Not all families are equal, loving and kind as Becca Bass is about to discover when she meets the Northern branch of her mother’s kin in the final (for the moment) book in my Bass Family Saga.

Soon to be available for the first time in eBook

SWEET TEXAS DREAMS

Dana Ransom, Book 6 in the award-winning Bass Family Saga

Handsome, sophisticated New York attorney Morgan Daniels is everything shy Texas beauty Becca Bass has ever dreamed of in a man. Although a dangerous mission has brought Daniels west, Becca seizes the chance to escape the searing loneliness of her sheltered life by assuming a dangerous pretense.

Morgan Daniels needs someone to lead him into the desert to rescue his stepfather, a powerful industrialist who has been kidnapped for ransom. The legendary tracker Harmon Bass is injured, but his lovely daughter insists she’s the next best thing…and Morgan is desperate enough to believe her.

Here’s a taste of SWEET TEXAS DREAMS . . .

 The Excerpt 

“Whom have we here?”

The imperious voice shivered like fine crystal. Becca turned toward the speaker, tucking as she did, closer against Morgan’s side.

A tall, thin woman who wore her age like an elegant patina stood in the cavernous foyer quizzing them through thick spectacles. Magnified eyes of a watery blue held as much warmth as an iced-over pond. That didn’t change as Morgan performed the introductions.

“Mrs. Duncan, this is Becca Bass, Amanda’s daughter. Becca, this is your Aunt Millicent.”

Though there was no welcome in the old woman’s stare, a certain change came over it; a slow, speculative gleam that Becca recognized as greed.

( . . . and a bit more . . .)

“Becca, my dear, what a surprise this is. The family will be so thrilled to meet you. I’ll have a room prepared for you at once. Mr. Daniels make arrangements with the staff to have her belongings fetched. Come, child. This is a treat long overdue. Consider yourself one of us.”

Why did that proposal send a tremor down her spine?

Becca looked up one last time to Morgan, her gaze begging a last-minute appeal, but he stood firm and purposefully released her arm. Surrendering her up to the wolves.

Poor timid Becca is about to learn that family doesn’t mean friend.

I can’t wait to get this series back out to readers . . . and to finish a new book in the series featuring Randall, Becca’s hell-raising brother.

Happy Spring!!
