Hot In Texas - Cowboys of the Double R, #2

She was happiness. And cleansing. And this was love. The kind that made his chest ache, his heart pound. A craving never quite satisfied until he'd tasted it again. Wrong or right, how they'd found one another, Aletta was the best part of breathing. Tyson Pyke emerged from prison a free man. But freedom, he discovered, is hard to maintain. No one wants to hire a cowboy with a felony record. Left destitute, his meals few and far between, he'll throw himself on the kindness of an old prison buddy who seems to have gotten his life together, Jared Flint at the Double R Ranh. Aletta Gordon ran from home when she was eighteen, eager to be out from under her mom's thumb.
Years of travel and a string of small-time jobs brought her to Texas, where the weather and the cowboys are a whole lot hotter than her home state of Vermont. The rash decision to pick up a stranger after work late one night proves to be life-changing. In spite of his spotted past, Tyson is the perfect man to fill her heart. Yet, the unforeseen consequence of their actions and the antagonism of a young cowboy hurtle them toward an uncertain ending.
Unless they turn loose of their fears and take hold of God. Book 2 of 5 in the COWBOYS OF THE DOUBLE R series by author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS.
