The Hard-To-Tame Texan

By Lass Small

THE KEEPERS OF TEXAS

BEAUTY'S BEASTLY CHALLENGE

She thought she'd been invited to the Keepers' Texas ranch to do her family a favour, but feisty redhead JoAnn Murray was beginning to sense a fix–up. Was she really there to tame cantankerous Andrew Parsons or to be asked to throw caution to the wind and marry the arrogant beast?

No little lady was gonna make him change his ways! Or so Andrew thought until he got a look at the beguiling beauty those blasted Keepers had sicked on him. With one pout of her pretty lips, Andrew's gruffness disappeared, replaced by a grim determination to make JoAnn see him as something other than a challenge and perhaps a potential groom?

THE KEEPERS OF TEXAS: Every book's a keeper in this sexy saga of untameable Texas men and the stubborn beauties who lasso their hearts.
