It's First BOOK Friday! For the next few months, we're going to highlight the first book from some of our author friends! Sometimes people find an author further down their backlist, sometimes readers think they're picking up the first book when really it's number 3 or so, sometimes the first book was just so long ago! :) So we thought it would be fun to revisit the books that started it all for some of our friends!
This month we're featuring the first book from Moira Keith, Buckling Down.
A note from Moira:
Buckling Down was not only my first book contracted, but it
was the first manuscript I’d ever finished. When I was working on the story,
Samhain announced a contemporary western romance anthology. Being my first
manuscript, I had doubts, but figured I would live by one of my favorite quotes
and take the shot. This was around the holidays, when life gets hectic enough,
but I also had my twin’s birthday to plan for. I tried to put the submission
out of my mind and let the chips fall where they may, but failed miserably. The
day of my boys 4th birthday party, I came home and checked my email.
There it was, sitting in the inbox, staring at me, taunting me. Gathering my
courage and bracing myself for the first rejection to help thicken my sensitive
author skin, I hit open. When I read that they wanted to offer me a contract, I
had to go back and read it again because I thought surely, they’d just entered
the wrong email address. Then I had one of those moments when I reverted to a
teenage girl and said “Shut Up!” while reading. It took days for it to truly
sink in that I’d just contracted my very first book!
Blurb:
When two hearts are on the line, it’s double or nothing.
A Wild Ride story.
Levi McKenna heads to Las Vegas with one simple goal: win
the rodeo and cement his place in rodeo history. Then Lady Luck throws a wild
card into the deck—Sydney Hart. Time and distance haven’t dulled the sharp edge
of their attraction, but thanks to a long-ago promise, she will always be
forbidden fruit dangling just out of reach.
Sydney wants to believe in fairy tales and happily ever
after, but her past relationships leave her doubting such things exist. She’s
ready to give up on love…until Levi walks into her bar. The man who’s always
held the missing piece of her heart. Love may not be in the cards, but that
doesn’t mean a girl can’t flirt.
Neither expected passion this hot, this fast. Yet once the
cards are dealt, the only thing left to do is play them out—and see if they
have a winning hand.
Warning: this book contains a sassy heroine, a scrumptious
hero, blood, sweat, tears, not to mention…sex laced with Vegas heat.
