He loved her and he intended to spend the rest of his life making her happy.
“Has anyone ever told you that you look good in a cowboy hat?” he asked as he sat his on top of her head and stared into her brilliant green eyes.
“No, but I seem to recall someone who likes to see me in boots and little else.”
“Now, there’s an idea, sugar,” he murmured. “Only this time we’ll try it with the boots and the hat. I already had my ride.” His gaze caught and held hers. “It’s time for you to climb into the saddle.”
“Lead the way, cowboy. Lead the way.”

TEXAS THUNDER
Praise for TEXAS THUNDER
“Fast-paced and smoothly plotted, Raye’s lighthearted series starter deftly evokes a variety of emotions while building multifaceted characters.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A sweet, passionate story that captures the heart and provides a thrilling happily-ever-after.”
—Night Owl Reviews
“Love and moonshine blend well in Raye’s latest novel set in Texas, with her modern, amusing storytelling and strong, lively characters. Callie’s sassiness is the perfect complement to Brett’s toughness, and their tension is just as fiery and intense as their chemistry, which will appeal to readers. Raye gives us a well-crafted, down-home romance.”
—RT Book Reviews
“A sizzling tale that features some hot sex, but it’s the plentiful laugh-out-loud scenes that will pull readers in. A passionate and enjoyable read from beginning to end.”
—Romance Reviews Today
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Being a writer is the best job in the world. It’s scary at times and lonely more often than not, but the reward is well worth it. Who else gets to go to work in their PJs and spend all day with some really hot heroes? But there’s more to a great book than me and my computer. I would like to say a special thank-you to those special individuals who help breathe life into my books. To the best agent in the business, Natasha Kern, for always giving me solid advice and an understanding ear. To my editor, Holly Ingraham, who goes above and beyond the call of duty to help the story be the best that it can be. And to my family, who put up with take-out and mismatched socks when I’m too busy to leave my fictitious world.
Much love from deep in the heart!
