Avery Holcomb is tired of people taking things from him - his place in the family company, his job, even his wife (by his brother, no less). When he’s had enough, he drives away from Clarksville, Tennessee, with nothing but his trust fund to look for a better life. One stop in a convenience store just across the Texas border hands him the chance to have those literal greener pastures and more, and he grabs hold with both hands.
In the blink of an eye, someone is trying to take the ranch he bought for a song, and this time, it’s the former owner’s great-granddaughter. Lydia Kinsey is a thorn in his side. She’s the most aggravating, annoying, persistent, beautiful, sexy hellion who’s ever crossed Avery’s path, and as much as he hates her for threatening him, he wants her with everything in him. The kiss he gives her to shut her up in front of a local diner full of patrons infuriates her, but he has a feeling it also lit her fire just as it did his.
It doesn’t take him long to figure out that Lydia has secrets, and he’s determined to uncover them, even if it means sending her to jail. Her apology is their turning point, and in one smoldering evening, “down on the farm” takes on a whole new meaning for Avery. But some other force is at work there, an evil one, and without intervention, there’s a good chance that they’ll never see the happily ever after together that they both want so badly.

“Tell you what. How about you just admit that this is never going to go in your favor and tear up that title?” she asked, dropping her hands to her hips and glowering at him.
“And how about you just admit that I’ve got a title to the land and this has nothing to do with me?” Avery countered.
The look she gave him would’ve melted titanium. “Never happening. You’ll be hearing from my attorney.” With that, she whipped around in her impossibly-high heels and stormed off the porch―well, it was a tottering sort of storming, but storming just the same. Avery watched her beautiful heart-shaped ass sway as she went and tried hard not to laugh out loud. And as soon as that car of hers disappeared out the driveway, he called the attorney who’d drawn up the title. The secretary put him right through, and the gentleman assured Avery that the title was legal and binding in the state of Texas. No one had any rights to the property except him. Avery popped the top on a bottle of beer and sat down in the glider on the front porch. This was going to be an interesting place to live. And that was one beautiful little woman. It was a shame his chances with her were less than zero.
About Deanndra: Deanndra Hall is a working author living in the far western end of the beautiful Bluegrass State with her husband of over 35 years and small menagerie of weird little dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s editing. When she’s doing neither of those two things, she’s having dinner with friends, spending time with family, kayaking, eating chocolate, drinking beer or moonshine, or looking for something that she put in the wrong place and can’t seem to find (which is pretty much everything she owns).
