Book excerpt: THE COMEBACK KID When she was a lovestruck teenager, Taylor Stevens bared her soul to Mitch Rafferty. But instead of sweeping her into his arms, the tortured rebel with the bad-boy blue eyes told her she kissed like a little girl. Mortified, Taylor shoved Mitch into the pool…cowboy boots and all! Now the tables were turned and—holy smoke!—Mitch couldn’t believe his eyes. From scrawny kid to stunning woman, Taylor had sure grown up…and Mitch was itchin’ to kiss her again. But the contrary cowgirl swore she’d been crazy for ever lovin’ him. Would this lonesome drifter stick around Destiny, Texas, long enough to prove her wrong?
