Calla Rose returned home to McKenna Springs to help save her
family's business... The Yellow Rose... a ninety-year old Texas dance hall. She
also came home to heal. Being a victim and finding her trust level in men
damaged, she is determined to succeed in this one thing for her family and
nothing is going to deter her from doing just that. Now even a green-eyed
cowboy/mayor with heart-stopping smiles and kisses that threaten to thaw the
ice around her heart.
Ty Conners wasn't looking for love. He had simply stopped in
to welcome the latest business owner to town. But coming face to face with
Calla Rose would prove an unforgettable experience in more ways than one and
send his heart into a tailspin. Never a man to not face a challenge head-on, he
prepared to get past the barricades she had erected between herself and the
male population. But it was easier said than done, and just when he's within
reach of her heart, a lie brings memories of pain and distrust and Calla's
heart may be out of his reach for good.
Read an Excerpt:
“Don’t feel too bad… you weren’t the first to fall for my
husband’s patent lines. Although, I must say you’re a cut above his usual
conquests.” Lauren stood in the doorway. Switching on the light switch next to
her, she moved into the room. Barclay had gone white as a sheet beneath his
perpetual salon tan.
“And don’t worry dear,” she spoke as she looked at her
husband with a cold smile on her features. “I just ordered a wonderful gift
from Tiffany’s from you to me… to begin to make amends for this latest little
transgression.”
“It wasn’t a transgression,” he spoke, finding his voice.
“We never even had sex.”
“Really?” A fine eyebrow rose as the cold eyes landed on
Calla. “Smart woman… keeping him on the hook until you got what you wanted. But
I think we all know that your services to this firm won’t be needed in the
future. I’m certain my father-in-law will back me up on that.”
Calla’s anger had stiffened her resolve and she had had
enough of the whole sordid scene. Rising from her chair, she looked at the pair
and slowly shook her head. “I can say that I’m the lucky one in this room right
now. I managed to sidestep making the worst mistake of my life. No two people could be more suited to each
other than the pair of you. And while this is still my office, you can both get
out.”
About the Author:
Born and raised in the Lone Star state of Texas, Debra grew
up among horses, cowboys, wide open spaces, and real Texas Rangers. Pride in her state and ancestry knows no
bounds and it is these heroes and heroines she loves to write about the
most. She also draws upon a variety of
life experiences including working with abused children, caring for baby
animals at a major zoo, and planning high-end weddings (ah, romance!).
When she isn’t busy writing about tall Texans and feisty
heroines, she can be found cheering on her Texas Tech Red Raiders, or heading
off on another cruise adventure. She
read her first romance...Janet Dailey's Fiesta San Antonio, over thirty years
ago and became hooked on the genre. Writing contemporary romances, is both her
passion and dream come true, and she hopes her books will bring smiles...and
sighs...to all who believe in happily-ever-after’s.
