TEXAS COLD CASE: Colt Chance is shot while in the middle of a government sting case in Southern California for the Junior Justice Department as an attorney when he spots a woman who looks like his kidnapped sister, Cami. Cami has been missing since the age of 4 and the Chance family brothers have been searching for her for over twenty years. His injury in his back has Colt convalescing back at the Bar C Ranch near Chance, Texas. He is determined to find their baby sister and prove their mother's murderer was not their father. Teaming up with his high school sweetheart, also the sheriff's step-daughter who is a deputy, begins their suspicions of Sheriff McCord's involvement. Lacie and Colt are caught up in dodging bullets and being hunted, which only whets their determination to find the truth of the murder and Lacie's hated step-father's involvement. Attempting to stay alive while rekindling their hot love affair keeps the adrenaline pumping.

TEXAS LOST AND FOUND: Firefighter with the Interagency Hotshot Crews, Nina Martinez, has flashbacks of gentle people calling her Cami and later horrendous abuse from others. The only family Cami has had since the age of 9 or 10, is gone. Her foster mom, Yolanda, and Yolanda's son are both dead leaving her with no one. The Hotshot doctor, Josh White, is the only one she even remotely trusts. Called to Texas to aid in a fire, Nina nearly succumbs to a tornado fire. Nearly dead, Josh is her savior and vows to protect her with his life. Prior to the tornado fire, Nina witnessed the murder of a woman and can identify the killer. Sheriff Lacie Chance is called in to work with the witness at the hospital. This is the beginning of Josh and Nina on the run for their lives from the hired guns of the murderer. Chased, shot at and run off the road is only the beginning. Back in Chance country is where Nina might find her life, family and deeply desired love with Josh.

These two last stories are an exceptional ending to the Chance Texas saga. I have followed this family from the beginning and am sad to find it has come to an end . I have thoroughly enjoyed this exciting series through all the sexy and rugged cowboys in the family. Each story has been filled with hot sex and emotional turmoil along with all the excitement a reader could want. Linda Conrad has the vision and talent to bring her characters to life for the reader. This series is a great read! I know with confidence that any book I choose by this author will always be a fulfilling and great read.

Author Note

Dear Readers,

I have really enjoyed writing the Chance, Texas series. It's been so much fun creating characters that seem like a few of the people I met while living in Texas. I *heart* Texans! My thanks to so many of you for writing to say you have loved reading these stories.

In case this will be your first Chance, Texas book, here's a little about the background of the Chance family:

The Chance family has owned the mega Bar-C ranch in Chance County Texas for nearly a hundred years. About twenty years ago the owner at that time, Jacob Chance, was arrested, tried and sentenced for his wife's murder. He died in prison, leaving six children on their own to run the Bar-C. The children were devastated and for a while they barely managed to hold things together. One son was killed in a ranching accident and the only daughter was spirited away by their mother's sister during the first year.

The four surviving brothers, Sam, Travis, Gage and Colt, stay on the ranch to finish school, each finding their own way of moving on without their parents. The oldest brother Sam heads off to the army (see TEXAS BABY SANCTUARY April 2012.) Travis learns to run the ranch with an iron will (see TEXAS MANHUNT May 2012.) Gage dedicates his life to finding their baby sister and becomes a private investigator (see A CHANCE REUNION in Christmas Confidential anthology December 2012.)

That brings us to the final book in the series: LAST CHANCE REUNION August 2013

After finishing high school, the youngest brother Colt decides he hates living on the ranch. He leaves, becoming a federal attorney, and vows to stay away from Chance, Texas and the Bar-C ranch for good. But there are still a few mysteries for Colt to solve in Chance. Eventually, he must find out who really murdered his mother and framed his father. He also wants to know why his high school sweetheart left him without a word of goodbye. And finally there is one last puzzle for the Chance family to solve. What happened to the kidnapped baby sister they'd named Cami and lost when she was only four?

LAST CHANCE REUNION is organized a little differently than the other books. I was in a hurry to let you read these last two stories of Colt and Cami so I put them both in one book. TEXAS COLD CASE is Colt's story and TEXAS LOST AND FOUND is the story of bringing Cami home.

Enjoy your reading!
