Hotter Than Texas

Perfection takes time, but desire waits for no man. Or woman…

With more than one skeleton rattling in her closet, Sugar Cassevechia hopes “The Most Honest Town in Texas” will be the perfect place to start an online business. As soon as her mother remembers the family recipe that’ll get hotterthanhellnuts.com off the ground.

In the meantime, no way is Sugar letting their new landlord get away with renting them a run-down house that’s decorated like a rich widow’s orgasm. Even if he’s the biggest hunk of hot she’s ever laid eyes on.

Jake Bentley would love to do nothing but sit back and be amused as the Cassevechia women unwittingly stir up trouble in his uptight town. But something about them thaws out his frozen rescue complex. Especially Sugar’s long, chestnut hair and sassy mouth.

Right about the time Sugar figures one steamy night in Jake’s bed won’t hurt, another skeleton joins the party in the form of a dead body in the “Belle Watling” room. And Sugar must decide if her family’s reputation—and her own heart—are safe with Jake.

"Hotter than Texas, is witty, charming, sexy, and fun. I found myself very wrapped up in this story and I could imagine living in Pecan Creek with its prim and proper outside, and its steamy, sexy inside."
-4 Stars True Gem, Slick, Guilty Pleasures
"What a hilarious book! All its sexual innuendoes and great characters had me on the floor laughing through this wild reading ride. I am so looking forward to the next two Pecan Creek episodes, mainly because of the humour."
-Bookloons Reviews
"Sugar is a heroine for today’s romance reader: a strong woman who remains true to herself. This latest romance from Leonard makes a nice addition to a basic contemporary romance collection."
-Library Journal, Heather Lisa Maneiro, Minnesota State Univ. Lib.‚ Moorhead

Branded by a Callahan

Settle Down, Cowboy!

Marriage isn’t in Dante Callahan’s short-term plans. But Ana St. John is! After the gorgeous nanny bodyguard-and woman of his fantasies-turns the tables and seduces him, Dante is suddenly corralling his inner wild man. Now Ana is having his baby…and refusing to say “I do!”

There’s no denying Ana’s powerful feelings for Dante. But is the footloose rancher-and the hottest cowboy in New Mexico-ready to hang up his spurs for married life? According to the legend of the magic wedding dress, he’s not.

Dante’s not one to fool with family lore. But he’s got to provide a major Cinderella moment to win over his prospective bride. He may be crazy for pulling out all the stops to get Ana to marry him-but that’s part of the fun of being a Callahan!

"The Callahan saga continues with plenty of humor and heart." -4 Stars, RT Book Reviews
