 I could say “Who doesn’t love a handsome Scotsman” and leave it at that. Callum MacPhillip deserves more. Callum immigrated from Scotland at the age of seventeen. He grew into a tall six-foot four inch, two-hundred-pound muscle man, with brownish red hair and clear blue eyes. The Scotsman is a skilled horse trainer and works on a quarter horse ranch in Wyoming. His Saturday nights are spent drinking, playing poker, and enjoying his favorite girl at the brothel in town. On the other hand, Callum is an excellent baker of scones, a good cook, proficient housekeeper and serious about someday acquiring and raising draft horses. His life is the best it can be until the day he sees a beautiful red-haired woman on the street in Cheyenne. Callum doesn’t know who she is or how to find her. A twist of fate brings them together and their lives are forever changed.  Blurb- Rose O'Brien is a stage actress masquerading as a Saloon Singer in Wylder, Wyoming. With an abusive lover hot on her tail and a handsome Scotsman proposing marriage Rose decides to flee to California before her secret can break Callum's heart –and hers. Callum MacPhilip has loved the Irish lass since he saw her enter a carriage on a street corner in Cheyenne. When a snowstorm and a turn of fate brings them together, Callum vows to protect her --and convince her to take a chance on love. Excerpt- She cradled the sides of his head in her hands. His curly reddish-brown hair fell below his ears and his well-trimmed beard suited his handsome face. An urge to kiss him swept over her. As if he read her mind, he lifted her from the chair and brushed a kiss across her lips. She melted into his embrace and rested her head on his chest. His body was hard as molded steel, and his muscles rippled as he enfolded her in a tender embrace. She’d never been this protected and cared for in her thirty years of life. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her face. His lips were on hers before she could speak. Searching. Probing. Demanding. A man, a woman each lost in the intensity of desire. The image of him naked made her core lust after a connection. She let herself feel for the first time in years, feel the affection, feel the lust, feel the love. When the kiss was over, her body instinctively gravitated toward him desiring more. “Come.” He steadied her with his arm around her waist and guided her to his bedroom. “I want you to rest, comfortable in a bed, not on the floor.” They entered a bright room with a large ornately carved bed, dressing table and mirror, and large wardrobe. The Scotsman appeared to be a strong, rough cowboy, but she was learning he was more refined and intelligent than Walker. How could she compare a devil to Callum MacPhilip?
