[Too Hard to Handle 01] • Texas Moon

To the citizens of Mineral Springs, Janice Harrison looks like a dowdy schoolmarm.

Then, Peter Mulloney catches a glimpse of Janice's silhouette and is surprised by hot desire. But, he has no time for a woman. He's working to finance the purchase of a mountain of gold and proving he has no need for his wealthy, corrupt family.

All Janice cares about is supporting and caring for her fragile little sister Betsy-and keeping her own secrets hidden. But beneath the silvery Texas moon, rugged Mulloney introduces excitement and danger and tender kisses. A man like Mulloney could keep her and Betsy safe... or shatter her soul, leaving her worse off than before.
