Jordan Mackenzie has left Colorado for New Mexico to claim the Lucky Seven Ranch--an inheritance left to her by an aunt. She's barely arrived when rugged rancher and neighbor, Wyatt Brannigan, and handsome, outgoing contractor, Cole Roberts, immediately involve themselves in her life.

Jordan soon learns her aunt not only ran a horse rescue operation, but a powerful land baron believes it's his destiny to own the Lucky Seven and will stop at nothing to get it.

Threats, animals, and forces of nature are a few of the challenges Jordan faces, but most unexpected is the rivalry between Wyatt and Cole, both determined to win her.  But who is just a friend?  And to whom does she lose her heart?  The discovery of a family secret and a near tragedy reveal just how lucky Jordan is, especially when it comes to true love.

Wyatt closed the door behind himself, removed his Stetson and entered.  He sunk into the sofa and placed his hat on his lap.  His dog, Tag, coiled into a ball at his feet and started to snore.
   
Jordan curled into the armchair, tucking her feet under her legs.  She told him about the beam of light through the window, the crashing sounds, the truck speeding away, and the hang-up call.  "You didn't happen to recognize the pickup when it passed your ranch, did you?"

He shook his head.  "I'm not positive, but I can make a pretty good guess at who it was."

"Who?"

"I think the truck belongs to a man named Joe Campbell."

Jordan's eyes grew wide.  "He was one of the men in the cafe this afternoon.  He and another guy were watching my every move.  Cole told me they work for Addison Stillwell.  And"--she nodded once, firmly--"I know all about Mr. Stillwell."

Wyatt honed in on the other man.  "Cole?  You mean Cole Roberts?"

"Yes.  You know him?"

"Sure, I know him.  Tularosa is a very small town."  He chuckled.  "So, you struck up a conversation with Cole Roberts in the cafe?"

"Well, he talked to me first.  I was just being polite."

"Sure.  All the pretty ladies are polite to Cole."

Jordan squared her jaw.  "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, nothing.  I just never see Cole Roberts talking to any ugly women, that's all."

The hint of a smile formed on her lips.

"Now, back to these men--one was white, one was Mexican?"

"Yes.  Cole said their names were Joe Campbell and Cinnamon."

Wyatt corrected her with a crooked grin.  "It's Cimarron.  Joe Campbell and Cimarron Cruz.  A couple of petty criminals, worth less than the crap on the bottom of my boots."  He leaned forward and delved deep into her eyes.

His electric blue eyes stirred something within her. 

"Stillwell didn't waste any time, and he hasn't even introduced himself to you yet." 

The man's eyes traveled to her tee shirt and down to her bare knees.  Jordan suddenly became aware of the way she was dressed.  Or rather, not dressed.  She wondered how noticeable her breasts were beneath her sleep shirt.  She crossed her arms across her chest like a protective shield.  Wyatt blinked and looked away, but not before his lips split into a grin. 

Her cheeks flamed crimson.  At least he could pretend not to notice!

He slapped his knees and twisted his neck to look into the kitchen.  "Got any coffee on the stove?"

Jordan's mouth gaped. Calmly, she replied, "Nope. Sorry. This diner's closed for the night."

"I'll take a rain check then," he said pleasantly as he rose from the sofa.  He plopped his hat on his head and bent down to rouse his sleeping dog.  "Come on, Tag.  Let's go before we wear out our welcome."

Lucky in Love is a great western romance filled with suspense.  The scene at the café with Jordan, Wyatt and Cole was priceless.   It was hilarious watching the men try to mark her as their own territory.  The letters Jordan finds were so moving I was tearing up.  Lucky in Love features everything: romance, suspense and laughs, with the biggest laughs come from the little devil, Houdini.  He was hysterical!   Lucky in Love was a fast-paced thrilling romance.  – Miranda, Joyfully Reviewed
