So when the well-meaning folks of Bramble plot to bring Jenna home, Beau will need to convince her that she won’t ever get Texas out of her blood—or one good-time, ever-lovin’ cowboy out of her heart.
Fourteen years ago, Kate Beckett was a teenager more interested in summer romance than babysitting. Then the unthinkable happened: her younger brother was kidnapped and murdered on her watch.

As they race against the clock, their investigation leads to a brutal murderer with a shocking connection to Kate’s tragic past. And this time, the killer has Kate firmly in his sights.
