True Texas Love — Thelma Alexander

As the widow of a distinguished senator, Leigh Wright has spent the past three years accepting awards, serving on boards, and providing stability for her children. Now it's her turn to do something for herself: leave the Washington, D.C. limelight and go back to the University of Texas for her doctorate.

The last thing Leigh expects is to fall for charismatic professor Brad Gillmore, a man with the mind of a scholar, the lips of a poet, and the eyes of a rogue. Although they're as different as two people can be, maybe the time has come for Leigh to break old habits and dare to try something new... jeans and cowboy boots... lazy weekends in the country... and a chance to love again!

Hero: Brad Gillmore
Heroine: Leigh Wright
