"A tortured hero, a love that defies distance and time...this is a book you won't soon forget." Cat Johnson
"Passionate, gritty and fast paced...with a hot blooded, honorable hero to make every woman's knees go weak." Diane Whiteside"
Katie Harris loved growing up on a ranch. She had her horse, the beautiful Texas prairie, and Cole Logan, the cowboy next door. But there are a lot of secrets hidden under a Texas sky...
Katie always knew she'd marry Cole one day—until he broke her dreams and her heart. But now that Katie's father is sick, she's back home, older, wiser and nowhere near the love-sick fool she once was.
Cole knows Katie doesn't want anything to do with him. But after so many years, he can't pretend she's no more than the girl next door. Holding his ground was hard enough when she was seventeen. Now that she's her own woman, Cole's heart doesn't stand a chance...
"Wow! I could not put this book down. Beautifully written. Lots of surprises, twists and turns." Amazon Reviewer
Genre: FICTION / Romance / ContemporaryThis book was the first book that I got published. It won a few writing contests and got my first publishing contract with a New York publisher, Avon under Harper Collins. It also got me a New York agent and an cover quote from New York Times best selling author Cat Johnson. (See book description)
Though this books is a few years old, it has been one of my best selling books. With over 999 ratings on Goodreads, it's been well recieved by my fans. This is also the first book in the Texas Fever series.
If you are interested in translating this book, please consider translating the sequel also.
Thank you

Cole took her hand in his and helped her jump down. She sprang harder than necessary and landed a few inches in front of him. He stepped back, either uncomfortable with the invasion of personal space, or to prevent her from stepping on his toes. He waited to make sure she had her balance before he dropped her hand and absently wiped his palm on his pant leg.
He reached for the silver travel mug that sat waiting for him on the wooden post. Katie’s gaze focused on his lips as they pressed against the black plastic rim and watched the corded column of his throat work as he drank.
Cole’s gaze found hers. He took another sip, then handed her the mug to finish off. It was something of a tradition between them. Sharing morning coffee had started when she was a kid and begged for a sip. Coffee had been off-limits, her Pa believing it would stunt her growth. Now, close to five feet seven inches and her eighteenth birthday no more than six months away, she’d be allowed her own cup, but still preferred to share Cole’s.
She waited until Cole rolled the wheelbarrow down the aisle toward the back stalls, and then turned the mug to line up his lip mark with her mouth. This was the best moment of her day. The small stillness of time that made waking up at dawn worth the sleep deprivation. She closed her eyes, inhaled the deep roasted aroma she always associated with Cole and imagined his lips pressed to hers as she drank.
“Katie.”
Startled, she flushed, embarrassed to be caught in such an intimate moment, even if it was just in her own mind. She nodded and faced Cole, who had turned, watching her with intensity in his gaze. Nervous he might’ve guessed her thoughts, she felt her heart thud loud and uneven.
“If you wear that shirt again. I’ll burn it.”
