In the second book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown’s beloved Texas! trilogy, readers meet another son of the troubled Tyler clan—Chase Tyler, a man hardened by life and desperately trying to outrun the sorrows of his past. Chase Tyler has been the object of Marcie Johns’s desire since grade school. But when it came time to settle down, the handsome, laconic cowboy chose another woman to be his bride. Life was good for Chase—until things took an abrupt and tragic turn. Ravaged by grief, Chase has become a lost and embittered soul, a man without purpose, compassion, or hope. Then fate intercedes, reuniting Chase and Marcie, who was an unwitting player in Chase’s unfathomable family tragedy. Guilt weighs heavily on Marcie, but she’s also convinced that only the strength of her love can pull Chase back from the abyss. She’s willing to risk everything on a daring plan to rescue his business, save his life, and bring them together at last.

"How sad this book is. I mean the way Chase's whole life gets destroyed with one stupid mistake on the road. But as they say what comes around goes around. The same person who was driving the car that killed his wife and kid is the same person who Chase will fall in love with. But once the secret is out how will Chase deal with Marcie's deception. Well I can't tell you everything your going to have to read all about it in this great book called Texas! Chase."

" I loved the twists and turns of this story. The suspense with the stalker was an added bonus. "
— Lisa, 2/15/2014" Loved the emotional aspect of this book. Great concept. The first book in this series was more humorous, but this one had its moments of humor. Great read! "
— Alison, 2/4/2014" Not really a bad book but to me it was alittle predictable. I am awaiting the other 2 to this series "
— Christel, 2/4/2014" A book that should be placed in the same shelf as Stephen King's Misery. As another reviewer said, this book was creepy. The heroine has been in love with the hero since kindengarden (that's around 6 years old?). 30 years later she is still in love with him, even though he never showed any interest other than friendship for her; what's more he fell in love and married someone else. Still Marcie didn't get over him. However two years after his pregnant wife was killed in an accident, she proposes to him marriage in exchange for the money he needs to save his family business. As it turns out, Marcie has bought the house Chase and his first wife planned on buying. Based also on her admission, she has furnished it in the style she thought Chase liked, as she always believed they would end up together living in this great house. All those years, she has learned Chase's favorite drink, food, decorating style, music: EVERYTHING. And she, has believed for 30 years, that she is the right woman for him and that God owes it to her to bring them together; even when he married someone else. If that's not the definition of a stalker, I don't know what it is. This book does not belong in the romance department; rather in the psychological thrillers. "
— Fani, 2/4/2014" The second in the triology, I was happy to see Chase come back to life. I was a little disturbed by Marcie, for me she was almost a fatal attraction with the house she bought but at the end I guess I could see it. I did like the way Chase worked through his experience and of course the family support was wonderful to read about. "
— Tasha, 1/29/2014" What a ride! I am so glad Chase got his head out of his butt and saw what was in front of him. Marcie is such a great friend to help the Tylers out. I enjoy this family so much and can't wait to read more about what they are all up to. Lauren has great kids. "
— Christine, 1/10/2014" I hated that Tanya had been killed off in the first book. But what I really hated in this book was suffering through Chase's selfish, self serving moodiness in the first half of the reading. I really really wanted to just put it down several times. There's only so much idiocy I can take. "
