Butterscotch Martini Girl Blog Takeover: Cheyenne McCray!
Thank you once again to the Butterscotch Martini Girls for making me a part of the BMGs. They are some of the wildest, wickedest, wackiest women I know. :) FUN and crazy as hell. ;)
Stay tuned to win a signed paperback from me!
Today I want to share with you the Lawmen series!
“New York Times best selling author Cheyenne McCray returns to steamy romantic suspense with high-octane thrillers featuring hunky western federal agents and the strong women who come into their lives.”
The “Lawmen” series has been one of my favorite to write. Set in Southeastern Arizona, where I grew up, the series is filled with cowboy lawmen who are melt-in-your-mouth sexy.
Individually the novel prices have been reduced as follows for a short time:
1. HIDDEN PREY $4.99 = $3.99 (full-length novel)
2. NO MERCY $4.99 = $3.99 (full-length novel)
3. SLOW BURN $2.99 (short contemporary-length novel)
4. POINT BLANK $4.99 = $3.99 (full-length novel)
The LAWMEN Box Set is an even better deal! The first three in the series are in one collection. Normally a $12.97 value, you can purchase the box set for $8.99! This includes:
HIDDEN PREY
NO MERCY
SLOW BURN
The LAWMEN Box Set will only be available for a limited time!
Here’s a little more about the LAWMEN Box Set and each novel:
HIDDEN PREY
Tori Cox, a talented and sought after musician, heads back to her roots in a small southwest town in Arizona as she flees an abusive relationship. When she arrives in Bisbee, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time—and witnesses the execution of a Federal agent by none other than the son of El Demonio, the head of the Jimenez Cartel. Tori and everyone she loves is now in danger as the cartel comes after her before she can testify.
Landon Walker, a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security, rescues Tori when he sees the beautiful woman running from members of one of the most ruthless cartels in the world. He sets out to protect her, but soon protecting her isn’t enough. The fire between them makes him want her in a way that he’s never wanted another woman, despite his wounded heart.
Diego Montego Jimenez will do everything in his power to kill the young American woman who threatens his business and family. No one lives to testify against the Jimenez Cartel. Landon isn’t about to let the cartel get hold of Tori. He’ll go to the ends of the earth and back to protect her—and show her he’s never letting her go.
NO MERCY
Over twenty years ago, when she was just a teenager, Belle ran from everything she knew to escape her abusive stepfather. She left behind the boy she loved and a circle of friends who had been like family to her since childhood.
Now, years later, the death of one of her close friends brings her face-to-face with the boy she had to leave. Only now he’s not a boy anymore.
Dylan has never gotten over Belle running away all those years ago. When Nate—one of their Circle of Seven childhood friends—is found dead, Belle and Dylan are drawn back together. It’s not long before he realizes he has a second chance to make her his.
The second reason Belle left could ruin any future she might have with Dylan. The secret hangs over her head while she falls in love with him all over again.
When a dangerous drug cartel starts targeting the Circle of Seven friends, Dylan must use all his federal law enforcement training and contacts to stay one step ahead. He must solve the clues Nate left behind before all of them end up dead.
SLOW BURN
A heart-stopping, blood-racing, western romantic suspense. In this standalone short contemporary suspense from the Lawmen series, Trace Davidson is determined to protect Christie Simpson from her ex-husband who has ordered a hit on her from his jail cell. Salvatore Reyes intends to make sure Christie never makes it to the witness stand to testify against him. In the midst of danger, Trace and Christie find love—but first they have to make it out alive.

Point Blank is not part of the box set, however you’ll want to pick it up while it’s still at the $3.99 sale price! It won’t be for long!
A free spirit with a zest for life, Natasha Simpson loves her new beginning in the small town of Bisbee, Arizona. Things couldn’t get any better.
Special Agent Brooks Allen is pissed as hell when he learns that one of his friend’s in-laws is suspected of drug trafficking. Big time. She’s been selling merchandise that’s filled with illegal narcotics.
Natasha runs into Brooks, and enjoys the company of the man who works with her cousin’s husband. And damn, but he’s hot.
When Natasha accidentally makes the discovery that her products contain cocaine, not only is her life threatened, but every member of her family is in danger.
Brooks grows certain Natasha is innocent, then discovers the tangled web she’s caught in. Along the way he loses his heart to her—now he just needs to make sure he doesn’t lose her…permanently.

We’re still going, but we’re already planning another Blog Heist on our own page very soon!!!
Tina
Can’t get enough of that grin
Here are a few more tantalizing morsels… Sure, I love a shirtless man, but give me that adorable smile, that cute grin, that sexy expression, and I am lost.
Let’s start with OH MY GOD. Not only is Dwayne Johnson one of the sexiest men on the planet
, he’s also got one of the cutest grins any man can have.
Lethal!
Even More Lethal!
Then there’s Vin Diesel. I mean really.
Another sexy man, and look at this laugh.
Give it to us Vin!
Who’d have thought there was a body like this in the guy from Parks and Rec? Chris Pratt had a cute smile then, but Oh, Lordy. Combined with this body…
T R O U B L E
I think I have a serious thing for sexy smiles.
And Sexy bodies. Definitely Sexy Bodies.
One of my favorite Actors EVER, Will Smith has the physique going for him…
And guess what else. The freaking sexy smile!!!
Matt Damon…
Another one of my favorite actors EVER.
I could watch him in the Bourne movies over and over and over.
Oh, wait. I have.
He apparently doesn’t do much shirtless, because I managed to find this pic as the closest I could get.
Works for me!
Can you possibly guess what else?
Sigh.
I could watch him all day… Just give me a glimpse of that smile.
Maybe what started it was back in the day, when a rebel without a cause named Han Solo in Star Wars gave that cute grin that sent my teenage heart to pattering.
And as Indy–forget about it. I think Harrison Ford was my first love affair with a man with a grin that could make a woman melt! 
Sure, I like a nice physique, but give me a man with a sexy smile any day.
What’s your favorite attribute in a man? (With his pants on, ladies. LOL)

A Funny Thing Happen on Our Way to the Falls
This past August, hubby and I visited Buttermilk Falls in the tiny town of Ludlow, Vermont. A charming village surrounded by throngs of mountains, babbling brooks and trees with robust color showcasing the last hoorah before the onset of winter.
Vermont holds a special place in our hearts—we honeymooned in Pittsfield. But more importantly, Vermont is a wonderful place to visit, where the air is clean and free of toxins, and the water is pure—so pure, you can see all the way to the bottom of the babbling brooks and the memories you create remain forever. The smell of wood burning stoves permeates the crisp air reminding you of its quaintness, family unity and neighbors who share camaraderie far beyond the norm.
This particular morning, the air was chilly, but we were prepared with warm coats. We’d allowed ourselves enough time to stop for breakfast and a visit to the Buttermilk Falls. On our way out of the restaurant, we picked up some homemade goodies. There’s something very therapeutic about purchasing homemade items when you’re on vacation. It’s a reminder of a wonderful vacation that extends far beyond the empty containers.
Excited to see what the locals all rave about, we pulled into the crowded parking lot and found a space. Since it had warmed up, we decided to remove our coats, and I handed Bob my purse to hide because I didn’t want to lug it around. Everything neatly tucked away, we’re on our jaunt back toward the path, but midway I’m having second thoughts about bringing my cellphone—the phone that’s in my purse hidden in a safe place. You never know when you’re going to need it. Right? But Bob thinks we need to hurry down the path, so I don’t say anything—that is until he goes to take a picture of me with his heavy dinosaur camera that won’t work because he’s forgotten to charge the batteries. Bob’s not into the cellphone pictures yet. Actually, I’m glad he’s forgotten to charge the batteries, because now I have an excuse to get my phone.
He hands me the keys and warns me to hurry or we won’t have time to see the Falls. I gallop back to the car and realize the back door is unlocked. Suddenly nervous about not locking the door, I put Bob’s camera on the floor and unconsciously lock the door promising not to tell Bob I’d forgotten to lock it, only I suddenly remember I wanted my phone. I click on the fob but the locks aren’t moving. I try it several times, but it’s not working. Bob sees me having trouble and comes back to the car.
“What’s wrong,” he says.
“The fob won’t work.”
He takes it from my hand and starts clicking, you know, just in case I didn’t click it the right way. You all know how that works, don’t you?
Well, it didn’t work for him either. I’m feeling slightly smug that he can’t get it to work either, but I decided it was in my best interest to keep the mouth shut. That is, until I suddenly realize our coats are missing. And if our coats are missing . . . that means so is my purse. Now, I’m beginning to panic. I can’t believe someone stole our stuff. I can’t believe they’ve ruined our vacation, I’m picturing us sitting in the police station filling out a report, and Bob and I both missing very important meetings the next day because we’ve missed our flight home. Flights are limited in that part of the woods. I mean, it’s a lovely place but it’s not like living in a Metropolitan area with everything close by. I was sure they had AAA, but with my phone in my purse that’s now been stolen, how was I going to call for help?
As I stood watching my husband continually press the remote, my anxiety escalated until it suddenly occurred to me that whoever stole our coats, has also stolen our purchased goodies because they weren’t on the backseat either, just the camera bag. Surprised because we hadn’t walked that far into the woods before I’d turned around to retrieve my phone, I couldn’t believe anyone from Vermont, our special place, could have stolen our treasures from our rental car, or that our last day of vacation had been sabotaged by some mean-spirited thief.
I began to pace back and forth the crunching of the gravel beneath my feet. Glancing at Bob I can see he’s frustrated and the noise I was making with my pacing wasn’t helping. I decided to give him a break and since I’m a mystery writer, I’m going to do my own investigating by checking each car in the lot to see if it was someone in the parking lot who’d pilfered our stuff while hubby fiddled with the key fob.
Fortunately, other than the parked cars, no one else was around to see me snooping in the windows. As I approached car after car, I finally found what I was looking for—the thief’s car. I shook my head in bafflement. What kind of schmuck would steal our stuff and leave it on the backseat in plain view. I called out to Bob who was several car lengths away and came rushing over. Bob leaned up against the window and shielded the light so he could see inside. Sure enough, it was our stuff.
My Jersey girl came out as I watched him peek and out of my mouth shot, “Can you believe someone would be so blatant as to leave the stolen goods right on the back seat?”
Bob took a couple of steps back and gave me an odd look. “Hon, didn’t you throw the wrapper from the cookie you had earlier on the floor?”
“Yeah,” I said. “I was waiting to throw it out in a trash can. Why?”
Bob pulled the fob from his pocket and clicked twice. All the locks popped simultaneously. Ha! So now, it suddenly occurs to us that I’ve locked our camera bag in someone else’s car—a car the same color, make and model as our rental car.
Neither one of us could stop laughing at our stupidity. Especially me, because I’d gotten myself so worked up thinking someone ruined our trip to Vermont. So we waited, and waited, and waited by the car that had our camera bag, that was now locked inside, whose owners were probably having a great time seeing the falls that I was not going to be seeing since our flight was in a few hours.
Ninety minutes later, the owners come strolling toward the car. Since I was the one to make the mistake, brave soul that I am, I approached the driver whose face was formed into a scowl wondering why I was standing by his car.
“Can I help you,” he said.
“Ah, yeah. Well . . . you’re not going to believe this, but . . . well, you see, we thought your car was our car, and well, your doors were unlocked, and we thought we forgot to lock our doors, so we put our camera bag in the back seat of your car and locked the doors.”
The three other passengers, one being his wife, are now laughing hysterically along with me, but the driver with the scornful expression on his face—nah, he wasn’t too happy. He immediately began to chastise his wife for not locking the doors, and reluctantly gave us the bag.
As Bob and I walked toward our car with our tails between our legs, we picked up our pace for the last bit to get into our car before we busted our guts laughing. Needless to say, this trip to Vermont will have many years of entertaining memories. Have I told you that I love Vermont?

Saturday is Sexy: Four hot movie cops. Mmmmmm….
Martin Riggs/Mel Gibson, Lethal Weapon Series. Martin Riggs is a fixer upper, but if you are into helping men heal, then you’ve found the right cop. Although most of the other officers think that Martin is at best crazy, and at worst suicidal, in reality he’s just hiding behind this facade to mask the pain of his wife’s death. The healing process is slow, but bit by bit, Riggs begins to drop his guard, and soon becomes a part of his partner Roger Murtaugh’s (Danny Glover’s) family. Martin continues to heal, and soon reenters the dating world, and calthough he is hurt several times, he eventually recovers enough to marry Internal Affairs Detective Lorna Cole (Rene Russo). Martin also has no problem expressing emotion, so if you do manage to heal his broken heart, you’ll always know how he feels about you. Plus, he’s cute. 80s Mel Gibson cute.
Nick Walker/Ryan Reynolds, R.I.P.D. If you’re the type that wants literally undying love, look no farther than Nick Walker; although since he’s played by Ryan Reynolds, you probably won’t want to look anywhere else. While Nick’s body is great (did I mention that he’s played by Ryan Reynolds?), his capacity for love really sets him apart. When Nick falls for you, he falls hard and will love you with all his heart and soul; even if it means betraying his own morals in a misguided attempt to give you a better life.
The sexiest thing about Nick, however, is his selflessness. Knowing that he and his wife can’t possibly be together (he’s a dead police officer and she is very much alive), he sets her free to find happiness, even if it is in the arms of another man.
Nathan Rhodes/Chris O’Dowd, Bridesmaids. He may not be eye candy, but looks aren’t everything. If you’re the type that goes for the “guy next door” then Nathan Rhodes is the one for you. Shyly charming, Nathan is an all around nice guy that any woman would be lucky to have. Just be warned; he won’t be in bed when you wake up the next morning-because he’s already in the kitchen making you breakfast. Nathan is supportive, and even if he sometimes goes a bit too far, he will always encourage you to follow your dreams. In addition to being funny, he’s also sensitive and will always tell you the truth-even if you don’t want to hear it.
Greg Jenko/Channing Tatum, 21 Jump Street. He’s dumb. He’s a jock. But he’s played by Channing Tatum. Channing Tatum. ’Nuff said.
