BlurbWith its thriving military base, Seaside, North Carolina, is teeming with heroes of all stripes. But, as the Hero’s Welcome series from Annie Rains continues, it takes a cowboy to rescue the town’s newest resident from heartache.
After a bad breakup
leaves Julie Chandler completely devastated, she comes to Seaside seeking a
fresh start. A talented, compassionate yoga teacher, she has developed a
program to help alleviate the effects of PTSD, but getting a bunch of
bullheaded Marines into downward facing dog might be impossible. So Julie’s
shocked when one of her first students dives in headfirst—and almost tempts her
to take down her walls with his easy smile and electrifying touch.
Ever since Texas cowboy
turned Marine pilot Lawson Phillips lost a crew member in a helicopter
accident, he hasn’t been able to fly. When a psychologist orders him to attend,
of all things, a yoga class, Lawson’s outraged—until he finds out Julie is the
instructor. She’s beautiful, graceful, and completely guarded when it comes to
his advances, but he’s determined to find out what makes her tick. Because
underneath Julie’s hard shell is a woman Lawson knows he could fall for—and
he’s not ready for the ride to end.

“Come ride with me anytime,” he said, helping her
dismount from the horse when they were back at the barn. He didn’t place his
hands on her ass this time, which was both regrettable and a relief. Instead,
he steadied her waist with his hands. She turned to face him after he helped
her to the ground, and was surprised to find how close they were standing.
Close enough that the brim of his hat on her head nearly touched his chin.“This belongs to you.” She took off the hat and went up on her tiptoes to put it back where it belonged. Their eyes locked as the movement brought them even closer together. Her heart bucked again, like a wild horse ready to bolt.
Returning to flat feet, she started to step away. Needed to step away. Too bad Bon-Bon was still behind her, blocking her escape.
“Julie?” he said, making her feet pause and her heart stutter. She liked the sound of her name on his lips. Low, deep.
“Yes?” she asked breathlessly.
He reached out his hand to tame a strand of her hair brushing against her cheek. “You have what I call hat-hair.” He took his time smoothing the hair around her ear, awakening every nerve in her body. Then he slowly dipped, keeping his blue-as-the-ocean eyes on hers, and kissed her.
She melted into him instead of stepping away. The side of his cheek on hers was warm and inviting, intoxicating. His tongue tapped softly against hers, just once, as he swept his hand behind her neck, pulling her gently toward him.
A soft moan escaped her throat, betraying her. She parted her lips for him, inviting him in, begging him to stay, which he did for just a moment longer. Then he broke it off, keeping it sweet. The kiss had threatened to be more, though. It had threatened to take her inside that barn, lay her down on a blanket of hay, and be a whole hell of a lot more.
“See you later, Lawson,” she said, forcing herself to step away from him, away from the horse and the barn. She turned toward her car and didn’t look back. Otherwise, her hormones were going to win and drag this cowboy into the barn and slam the stall doors behind them.
