    The Heart of Texas Series

    About this series

    Surviving is only the first step.

    Javier Alde thought he had his life all figured out. He moved back to the city of his birth, found a great job and rebuilt some friendships...if only his love life followed suit.

    None of that matters anymore when he's abducted and imprisoned for several months. Upon his escape, he finds that surviving is only the first step.

    Malaki Taupo is slowly putting down roots in Dallas after working for several years as a traveling physical therapist when he finds out that one of his patients is the abducted therapist whose place Malaki took at the rehab center.

    The physical scars and injuries Javier sustained tell a story of torture that should have broken any reasonable person, but within Javier's gaze, Malaki sees the strength and determination to take back his life—and he's drawn to the capacity to love within Javier's heart.

    But navigating the perils of building a relationship is complicated. While Javier's lost the ability to trust himself, there's something about Malaki Taupo that stirs an ache inside him that's altogether different from the physical pain of rebuilding his body.

    Together they go on the journey of discovering who they are as men...and who they could be to each other.

    Reader advisory: This book contains the abduction and torture of the main character and a flashback to an epsiode of waterboarding. The character also goes through rehab. This book also contains racial slurs and insults.

      The heart of Texas beats strong, fueled by the love between two men whose lives are interwoven like the long grass of the hill country they call home. Brandon Blackstun has spent the last decade moving on from the hellish halls of high school. With an invitation to his reunion in hand, he plans to show his former classmates that not only did the repeated occurrences of being slammed into lockers not cause brain damage, but he's now a successful cover artist for the very books they buy off the shelves. Tyler Synder was determined not to follow in his father's footsteps as head of the international corporation that bears the family name. Instead, his heart is tied to the beat of his horses' thundering hooves. He operates a breeding program for Tennessee Walkers and a guest ranch a couple of hours from the urban luxury of Dallas where he was raised. The two men might live very different lives, but the heat between them is hotter than any Texas sun. With the help—or meddling—of an unlikely pair of friends, the two explore a relationship that stirs something deep inside them. Distance and misunderstandings force Tyler and Brandon to consider whether the fulfillment they've experienced in each other's arms is worth the sacrifice of the lives they've built individually. Texas may be the second biggest state in the union, but is it large enough to embrace the love between these two men, or will their deeply hidden fears shatter the boundaries of their hearts?

    If you look up the word conundrum in the dictionary, there should be Trina’s photo next to the description. Her multifaceted personality has left her friends scratching their heads in wonder. A scientist with a passion for history, music and photography she loves to travel and experience new places but is terminally shy around people she doesn’t know. Trina has been devouring romance novels since her tender teenage years. In 2007 she finally took the initiative to write down one of stories that had been rattling around her head for years. Her choices in reading and writing material are as diverse as her iTunes library, which contains music from Mozart to Metallica. Her one concession is all stories must have a happily ever after ending. Did we mention she’s incurably romantic?
