Castles of Dallas

Annabelle Castle is a rebel without a cause...until her stepsister, the head of the glamorous Castle Department store, offers her the chance of a lifetime. Too bad the opportunity to finally play a role in the Castle's future comes with strings attached-the man who gets under her skin. Former cop Johnny Darrow is head of security for the Texas-based Castles. He excels at his job and nothing gets to him...except Annabelle. Even as he dragged Annabelle out of many public relations disasters with the paparazzi, he knew there was so much more to her than the headline-grabbing, rich girl. Now that she's matured and determined to turn over a new leaf, he finds her irresistible. She's smart, creative, and makes him feel things he hasn't after a personal tragedy. When Johnny's assigned a job as Annabelle's bodyguard, he must push his feelings aside. Can Johnny keep his focus to protect Annabelle or will his feelings for her put everything at risk?

After making a serious misjudgment about the man she was about to marry, Cara escaped to the one place she always felt safe—her family's ranch. She wants to evade the paparazzi and hide her near disastrous mistake from her family, while she tries to figure out what's next. In need of peace after a tumultuous year supervising the building of Castle's first technology store, Aidan Castle escapes to the Double L Ranch. When he enters the den, he's shocked to find a woman sleeping in a wedding dress. Worse, he recognizes her as the beautiful socialite he kissed at Castle's costume ball. He'd felt that night was special and when Cara left, he'd lost a little piece of his heart. Cara has no place to go, and Aidan's not sure he wants to kick her out. When a winter storm traps them in, their attraction and bond become undeniable. Cara opens up and Aidan can't resist playing white knight and offering to scrub all details of her secret love life to save grace with her powerful brother. But then, he discovers secrets that make him question everything. Can he trust her?
