Texas Hustle — Cynthia D'Alba

They're different as night and day...but it's the right time for love.

Porchia Summers was born into a family who gave her everything except affection. She acted out until her parents sent her to Whispering Springs before their high-society friends found out about her arrest record. She builds a good life in Texas, but then the old boyfriend who got her in trouble tracks her down. Desperate to find a way to keep her past and present separate, she places a bid at a bachelor auction on the one man who'll get her out of town for a few days. Darren Montgomery is thrilled when Porchia wins him and a week of camping with his entire family in a charity bachelor auction. He's also curious. He's been flirting with the town's sweet, sexy baker for years. Sometimes she flirts back, but she's never let things go further than that. Darren's not complaining, but he wonders just what's going on behind Porchia's pretty eyes.

Warning: Watch out for chigger bites, love bites, and secrets that bite.
