From the inside flap

A steamy store of deception and desire as two lovers discover that an arranged marriage can sizzle with more heat than a Texas night! She was a pampered Mississippi belle who had never know a single day of hardship in all her twenty three years. But now Skylia St. Clair was desperate. Why else would she have advertised in the newspaper for a husband? And here he was, galloping onto her newly inherited Texas ranch a handsome, sweet-talking rogue Skylia couldn't trust or resist. The ex-Rebel soldier and con man took pride in his deceiving art. Now, in the booming post war west, Braxton Hale intended to make the biggest killing of all. He would play the groom the lovely lady wanted, right before he stole her land and hightailed it to the richer horizons of California. But that was before Braxton held the sweet,sensuous Skylia in his arms and discovered a woman he desired far more than gold.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book!

I really liked this book. I couldn't put it down! I read it in 1 day. It kept me wondering the whole time about exactly what would happen. I enjoyed the time period it was set in and it was obvious Ms. Hix researched it. I would recommend it to anyone!
