August's Heat

by T. Lee Garland

Daisy Mae Coleman is spending the summer after her college graduation at home on the farm in Kentucky. One sweltering evening she decides to cool off by taking a dip in her favorite swimming hole…only to discover a naked man has beat her to it. After his fiancée decides she’d rather be with an investment banker, cowhand August Henson leaves Texas in search of a new life. The last thing he had in mind when he took on a position at the Coleman farm was falling for the boss’s daughter. Passion ignites between Daisy and August, but soon the real world comes crashing in on them. Daisy’s father expects her to leave after the summer is over and find a job in the city. After all that is why she went to college, isn’t it? And August is from the great State of Texas…will a Kentucky farm girl be able to hold his attention long enough for him to want to stay? Whatever the outcome, one thing is for sure…it’s going to be one hell of a hot summer.

About the author

One of my first memories as a child is my Uncle Roy giving me a Little Golden book for my Birthday. That’s all it took, I was hooked on reading. I read my first romance book at seventeen and never looked back. I love a bad boy who doesn’t know how good he really is. As a matter of fact I married one! I love writing strong female characters who know what they want and aren’t afraid to go after it. I like some humor and of course always a happy ending. I have to have some heart. I love getting to share the characters in my head with others.I aspire to write bad boys as well as Anne Stuart, whose Ice Series is one of my favorites.

I share my home with about one hundred Barbies, countless books and movies, a rescued beagle named Samwise Gamgee (Sammie for short) and a plump, elderly cat named Coco. I am most proud of my two sons and the beautiful, talented ladies they married.

And in case you were wondering that Little Golden book is still one of my most priceless treasures…forty-seven years later.
