(Alternate cover edition of ASIN B0721HKB3P.) "It's up to you." How could a four-word sexy invitation scribbled on a business card drive a normally sensible woman to be so... impulsive? It wasn't Harley Golden's style to call a perfect stranger. But here she was, after the briefest of conversations on a flight home from a business trip, having phone sex with the man who'd handed her his card: the unforgettable and mysterious Gardner Barnes. But the late night conversations aren't enough for long, so what next? Fly across Texas in his plane? Talk face-to-face? Fall head over heels for a man who is already married to his ranch? A man who has lust down to an art but doesn't believe in love?

Electrician Sophie North felt as if she'd touched a live wire the first time she laid eyes on Tyler Barnes. Hardly unexpected. He had a heartbreaking grin, an incredible body, and a thousand watts of cowboy charm. Half the single women in Brodie, Texas, were out to snag him now that he was setting up his veterinary practice. But Sophie was just passing through. And she'd sworn never to live her life at the mercy of her own passionate nature—not after passion had destroyed her chance for a real family. Nevertheless, every time Tyler came near her response was shocking. Which wasn't supposed to be happening. Lightning was only supposed to strike once!
