The year is 1934. With the country in the stranglehold of drought and economic depression, Ella Barron runs her Texas boardinghouse with an efficiency that ensures her life will be kept in balance. Between chores of cooking and cleaning for her residents, she cares for her ten-year-old son, Solly, a sweet but challenging child whose misunderstood behavior finds Ella on the receiving end of pity, derision, and suspicion.When David Rainwater arrives at the house looking for lodging, he comes recommended by a trusted friend as "a man of impeccable character." But Ella senses that admitting Mr. Rainwater will bring about unsettling changes.

Sandra Brown has won over fans and critics throughout
the world with more than fifty New York Times
bestselling novels. Her early works were hailed by
Rendezvous magazine as stories with “larger than life
heroes and heroines [who] make you believe all the
warm, wonderful, wild things in life.” Here is
the unforgettable story of a woman who returns to
her small hometown in the South—and finds
that the sins of her past are right where she left them.
Never. Sunny Chandler always said she’d never go
back to the tiny town where she grew up. It was just
three years ago that she was at the center of a notorious
scandal—and the good folks of Latham Green,
Louisiana, made it clear they’d never let her forget it.
So Sunny packed up and headed for New Orleans, and
now she wouldn’t give up city life for the world. But
when she’s invited to her best friend’s wedding, Sunny
has no choice but to go home. And with her return
come the whispers…the looks…the rumors she tried
to escape. It doesn’t take Sunny long to see that
Latham Green has nothing new to offer. Except
maybe Ty Beaumont.
The moment Ty and Sunny first meet at a party, he can
see she’s no ordinary woman. With her dazzling hair,
and eyes the color of gold, she’s a flesh-and-blood
fantasy—and Ty vows he’ll have her in his bed before
the week is out. Yet even when he turns on his southern
charm, Sunny makes it clear she’s not interested.
Sure, a night with Ty would be wilder than Bourbon
Street at Mardi Gras. But Sunny’s not in town to
become some good ol’ boy’s latest conquest, no matter
how sexy he is. Little does she know that Ty
isn’t used to taking no for an answer—and he isn’t
about to start now.
Soon what began as an innocent flirtation becomes
a tantalizingly slow, skillfully deliberate, and
overwhelmingly seductive pursuit that even Sunny
finds hard to resist. But resist him she will. For
Sunny is harboring an agonizing secret—the painful
truth of why she left Latham Green the way she did.
What she really needs now is a friend—and that’s when
she discovers there may be more to Ty Beaumont
than meets the eye. Despite his roguish facade, Sunny
comes to see he has a heart of gold. Still, she doesn’t
know if she can trust another person with her secret
heartbreak—not even the one man who may
be able to heal it.

In the dramatic finale of #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown’s popular Texas! trilogy, the headstrong youngest daughter of the powerful Tyler family finally steps out of the large shadow cast by her two older brothers. But forging her own path will take every ounce of savvy and independent spirit in Sage Tyler’s possession.
TEXAS! SAGE
The youngest heir to her family’s oil fortune, Sage has always been the unbridled spitfire in the Tyler clan. Now, fresh out of the University of Texas with her MBA in hand, she’s looking to settle down at last with her safe, predictable upper-crust fiancé. But unbeknownst to Sage, her well-ordered future is about to be suddenly and irrevocably upended.
Into her life saunters Harlan Boyd, an irritating, rootless drifter recently hired by her brothers for a Tyler Drilling Company project. Harlan’s just the sort of man Sage should avoid—particularly during this rare period of vulnerability. But there’s something irresistible about the laconic cowboy that intrigues her, makes her want to reveal all her secrets to him, and even forces her to reconsider the path her life will take. But can she trust a man who shares her maverick spirit—and harbors long-held secrets of his own?
When a financial crisis threatens to wreck Tyler Drilling for good, Sage and Harlan must channel their simmering chemistry into the immediate task of saving the family business. Working side by side in close quarters, Sage will discover that a man who seems all wrong for her may prove to be the right choice after all.
Crackling with the lightning heat of a Lone Star summer, Texas! Sage is a fitting final chapter for the Tyler family saga.

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.

The first book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown’s beloved
Texas! trilogy introduced readers worldwide to a captivating family struggling to go on without its patriarch—and to a man in pursuit of an elusive woman who may hold his future in her hands. Here is a saga told only as Brown can…an adored classic.
If middle children were born to rebel, Lucky Tyler was true to type. Charismatic and good-looking, his romantic conquests had earned him his name—while his temper had earned him a reputation as the family hothead. And one unfortunate night the sight of a woman being harassed got the best of him. The fight that ensued was predictable—the woman was not. Maybe Lucky was old-fashioned, but he’d expected at least a “Thank you” before she drove away. Then again, maybe chasing after a mysterious stranger was just the distraction he needed.
But the woman had a knack for disappearing—even after Lucky tracked her down. Even after they shared a night neither would forget. He was determined to find her yet again, but this time his search would be fueled by more than desire. For during the night a suspicious fire had broken out at Tyler Drilling—and Lucky was the prime suspect. Now the woman was more than his obsession, she was his alibi.
Cornered by her own deception, Devon Haines had tried her best to escape Lucky. Yet his bold pursuit and self-assurance disarmed her in a way she’d never experienced. But Lucky was about to ask for something she was terrified to give. Clearing his name would mean revealing a secret he’d regret ever knowing. Refusing could cost him everything. And doing either could mean losing him forever.
Pulsing with suspense and romance, here is the sweeping tale of a close-knit family and the daring, irreverent, irresistible heirs at its center.
