SHINING DREAMS, BLAZING PASSIONS Janice Harrison looked like a dowdy schoolmarm to the citizens if Mineral Springs, Texas, as long as no one saw her with her golden hair loose around her white shoulders and her perfect body free from its corset stays. But Peter Mulloney had glimpsed her sensual silhouette in her cabin window, and the hot desire he felt surprised him. He had come here looking for a Texas banker, and all he cared about was proving to his wealthy family that he was his own man. All Janice cared about was being her own woman, supporting herself and her fragile little sister Betsy—and keeping her secrets hidden. Now excitement and danger swept into her life with the bearded, rugged Mulloney. True, Peter Mulloney brought the tender kisses she relished, but did he also bring the kind of hurt that could shatter her soul? Or had the two of them found the rarest treasure in a lifetime of dreams—love...?
