Texas! The Tyler Family Saga (abridged)

All he wanted was enough whiskey to forget. Ravaged by grief after a car crash killed his cherished wife and unborn child, Chase Tyler has 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, and had been driving the car when it crashed.

Sage Tyler knows exactly the kind of man she wants...sophisticated, quiet, and, above all, controllable. Harlan Boyd, the egotistical drifter who works for her brothers, is none of these things. But Boyd is the first man Sage hasn't been able to wrap around her little finger. Then Sage's family business, the Tyler Drilling Company, is threatened, and Sage and Harlan find themselves fighting side by side to save it...in quarters too close to keep passion at bay.
