Unleashed

From the moment the elegantly dressed society woman walked into the bar on the wrong side of town, rugged Texan Donavan Langley knew she was trouble. But the lovely Fay York awoke a tenderness in him that he'd never known... and a desire that couldn't be denied.

The electrifying instant Fay gazed into a pair of glittering silver eyes, she lost her heart forever. But how to convince the wary rancher that she was an innocent rose... and ready to blossom for him? The rough–and–tumble cowboy was determined to keep his distance. Until he made her a proposal that she couldn't refuse...

Single dad Emmett Deverell thought moving to Jacobsville, Texas, would mean quality time with his children. Then he realized the truth –his kids were uncontrollable! He knew the three little rapscallions needed a woman's influence. But the only female available was Melody Cartman...and Emmett trusted her about as far as he could throw her.

Melody's new charges were a force to be reckoned with. But it was their father who proved a handful. That sexy wink of his was enough to send a woman into orbit. She knew Emmett would never forgive her past, which was definitely a problem. Because being part of Emmett's family was a habit Melody didn't want to break.

But eight years later, an undercover operation brought them back together again. This cynical Long, Tall Texan couldn't believe the baby-faced schoolgirl was now an understated beauty who electrified his senses and his heart. Or that she'd help him crack the drug-smuggling case that threatened all of Jacobsville.

Tantalized to the core, Alexander would risk everything to possess--and protect--the untouched young woman. This fearless secret agent always got his man--or in this case, woman. But this time, would the man in control get caught in his own web of danger...and desire?
