Lone Star- (Texas Empires #2)

the long version

The Lone Star State... It was as forthright and independent as the women who braved the rugged land, and sunset-haired Kate Calloway was as feisty an example of the breed as Cord had ever seen. A Texas woman. He had not dealt with one in a long time, but he recognized the gumption in her blue eyes. He would be a fool to question the threat behind the shotgun she leveled at his chest. He would be still more a fool to give in to the urge to take her soft body right there on the hard, dusty ground. For though he sensed that they were two halves of a whole, Kate belonged to the man he'd come to destroy. That they would meet again was certain; the only question was how long he could wait before making her his Texas Empires series: - Crown of Glory - Lonestar - Longhorn
