SHE MADE UP THE RULES Libby Chandler was hanged if she'd wear a fancy dress to meet Alexander Drake, the Earl of Harrow—even if he did own two-thirds of Whiskey Ranch and had come all the way from England to inspect his Texas holdings. Since her father had been killed, she ran the ranch, and the sooner his Earlship got used to the sight of her in denim trousers, the better! But the man who stepped off the stage was lean, handsome, and cool-as-you-please, with the powerful air of one used to control. Suddenly it was not only Drake that Libby had to fight, but her own wayward desires ... HE LAID DOWN THE LAW Drake was tempted to whistle at the "lady" who had come to greet him. Her tight-fitting trousers showed off her leggy beauty even as her Texas-blue eyes dared him to find her attractive. Little did she know that her frank manner and lithe figure were a potent combination for a man sick of pampered fashion plates. Or that he planned on taking full advantage of what her clothing seemed to promise. But first he'd lay down the no ranch of his was going to be run by a female.

Don’t get me wrong...I love my husband...but I’ve spent a lifetime caught in a passionate affair. My lover taunts, teases, enrages, thrills, amuses, and ultimately satisfies. His name? Language. Readers, you know what I’m talking about. Whether written, spoken, or sung, words entice me as no other human invention could ever do. Okay, music is a close second; when you put the two together, the result is sublime. Like most writers, I came to this devilish profession through a love of reading. I’ve worked as a crime reporter, teacher, librarian - challenges all. They culminated in the creation of stories of my own, both contemporary and historical. My wish is that you let them seduce you I live in San Antonio with my husband, dote on five grandsons, and travel whenever and wherever I can. My photo was taken on the dock in Liverpool, England, in front of a modern sculpture of a “lamb-banana,” the artist’s whimsical cross between a lamb and a banana. This was shortly before an emotional trip to the boyhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
