There's one rule for a one night stand: NEVER see your part-time lover again. EVER.

So what's a girl to do if the tall, dark, and too-darn-yummy guy shows up at her office?

By-the-book Deputy Susannah Quinn has all she can do to resist Special Agent D. E. Hogan.

Hang on to your Stetson as the fun and games begin in this sexy romp that's as hot as a bowl of Texas chili!

To catch a thief, Susannah Quinn, a by-the-book deputy, and FBI Special Agent D. E. Hogan (just call me Hogan), pose as husband and wife and go undercover. Unfortunately, Susannah and Hogan have already been undercover - in a bed at the Houston hotel where they first met.

For her part, Susannah wishes her lapse in judgment would take a flying leap and land on Jupiter. Hogan, on the other hand, wants to get the contrary deputy back in his bed, but the complications caused by family - his and hers - pretty much guarantee that's never going to happen.

Throw in an over-the-hill Romeo and his lady love, a single mom determined to have her own love affair, and the charm of a small Texas town, and you get a story with heart and soul and passion. Lots of passion.

Can Susannah and Hogan, two mismatched lovers doing everything in their power to avoid falling in love, catch a thief and recover stolen jewels? The clock is ticking. They have only seven days - and nights - to complete their assignment and resist the sweet siren call of desire.
