Houston

Tess Spencer wants nothing to do with the military.  The death of her twin, David, has given her a fear of anything to do with it.  When she buys some furniture for one of her family's restaurants, however, she finds a laptop computer in it that will change her life.  Captain Cole Harrington, recently returned from Iraq to try to salvage his failing business, owns the laptop that was deliberatly hidden in the furniture lot.  He has a lot more on his mind than romance, and suspects that Tess may be involved in the people who are trying to ruin him in business.....

We meet Liberty Jones at 15, in her Texas trailer park home, where she meets and falls into deep infatuation with bad-boy Hardy Cates.  (We're told he's a badass, but through Liberty's eyes he's all blue-eyed kindness.)   Although there's a connection, Hardy won't allow himself to get involved.  He has ambitions, and soon after he leaves town Liberty's mother is killed and she takes over guardianship of her baby sister.  A beauty shop apprenticeship takes her to Houston where she meets the powerful Travis family.  A coincidence or something more?  Eventually she accepts a job as PA to the family patriarch.  People -- including his eldest son, the enigmatic and very alpha Gage -- assume he's her Sugar Daddy but there's more to this relationship than meets the eye.
