Shannon
Leigh
She’ll
bring him to his knees…
Preservationist Lila Gentry returns to
her small Texas hometown to restore the famous Chisholm Trail whorehouse where
her great-great-grandmother was a madam in the 1880s. On her agenda is winning
back Jake, the one that got away. But how do you rope a man who doesn't want to
be wrangled?
Jake lives by one creed: Keep it
simple. His ex showing up in town complicates his life and makes him think
about things he'd rather forget.
When Lila's restoration project is
threatened before it even begins, she turns to Jake for help. Working together
stirs up old feelings, but while Lila and Jake always sizzle between the
sheets—or wherever the moment takes them—it will involve some sweet-talking and
finesse to bring these two together.

Excerpt
“Jake. Sweetie.”
Her blue eyes shone with sharp-edged emotion. “I know you’re not stupid. You
may want uncompli- cated, but when has life ever served up that particular
dish? I for one have never had it easy. It’s always messy, in-your-face
complex. I gotta deal with it. So I suggest you learn to handle it, too.
Because I’m not going anywhere.”
Jake held his
breath until her hand dropped away. He let it out in a long push as she stepped
to the driver’s-side door and climbed inside.
It
dawned on him she planned to boil his blood and then leave him stranded in the
post office parking lot. Despite better judgment—not that he had ever possessed
such a thing—he shrugged and figured what the hell?”
