I dedicate this book to Fearless Leader because she is
my favorite tyrant. And to her lovely daughter, the
Mistress of Mischief—THE Jeanie Out of the Bottle,
she inspires me to be all Hot & Bothered.

Tex Westley watched covertly as Alexandria
walked through the library, making sure everyone had
left before closing. It was easy to avoid her otherwise
eagle eye since she took the same route every night.
The sexy little librarian walked down the aisles
ensuring all was right and tight, beginning in the
nonfiction section then working her way slowly to the
children’s department in the back. He hid in the
romance section, making sure to pull out all the books
she had checked out over and over again back when
they were in high school ten years ago. He then snuck
back to the section she had already checked and
waited. He had about fifteen minutes to go before she
would do her final sweep and turn down the lights.
Then she would settle in her tiny office to do her own
writing for at least two hours before heading home.
He wondered if anyone in Lauréa knew that
sweet little ole Alexandria Lourdes was actually Siren
Cox, erotic author extraordinaire. Her conservative
parents would probably pass out if they knew. Tex had
known the first time he’d picked up a book in a
bookstore all the way in Montana, where he had
moved after high school. His father had seven boys,
and being the youngest, he hadn’t seen much point in
sticking around the tiny ranch where he wasn't
needed. So he’d struck out on his own, hoping to save
up a little money to buy his own land one day. It had
killed him to leave Lauréa; he loved everything about
the picturesque Texas town. The people were
neighborly, and there was no real crime to speak of
besides the occasional drag racing or drunk and

family.
Five of his older brothers had moved away a few
years after he did, leaving the place to be run alone by
his dad and his eldest brother. When Dad had suffered
a heart attack earlier in the year, Cam, his eldest
brother, had begged him to come back and help him
with the place. All of his other brothers couldn’t come
for one reason or another, and Tex had been no closer
to realizing his dream, so he’d come home.
Surprisingly, Dad and Cam had managed to buy more
land and expand the place quite a bit, making it more
profitable than it had ever been when Tex was a kid.
Cam had even signed over half the ranch to Tex,
making sure he stayed right here, which was just fine
and dandy with him. He’d never really wanted to
