Two to Wrangle by Victoria Vane

Tell us about your current series.

Hotel Rodeo is a sassy, sexy, contemporary western romance series set under the neon lights of Las Vegas. It’s funny, sexy and very fast-paced.

What is your favorite part of writing? I love the creative process. I’m not a plotter so I never know where my stories are going to take me!

What is your least favorite part of writing? I HATE DEADLINES! When I’m under a serious deadline I hardly eat or sleep, I live in my pajamas, and I won’t even mention housework!
What is your next project and when will it be released?
The first three books of my HOTEL RODEO series are back-to-back releases. HELL ON HEELS came out in January, TWO TO WRANGLE is in February, BEAUTY AND THE BULL RIDER is in March. I’m also involved in a historical romance anthology called PASSIONATE PROMISES that releases February15. After that I have SADDLE UP, the fourth book in my Hot Cowboy Nights series.

What is your typical day like?
A year ago this month I became a full time caretaker for my father in law who had a massive stroke. Ironically it happened only one month after I turned in HELL ON HEELS, a story in which the heroine’s father also has a massive stroke. Life truly does imitate art! Anyway, my life evolves around those need so I don’t get much writing done during the day. My creative muse is a night owl anyway. I typically stay up until about 2AM.

What is your favorite dessert/food?

I love apple pie, crème brulee, fresh raspberries, and Ferrero Rocher chocolate.

Tell us about your hero. Give us one of his strengths and one of his weaknesses.

Ty and Monica are both flawed characters. Ty is a divorced playboy who loves woman—but only in single serving sizes. He also has an alcohol problem that he’s mostly overcome. He’s got a smart mouth and talks a lot of smack about his ex-wife, but deep down takes responsibility for the failed marriage. He has countless “friends” but doesn’t let anyone get too close, with the exception of Tom, who shares a dream that down-to-earth Monica can’t understand.

Tell us about your heroine. Give us one of her strengths and one of her weaknesses.

Monica carries a lot of baggage too. She is fiercely protective of Tom, the only person who’s ever cared about her, and doesn’t trust Ty. She arrives in Vegas with guns blazing. When these two characters first come together in HELL ON HELLS, the combination is explosive.

What genres are you drawn to as a reader? I have always loved historicals the best. I never thought I would write contemporary romance but I have really fallen in love with my cowboy heroes- probably because they represent old fashioned tradition and values!

TWO TO WRANGLE (HOTEL RODEO #2) BY VICTORIA VANE

A COUNTRY BOY…Maybe having a hot and heavy affair with the boss’s daughter wasn’t the smartest move. But Ty Morgan didn’t regret a moment with city girl Monica Brandt…until she left Las Vegas to return to her life in New York. When devastating news sends her running back, Ty can’t help but open his arms. His heart, however, is another matter.

AND A CITY GIRL…Now that Ty has what he’s always wanted—controlling interest in Hotel Rodeo—Monica is certain their time together is at an end—until Ty asks her to come on board as a partner. Maybe it’s just her money he needs, but the chance to stick close to the sexy wrangler sure could make work a whole lot more interesting.

GET READY TO TANGO.. Their partnership doesn’t come without a heap of problems. The two can’t agree on anything—except their iron-hot attraction. As the hotel’s grand opening approaches, the truth is all too clear: Ty and Monica must find a way to mix business with pleasure if they have any shot at dancing off into the sunset together…

TWO TO WRANGLE EXCERPT

“You’re welcome, Ty,” Monica replied tightly as they exited the hotel.

“I know you meant well, but that was emasculating as hell.”

“For you or for him?” she asked with a laugh. “You came out the clear winner.”

“That’s not the point. I didn’t want or need your interference, Monica,” he grumbled. “I can handle arrogant assholes like that. Been doing it my whole life.”

“So what did you expect me to do? Stand there and let him insult you? The way you two were eyeballing each other, I was beginning to think I might see some blood.”

“I doubt it would have come to that,” he said.

“So it was all just ridiculous male posturing?”

“Pretty much,” he confessed.

“He really does have more money and influence than you, Ty,” Monica said. “He made Forbes Top 100 mogul list just last year. There’s no way you could ever top him in anything related to business, but you are in fact much better endowed. That shut him right down, didn’t it?”

“Sure did. He may never get it up again.” He signaled the limo. “I miss my damned truck.”

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“To the LINQ,” he answered and then murmured something to Frankie before handing her into the car. “I have to say Evan’s presence probably saved the evening.”

“Saved it? How?”

“We might not have even got out the door tonight if he hadn’t been there.”

“Why’s that?” she asked.

“That dress, Monica. All I can think of is peeling it off you—with my teeth.”

“Funny you should say that, I was having similar thoughts about you.”

“Oh yeah?” he rubbed his smooth shaven chin.

“Most definitely,” she purred. “I’ve always had a major thing about power suits. It’s one of the reasons I was so confused about my attraction to you. You don’t exactly dress to impress, Ty. I once tried to picture you in a suit like this, but I have to admit, my imagination didn’t even come close to doing you justice.”

He grinned. “I look that good, huh?”

“Oh yeah, cowboy. If I could move in this dress, I’d straddle you right now.”

“Don’t let that stand in your way, Sugar,” Ty said. “Dresses are real easy to work around.”

“But I thought you said we had some kind of schedule to keep?”

“We do, so I guess I’ll have to ask you to save that item for later. I think we can manage to work it into the agenda. I’ll prioritize it.”
