About this ebook
A STEAMY STORY OF DECEPTION AND DESIRE...AS TWO LOVERS DISCOVER THAT AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE CAN SIZZLE WITH MORE HEAT THAN A TEXAS NIGHT!
She was a pampered Mississippi belle who had never known a single day of hardship in all her twenty-three years. But now Skylla St. Clair was desperate. Why else would she have advertised in the newspaper... for a husband? And here he was, galloping onto her newly inherited Texas ranch--a handsome, sweet-talking rogue Skylla couldn't trust--or resist.
The ex-Rebel soldier and con man took pride in his deceiving art. Now, in the booming post-war West, Braxton Hale intended to make the biggest killing of all. He would play the groom the lovely lady wanted...right before he stole her land and high-tailed it to the richer horizons of California. But that was before Braxton held the sweet, sensuous Skylla in his arms--and discovered a woman he desired far more than gold...

About the author
MARTHA HIX grew up in Texas and didn’t mind listening to stories about how her ancestors had been in the place for a long, long time. Well, in Texas that just meant more than a hundred years. This weird kid soaked up the stories and became an ardent student of family and general history, which came in handy when she took to writing both fiction and non-fiction. Eventually, her romance novels were translated into many foreign languages, some of them very foreign, like Japanese, Greek, and Turkish. On the home front, she lives in the fabulous Texas Hill Country with her husband and their spoiled four-legged kids. Visit her on the web at marthahix.com.
