(Book #1 of Lone Star Leathernecks)
By Heather Long
A Leatherneck by any other name can still kick ass, which is
just what retired United States Marine Corps Captain Tanner Wilks plans to do
when he returns to his Texas family ranch to care for his ailing father. And
nothing will stop him from achieving his mission—not even a lithe, brown-eyed
town veterinarian who seems hell-bent on driving him wild.
Captain Tanner Wilks, honorably discharged from the U.S.
Marine Corps, returns home to find his father struggling after his latest heart
attack. Worse yet, Julia Heller—the sexy new girl in town that he once spent a
hot night with—is the resident veterinarian who’s made a home for herself at
Round Top ranch, and doesn’t seem to be in a rush to repeat their time
together.
It falls on Tanner’s shoulders to take on the ranch and keep
an eye on his father before he falls victim to another heart attack. But Julia
doesn’t appreciate Tanner coming in or pursuing her. Even if he’s hot as hell
and can make her quiver with just a look. Ousting her may give Tanner the
leverage he needs to corral his father, but first he has to wrestle with his
own heart.
