Texas! Sage

"He was everything she despised in a man. So why couldn't she stay out of his arms?" This had to be the worst night of Sage Tyler's life. First her fiancé jilts her. Then she has to fly home with Harlan Boyd, the arrogant, drop-dead gorgeous stranger who overheard every word of that humiliating episode--and enjoyed it! All Sage wants is for this sexy, no-account drifter to keep his distance--and keep her broken engagement a secret. But Harlan Boyd has desires of his own...
She was the most beautiful, exciting, unpredictable woman Harlan had ever met, and he could barely keep his hands off of her. Yet he tried to stay away, tried to remember that Sage Tyler needed a man who'd convince her of her own worth, not a man who'd be moving on.
Then Sage's family business, the Tyler Drilling Company, came under the threat of ruin, and Sage and Harlan suddenly found themselves fighting side by side to save it... in quarters too close to keep passion at bay. Can spoiled, headstrong Sage find love with a man who seems so easy to get and so hard to keep? "Her lips were soft and inviting against his as she sighed, then whispered, "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas to you, too, Sage." Smiling, she folded her arms around his neck and placed her lips on his again, putting more passion into their kiss ... or trying to. "Travis!" "What?" "Kiss me." "I did." "I mean, really kiss me," she said and growled sexily. "You're allowed to kiss sexy, you know, even though it is Christmas." "Sage, please." Nervously the young man glanced toward the windows. A party was underway inside the house. "Somebody might see us." She removed her arms from around his neck and blew out a gust of air. "Oh, for heaven's sake, Travis, you're so damn proper! Nobody is looking. And if anyone is, who would care if we're out here necking?" "Mother would care. Do you like your bracelet?" Temporarily distracted, she replied, "Of course I like the bracelet. What woman wouldn't? It's beautiful." Raising her arm, she shook the heavy gold bangle around her wrist. "I'm glad you let me open my present tonight instead of waiting for Christmas Day."
