So, without further ado.... From the backcover of TEXAS WIDE OPEN:
“A tortured
hero, a love that defies distance and time…this is a book you won’t soon
forget.” –Cat Johnson
Katie Harris
loved growing up on a ranch. She had her horse, the beautiful Texas prairie,
and Cole Logan, the cowboy next door. But there are a lot of secrets hidden
under a Texas sky…
Katie always knew she’d marry Cole one
day—until he broke her dreams and her heart. But now that Katie’s father is
sick, she’s back home, older, wiser and nowhere near the love-sick fool she
once was.
Cole knows Katie doesn’t want anything to
do with him. But after so many years, he can’t pretend she’s no more than a
neighbor. Holding his ground was hard enough when she was seventeen. Now that
she’s her own woman, Cole’s heart doesn’t stand a chance…
“Passionate, gritty and fast paced…with
a hot blooded, honorable hero to make every woman's knees go weak.”—Diane
Whiteside

Excerpt:****
Katie watched as Cole slowly turned, and at the sight of his
bare chest, smooth and ripped with muscle, she locked her knees to keep
upright. Instead of his inviting smile, there was a hardness she rarely saw
that contrasted with the desire in his eyes.
Cole stood and stared. The silence between them crackled as
if a whole conversation could be said without words.
Her breathing quickened as her nipples contracted into small,
tight buds, sensitive to the brush of the cotton across them. She refused to
hide her body’s reaction even as a flush of heat rushed to her cheeks. She’d
been waiting all of her life for this moment. She was tired of hiding. She was
ready. Unashamed, she gazed in his eyes and let the wealth of her feelings pour
into her face.
Cole was no coward—he returned stare for stare—but she could
see his jaw flex and knew he was pissed. She’d pushed him hard, but this was
where the women separated themselves from the girls.
“I’m not a child any longer.” She took a step closer.
“And I told you, if you wear that shirt again, I’ll burn
it,” he growled.
But Cole would have to do more than display a little anger
to scare her. Before she lost courage, Katie crossed her arms and pulled.
She threw her shirt in his face, along with her challenge.
“Go ahead and do it.”
