If they don't, just let me go to Texas, boy! Texas is as close as I've been. For Mae Nunn, that old country song really sums up the way she feels about her home state of Texas. She grew up in Houston, attended Kilgore College, where she was a member of the famed Kilgore Rangerettes, and then completed her communications degree at the University of Texas in Austin. She was content to spend her life in the Lone Star State. But God had other plans. In 1989, Mae met a transplanted Englishman living in Atlanta and she hung up her spurs to become a Southern belle. Today she and her husband make their home with their two children (a daughter, 17, and a son, 27) on a plantation in Georgia. Okay, maybe it's not a plantation, but it's a lot of yard to mow! Mae has been with a major air express company for 25 years, currently serving as a regional customer service manager. She began writing four years ago with a laptop on her bathroom vanity counter. When her husband realized Mae's obsession to be published wasn't going to pass, he built her a computer workstation in a guest room closet. A move from the bathroom to a closet might not seem like much of an improvement, but it was just what she needed to finish her first manuscript and get it submitted. Mae had one rule-not to write anything that would offend her mother or her daughter. Once again God interceded because He wanted Mae's stories to be pleasing in His sight. So she withdrew a secular line submission, rewrote it for the inspirational market and promptly sold the work to the Love Inspired series. When asked how she felt about being part of the Steeple Hill family, Mae summed up her response with one word, Yeeeee-haw!","bio_short":"","image":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0061757/x145.jpg","on_tour":false,"featured":false,"deceased":false,"sensitivity":"0","locale":"","custom":{"algoliaKey":"a53424c1811902dfcdc68db9e3161b48-0","export_hash":"639a6454ddce5d1a3cb9dc43aff28d7f7d94d87a9fd083e8ce0f44e37394be1a"},"events":null,"awards":null,"assets":[{"id":"168505-101973","asset_id":"101973","asset":{"id":"168505","unique":"3cff8195cf1c1ee34eb227c3a2af8510","name":"mae-nunn-author-website","description":null,"type":"link-url","sub_type":"author-website","order":"1","size":"0","height":"0","width":"0","embed":null,"path":"http://www.maenunn.com/","source":"Import Author Details Script","schedule":"2021-09-21 01:01:39"}},{"id":"215111-101973","asset_id":"101973","asset":{"id":"215111","unique":"x500-mae-nunn-Contributors","name":"mae-nunn-author-photo","description":null,"type":"image","sub_type":"author-photo","order":"1","size":"500","height":null,"width":"500","embed":null,"path":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0061757/x145.jpg","source":"new-image-import","schedule":"2025-04-13 00:00:00"}}],"books":[{"description":"

It had to be a mistake. Tara Elliott's grandmother had bequeathed the family office building to Tara–jointly? Her co–manager was Sam Kennesaw, the abrasive but still–handsome man who'd broken Tara's tender teenage heart nine years before.

The will stated they needed to make business decisions together. At first the two couldn't agree on anything, but as the building's opening day drew near, the caring, generous man who'd stolen Tara's heart began to emerge. But Tara still couldn't believe she'd thought God meant for them to be together. It would take divine help to get them past a decade of pent–up bitterness.and into each other's arms.

He's willing to risk it all…is she?

Stella Jane Scout has never met a cowboy as handsome as Joiner Temple. Or as aggravating. His thoroughbred Argentinian stallion and professional polo player pedigree doesn't impress her one bit. At heart, he's still a footloose cowboy from Kilgore and a reckless one at that. But her father hired him as a ranch hand for her riding school, so she'll have to reign in Joiner's wild streak and teach him to put safety first. At the same time, Joiner seems determined to bring out Stella's long-buried free spirit. If she can give him a place to call home, maybe he can teach her how to live.

She's everything he didn't want…and exactly what he needs 

McCarthy Temple, the last unmarried Temple brother, was happy with his safe, predictable world. He had his family, his accounting business and his numbers. He didn't need love. He already had it all…except an assistant. Jacqueline Aimes was the least likely candidate. She was overqualified, gorgeous and only staying in Kilgore long enough to sell her parents' land. 

But as Jacqueline starts to permeate every aspect of his life, Mac finds it harder and harder to imagine life without her. Jacqueline's passion is her work for children in international war zones, though, not small-town living. So Mac has to find a Texas-size miracle to get her to stay…
