She raised her arms to him. He was in them before his next breath. She kissed his jaw, temple, forehead. His breath shuddered.
“I’ve been yours since I was eight years old.”
He couldn’t stop kissing her. He moved down her throat, kissed the valley between her breasts. Then laid his lips on her stomach and felt each inhale. He quieted against her, taking in the rhythm of her beating heart, willing his own to match. He wrapped his arms around her and was suddenly afraid to move. His old friend doubt came back for a visit. “Katie, how do I know you won’t regret this? Things between us have always been hot and cold. What makes this time different?”
Katie stroked his hair, her fingers lovingly twisting the strands around her fingers. “I don’t know, Cole. I do know things won’t always be easy, and I can’t promise you I’ll never smack you upside the head, since you’re one of the most stubborn men I know. But I can promise you one thing. After we fight,” she said with a sexy twinkle in her eye, “I won’t wait near as long to let you make it up to me.”
And he wouldn’t wait near as long either, because now he knew . . . the best part of fighting with Katie was the making up with her afterward.

Sweet Plains, Texas, wasn’t so sweet to Cody, Noah, and Beau Tucker. But now the Tucker boys are men, ready to take on the questions that have haunted them since they left home . . .
Cody Tucker shook the dust of his two-bit hometown off his boots ten years ago—right about the time his college sweetheart, Shelby Lynn Harris, married his so-called best friend. But when his dad dies, Cody finds himself home again and knee deep in the past. Except now his rowdy beer buddy is the sheriff, his housekeeper is a blue-ribbon chili chef, and the family ranch is in the red. The only thing that hasn’t changed is Shelby Lynn . . .
Shelby Lynn has gone through a lot of heartache thanks to Cody. But that’s all over now. She just wants a chance to live the life she’s made for herself in peace. The trouble is, the Sweet Plains chili cook-off is heating up, the Ladies of Sweet are as riled as hornets, and as soon as Cody gets near, she forgets all about peace. Cody is pure temptation—and she knows just how good it feels to give in . . .
