Play Is It True with today’s guest Kristina Knight, author
of The Billionaire Cowboys Trilogy, a Contemporary Romance. This is a game in
which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as
much (or as little) as they choose.First, tell us about
your book.Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RThe Billionaire Cowboys trilogy by best-selling author
Kristina Knight kicks off with a seductive story of long-simmering feelings and
hot Vegas nights.What the Bachelor
GetsWhen Vegas Nightly names local property developer Gage
Reeves as its sexiest bachelor, he’s barraged with a stream of showgirls, local
socialites, and entertainers who all expect something from him. But all Gage
wants is to make a success of his new luxury shopping development.Enter Callie Holliday. Callie dreams of having the hottest
day spa in Vegas, but she’s saddled with a bad location and an account balance
full of zeroes. When she walks into a last-chance meeting with an angel
investor and finds herself face to face with Gage, the childhood friend on whom
she had a huge crush, she’s not sure his reputation is the right match for her
business. But then he offers her a storefront in his new high-end retail
complex, and she has to admit it’s a thoroughly tempting proposition. But
feelings she thought were long buried threaten to turn their deal from strictly
professional to decidedly personal.It’s risky business gambling on love.What the Heiress
WantsDenver publishing heiress Miranda Clayton craves more from
life than society parties and shopping sprees, but her tycoon father refuses to
take her seriously. Her solution? Beat him at his own game by going to work for
his top competitor, Connor Reeves, in Las Vegas.Connor isn’t fooled by Miranda’s new plan for a second. He
knows exactly who she is; what he doesn’t know is why she’s pulling him into
her games. After their first meeting, Connor knows what he wants – Miranda in
his bed! But the more he’s around his new vice president, the more he wants
something deeper than a short-term fling. The question is does the lady want
Connor – or his business?What the Gambler
RisksTwenty-something ice queen Sabrina Smith enjoys the fame and
fortune she’s found writing self-help books for a largely female audience. Her
readers hang on every word of how the Vegas Virgin – an unflattering and
inaccurate moniker given to her by a local shock jock – juggles dating,
working, and friendships in Sin City.And that’s why Jase Reeves spells trouble.Jase knows Sabrina’s secret – that she’s not nearly as cold
as she would like people to think – and he’s through keeping it. He didn’t
intend to have a one-night stand with the Vegas Virgin, but now he can’t get
her out of his head. And he can’t keep living this lie.With Jase back at the tables in Vegas, Sabrina has one goal:
stay away from the handsome gambler before he melts her career – and her heart.Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to

Why did you write

have someone to love.What is your favorite
genre to read?Small town romance with a touch of humor.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?That would have to be Davie Dempsey from Jennifer Crusie’s

on at the moment?I’m working on a western romance set in Greenleaf, Idaho
about a Barrel Racer and a Saddle Bronc Rider. It’s a second chance romance
with the working title, Mavis and Butthead. LOLWhat books will we see
from you in coming months?Well, Mavis’ book by the first of June and later this fall,
the sequel to Radio Rose.Please tell us about
