Books like Crazy for lovin' you by Teresa Southwick

In Destiny, Texas, teenage Taylor Stevens confesses her love to the enigmatic Mitch Rafferty, only to be rebuffed and told she kisses like a child. Mortified, she forces a playful escape into a pool, but fate turns when Mitch notices how much she has changed. Now a striking woman, Taylor has matured and her confidence grows. Mitch, once baffled by her youthful enthusiasm, is intrigued by her newfound presence. He wonders whether she will leave her past behind and remain in his world long enough to see whether he can reciprocate her feelings, or whether she will forever chase the excitement of her past. The story explores the dynamic of a woman rancher confronting love and identity in the rugged setting of Texas, and the possibilities of growth when two reluctant partners meet on a path that may either divide or unite them.
