Synopsis: A historical romance of West Texas from the New York Times–bestselling author. Amelia Howard cherishes her desert country. The dazzling colors, white heat, and rough sensuality of west Texas stir her very soul. But there&’s a serpent in her paradise: King Culhane. A towering sunburned cowboy with silver eyes that miss nothing, he&’s a man she&’s come to despise—no matter how much she had worshiped him when she was younger. As her father pushes her to secure a marriage proposal from King&’s mild-mannered brother in order to marry into the Culhane dynasty, Amelia assumes the mask of a demure young lady, always correct and obedient. It&’s a posture that King holds in contempt. Yet when she reveals the true force of her feelings, she unleashes a smoldering passion that cannot be denied. And everything—propriety, filial duty, even love—will be scorched in the wake of such all-consuming desire.
