Texas Blaze (Large Print Edition): The Gallaghers of Sweetgrass Springs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942653639)

Stilettos and pencil skirts are more successful, ambitious Pen Gallagher's style than the jeans and boots of the ranch where she was raised. She's fought hard for her success and spared no time for love, certain that marriage and family are not her lot.

Now everything she's worked for is jeopardized as scandal brews around her after she fell for a man who prized his own ambitions more. Forced to flee D.C. before her identity is revealed and she can never regain the life she battled to build, she reluctantly returns to Sweetgrass Springs, Texas.

Sexy Navy SEAL turned firefighter Bridger Calhoun, on the other hand, visits Sweetgrass every chance he gets. After a recent tragic fire in which he nearly sacrificed his own life, he is ordered to take time off--and Sweetgrass calls to him. After a lifetime spent rootless and fueled by adrenaline, Bridger wants a quiet life, a home and family of his own with a sweet, soft woman as eager for children as he is.

Then a long­legged, sharp­tongued lawyer crosses his path--and flames ignite. While he's waiting to find Ms. Right and she's waiting for the coast to clear...what's the harm in a little fun? It's only temporary, both agree--they have nothing in common except the heat that blazes high between them, and their goals could not be more opposed. Soon the fire will burn down to embers, and they'll go on with their lives. Easy­peasy, right?

Riiiiiight....
