DIRK KNOWLTON ON TOUR
From ROUGH RIDER by Victoria Vane
Janice glanced twice over her shoulder as she darted toward
the exit, but to her relief Grady hadn’t followed. She’d watched the interplay
between Dirk and Grady in the last few minutes with growing tension. She
suspected there would be a fight before the night was over and knew she’d made
the right decision to cut out. Cowboys, especially the rough stock variety,
always exuded an excess of testosterone and frequently needed to blow off
steam—especially after an event. She’d heard enough to know that rough sex and
bar fights were the preferred means.
She’d never understand how guys could
beat the shit out of one other one minute and then share a beer in the next,
slate wiped clean—usually with blood. Sometimes she envied a man’s freedom to
live for the moment and act out physical impulses without thought of
repercussions.
Maybe the male way was better.
Women were vindictive, often carrying
grudges for years without achieving any kind of resolution. She wondered what
life would be like without overthinking every little detail—less complicated
for sure—which brought back the whole scene in the ladies’ room. She wondered
what had actually transpired between Dirk and Rachel, who seemed to be the
rodeo world’s most perfect couple. They hadn’t spoken to each other from the
time she and Grady had arrived and seemed to be purposely avoiding one another,
except for the exchange of baleful looks. On top of that, Rachel had been
flirting outrageously with Dirk’s brother, Wade.
Janice shook her head. What a stupid
move that was. Wade might be taller and maybe even better looking in the
conventional sense, but he wasn’t Dirk. Janice didn’t know a guy around who
could hold a candle to Dirk—at least not in her estimation. He just seemed to personify
everything a man should be—strong, honest, loyal. Dirk had integrity. He didn’t
cheat. He’d never stepped out on Rachel, to her knowledge, and Janice was in a
position to hear. Cowboys weren’t above gossip—especially concerning who’s
banging who.

Two wary hearts …
Janice Combes has two loves, bucking bulls and Dirk
Knowlton. But Dirk only has eyes for a dazzling rodeo queen. How can Janice
ever compete while mired ankle-deep in manure? Exchanging playful banter with
Dirk is all Janice can expect—until the stormy night he knocks on her door
dripping wet and needing a place to crash.
Different Dreams…
Dirk Knowlton is living the cowboy dream. Life should be
good—roping, branding, backing broncs, riding bulls, but there's a void he
can't seem to fill. After getting hung up by a bull, he wonders if this is
really the life he wants. Restless and rebellious, he bolts…but there’s a
certain cowgirl he can’t forget.
When a battle-scarred Dirk returns to his Montana ranch
he's determined to hang on at any cost. Janice has come back home to lick her
own wounds. When old dreams turn to dust, can two wary hearts take another
chance on love?
