Two sweet and sultry inspirational love stories from one of
the genre's most beloved authors.
Texas Heat
When Jack Mansfield dreamt of connecting with his former
love, it was not the image of him arresting her for
embezzlement, and taking her away to the sound of her
daughter's sobs. His gut tells him Charli is innocent but
time is running out to find the true criminal. The closer
Jack gets to solving the crime, the more danger Charli is
in, as the embezzler will stop at nothing to keep his own
skin out of jail.
Texas Pursuit
Sonny Mansfield has always ducked his brothers' hints about
attending church with them, he figured he didn't owe God
much of anything after what God let happen so many years
ago. He was perfectly content with his life as a private
investigator, tracking down wrong-doers for those who wished
to bring them to some sort of justice. But his most recent
case seems different. The woman he tracked seems perfectly
normal and is a good mother to her special needs son. When he
gave his client her information the man's reaction was off,
almost obsessed. The glint in the man's eye boded ill for
Tanya and the life she has built for her son. Sonny broke
his own rules and approached Tanya as a renter, anything to
remain close enough to be certain he hadn't made the second
biggest mistake in his life.
Debra White Smith writes suspenseful, exciting, and
inspirational romances with plenty of physical attraction
between the two main characters without crossing the line
past the borders of the inspirational genre. She manages to
keep the stories God-centered without being at all preachy.
The main characters' personal growth toward a Christian-
centered spirituality is handled deftly and grows naturally
from the events in her skillfully-plotted tales. The book
also contains questions for discussion after each story
making this volume a fine choice for a book club.
The story takes place in the small town of Bullard, Texas,
where the Mansfield brothers seem to have everything in
order...except for their love lives. Jack is the lonely
police chief still pining over Charli, his college
girlfriend. Younger brother Sonny keeps busy on the road
as a private investigator, and a secret from his past
prevents him from finding someone to settle down with. But
all that is about to change...
In the first book of the series, Texas Heat, Charli is
wrongly accused of a terrible crime. Now Jack must arrest
the one woman he's ever loved and risk everything to prove
her innocence and save her life.
In the second book of the series, Texas Pursuit, a single
mother is a target of a relentless stalker - and Sonny
finds himself both the only man who can protect her and
the one who inadvertently leads danger back into her world.
Page-turning novels of romance and suspense, the Lone Star
Intrigue series will give you faith in the power of love,
