Portrait of a Cowboy

About this ebook
Sports photographer Kim is down on cowboys. Since her divorce, she is determined to go it on her own, and most of the rodeo crowd knows she won’t date a performer.
When she literally trips over hunky Wolf Voegler, she has to rethink her rule. Swept away by his gorgeous looks and his European charm, she rationalizes: surely one dinner date won’t hurt ... or even one unforgettable night of passion.
Before it is over, though, she finds herself wanting more than just a portrait of this cowboy as a keepsake.

This one is for a real Kim who loaned me her name. Thanks for your friendship, Hon, and I hope you enjoy living this ale vicariously with your namesake. (You did volunteer!)
My deepest thanks to the staff at AQP for your wonderful work and support through each of my projects and a very special thanks to Mr. Z
for giving wonderful faces—and physiques!—to my cowboys. And for remembering the sunsets!

Portrait of a Cowboy
By Deirdre O’Dare
Kim careened around the corner of the two-and-a-half story wooden tower at a dead run, her waist-length braid slapping on her back. She knew the rodeo office was housed in the bottom, while the announcer’s booth sat on top. Not that it mattered at the moment. Late again—the story of my life.
As she struggled to balance three-and-a-half armfuls of photo gear in the two she’d been given, she swore under her breath. Shit, of all days for my alarm clock to go kablooy. If I’ve missed Cody’s ride, he’ll kill me.
She had a standing contract with Riverbend’s favorite son, Cody Elkheart, to capture on video every ride he made. She also gleaned his publicity shots from the best stills she could get. Similar arrangements with numerous other contestants formed the work which was her bread and butter.
When she twisted to avoid a steaming fresh pile of horse manure, she felt her bad knee protest the motion. That knee was the main reason she now photographed instead of competing in the rodeos. There was enough metal in it to set off the alarms every time she went through airport security.
Watch your step, gal. You’re in Marlboro country and all the green ain’t grass.
As she staggered, trying to regain her balance, she tripped over a pair of blue jean clad legs that suddenly appeared at the periphery of her vision. The strap of the biggest camera bag slid off her shoulder. At the same instant, two powerful arms came out of nowhere to catch and steady her. She gasped. How could he have gotten up so fast?
For a long minute she rested against a solid chest covered in soft blue chambray. Then her rescuer very carefully released her. He took a half step back,
