This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales
is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.
Warning:
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been
rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.
Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (Erotic), and X (X-treme).
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall
word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find
objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated
titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as
“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,
stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Chapter One
The house Katelyn Carter had bought sight unseen was kind of like her—weathered
by storms and in need of a lot of TLC.
After a quick glance around the empty road, she set her truck into park and stared.
She let her eyes blur and tried to imagine how the old house must have looked once
upon a time before the harsh South Texas sun baked its exterior. She wasn’t
encouraged. Even seen from behind her dirty windshield, she could tell the one-story
ranch needed a lot of work, and at the very least, a fresh coat of paint.
A lone tear streaked down her face, surprising her, and she sniffed. One last cry—
she deserved that much. Then no more feeling sorry for herself. She had too much to do
and a whole new life stretching in front of her.
A loud honk sounded and Katelyn swung her gaze to her rearview mirror to find
that a dusty, older model pickup truck had pulled up behind her. She swiped away the
tears with the back of her hand, and then stuck her arm out the window to wave the
driver past.
Instead, the driver-side door opened and a tall Texan in faded jeans and a creamcolored cowboy hat stepped onto the pavement.
Katelyn cursed under her breath and quickly tilted down the mirror to see whether
her mascara had smeared. She didn’t really care what a stranger thought—that was the
old Katelyn. Still, some habits died hard.
When boot steps stopped beside her, she glanced up…and found herself trapped
within a moss green gaze that raised the temperature within her cab a notch. The rest of
him was just as captivating. Dark brown hair peeked from beneath his hat. His jaw was
angular, his chin chiseled. Shallow crow’s feet surrounded those amazing eyes and
