Body Heat

The heat never lets up as dangerous desires are rekindled in this sizzling tale of love, betrayal, and murder.
 
Never look back. Those are words Curt Brennermen lives by. He went from riches to rags, and now he’s back on top as the owner of one of the world’s fastest-growing oil conglomerates. But success comes at a steep price. Back home on East Texas soil, he’s face-to-face with unfinished business. Curt’s just been hit with a murder charge . . . and the only one who can help him clear his name is the girl who got away.
 
Lyn Tyrell will never forgive Curt for walking out on her. But the hell-raising cowboy who taught her the meaning of the word passion needs her in the worst way. Someone killed a man in cold blood and set Curt up to take the fall. At least, that’s what he is claiming. Lyn can’t believe the man she once loved is a murderer, but trusting him with her heart again is something else—unless Curt can show her he’s finally ready for a second chance.
