Taking Charge

by Ruth Cardello

2016

The final Lone Star Burn book raises the heat with family duties, hard choices, and a couple who have to decide who is really in charge of their future.

Series background & context

Lone Star Burn brings Ruth Cardello's romantic style into Texas, where ranch life, stubborn pride, and big personalities do a lot of the work that corporate boardrooms do in her billionaire books. The mood is still contemporary romance, but the setting gives it a more grounded, country edge.

Across the series, love stories play out against family obligations, local loyalties, business pressure, and the kind of chemistry that makes people say the wrong thing before they admit the right one. There is wealth here too, but it sits closer to land, legacy, and hard-earned power than to penthouses and private jets.

The Texas setting matters.

It shapes the pace and the conflict. These books tend to feel hotter, rougher around the edges, and a little more tied to home soil. If you like Ruth Cardello but want cowboys, tycoons, and family sparks with a western-flavored backdrop, this is an easy branch to try.
