An untamable bachelor meets his match in this contemporary Western romance from the USA Today–bestselling author. After a shocking betrayal, Dan Crenshaw left behind his corporate empire to live a solitary life in the Gulf of Mexico.

But his seclusion is shattered by the arrival of Shannon Doyle, his kid sister's friend. Refusing to be broken by a bad relationship, Shannon has decided to follow her heart-and go after the man she's dreamed of since her teens. Soon, the vulnerable beauty is infiltrating Dan's lone existence with caring smiles and home-cooked meals. But Dan has sworn off becoming a family man. And though he dreams of taking Shannon to the depths of passion, his honor wouldn't allow him to take her innocence . . . unless he slipped a ring on her finger. . . .

NO OTHER MAN'S… She'd been called Jake Crenshaw's "shadow," the tomboy who'd tagged after her hero for years till the night she'd tried to prove to him that she was a woman…and had been rejected.

This time Ashley would see that Jake lost his white-knight complex…and that she lost her virginity to this man.

Busted! And in only boxer briefs in the bed of a senator's daughter! Despite no memory of their night together, Jared Crenshaw knew that nothing had happened.

Still, there was the appearance of a Texas-size scandal…. So, Jared married Lindsey to do right by her. And their first time in the marriage bed confirmed what Jared suspected: he'd never been with this woman because she'd never been with any man. Clearly, he'd been set up, albeit sweetly so. Now, it was simply a matter of figuring out who…and why.
