Luke Matthews isn't passing up a second chance with the one who got away...but first, he's going to make her pay for leaving him. When her father is injured, Cassie Bellamy has no choice but to go back to her hometown to run the family ranch, but she swears she's going to lay low and avoid the lying, cheating polecat who sent her running ten years prior. But fate has other plans. As soon as she hits the outskirts of town, her truck breaks down and Cassie quickly finds out two things. Bad Boy Luke Matthews is still hotter than the Texas sun, but he's not a bad boy anymore, he's the town sheriff and seems to have an ax to grind. She also realizes, engaged or not, she is not as over him as she wanted to be. That proves to be a problem when her business-partner fiancé visits the ranch and his true intentions are revealed. Cassie has no doubt Luke can protect her when things turn ugly, but who will protect her heart from Luke? **NOTICE** The cover on this book is new, but the content and story have not changed. All of the books in the Texas Trouble series can be read as standalone novels.
