Long, Tall Texans: Coltrain & Long, Tall Texans: Marshall

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer revisits two classic tales of unexpected passion Long, Tall Texans: Coltrain, originally published in 1995 as Coltrain’s Proposal. Doctors Jebediah Coltrain and Louise Blakely have been arch-enemies for years. Ever since Louise’s father had cruelly betrayed Jeb years ago, he’s plotted his revenge—and he’ll stop at absolutely nothing to get it. His plan? To convince lovely Louise to marry him, then to bring her and her family down for good. But the good doctor never counted on falling for his fake fiancée and breaking his own rules of engagement. Long, Tall Texans: Marshall, originally published in 1998 as The Princess Bride Kingman Marshall knows he’s too old, too jaded, and too burdened with secrets for fresh, youthful Tiffany Blair. And Tiffany’s not the kind of girl for just one night of passion; she’s an innocent, made for walking down the aisle to her groom. But Kingman is the only one Tiffany wants, and she’ll stop at nothing to make him hers…forever!
