Deborah Fletcher Mello - Stallion Magic

He’s going beyond the call of duty

Salt Lake City PD detective Noah Stallion is missing one thing: a soul mate. He doesn’t expect to find her at his fifteenth high school reunion. But reconnecting with Catherine Moore—his childhood crush, and now a beautiful and savvy businesswoman—brings back an onslaught of memories. And brings on a weekend of unending passion when they give in to their sizzling attraction.

The guy voted Most Likely to Marry a Supermodel awakens a lot more than lust in Catherine, and saying goodbye is the hardest thing she’s ever had to do. Then pleasure and business collide when Noah reenters her life. With an obsessive stalker targeting the high-flying CEO just as she’s preparing to take her aircraft-leasing company public, Catherine is extremely vulnerable. But Noah can’t let the best thing that ever happened to both of them get away—no matter what the risk...

She shook her head. “You must think I’m a crazy woman,” she said, her voice a loud whisper.

“No. What I think is that I want to make love to you. And I think you want to make love to me. And if we make love, I think we both know that it’s not going to be a casual encounter that either of us is just going to forget about. So we need to regroup. That’s what I think.”

His comment struck a nerve, and she nodded. “I should probably warn you that I’ve never done well with relationships,” Catherine said.

Noah smiled. “Well, there’s a first time for everything.”

She smiled back. “I really had a great time tonight.”

“So did I.” He moved to her side and grabbed her hand, entwining their fingers tightly together.

“Walk me to the door,” he said as he turned in the direction of the exit.

When they reached the entranceway, Noah turned. His gaze danced over her face before he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her cheek, his lips lingering. His touch ignited a raging flame deep within her.

He pressed his hand to her cheek, his fingers trailing the line of her profile. She leaned into his palm, closing her eyes as she relished the intensity of his touch. And then he kissed her.

How exciting is this? More Stallions! Finding that new branch to the Stallion family tree came with some challenges, but I have so much love for this family that it was well worth the effort. And, of course, there could be no Stallion story without that foundation of family, friends and faith.

Much like his Dallas cousins, Noah Stallion is the consummate big brother. He’s loving, protective and generous. He’s also a stern, no-nonsense taskmaster and he’ll melt your heart. He’s partnered with the indomitable Catherine Moore, a woman who knows what she wants and who won’t let anything keep her from achieving her goals. Together, they are fire and fire, so prepare for some serious heat!

Stallion Magic embraces some of my favorite things and places, so I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.

I cannot say thank you enough for your support. I am humbled by all the love you keep showing me, my characters and our stories.

Until the next time, please take care and may God’s blessings be with you always.

With much love,
