He wasn't looking for trouble . . . But when the cops are knocking on your door, trouble's definitely found you. And this is where Wil Marshall finds himself after checking in to the Longhorn Inn. It could all be a big mistake, but Wil's not getting much sleep. Then the motel owner—who is drop dead gorgeous and feisty to boot—saves him from an even worse night behind bars. Now he owes her one, big time . . .
Pearl never wanted that run-down motel, but her aunt didn't leave her much choice. And then this steaming hot cowboy shows up looking for a place to rest. Next thing she knows, she wants to offer him more than just room service. But if he calls her Red one more time, he won't be the only one accused of murder . . .
Sparks are definitely flying and before long, the Do Not Disturb sign might be swinging from the door . . .

"Had an easier time getting through the book despite the writer's style - which was slightly improved from the beginning. I didn't like this one nearly as much as I liked the first one, but I love Wil so it made up for the parts I didn't like."

— Romantic Times" I usually don't like romance novels because I find them silly and formulaic. This was no exception. Why did I read it? I got it for free and the back cover seemed to imply there was a murder mystery. There was no murder mystery at all. I guess I just need books with a body count. "
— Dawn, 2/5/2014" Honk if you love Blake Shelton! It's a very clean, very PG-13 romance! The motel is a real character. The book stands out from other Cowboy romances. "
