Kate Manning should be on top of the world. She is happily engaged, her best friends are in town celebrating with her, and her family is hosting their annual Fourth of July gathering. However, she could not feel lonelier. She cannot find her fiancé, her friends are inseparable from her brothers, and the fireworks are rather foreboding. When she spots a lone figure amongst the party revelers, her heart speeds up at the thought that it could be Mitch Colter, a man she has not seen in eight years. Kate eventually spots her errant fiancé in a compromising position, so she seeks out that friendly face from her past, and this time she is determined to make her teenage fantasies a reality. Will Mitch accept her as a woman? Or will he still see her as his best friends' little sister? Mitch Colter is back in Appleton, Texas on family business. He wants to know who is responsible for the cattle rustling that forced his parents off their ranch. When the sheriff has no leads, Mitch decides to take 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? Debbi Rawlins wrangles together an unlikely romance. She pairs a feisty heroine with an indomitable hero, and the result is explosive. Kate is tired of being responsible. She wants to have a little fun with or without Mitch. Mitch decides that Kate still needs a keeper, and he is available. If he is not willing to take her, then he is determined that no one else will either. Fireworks fly between the two as they resist the forces that are linking them together. TEXAS BLAZE is a fast and furious read with enough intrigue and romance to keep you glued to those pages.

SUMMARY

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?
