She tilted her head. “There's an idea brewing. How about you share it?”
That almost-dimple flickered for a moment. “The Wild Rose could use someone to fill in as needed. Like when the daytime receptionist takes a break, or we need to turn over a bunch of rooms fast, or a server or bartender is on holiday or calls in sick.”
She leaned forward eagerly. “You bet I could do that. I'm totally flexible about what hours I work, just as long as I can find some time to go riding. How about I run upstairs and get my flash drive, and then we can print out my resume and references and you can take a look?”
Cassidy liked everything she'd seen of the Wild Rose. Plus, Dave Cousins sure didn't seem like the kind of boss who'd sexually harass anyone.
She wondered how he felt about dating his staff. The guy was seriously hot, in an opposites-attract way.

In this exciting new series, author Susan Fox
welcomes you to Caribou Crossing, a small Western town
made for love and adventure . . .
Â
For Evan Kincaid, the best thing about his dusty hometown
was watching it fade into the distance. Jessica Bly was the
only one who didn't treat him like an outsider, and their
friendship ended with one mind-blowing night of young
passion. Now they've both got the lives they plannedâ
Evan in New York, Jess with her beloved horses in
Caribou Crossing. But business has brought Evan back
to Jess's Crazy Horse ranch on a mission that could
destroy whatever's left of her trust.
Â
Ten years ago, Jess wanted one perfect night to remember
Evan by. What she got was a broken heart
and a secret that's kept them strangers ever since.
The boy she knew was sexy and sweet; the man he's
become leaves her breathless. And no matter how much she
tells herself that country girl and city boy
don't belong together, in her heart she wants to believe
his home has been right here all along . . .
Â
Also features the full-length prequel novella
“Caribou Crossing.”
In her latest contemporary romance,
Susan Fox welcomes readers back to Caribou Crossing,
the ruggedly sexy Western town
that seems made for starting over . . .
Â
Brooke Kincaid knows second chances don't come
cheap. She's spent five years repairing past mistakes
and making her life in Caribou Crossing steady and
predictable. But now a stranger's Harley has shattered her
fence and her peace of mind in one swoop.
Because Brooke is drawn to everything about
wounded undercover cop Jake Brannon . . .
Â
By rights, Brooke should curse Jake for complicating her
life. Instead she's offered him a place to heal and a cover
story as he searches for a wanted man.
Jake knows she's vulnerable, but she's also strong,
kind, and hotter than hellfire. It's a combination
that could make even a die-hard loner long
to put up his boots and put down roots at last,
and show her just how good a second chance can get . . .
