Tanna Baker is a Texas born and bred ranch girl and three time national champion barrel racer. Tanna has always worked hard and played even harder. Tanna embraces her reputation of "Wild Child" on the rodeo circuit. She believes in keeping it light and fun and then moving on. With the sudden loss of her mother and the only home she has ever known Tanna is feeling broken. Just when she believes she might be alright, Tanna is involved in a tragic accident which leaves her with injuries that go deeper than her physical form.

August "Fletch" Fletcher is a Wyoming bred cowboy and workaholic veterinarian. Fletch loves his job and is devoted to the people and animals of his community. Fletch can't remember the last time he had a vacation but he does believe in blowing off steam with a good looking woman. One night Fletch stops off at a local "watering hole" and while enjoying a cold beer he encounters a fiery cowgirl who rocks his world. Something about this woman touches his soul but when he wakes up the next morning he realizes she has left without a trace. Normally Fletch wouldn't mind a one night stand where no names are exchanged but the knowledge this "one" left him behind is tearing him up.

Author Lorelei James brings the modern western to life in her Blacktop Cowboy Series fifth book, TURN AND BURN. James' portrayal of rodeo cowboys and Wyoming ranchers is so realistic you will swear you feel the grit on your teeth. In TURN AND BURN Tanna's is doing what she does best and that is running, this time it isn't barrels she is running but her inner demons. Meanwhile, Fletch is doing a bit of running himself. Fletch has used work to run away from life and the possibilities of a real relationship.

When Tanna and Fletch's lives merge the fireworks are bigger and brighter than any Fourth of July sky. Tanna and Fletch's journey is provocative and poignant. With TURN AND BURN Lorelei James has topped the ranks and in this readers heart James is The All-Around Champion.
