Hot as the south Texas Sun

Sometimes it pays to chase a man until he catches you. In this sequel to "Girl with the Golden Spurs", Ann Major has captured the climate and sub-culture of the growing drug traffic coming from Mexico and the ruthless warlords who will stop at nothing, including holding a beautiful American woman captive. Mia Kemble, the wealthy heiress to the fabled Golden Spurs ranch, had been declared dead in a plane crash. Not only is she alive, but is imprisoned by a powerful Mexican druglord who is possessed by her beauty and wants to make her his own. Shangai Knight, disgruntled neighbor and famous bullrider, must decide whether their childhood ties are more important than his independence. Both their lives--and the daughter he didn't know he had-depend on his decision. What will it be?

Exciting Page-Turner

Mia Kemble, heiress to the Golden Spurs ranch in Texas was spoiled, willful, and had been a thorn in the side of Shanghai Knight ever since he'd saved her life when she was but two years old. Everyone also thought she was dead after the plane she was in crashed into the sea. Instead, she had been saved by a brutal drug lord who, obsessed with her, kept her as a prisoner in his heavily guarded Mexican compound. After a story surfaced showing that she was alive, Shanghai, who'd walked away from her more times than she can count, is the one that comes to her rescue once again. Was it solely, because he discovered he was the father of her child from their one-night stand, or had he finally realized her obsession had been his as well? In a sequel to the GIRL WITH THE GOLDEN SPURS, Major provides an action packed exciting and suspenseful tale that focuses on Mia Kembel, her incarceration, and the attempts to help her escape. The characters of Shanghai, Mia, and even Tavio, were all extremely well drawn out imparting them all with an emotional sensitivity. Numerous flashbacks help to set the stage for the characters motivations and detail the anguish that existed between Mia and Shanghai's family until he finally came to realize and accept the amazing connection that bound them together. Well written, this novel packs a terrific wallop in both romance and suspense categories and shores up an already impressive body of work from this accomplished author. This is highly recommended for those who like their page turning action reads served up with passion and flair. [...]
