The Chase is On & The Durango Affair

Book excerpt: In this reader favorite from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson, a Westmoreland man falls hard for the girl next door… Something sure looks tempting, and for once, it isn’t something on his restaurant’s menu. Chase Westmoreland’s new neighbor Jessica Claiborne is as deliciously enticing as the confections she creates--so enticing, in fact, Chase is finding it difficult to concentrate on anything but the curve of her lips. Jessica can’t deny the heat that sparks every time Chase is near. But she has a secret, one that could destroy the desire she sees burning in his eyes. Yet if she wants a chance with Chase, she’ll have to reveal the truth and withstand the heat that will go way beyond the kitchen… First published in 2005.
