Love With A Long, Tall Texan When these long, tall Texans fall in love, it's for real, for life, no holds barred… The rogue. With a bad boy reputation, he's beyond redemption. Until a prickly publicist vows to bring him to his knees… The elusive bachelor. He won't be lassoed – until the most infuriating lady he's ever met careens into his life… The man on the move. An ambitious reporter is about to break the story of a century – unless he can stop her. Matt Texas Tycoon The last thing Matt Caldwell wants to do is open up to a woman and risk getting hurt. So he's sworn off the fairer sex…until his beautiful new assistant walks through the office door. What's a mogul to do? On the run from her past, Leslie Murry is in need of a protector. And her new boss might just be the one to help. But when Leslie suddenly finds herself in Matt's strong arms, she wonders if she could be the one to knock down the bachelor's protective walls and finally bring love to this long, tall Texan. Boss Man As Jacobsville's leading lawyer, Blake Kemp had a reputation to uphold, and he didn't want his assistant to get in his way – even if he desperately needed her, since those big boots of his did have a tendency to step on toes... So, of course, the boss man blew up at pretty, gentle Violet, for having the nerve to step on his toes, causing her to leave him in a cloud of Texas dust. But Blake could soon see that without his guiding light, his life would be in darkness. Only one thing to do – hire her back and make sure that business didn't mess with matters of the heart...on or off the job!
