Colter, a man she has not seen in eight years. Kate
eventually spots her errant fiancé in a compromising

fantasies a reality. Will Mitch accept her as a woman? Or
will he still see her as his best friends' little sister?

matters into his own hands and set up surveillance. He
cannot monitor all hours of the day by himself, so he asks
the Manning brothers for help. He ends up with Kate as his
partner. The last thing he needs is to have Kate as a
constant temptation, but he has no other option. Will he
succumb to her attempts at seduction? Or will he succeed
at keeping her at arm's length?

them together. TEXAS BLAZE is a fast and furious read with

Kate Manning's "blast from the past" has blown back to her
quiet west Texas town! Mitch Colter was once the sum of all
Kate's fantasies. But he was a few years older and her
brothers' best friend, and her fantasies stayed exactly
that. Now, however, Kate's got seduction in mind and a point
to prove: she won't miss out on Mitch a second time.
Mitch can't believe the woman his "little Katie" has become.
She's beautiful, has a body that gives him all kinds of
naughty ideas and, best of all, she's lost none of her fiery
spirit and take-no-prisoners sense of humor. So, when Kate
comes a-calling—he can't resist—and won't! But will their
luck be better the second time around?
