story was that perfect combination of the slow burn and steaminess you could equate with a romance that will keep you reading…” Danaburk, BookBub
Clue #2
“That’s fine, but I won’t be the one buying.”
The woman veered left, still talking on her phone and digging into her large red purse.
Mace’s smile disappeared. “She really isn’t paying attention.”
“Told you.” But not even the sure win of a bet could let Tristan stand by and watch what would probably be the worst part of her day unfold.
He and Mace called out at the same time. “Hey! Look out!”
But too absorbed in her conversation, she traipsed ahead…right into the steaming fresh pile. As she skidded forward, the phone flew out of her hand and after a few long breath-holding seconds of teetering on her heels, she final y caught her balance.
Mace winced. “That could have been ugly. I’ll make sure she’s okay. Unless you’re interested. She’s cute.”
Sunglasses pushed up on her head, the woman bent down and retrieved her cel . As she stood straight, she alternated between shaking the dirtied boot on her foot and glancing at the bottom of it with a grossed-out expression.
Interested in a woman who wore high heels to a stable, and from a distance, faintly resembled his deceased father’s spoiled, devious second wife? Yeah, he’d pass. “I have a meeting in a few minutes.
She’s all yours.”
The two-way radio clipped to Mace’s tactical belt crackled to life.
“Calling all units in the southeast. Multiple reports of traffic backing up on Colton Road at the interstate exit. Motorists need assistance.”
He clicked a button on his shoulder mic. “Dispatch. Unit seven in route.” Mace looked to Tristan. “You’ll have to help her out.”
“I’m not the one wearing the badge. Rescuing people is your job.”
“I would, but duty calls. You can tell me her name later.” Mace clapped him on the back, then strode to his patrol car parked in the grass on the other side of the ring.
Tristan headed to the woman. Why couldn’t people just obey the multiple signs on the paved trail from the guesthouse that stated: No visitors allowed at the stable until 10:00 a.m. on Mondays.
“I can’t believe this.” The woman glanced up at Tristan while gingerly scraping the sole of her boot on the ground. “Is this stuff literal y everywhere—even in the main areas?”
Yards behind her, two grooms wearing blue short-sleeved pullovers and jeans rode horses with black manes and mahogany coats at a steady trot.
“Move out of the way.” Tristan picked up the pace and closed the distance.
“You don’t have to ye—” She did a double take at the oncoming horses and froze. Annoyance quickly faded from her eyes along with the color from her smooth brown cheeks.
He grabbed hold of her arm and ushered her to the side of the path. As the bays went past, she turned toward him and squeezed her eyes shut.
Her barely detectable tremors vibrated into him. Was she afraid of the horses? On a reflex, he lightly grasped her arms and put himself between her and the bays. The sweet lemon fragrance wafting from her skin was like a welcome cool breeze. It roused memories of lazy summer afternoons, lying in his hammock in the shade with a cold drink in his hand, lost in the perfection of nothing on his mind. He hadn’t enjoyed an afternoon like that in a long time.
“Thanks.” Her soft exhale rushed over his throat spreading goose bumps over him. She tilted up her head and her long lashes rose.
His heart tripped. Mace had gotten it only partial y right. She was more than just cute.
Caught between wanting to gently sweep back the curls partial y concealing her deep coppery eyes and staring at her lush full lips that were meant for long, slow, kisses, he remained suspended in the moment. Her loosening her death grip from his forearm prompted him to let her go.
The pop song ringtone blaring from her cell snapped his priorities back in place.
It didn’t matter that she was pretty and smelled like his al -time favorite flavor. She didn’t belong there if she was afraid of horses.
Had she startled one of the bays, she or the riders could have been hurt. If she wanted to play Monday morning phone tag, she needed to do it someplace else.
Just as she went to answer her cell phone he intervened. “This isn’t the place for you to talk on your phone. You have to stay alert, especial y around the horses. In fact, you shouldn’t be here.” Tristan pointed to the paved trail intersecting the path. “Like the signs back there said, guests aren’t al owed at the stable at this time of the morning.”
“I am alert.” A healthy glow returned to her face. “And I’m exactly where I should be. I’m meeting the person in charge of the stable at nine o’clock.”
“About?”
“That’s between me and them.”
“I’m the stable manager, and you’re not on my schedule.”
