The Charmer in Chaps (The Princes of Texas)

Product Description

A Texas Prince Meets His Match…
 
Cimarron County knows the youngest son of the fabled Prince family as a womanizing hell-raiser, but Luca has changed and he intends to prove it. There’s just one problem—a woman with sparkling eyes and more fight than a barnyard cat.
 
After a childhood of living in foster homes, Ella Kendall has exactly three things to her name: A dog, a pig, and the rundown house she just inherited. Luca may not remember her from high school, but she definitely remembers him. He is as seductive as he was then, but Ella isn’t about to fall for his flirting
. She recognizes a playboy cowboy when she sees one.
 
Luca knows Ella has learned the hard way to trust no one but herself. Yet the closer he gets to Ella, the more he wants to be the only one she leans on. Because Ella is the only woman for him, and he wants to be the man who finally gives her the home she truly deserves.

“London deftly dishes up another irresistible mix of zingy humor, engaging characters (including a funny and feisty heroine and a smoking hot hero with a heart-of-gold), and sexy romance in the second not-to-be-missed addition to her A Princes of Texas series, following
The Charmer in Chaps (2019), making this an excellent suggestion for fans of Susan Elizabeth Phillip’s brilliant contemporary romances.”—
