Kit Baron’s one weakness in life, her delectable step-cousin Des Baron, had become her only chance at freedom. Wrongly accused of murder, she needed his legal genius. But her need for him ran even deeper. Which disturbed her, for, finally free of the oppression of her domineering father, Kit had vowed never to be ruled by a man again. Still, she burned to surrender herself to Des. And when their white-hot attraction turned into an inferno of passion, she faced a challenge equal to proving her innocence—she would have to confess...her love.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Tess Baron knew she was in trouble the second she laid eyes on the mysterious—and oh-so-sexy—stranger. Why had Nick Trejo suddenly appeared, asking her for a private meeting?

Or could the treasure he'd been searching for his entire life be less precious than the treasure he'd just found—Tess's love? The Barons of Texas: Meet the Baron sisters—Tess, Jill and Kit. Inheriting the family fortune is easy. But what about falling in love?

THE PROPOSAL SHE COULDN’T REFUSE Texas tycoon Colin Wynne had wanted Jill Baron for two long years. So when she came to him for help, he made her a deal: in exchange for a small piece of land, Colin would transform Jill into a femme fatale guaranteed to nab the man of her dreams. But Colin had no intention of teaching her the ropes and then sending her into the arms of another man. His “lessons” were all about making Jill fall in love with him—and it was obviously working. Because before long, Colin knew his job as her teacher was finished—but his job as her husband was only beginning.
“Full of schadenfreude and speculation—and solid, timely history too.” —Kirkus Reviews “This is a portrait of capitalism as white-knuckle risk taking, yielding fruitful discoveries for the fathers, but only sterile speculation for the sons—a story that resonates with today's economic upheaval.” —Publishers Weekly “What's not to enjoy about a book full of monstrous egos, unimaginable sums of money, and the punishment of greed and shortsightedness?” —The Economist Phenomenal reviews and sales greeted the hardcover publication of The Big Rich, New York Times bestselling author Bryan Burrough's spellbinding chronicle of Texas oil. Weaving together the multigenerational sagas of the industry's four wealthiest families, Burrough brings to life the men known in their day as the Big Four: Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson, all swaggering Texas oil tycoons who owned sprawling ranches and mingled with presidents and Hollywood stars. Seamlessly charting their collective rise and fall, The Big Rich is a hugely entertaining account that only a writer with Burrough's abilities-and Texas upbringing-could have written.
