Texas Rose
by Marie Ferrarella

LSCC Member: Urban cowboy Matt Carson

SOCIAL STATUS: Unencumbered bachelor
(But not for long . . .?)

METHOD OF SEDUCTION: Reigniting a forbidden flame with his smooth-talkin' charm and sizzling caresses.

Matt Carson was livid when Rose Wainwright inexplicably broke off their clandestine love affair and skipped town. Because of the longtime Carson-Wainwright family feud, he'd known that there would be Texas-size trouble if their secret tryst came to light. Apparently it had, because Rose's tyrannical daddy was on the warpath and Matt's beloved was on the lam. Driven by a code of honor -- and unquenched desire -- Matt traded in his saddle for a subway pass to reclaim his scandalized lady amid the bright lights of the Big Apple. But would his chivalrous crusade withstand a life-altering revelation . . . and their hell- raising families?

Marie Ferrarella's Bio

Born in West Germany, arrived in the U.S. at four, I began writing when I was eleven. I began selling many years after that. Along the way, I acquired a Masters in Shakespearean Comedy from Queens College in N.Y, a husband and two kids (in that order)---the dog came later. My first romance was bought by Second Chance At Love November of 1981. The road from there to here has a hundred and thirty-seven more sales to it. I've been published by Silhouette, Harlequin, Zebra, Harper, Bantam and Berkeley. I've been fortunate enough to have received several Rita nominations from the Romance Writers of America Association over the years, with one win for Father Goose (in the Traditional Romance Category). I've also been nominated several times in various categories by Romantic Times Magazine. I hope to be found one day---many, many years from now---slumped over my computer, writing to the last moment. But before then, I would dearly love to write a successful screenplay. My goal has always been to entertain. Entertainment Weekly 2015 named me the fifth most prolific romance author of all time---and I have since moved up to the fourth position, having published 296 works.
