Devil in Texas

2010

This is the first title in the Rugged & Risqué series. New Yorker Liza is in desperate need of a fresh start . . . and libido CPR wouldn't hurt either! Taking Fate into her own hands, she relocates to Wilder, Texas, on a whim. Her first night in town, she meets a devil in blue jeans named Jack. A sinner who willingly hands over a ticket for the most erotic ride of her life! Jack doesn't date Wilder women and he certainly doesn't need another complication in his life. He's running for City Council and trying to keep the morality crusaders in town from shutting down the last-standing public watering hole in Wilder. But when the sexy New Yorker sways her shapely hips through his door, Jack's convictions instantly go up in flames, along with his body! Jack antes up and goes after everything he wants, including Liza. But is he the only one playing for keeps?

Adonis in Texas

2012

This is the second book in the Rugged & Risqué series. Ginger owns a sensuous lingerie boutique in Wilder, Texas, and though her steady customers are thrilled her doors are still open, the reverend’s wife would prefer otherwise. Although Ginger isn’t about to kowtow to the pressure, she invites a different kind of trouble into her life when an unexpected man from the past returns to Wilder . . . Ryan’s homecoming is marred by having to explain to his aunt and uncle that he’s applying for a position as a deputy with the sheriff’s office, rather than working at the church. Complicating family matters is his instant and passionate attraction to Ginger that immediately burns the rumor mill to the ground. The preacher’s nephew and the lingerie princess need to withstand all the talk in town - and Ryan’s dangerous job - to turn their scorching-hot lust into everlasting love . . . A Romantica® contemporary erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
