“You do know you’re trespassing, right?” “I’m not trespassing.” He quirked one eyebrow, the challenge clear. Then he looked pointedly at my chest again. I crossed my arms. “My mother is married to the owner of this ranch.” His eyes widened. “Is she? How nice for you.” With a cocky grin, he tossed my shirt to me, but didn’t look away. “I’m crushed you don’t remember me, Sis.” It was one of the most humiliating moments of my life. It was supposed to be private here, but I’d been caught sunbathing nude. The hot cowboy got a much better look at me than I got at him, but it didn’t matter anyway. He was off-limits. I’d just met my stepbrother after ten years of avoiding the hateful brat. During which, I guess we both grew up.

I finally had my big break, but would it mean I'd lose everything else I held dear? To prepare for my one-woman show, I'd need to leave the ranch early. Would I ever see Travis again, after the inevitable funeral for his dad? What was happening with my best friend? I felt she'd abandoned me, and what was worse, she couldn't even tell me where she was - or wouldn't. At least I had a project to occupy my lonely days and nights. The gallery insisted I paint the nude sketch of Travis full-size. Not being able to be with him as I did so would haunt me.

The five titles in the Irrationally His series are brought together in one seamless read in Irrationally His, The Collection. Chelsea couldn’t stand Travis ten years ago when her mother married his dad and moved to his ranch in Montana. The feeling was mutual. He stayed – she went to live with her dad. On the occasion of a week-long ten-year anniversary party, they meet as virtual strangers, and sparks still fly. The trouble is, where sparks fly, fire soon follows. Even though he’s too cocky, too arrogant, too flippant and a bum, she can’t keep her mind and soon her hands off of him. And even though she’s illogical, unfathomable and completely annoying, she’s all woman and irresistible to him. Nothing but trouble can come from them acting on their desires. The question is, just how much trouble are they willing to tolerate for the sake of exploring how far their passion will take them?
