"When I'm with you, I get the feeling"

In the early 1990's of a small Texas town, an aspiring bull rider and the spirited daughter of a wealthy Oil Landman bump heads. Her father's itching to snag his family's land, while the Bailard's refuse to sell.

A blues that not even the light, sweet smell of bluebonnets can heal.

SEQUEL TO THE ART OF MANIPULATION Jonika thought the bullet ended everything-his empire, his hold on her heart, and the man she loved but was forced to betray. She tried to rebuild, to bury the grief under the illusion of a normal life. But grief doesn't stay buried. It claws. It festers. And some ghosts don't stay dead. When fate drags Jonika back into the shadows she thought she'd escaped, she finds herself hunted by the very man she once destroyed. His face is the same, his eyes colder, his love and fury tangled into something she can't escape. Now she doesn't know if he has returned to reclaim her heart... or claim her life.
