The Long, Hot Texas Summer — Cathy Gillen Thacker

HEATING UP IN TEXAS!

When Justin McCabe hires a master carpenter to help build his ranch for troubled teens, tall, gorgeous blonde Amanda Johnson isn't quite what he'd imagined. But not only can she do the job, she has a thing or two to teach him about judging by appearances. And, more important, she has a knack for reaching the kind of kid Justin wants to help.

Amanda hadn't counted on her new boss -- all strapping six foot five of him -- being so utterly irresistible. Working side by side under the scorching Texas sun, the two of them make a great team -- in every way possible. The heat of summer is no match for the sizzle they generate whenever they're together. But when a crisis forces Amanda to face her past, she'll need to make a heart-wrenching decision about her future…whether Justin is in it or not.
