Introduction
Skye Titan's wealthy father thinks he can still dictate his daughter's choice in men. Now widowed and a single mother, Skye isn't the yes-girl she once was. Especially since the love of her life is back in Texas after eight long years. He won't like the answers to the questions he's asking. About why she left him at the altar. And about her eight-year-old daughter.
Former navy SEAL Mitch Cassidy comes home to find nearly everything different. His wounds from battle have changed the way people treat him. His cattle ranch is suddenly organic. But time hasn't touched his desire for Skye?or the sting of her betrayal. Forget lip service. He's asking that luscious mouth of hers to reveal the truth. But will Mitch be able to put the past aside to help Skye get out from under her father's thumb?and help himself recover from a broken heart?

Notes From the Author to the Bookclub
The Lone Star Sisters started with me wondering: “What would you get if you crossed Dallas with Sex and the City?” Three sisters, all loving, funny, modern women, and a throwback father who pits them against each other in a “winner takes all” contest for their inheritance. If they don't compete, their tyrant father might cut them all out of his will, and strangers will get their birthright, including the home that's been in their family for generations. At its core, UNDER HER SKIN is about allowing yourself to be vulnerable to love. Cruz is successful because he's a risk-taker in life and in business, but he's an emotional coward. Lexi challenges him from the start. In the end, he has to decide whether risking his heart is worth the reward. (Guess what I think.) LIP SERVICE is about fighting for what you want. Years ago, Skye turned her back on Mitch because her father pressured her to marry someone else. She was always the good girl, the obedient daughter. Now Mitch is back, filled with sadness and anger, and Skye has to fight for the man she still loves. The stories are emotional and filled with my trademark humor.Book Club Recommendations
