When Kate Black walked away from a passionless relationship to tend to her ailing father, she was happy to return to the land that had been in her family for generations and lead a simple life. Too young and innocent to know better, she had no idea that agreeing to lease her acreage to an oil company would turn her life upside down. Even more unsettling is the ruggedly handsome man running the drilling operation, who makes her breath hitch and awakens a sensual need Kate never before knew existed.
Jake Green has oil in his blood, along with a chip on his shoulder as big as the Texas sky. Following his ex-wife's betrayal, he swore off somen and dedicated his life to growing his family's business. But when his job leads him to Kate, he can't deny the fiery attraction that burns between them and indulges his powerful yearning, even as he fights to protect his tortured heart.
As the two surrender to an unquenchable passion and discover undeniable pleasures in each other's arms, Kate must find a way to heal Jake's heart--and Jake must admit to himself that a love like none he's ever known is about to consume them completely.
