Definitely Not Daddy Material!
Jasmine Marks is focused and hardworking, and when she took a job as engineer for Baron Energies, she left behind her support network. Now, the burden of caring for her twin girls is all on her, and she doesn’t have time for a dilettante playboy like Jet Baron. Besides, she needs her job, and she can’t blow it by getting involved with the boss’s son.
On the surface, Jet Barron is a dabbler, dropping into work one day and riding rodeo the next. But when he makes his mind up, he goes for it, full-out. He knows a lot more than anyone suspects, about the oil business, about women. And this woman needs someone to count on—which will be Jet, if he gets his way.
“You think I’m some kind of prank. An actress hired to—what? Pretend to have a meeting with you? Then strip out of my clothes?”
He’d started to get a funny feeling. “Well, yeah.”
She took a step toward him, and Jet would be lying if he didn’t feel as if, somehow, the joke was on him.
“Tell me something, what makes you think the engineer in question is a man?”
“All engineers in the oil industry are men.”
She took another step toward him. “There are actually quite a few women in the business. I graduated from Berkley with a degree in geology.” She took yet another step closer. “I interned for the USGS out of Menlo Park then moved back to Texas to get my master’s in engineering. My father was a wildcatter, and it was from him that I learned the business, so let me reassure you, Mr. Baron, I can tell the difference between an injection hose and a drill pipe. But if you still insist only men can be engineers, perhaps we should call your sister, Lizzie, who hired me.”
He couldn’t speak for a moment. “Oh, crap.”
Her extraordinary blue eyes scanned him, her derision clearly evident. “Still want me to strip?”
He almost said yes, but he could tell that he was in enough trouble as it was.
It’s always a privilege to be asked to contribute to one of Mills & Boon’s continuity series. When my editor called and explained the premise of the Texas Rodeo Barons, I became even more thrilled. Cowboys, rodeos and family drama? I was in!
I will have to admit, it’s a little daunting, too. All those different heroes and heroines to keep track of, not to mention story lines and plot twists. I knew I would need to read each book to ensure I didn’t drop the ball somewhere along the way.
Those books blew me away.
I was left in awe of my fellow authors: Donna Alward, Trish Milburn, Barbara White Daille, Cathy McDavid and Tanya Michaels. To be honest, I was a little overwhelmed, too. Could I write a book as good as my sister authors? I wasn’t sure I could, but I sure tried, focusing all my energy on creating a story that would continue the standard of excellence…and a funny thing happened.
I fell in love with my own characters.
My hero was so much fun to write, and my heroine the perfect match for his bad-boy personality. Add in two adorable twin girls and, well, what a hoot-and-a-half.
I hope you feel the same way about The Texan’s Twins.
