Jet Baron, who's a good-hearted guy, tends to spend more
time at the rodeo than in the office. Well, his family's
awash with Texas oil money so why not? Only, his father
and sister think he should be pulling his weight in the
firm. So when Jet doesn't realise that they've hired a
stunning female engineer, that's his problem. I chuckled
at
the start of THE TEXAN'S TWINS as Jet makes traditional
male assumptions which are every bit typical of the old-
time energy industry. This is the twenty-first century,
and
Jet had better come to terms with the fact that JC Marks,
although a female, can lick him hollow when it comes to
getting oil out of the ground.
Jasmine Marks, still in her twenties, somehow managed to
fit in healthy twins and her life as a single mother is
consequently busy - too busy for socialising. Lizzie
Baron,
Jet's sister, is hands-on at the oil firm and that was how
Jasmine got hired. She's determined to prove herself, and
is not above dropping the name of her wildcatter father to
sway opinion. Jet may be distractingly good-looking, but
there's no room in her life for a boyfriend just now.
Amazingly though, Jet starts showing up at the Dallas
office more often, serious, diligent about checking
figures
and inquiring into Jasmine's personal life.
There's a smashing helicopter ride, since Jet's a pilot,
and lots of practical details about running Baron
Energies.
There's also a family-friendly rodeo serving the best
peach
pie in Texas. Motherhood brings responsibility however and
Lizzie has to put her girls' health before her own heart.
This exciting and varied story is an adult romance -
despite the fact that a work relationship is unethical.
Can they get their lives back on track or must the fling
end in tears?
Pamela Britton has written many previous novels and won
awards, and she's a columnist for American Quarter Horse
Journal, which explains why her horse details are so good.
If you haven't tried her work before, pick up THE TEXAN'S
TWINS and get acquainted. You're in for a treat.
Definitely Not Daddy Material!
Jasmine Marks is focused and hardworking, and when she
took
a job as engineer for Baron Energies, she left behind her
support network. Now, the burden of caring for her twin
girls is all on her, and she doesn't have time for a
dilettante playboy like Jet Baron. Besides, she needs her
job, and she can't blow it by getting involved with the
boss's son.
On the surface, Jet Barron is a dabbler, dropping into
work
one day and riding rodeo the next. But when he makes his
mind up, he goes for it, full-out. He knows a lot more
than
anyone suspects, about the oil business, about women. And
this woman needs someone to count on—which will be Jet, if
he gets his way.
