Böcker av K. S. Jones

"Award-winning Author K.S. Jones continues the True Hearts of Texas series with another sweet 'n' steamy contemporary western romance! For pilot Addy Piper, the sky became a refuge from her past. Stripped of a family as a teenager, loneliness settled where love belonged. Now, with an industry-wide furlough, she's lost her plane, her friends, and life as she knows it-again. In need of a place to stay while interviewing for a private pilot gig, Addy chooses a Bed and Breakfast-the house nearly a replica of her childhood home-from an outdated brochure kept hidden away in her "special places" box. Jack Brown, owner of the Texas Hill Country B & B, admits he should have closed it four years ago when his wife died, but every time he looks at his six-year-old daughter, he sees her mother and just can't let go of the dream. Estranged from his family after a terrible accident, Jack has banished every blood relative, isolating himself and his daughter. When forced to confront painful memories, the bruised and broken pieces of their hearts will open, or close completely, to a future no one, especially them, believes can exist"--

Her salvation is cooking-it's the only thing that has ever separated her from her hometown roots-but now that her job in N.Y.C. is on hold, she still needs to earn. Unfortunately, a dishwashing gig at an out-of-the-way bar and grill is all that's available.It isn't until Mia reconnects with Jace, her old high school sweetheart and heir to a Texas Century Ranch, that she realizes she may still have a taste for Texas after all.
