Content Advisory:

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-
rotic), and X (X-treme).
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been
rated E–rotic.
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall
word count. E-rated titles might contain material that some readers find objectionable—in other words,
almost anything goes, sexually. E-rated titles are the most graphic titles we carry in terms of both sexual
language and descriptiveness in these works of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Stories designated
with the letter X tend to contain difficult or controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Riding Ranger
Chapter One
She didn’t twitch or so much as bat an eye as the deep bong of the grandfather clock
in the library alerted her to the lateness of the hour. Had there be anyone present in the
dark room she might have appeared to be nothing more than another of the many
works of art scattered throughout the penthouse. Standing motionless in front of the
window, she peered through the eyepiece of the telescope, her attention completely
focused on the view afforded her by the ocular device.
The man had no idea he was being watched. Sitting on a deck chair on the small
balcony, his feet propped on the iron railing, his attention was on the small leather-
covered book in his hand.
She admired him from her lofty perch. Despite his continued efforts to brush his
dark brown hair back from his strong forehead, it persisted to fall forward toward thick
elegant eyebrows and piercing near-black eyes. His was a face of strength. Not
handsome in the classic sense, he had a vaguely hawkish appearance. There was
definitely something of the predator in his eyes. Something that excited her.
He opened the book and settled back in his seat. The change in position drew her
attention to the long lean lines of his shirtless torso and bare arms. It was clear that he
took care of his body. She knew that came from the physical activity he devoted himself
to. He was an avid swimmer, runner and biker, played an aggressive game of handball,
and enjoyed occasional games of weekend rugby.
She smiled as she considered his chagrin at discovering how much she knew about
him. From her observations of him it was clear that now he realized he was being
investigated and researched every bit as much as he was investigating and researching
the new professional obsession in his life—namely her.
