“I love her books!”—Linda Lael MillerNew York Times bestselling author Kat Martin raises chills as danger stalks a woman determined to make it in a man’s world . . .Five weeks ago Carly Drake stood at her grandfather’s grave.

Faced with bankruptcy, phone threats and the fear of failure, Carly … threats and the fear of failure, Carly has to team up with the last man she wants to owe—Lincoln Cain.
Cain is magnetic, powerful, controlling—and hiding more than one secret. He promised Carly’s granddad he’d protect her. The old man took a chance on him when he was nothing but a kid with a record, and now he’s the multi-millionaire owner of a rival firm.
But Linc’s money can’t protect Carly from the men who’ll do anything to shut her down, or the secrets behind Drake Trucking. If she won’t sell out, the only way to keep her safe is to keep her close . . . and fight like hell.

Love Kat Martens books
Kat Martin’s newest romantic suspense novel, BEYOND REASON is exciting from the word go. This adrenaline pounding, quick read is full of action packed adventure and of course, brewing with hot steamy sex.
Carly Drake wasn’t prepared for the terror that awaited her when she gave up her cushy job as a flight attendant. Relocating from California to her hometown in Texas meant abandoning the word-traveling and luxurious shopping she had grown accustomed to. As the new owner of Drake Trucking, she not only inherited her grandfather’s business, but his debts, too.
Lincoln Cain had promised Joe Drake that he’d look out for his granddaughter. All man, the virile multi-millionaire thought he’d save Carly some major headaches when he offered to buy Drake Trucking. Intrigued by the courageous beauty who refused to sign over the business to him, he vowed to protect her from the dangerous El Jafe, who along with his gang of thugs, threatened her business and her life.
BEYOND REASON is awesome. If you’re a fan of romantic suspense, Kat Martin has gifted her readers with a winner. Happy reading!
Money & Power vs. Secrets, Fear & Determination…Kat Martin has always been one of my favorites, especially in the Romantic Suspense genre. I fell in love with the hero, Linc-tall, massive muscles & piercing eyes & stubborn as a rock. The heroine, Carly, was just as hardheaded & fell for Linc, despite her terrible luck with men & her fight against Linc’s business & money power trying to keep her grandfather’s Drake trucking business afloat & the men who wanted to shut her down by kidnapping & murder. The romance was perfect between Linc & Carly. The characters & sub characters, the sheriff I wanted to punch in the nose, were well described along with the plot of the story. I really had a hard time putting the book down. Can be read as a stand-alone or the series. I’m for reading the whole series since I want to find out who Beau, Linc’s business partner, gets paired with.
The story was good but the language and characters quickly jumping into bed was distracting to the story.
Loved it! Could not put it down.
Written in “edge of your seat” style Kat Martin always achieves.
Thrilling Story filled with intrigue and romance!
I always get a thrill of anticipation when a new series by Kat Martin becomes available! She is an expert at creating alluring characters and involving them in fascinating plot twists that keep a reader intrigued until the very last page of the story. That is exactly what happened to me as I lost myself in the pages of Beyond Reason, the first book in Ms. Martin’s Texas Trilogy series. I greatly recommend this first book of the series and I eagerly anticipate reading the entire trilogy.
