Too wicked to love

the long version

Author Rita Clay Estrada returns to Texas-this time the up-and-coming town of Clearwater-where two second-class citizens are about to discover a first-class love... The lowborn son of an English Earl, Benjamin Drake is exceedingly handsome, with a smile to melt glaciers-everything his twin brother Anthony is...except rich. Denied a heritage and a legacy, he's come to Clear Creek, Texas to inform his brother that their father is dead and he must return to England as heir. And it doesn't take long to find Anthony...in the midst of seducing a very lovely shopkeeper named Sarah Hornsby... Recently widowed Sarah is unlike any woman Ben has ever known. Her unassuming manner hides an intriguing independent streak revealed in her struggles to succeed on her own terms. Recognizing a kindred spirit, Ben stays in town to make his fortune-and win Sarah's love. But now that his heart is at stake, the once devil-may-care twin is keenly aware of how much he has to lose. Vowing to keep his intentions secret until he deems himself worthy of her affections, Ben fails to realize that Sarah's heart is his for the asking-and that he's wasting precious time by delaying his claim...
