Tex Times Ten

Running from relationships was a surefire way to get caught in the marriage trap -- and ragged on by his brothers. But no matter what those rascals said, Tex Jefferson wasn't afraid of intimacy -- or good girls. And to prove he was man enough to avoid the now-and-forever bonds of wedlock, he planned to temporarily marry Cissy Kisserton, the prettiest, naughtiest man magnet in Texas. But somewhere between I do and make-believe bliss, his sinfully sexy wife became the most delectable, upright girl in town. Wicked she wasn't...so why was this love-'em-and-leave-'em cowboy tempted to accept forever -- with her?
