the next town, the next trophy and his next ride. When he rolls into Sheridan,

Barbeque and Cowboys
I love barbecue. Unfortunately,
I didn’t eat much barbecue growing up. We had a very old grill and my dad said
it was a pain to clean. On a rare occasion I was treated with a barbecued
hot dog, hamburger or even steak. I’m a country girl. It seems like
everyone in my extended family barbecues and I was stuck with a dad who didn’t
care for it.
Since
barbecue meals were so far and few between I had to come up with something else
I could make for myself. I just found the grill a little intimidating. And yes,
the old thing really was a pain to clean. So I came across this no mess and no
fuss recipe. I’m not too handy in the kitchen. In my opinion the slow cooker
ground beef barbecue is no fail.
Do you want
to snag your own cowboy? I suggest barbecue!
Is your
mouth watering yet? No? Then scroll down and look at the two hunks on my cover.
Now I know your mouth is watering. Here is my recipe to satisfy your barbecue
craving. If you want a cowboy fix too you’ll have to buy Perfect Ride.
Slow Cooker Ground Beef Barbecue

Recipe makes 20 servings (but you can easily adjust to the
number of servings you want)

2
tablespoons prepared mustard
1/4
cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 1/2

beef in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until brown, breaking up the
meat as it cooks, about 15 minutes. Drain excess grease.

brown sugar, and ketchup into a slow cooker, and stir to combine. Set the
cooker on Low, and cook for 6 to 8 hours.

Perfect
Ride
Blurb:
Professional bull rider Garrett Anderson lives for
the next town, the next trophy and his next ride. When he rolls into Sheridan,
Wyoming, the last thing he expected was to meet a cowboy like Cole—a man who
corrals his heart and leaves him aching for a love he never realized he’d been
missing.
Surrounded by hate, Cole Richards wasn’t prepared
for Garrett’s passion or the longing their night together leaves him with. But
when he’s shot, and stuck in his hospital bed, Cole watches every second of
Garrett’s disastrous ride, and is heartbroken when the battered and bruised
bull rider leaves town.
Attacked again and knee-deep in trouble, Cole wants
only Garett at his side. But can his bull rider trade fame and fortune for a
lifetime with his one perfect ride?

Excerpt:
“There he is.” Cole put a foot up on the lower slat
of the fence and rested his arms on the upper. “Take a good look at him while
he’s standing still. You won’t see him like this in the ring.”
He eyed the bull with respect. He stood out from the
rest of the top ten. Spitfire was big, over sixteen hundred pounds of pure,
cream-colored power, topped with foot-and-a-half long horns. The way Spitfire
eyed him and began to dig at the ground like he wanted to test the limits of
the temporary fence sent a shiver up his spine. He’d have to be careful with
this one. He gave Cole a sidelong look and studied the man as he watched his
bull.
He liked the sandy-blond stubble dusting the man’s
chin and cheek. Liked the way his lips were wide and meaty and showed a bit of
wear at the edges, betraying either late-night trysts or the tendency to chew
on them as he worried. Garrett voted for the latter. Oh, he could picture Cole
bent over taking it from another man easily enough, but the thought made him
instantly jealous, so he squelched the notion. With nowhere to set his still
full plate, he perched it on the top of a post. “You keep a pretty close watch
on him?”
Cole nodded. “He’s a rebellious one. An escape
artist, too. A little too smart for his britches. Someday he’ll end up in the
slaughterhouse if he’s not careful.”
Garrett laughed and slapped the dust off his thigh,
the motion garnering Cole’s attention. The heat of Cole’s gaze flushed him warm
all over. He couldn’t help but engage in a little appreciation of his own. His
tongue wetted his lips as he took in the round curve of Cole’s ass, his narrow
hips, up his wide, work-chiseled chest, and finally his face. The man’s gaze
blazed hotter as Garrett brushed his hand closer to his groin. “That’d be a
waste if you ask me.”
Cole swallowed and snapped his attention back up,
his eyes shining. “Yes, it would be. A real shame.”
