Brit's Bear

I'm currently editing my latest story, getting it ready to submit to a publisher.

Brit is a spoiled, rich, city girl who meets three bears. Bear #1 scares the shit out of her. She meets Bear #2 when she's  just a little bit angry and she tries to scare him - fat chance! Bear #3 is the most gorgeous cowboy she could ever imagine but they are so different in their beliefs. She's a modern, free spirit who has embraced sexual freedom with a vengeance and he isn't.
Throw in a petty criminal seeking revenge and a control freak daddy who won't let go.
How is she going to ever sort this all out and not end up back at home in Toronto?
An excerpt -

     Her angry cry died in a little squeak as a huge black horse appeared right beside her. Before she could dive to the side, away from the large, threatening body and long, galloping legs a strong arm grabbed her waist and lifted her into the air.
     Arms and legs pin-wheeling, Brit dropped her sleeping bag and scrambled to grab onto something, anything. She caught a handful of long, coarse, black hair as her back slammed into a hard chest. The arm holding her tightened like a vice, cutting off most of her air.
     The forward momentum of the horse pressed her back against the man and then slammed her forward almost onto the neck of the plunging animal as it came to a sudden, sliding, stop. The huge black head pulled back within inches of her face, gravel and dirt flying out in front of them in a cloud of dust and rattling stones.
