A peek behind the scenes with Natalie
Acres and on the set with the Cowboy Boots’ Operatives
Celebrating the Debut of Cowboy Boots and Inexpressible Longing
on Sale Now!
When I began
writing Cowboy Boots and Untamed Hearts,
I knew the majority of the Cowboy Boots books would be classified as ménage and
it made perfect sense to write the series as such since our heroes travel
together as one unit.
Using
vigilante-type tactics within a collective group, The Underground Unit is
funded by private resources. Team members have relinquished their normal lives
to serve and protect US citizens while fighting cartels and foreign threats. Ideally,
each Underground Unit member would be able to separate work and recreation, but
due to the nature of their dangerous careers, they’re often marked for dead as
soon as they begin their first assignment. As one might
imagine, it’s not easy to start a relationship when one’s home is a fortress, a
compound complete with underground tunnels and security measures to insure a
rapid escape should a terrorist come to call. The operatives must be willing
and able to walk away from their homes and lives without any regard for what
they will be required to leave behind. Relationships make for complications
unless intimate bonds are formed with individuals who understand what is
required of the Underground Unit and their significant others. The
Underground fellows are fiercely loyal to the women they love and several of
our heroines have strong family ties to some of the Unit’s original founding
members. Since these women are accustomed to the life, some of them have become
operatives. Others have simply embraced the adventure and danger because they
realize if they want to hold and love the men they adore, they must accept their
choices.
Our heroines,
for the most part, are very strong women. The exception would be Sydney in Cowboy Boots and Untamed Hearts.
Sydney grew up living beside the Donovan brothers, all of whom were groomed for
the Underground Unit. As the daughter of
one of the Unit’s founders, Sydney is under the Donovans’ protection and in
many ways they’ve always loved her. They’ve
also guarded her to a fault. While Sydney isn’t as strong as our other
heroines, she loves and supports her men unconditionally.
The women in Cowboy Boots and Unfinished Business,
Cowboy Boots and Unsettled Debts,
and Cowboy Boots and Unadulterated Pleasures
are operatives. They fight beside the fellows they love and their heroes work
overtime to insure their women never receive so much as a scratch on their
pretty little heads. A variety of businesses are used to help our operatives conceal their covers. Farm operations and casino properties are fronts for the Underground Unit. Now, with the forthcoming installment, Cowboy Boots and Inexpressible Longing, we’ll step inside the Unit’s Underground Clubs. The first club in the series is The Underground Club in Las Vegas, a BDSM lifestyle club managed by Drew Remington from Cowboy Boots and Unfinished Business.
As personalities vary so do our operatives’ interests in their significant others. After loving and losing a woman he once shared with his brothers, Drew Remington is hell bent on a traditional relationship, in part because he has secretly carried a torch for a woman he has known for most of his life, a sexy vixen he has no intention of sharing with his unit or anyone else.
While writing Drew’s story, I spotted a number of opportunities for the Cowboy Boots series, particularly since a new group of operatives will soon emerge and receive their first assignments. Some of these men will work in teams while others will report to duty in major cities with the perfect covers as Underground Club owners.
The Cowboy Boots books with multiple partners/ménage situations are quickly spotted due to the number of male bodies on the cover. Additionally, readers can easily determine which books are multiple partner stories by looking for the prefix ‘Un’ in the second part of the title. The upcoming M/F romantic thrillers have the prefix “In” in the second part of the title. The M/F installments will have “The Underground Clubs” splashed across the top left. All Cowboy Boots books contain BDSM elements.
Below, you’ll find a preview of Cowboy Boots and Inexpressible Longing, coming to Siren-Bookstrand on June 3rd. I hope you’ll join us for the Cowboy Boots journey. These operatives are gearing up to deliver one adventure after another!

Cowboy Boots, Book Five, Part One in
The Underground Clubs
Written by Natalie Acres
Coming to Siren-Bookstrand on June 3, 2013
His pain
is far greater than his need for love
Master
Drew Remington knows pain. He understands its fury.
He
has walked through its unrelenting terror and remembers the torment in his
brother’s eyes as he lay dying in front of him.
His affliction is too vast
to overcome
Oh
yes, Master Drew knows heartache. He watched as his father was gunned down by a
hired assassin and understands what it’s like to feel helpless, utterly
consumed by a harrowing tragedy that left his family in ruins.
Only one woman can heal his soul and
mend his wounded heart
A
former lover, Suzy Matthews, reenters Master Drew’s life. Suzy is determined to
win her Master’s heart, but as she plans to embrace the love she and Master
Drew share, an emerging war finally erupts. Soon, Suzy is used as a pawn in a
very dangerous game set to unfold between old enemies looking to settle one
final score.
Story Excerpt:
“He’s
got her,” Drew said.
“No
shit.” Crue’s voice filled his ears. “Gabe and I have clear shots in the guest room.
We can take out all but one of his men. Esparza’s son is standing at his twelve
o’clock.”
“Don’t
take those shots,” Drew whispered, easing closer to Esparza and Suzy. He
couldn’t risk a complication. Suzy’s life was on the line.
“Damn
it, Drew. If we don’t take them out, you won’t stand a chance when they
scatter,” Gabe snapped.
“Then
I won’t stand a chance.” He tucked his weapon at his waist and walked down the
hallway with his hands in the air. This was like déjà vu, only worse. Suzy was
on the floor. Esparza’s gun was aimed at her head. Damn if he didn’t know how
that felt. He’d been there. He’d done that.
Damn
man must’ve liked reliving moments in life. As Drew locked gazes with Esparza,
he reminded himself of where he’d been, what heartache he’d suffered, all at
the hands of a monster.
This
damn devil had been at the root of all his problems. He’d taken away the heart
and soul of his family. He’d killed his father and slaughtered his brother.
Now, he had his woman!
He’d
be damned if he’d let him take one more person he cared about. And he wasn’t
about to lose his life to Esparza so another one of his brothers would face off
with him in the future.
It
was time to end this. The moment had come. It was time to send a devil back to
hell.
“What
have we here?” Esparza cocked the gun.
“You’ll
never get away with this,” Drew told him, glancing at Suzy. “We have the place
surrounded.”
“Really?”
Esparza threw his head back and laughed. “My property is twenty-five acres and
your team—your team of six or seven men—has my place surrounded?”
“Your
surveillance must’ve failed you somewhere, Esparza. We’ve pulled divisions from
across the country.” Drew crept forward as he spoke. “I don’t foresee any way
out of this for you.”
Esparza
sneered. “I don’t see any positive outcome for your girl. Do you?”
Drew
flinched. “I still can’t figure out why you have her. She’s been in town for
two days and you think there’s some sort of lasting connection between us?”
Suzy
shot him a quick glance. He wanted to run to her as soon as he implied she
wasn’t important to him. He wanted to wrap his arms around her and reassure
her.
Again,
Esparza tossed his head back. “You’re living in Vegas now. Haven’t you learned
the laws of the land, yet? You can bluff a skilled player, a player who cares
about the end result more than the temporary win. But you cannot—or at least
you shouldn’t—bluff a true gambler. These individuals will go all-in without
considering the risks.”
“Let
her go,” Drew said, still holding his hands high. Manny was behind him now.
Drew had worked with him long enough to feel him like a second skin. Scott was
positioned at the other end of the hall. There was a little red dot on the side
of Esparza’s head.
“Do
you remember the time we spent together in Virginia, Drew?” Esparza grinned.
“Of course you do. I’m the reason behind that drive you have now. When you rise
every morning, I’m the only excuse you have to get out of bed. I’m your
inspiration when you pound the pavement for four or five miles every day, and
I’m—me, Drew, and no one else—the very reason you’ll never know a peaceful rest
when you lay down at night and go to sleep.”
“You’re
fucking insane.”
“And
I speak the truth,” Esparza said. “We share a history that can never been
separated. Don’t you feel it, Drew? I do. We’re linked together by what I now
consider a very beautiful past, one wrought with murder and deceit, fraud and
manipulation. Death surrounds us. Your father took away my family. I’ve slowly
killed off yours. We meet, separate, and reunite again. We are so much a part
of one another’s lives now that we’re almost family.”
Esparza
yanked Suzy’s head back. “When families play together, darling, they stay
together. You understand that. Don’t you?”

Drew
removed the vibrator and rose over her like a force to be reckoned with, a
powerful surge behind a bolt of electricity. His broad shoulders, cut pecs, and
muscular arms and legs were only part of the package. Drew Remington was indeed
a beautiful man. He had features so dark they were haunting, a symbol of trouble.
That’s what he represented. Danger and seduction, sex. Oh God yes, how much he
resembled the epitome of sex.
Even
the disturbing shadows circling his brown eyes were enticing. They were part of
what made the man intriguing, yet explained why he was so distant and reserved.
His
fingers plunged inside her pussy and her hips shot off the bed. “Master Drew,
please.”
He
smacked her bare mound and a gush of racing heat blasted through her channel.
She slapped her hands against the mattress and used her heels to pump closer to
those prying fingers, that manual stimulation now driving her wild.
Her
head tilted forward and back as he fucked her with probing digits. His mouth
fell open and his eyes grew heavy.
Reaching
for him, she pumped his cock, suddenly aware of the fact that he’d already
suited up to play, already slipped the condom on when she’d apparently been too
involved in the pleasure to notice.
“You
will do what I tell you to do while you’re here,” he said, leaving one finger
right inside her cunt as if to show her how well he could give, how easily he
could take away. “Tell me you understand.”
“Yes.
I understand, Master Drew.”
He
shoved three fingers inside her, rotating them in a scooping-like fashion. “And
you’ll stay out of trouble, sub. Do you understand?”
“Yes,
Sir,” she replied, her pussy now an inferno as he continued to stir her juices,
work with her arousal. “I understand perfectly.”
Bending
over her body, he flicked her clit and she came apart. His head bobbed up and
down as he sipped at the hardened bud, licked at her pussy lips and rigorously
fingered her.
Coming
to his knees, Drew reached behind him and released her legs. “I want to feel
those shapely thighs squeezing me, sub.”
Without
another word, he slammed into her with one even thrust. Planting his hands on
either side of her head, he worked his hips back and forth, moving them from
side to side as he screwed her.
“Now
say it,” he rasped, dragging his lips across hers.
Her
nipples throbbed. Her pussy wept. It was all she could do to keep from wrapping
her arms around him while screaming out his name, chanting about her
everlasting love and undying devotion.
“Say
what?”
Surely
he didn’t want her to tell him again. Had Drew really changed that much while
they’d been apart? Did he need her now when he hadn’t needed her in the past?
Was he ready for more than he’d given her before?
He
pushed the weight of his cock high inside her quivering cunt. “Tell me.” His
lips assaulted hers as his cock strummed inside her. “Now, sub. Fucking tell me
now!”
As
she started to profess her love all over again, her release rolled forward. Her
pussy vibrated with the warning and she tried to resist, fought to hold back
until her Master gave her permission.
“Damn
you! I need to hear you tell me you love me again. Tell me you love me as much
as I’ve always loved you!”
There
was no stopping her then. She came apart in his arms, screaming his name,
crying out for more, and yes, oh God yes. She told him she loved him over and
over again.
Suzy
would love him until the day she died.

“4.5 STARS: "Cowboy Boots and Untamed Hearts is ménage to a degree not normally seen. The sex scenes of BDSM are not for the faint of heart but they are all consensual. The intricate nuances of relationships play out against a backdrop of danger that adds even more spice to this red hot offering... AlexJouJou, Manic Readers
“If you like cowboys, horses, men and sex that pushes the envelope, you're in for a helluva ride with Cowboy Boots & Untamed Hearts!" -- Rie McGaha, Rie's Reviews
“Very seldom will you find an erotic romance with such a deep and pain-filled thread running throughout. Kelsie’s cancer touches all of the characters in this story, and you get a close and intimate look at how it tears at the heart and soul of these five men, as well as the newcomer, Veronica. The pain and suffering is not sugar-coated at all but then neither is the heat and passion they all share…" -- Lototy,Coffee Time Romance & More
