Dancing with a Cowboy

Lucy Baumgardner, working partner in a law firm in Philadelphia, works too hard. So says the senior partner, who just happens to be her father. When she’s forced to take a two week hiatus, she assumes two weeks of pedicures, massages and poolside relaxation with a glass of wine won't kill her. But things aren't always what one expects.

To her horror, city girl Lucy ends up stuck on a working ranch with no phones, cell service, or WiFi. Her acute shock dictates she will not play cowgirl for two weeks. Making matters worse, Stace Levin, the very handsome owner /operator, does nothing to make things easy for her. Her days are filled with manual labor and one mishap after another, amusing Stace to no end. Surprisingly, he finds her not only amusing, but smart, stubborn, and very beautiful.

Knowing it’s for only two weeks, Lucy slowly succumbs to the ranch lifestyle. Every day something happens to change her mind about the good looking cowboy, Stace. One day he’s a pompous ass, and the next, well… Those inviting arms, and his generous warm lips and mouth can sure as hell change one’s mind about the guy.

And now, here's a little bit about Sandi in her own words:

I've always maintained my work ethic with a strong emphasis on professionalism. But now that I'm retired, I have surprisingly new desires. I want to acquire skills and abilities in the written word. I consider engaging in putting my imagination into words for others to read, as time well spent. My friends, and the readers of my work are important to me.

I absolutely love romance novels. As a young girl, I used to sneak my foster mother's True Romance and True Confession magazines. They always had several short hot & steamy romance novella's. I chuckle now when I remember her saying, "you're too young to read that trash". What? If it was trash, why was she reading it? Now there's a way to set a good example, yes?

When I'm not reading a book, and even sometimes when I am, I love listening to music. I enjoy Classical, Light Jazz, Easy Listening, Country, and of course the Oldies but Goodies of the 50s and 60s.

In 2007, I was in a wheelchair for eleven weeks, and I was reading two and three Romance novels a day. I shared my disappointment with a friend about a novel I read, and she suggested, actually dared me, to write my own. So, I wrote "Loving Adonis", and stuck it in a drawer. A few months later I wrote "Twisted Engagement", and it too ended up in a drawer.

Some time later, (we're talking years, not months) I took "Loving Adonis" out of the drawer and worked on it again. When I asked a few friends to read it, imagine my shock when I was asked how long before my next novel would be ready. So, after some fine tuning, "Loving Adonis" and "Twisted Engagement" became available for everyone to enjoy.

October 15, 2014 my third novel, "Dancing With A Cowboy" was released. I laughed out loud, and cried real tears while writing it.

I think reading and owning a book are two of life's many pleasures.
