cowboy--and closely guarded. Following his stepmother's

to fight her at every turn. But the long-legged beauty soon
got under the Texan's skin in more ways than he cared to admit. Now
Jake had to decide whether he was ready to let Chloe into his heart--and
help him build the family he'd always wanted...

CALL ME COWBOY, March 2006
Silhouette Special Edition #1743
ISBN: 0-373-24743-5
T. J. "Cowboy" Whittaker wasn't looking to be anyone's
hero, but when vulnerable Priscilla Richards turned her tear-filled
blue eyes on him and asked, "Can you help me uncover the secrets
in my past?"...well, how could the sexy P.I. say no?
His job was simple: escort the sheltered city girl to Texas to
meet the mom she'd never known, then hightail it out of there as
fast as his boots could carry him. Temptation wasn't on the agenda
— especially with a prim New Yorker who most definitely was
not his type. But Prissy made him hotter than Dallas in July...and
made him want things he'd given up on long ago....
