Synopsis

In the second book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown’s beloved Texas! trilogy, readers meet another son of the troubled Tyler clan–Chase Tyler, a man hardened by life and desperately trying to outrun the sorrows of his past. Here is the next chapter in this classic family saga set against the oilfields and roughneck toughness of the Lone Star state.

Chase Tyler has been the object of Marcie Johns’s desire since grade school. But the handsome, laconic cowboy felt nothing but platonic affection for the class bookworm, and when it came time to settle down, Chase chose another woman to be his bride. Life was good for Chase, and Marcie resigned herself to finding happiness through professional success.

But things have a way of taking a tragic turn for the Tylers. In an instant, Chase’s life is changed–abruptly and irreparably. Ravaged by grief and unable to move on, Chase becomes a lost soul, hiding from his own pain. He abandons the family business, wanders aimlessly on the rodeo circuit, and tries to drown his troubles in an endless succession of whiskey bottles.

Then fate intercedes, reuniting Chase and Marcie, who was an unwitting player in his unfathomable family tragedy. Guilt weighs heavily on Marcie, but she’s also convinced that only the strength of her love can pull Chase back from the abyss. She’s willing to risk everything on a daring plan to rescue his business, save his life, and bring them together at last.

A dramatic tale of love and redemption that’s as bold and brash as the land in which it’s set, Texas! Chase advances the legend of the Tyler family’s three headstrong but charming and endearing progeny.

From the Publisher:

All He Wanted Was Enough Whiskey To Forget...

Ravaged by grief after a car crash took his cherished wife and unborn child, Chase Tyler had abandoned his family business. He'd hit the rodeo circuit and the bars with equal disregard for his life, unwilling to face his pain and move on--until a bad-tempered bull and a lady from the past forced him to...

All She Wanted Was His Love...

Marcie Johns had known Chase all her life, had been driving the car when it crashed and his wife was killed. She still wondered if Chase blamed her for his loss. But she was willing to gamble her pride and happiness to give the man she'd adored since childhood something to live for. When she offered Chase a brazen proposition to save his company, he was shocked by her plan--and he hated himself for being tempted by the fire smoldering in her gorgeous eyes! Could a once-shy bookworm seduce the rugged cowboy of her dreams into letting her love heal his heart?
