The Cowboy’s Unexpected Family

By Nicole Flockton

ingle mom Rebecca Dorchester swore she’d never chase another bad decision—until she packs up her daughter and her sentimental father for a risky reunion with the biological mother and half-sisters she never knew in Marietta, Montana. She definitely doesn’t need the complication of a rugged, heart-stopping cowboy who catches her little girl mid-tumble on day one. But one smoldering look from Harrison Drake, and Rebecca’s carefully guarded heart starts to thaw.

Harrison Drake’s ranch is his entire legacy—land, cattle, and the family name he’s always expected to pass down. Lately, though, the empty spaces in his life have been louder than the Montana wind. When he meets Rebecca and her daughter, he knows exactly what he’s been missing: a woman to love, a family to build.

With old wounds, family drama, and hard-won trust on the line, can Rebecca risk her heart again—and can Harrison prove that this time, love isn’t just another complication?


The Lady’s Forbidden Marquess

By Kristin Vayden

Rakes make the best husbands, or so she’s heard.

This season, Lady Peregrine intends to test that theory by choosing a rake to reform. The flirting is heady but reading between the lines is not so simple. She longs for passion and an interesting husband but discovers she’s not as worldly as she’d imagined.

Her brother fears his intelligent but stubborn sister is courting ruin. Rakes aren’t to be baited. He enlists the help of his oldest friend, Lord Hawthorne—a notorious rake–to both protect and teach her a lesson.

Lord Hawthorne avoids most polite society events. He’s not looking for a wife, but he cannot refuse his oldest friend. He intends to charm the impetuous beauty and turn the tables, hopefully changing her mind. But he underestimates the power of her sharp wit, innocence and discerning nature. She sees through his rake’s facade to his true self.The seducer is seduced, endangering his heart and hard-built reputation.

As jealous eyes watch and scheme and society judges, both Lady Peregrine and Lord Hawthorne dance on the edge of scandal if they court or if they don’t.


The Cowboy’s Pretend Bride

By Megan Crane

It was supposed to be a favor. It was never supposed to feel real.

When the Colorado ranch Finn Patrick expected to inherit is sold, he follows his sister to Cowboy Point to meet the half-siblings they never knew existed. Time to figure out what comes next.

Kitty Bennett isn’t part of the plan. Sharp-tongued, wary-eyed, and fiercely protective of her family’s beloved Mountain Mama pizza shop, Kitty has no time for distractions. Especially volcanically hot ones.

But when her otherwise wonderful landlord makes it clear Kitty needs a husband if she wants to buy the restaurant at last, Finn is the obvious choice—because nothing about his stay in Montana is permanent. They can fake the whole thing. She’s confident she and Finn are on the same page, and the plan will go smoothly.

The only problem?

Finn has wanted Kitty in every possible way. He’s wanted her since he first laid eyes on her. And he knows exactly what he tastes when he kisses her—forever. Now he needs to convince her that there’s nothing fake about them, after all.

After her mother’s deathphotographer Erica Barrett, buys a home she and her mother obsessed over during her childhood in the quaintly historical town of Tolstone. Her magnetic next door neighbor intrigues and disturbs her. The sensual pull feels otherworldly.

Erica’s arrival is dangerous. The attraction is fierce and instant, but duty comes first.

When revelations about Erica’s past and parentage create chaos, and she questions everything she thought she knew about herself, Dominic is her strength.

But before he can beg forgiveness for the lies he told to protect her, danger bursts back into their world. His mission isn’t over—and now the target is Seneca.

Ex-con Seneca Daniels came to Restoration Ranch to rebuild her life, not fall for a man with secrets. Betrayed before, she swore never to risk her heart—or her freedom—again.

As risks escalate and passions flare, Colton puts it all on the line to keep her safe. But Seneca’s no one’s damsel—especially when she just might be the deadliest threat of all.

Texas heat ignites a scorching affair neither saw coming. But when danger closes in and Paul’s cover is blown, Vanessa must decide: walk away from the summer fling… or fight for a love that could last forever?

Dan once vowed to guard his heart against Cassidy’s sharp edges and city ambitions. Yet beneath her independence, he sees the compassionate woman who loves this land as fiercely as he does.

As the crisis deepens and small-town ties pull tight, Cassidy must choose: the life she built in the city… or the cowboy vet who feels like home.

The Cowboy Contract

by Paula Altenburg

When a high-end, off-the-grid, Wild West themed ghost town needs a country singer for an elite international client, Burning Scrub has two months to turn a reluctant country star into a cowboy with a hit record.

Winner of a national vocal competition Beau Jones hates country music and the recording contract hanging over his head. But his family needs the prize money. His agent books him into a remote Montana ranch for two months to polish his brand, teach him how to cowboy up and record a country record whether Beau agrees or not. When Beau wakes up in a frontier jail, watched by a beautiful jailer, he resolves to be the worst cowboy this town has ever seen.

Internal medicine doctor Belle Forsythe is tasked with keeping Beau out of trouble. She has no interest in celebrities or country music. She has a five-year contract, which will pay off her medical school debt. Until then she’s determined to keep her twenty-first-century doctoring skills current and research nineteenth-century medical practices.

Belle’s resolved to her fate until Beau. He’s an advertisement for trouble and she can’t wait.


Jackson

Enter Texas Ranger Jackson Dean—gritty, gorgeous, surly, and oh so sexy. Babysitting a VIP’s niece isn’t exactly his idea of a career-making case, but one look at Aja Everett, and he knows he’s in trouble. She’s straight out of his scorching fantasies and twice as stubborn. She doesn’t listen, doesn’t back down, and drives him wild in every possible way.

As danger circles the ranch and tempers flare hotter than a Texas heatwave, Jackson’s protective instincts war with a desire that refuses to be contained. Because keeping Aja safe is his mission. Wanting her? That’s becoming his undoing.
