One Wild Night: The One and Only Texas, Book 5

One night with sweetheart and wild child Skye Martinez leaves country music superstar and confirmed bachelor Gentry Wells singing a new tune in Cutler’s entertaining fifth One and Only Texas contemporary (after If Santa Were a Cowboy). Struggling to finish his album by the deadline, Gentry finds his muse in Skye. Her free spirit and ignorance of his identity give him a chance to ditch his persona. Skye believes her failed marriage and miscarriage were punishments from God, and knows she should be modest and reserved “like the good Catholic woman she was raised to be,” but Gentry proves to be a temptation too hard to resist. Knowing he’s about to leave town, she agrees to one adventurous night with him. Given his life on the road and her plan to take over the family business in Dulcet, Tex., their relationship is more likely to end up as a sad country song than as a happily-ever-after. Sensitive issues of guilt and rejection are blended with kinky sex and the humorous antics of spitfire grannies, making this a well-balanced love story. Agent: Jessica Alvarez, BookEnds Literary.
