The McKettricks of Texas: Austin by Linda Lael Miller

Randy, rowdy Austin McKettrick has ridden his last bull. He might have lasted the 8 seconds, but the bull won in the end. Filled with guilt and anger, Austin is taken home to the Silver Spur by his brothers to recuperate. Old flame Paige, also a nurse, is residing in the guest room while her residence is undergoing remodeling. Insisting on rest to restore his injured back, the brothers hire Paige Remington to keep an eye on Austin, hopefully to keep him out of more trouble. There is trouble on the ranch though. Rustlers are stealing and killing off the cattle. Someone is messing with capped off oil wells. Paige has her hands full trying to keep Austin out of the mix of things. Will the old romance flame up? Who has a grudge or ill feelings toward the Silver Spur owners? Will the scheduled double wedding for New Year's Eve become a triple wedding? A pretty good read.
