The Paintbrush Series

Hit on, manhandled and terrorized by the town Golden Boy all within the first five minutes in Paintbrush, Wyoming, Suzanne “Zan” Walters knows she left the boredom and a stifling ex behind her in Texas. But is that a good thing? The only redeemable aspect for her geographical relocation is a near collision with a gorgeous Cowboy blocking her exit.

Jacob Bowman’s mouth dries up when he finds the new gal in town. The woman he’d fantasized about from the diner—a curvy, vivacious, spiky-haired blonde—and the vet’s new assistant, watches him from afar wary, but oh so interested.

The pair find themselves thrown together by circumstance one too many times not to take notice of the other. Both like what they see, but both are gun-shy thanks to their former lovers. Add in the constant threats to Zan which escalate to the point of physical harm on more than one occasion and the couple feels doomed it isn’t meant to be.

Can the two get over past grievances with the opposite sex, and protect each other from eminent danger long enough to discover something more than great sex?

RELEASE DAY: THE COWBOY PLAN

Today is the release day for my sixth book:  THE COWBOY PLAN

“The Cowboy Plan” by Denise Belinda McDonald

Read An Excerpt Online
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Western Romance

ISBN: 978-1-60504-651-8
Length: Novel
Price: 5.50
Publication Date: August 18, 2009
Cover art by Tuesday Dube

Big girls don’t cry over a spilled chocolate milkshake—they run like crazy.

Alex Barrett’s all too “real life” sentence is almost over. She’s spent years being a parent to her siblings—and her flaky mother. What was her reward, other than an empty bed? Nothing. And now that she’s almost free, nothing’s exactly what she plans to do. Except have fun.

One minute she’s one of thousands of panting female fans at hotter-than-hot Drew Hartford’s concert. The next, she’s all wet—and so is he. Okay, so it’s only because she dumped a milkshake all over him.

Drew’s meteoric rise to the top of the country charts is fueled by the swooning women who throw themselves at his feet. Alex? She’s different. When their icy paths cross, she doesn’t throw her panties, she beats a hasty retreat. There’s only one way to keep this intriguing lady around long enough to charm her out of those panties: offer her a job she can’t refuse.

Drew may be every female’s definition of a fantasy man, but a paycheck and a roll in the hay do not a relationship make. Besides, Alex is tired of living 24/7 for someone else. Even a someone who’s offering her dreams of happily ever after…

Warning: Hot and heavy loving; stuff country songs are made of.

Excerpt for THE COWBOY PLAN

“Don’t worry about it, darlin’.” Large, calloused hands stilled hers as the voice sunk in.

Her gaze drifted up tight, faded denim, cupping and hugging every inch of muscular thighs to a silver belt buckle. A dark T-shirt covered flat abs with just a hint of ripple and the pecs of a well-sculpted man. She gulped. God he was so damn fine.

It was the mouth, though, that made her pulse skitter into overdrive… How many times had she fantasized about those lips? Her mouth dried as her vision filled with the crooning six-foot-two man of dreams and desires.

She dared not look him in the eyes, though she could remember the color from staring at his CD covers so many times. The chocolate brown orbs matched his thick hair to a yummy T. Almost the color of the mess she’d made all over his worn boots.

Excerpt for TRADING FACES

 “I need to call the police.” She spoke to Monty, who slept at the foot of her bed. He picked up his head, yawned and put his head back on his paws, his eyes following her movement around the room.

“But why didn’t Matthew? All he had to do was tell them what happened.” She looked at Monty for agreement. She took his steady gaze and lack of opposition as a sign she was right. “And why was someone after him?”

She tried to run her hands through her hair but a rubber band stopped her. She growled at the sight of herself in the mirror. Her hair sat in a crooked ponytail on top of her head. The bruise on her cheek stood out against her pale skin and the dark circles under her eyes reminded her of what a shitty day it had been so far. And in the wee hours of the morning, the next day didn’t seem to be starting off any better.

“Why? Why? Why?” she ranted.
