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.

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.

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.

And Matilda? She’s done waiting. If this is real, she’s not letting him walk away.

Not without a fight.

What’s better than a secret baby? Check in with Megan Crane and revisit Cowboy Point!

What’s better than a secret baby?

How about a baby left on the doorstep of a smoking hot cowboy who has no plans to settle down—or even stick around?

If you’ve been reading along with my Careys of Cowboy Point series, you’ve already met the youngest of the Carey brothers, Knox. Knox is the baby of the family—but he’s also a bit of a mystery. Over the course of the series we’ve seen hints that he had something going on with the new doctor in the small community in the hills above Marietta, Ramona Taylor. We’ve also heard his older brothers’ commentary about that connection… and really everything else.

Older brothers are a man’s best friends—and his harshest critics.

But this Christmas, it’s time for Knox to come into his own.

Let’s set the scene: It’s Christmas Eve and there’s snowstorm, because it’s December in the Rocky Mountains. Knox’s power goes out, which doesn’t bother him much. He’s a Montanan born and bred. Power outages go with the territory.

It’s not the power or the generator that gets to him. It’s the strange sound he hears outside his door. It sounds like a baby—and there are a lot of baby’s around High Mountain Ranch of late, thanks to the year his brothers have had—but there shouldn’t be a baby on his doorstep. He is perfectly happy being an uncle, thank you.

But when he opens the door, all he can see is the swirling snow—coming down hard—and a sweet little baby wrapped up against the cold. 

Not a parent in sight.

Obviously, he scoops her up and brings her inside at once.

But he doesn’t know how long she was out there. He doesn’t know if she’s okay. He runs through a list of his closest family members—geographically speaking—but the ones he think could come help him know as much about babies as he does. That won’t help if the poor little thing needs medical attention.

There is one other person he could call, but that presents a complication.

Because Knox and the good doctor Ramona have been on and off for a year and a half now, and Ramona was crystal clear that this last round of off was off for good.

He knows he shouldn’t call her—but he also knows what a good doctor she is.

Neither one of them is expecting to get snowed in.

Or that Christmas might find a way to work its magic on the two of them after all…

I hope that you all have enjoyed your time in Cowboy Point with the Careys! I’ve had such a great time writing these stories. And I intend to write a whole lot more! The first book in my next Cowboy Point series comes out in February and, yes, will feature some familiar faces. I can’t wait!

Happy Reading!

A holiday getaway forces them together—but will Christmas magic be enough to keep them from saying goodbye?

Jack Allen, the newest investor in Cabins in the Pines Resort, is ready to celebrate the season. Between the sleigh rides, the Winter Wonderland festival, and a special countdown to a new baby for the resort’s owners, Christmas in Fairwood, Arizona, promises to be unforgettable. But when his best friend’s sister arrives—reluctantly and with zero holiday spirit—Jack’s plans take an unexpected turn.

Dr. Ella Brent-Collingsworth has no interest in festive celebrations. With her demanding career as a physician, she sees her trip to Fairwood as nothing more than a brief family visit before she moves on to the next chapter of her life. But a sudden winter storm derails her plans, leaving her snowed in at the resort with the most infuriatingly charming man she’s ever met.

When an unexpected challenge threatens the resort’s holiday events, Jack and Ella are forced to work together. As the Christmas magic settles in, so do feelings neither of them saw coming. But when Ella’s dream job in California calls, she must decide—return to the future she’s worked for or risk everything for a love that feels like home?


It’s not the typical Christmas plan…

Ally Jones made a death bed promise to her friend who’d given her a home and shelter since she was a teen. When the older woman finally succumbed to cancer, Ally would take her ashes and spread them on a special spot in Destiny River, Texas. Still grieving, she and her canine companion leave New York City, weeks before Christmas, never anticipating that the town she’d heard so much about for many years could sprinkle seasonal magic that would change her life. And then in a heartbeat and squeal of worn brakes, Ally’s life spins in a new direction.

Widower Sheriff Matthew Parker and his daughter, Jillie, are fine, despite the conviction of his small town’s female population that he must be in search of a wife. He’s not. His sister jokes that he should hire a fake fiancé for Christmas. Not funny. Then he witnesses a horrific car accident, and when he pulls the victim free and gazes into her stunning eyes, he sees an unexpected future.

Destiny? Impossible. How can fate unfurl happy-ever-afters for two non-believers?


Will this Christmas gift the possibility of love or yet another disappointment…

It’s the week before Christmas, and bestselling middle grade author Sutton Leigh is desperate to escape. She longs to rekindle her holiday spirit, but her meddlesome family is determined to keep pushing random bachelors on her so that she’s not alone for the holidays. Humiliating. But worse, a grumpy – but undeniably handsome single father–crashes her book signing and angrily demands that she stop communicating with his daughter. Sutton has no idea who his daughter is. She flees family and chaos to find her holiday bliss in a cozy, snow-capped Vermont resort – only to come face-to-face with the man who nearly ruined her release.

Middle school guidance counselor Drew Chambers is worried about his daughter Oaklynn’s blind devotion to Sutton, and now he can’t stop thinking about the intriguing woman.  They call a truce for Oaklynn’s sake, so that they can each enjoy the holidays. Sparks kindle amidst twinkling lights, meddling relatives, and an unexpected blizzard. Will Sutton and Drew find love – or will their holiday magic melt away with the snow?


She’s a no-nonsense cowgirl. He’s Hollywood charm with a second shot. But this Christmas in Texas, the heart might be the biggest wildcard.

Former barrel racer Riley Garrett is a sixth generation Texan, and a lifelong cowgirl. She’s kicked the unfortunate blip of her failed wedding into the dust, is happy running her family’s ranch, and prospering in more ways than one. So when a smooth talking, far too handsome outsider unexpectedly arrives in Last Stand during the holidays full of starry schemes he says will help her family and ranch along with the town, Riley’s beyond skeptical.

Producer Miles Flint is a Hollywood success by any measure, even though his biggest hit imploded when his star quit to build a new life with his young son in small town Texas. He cut his losses and moved on until he’s given a second chance to reboot his hit show the way he originally wanted to do it. No compromises.

But convincing a stubborn cowgirl who’s distractingly fascinating that he can be trusted is going to take all of his persuasive powers plus the magic of a Hill Country Christmas to find a hit happily ever after for both of them.


When commitment-allergic Knox Carey finds an abandoned baby on his doorstep on Christmas Eve, he doesn’t think twice. He scoops her up, but quickly realizes he needs help.

The only person he can call is Dr. Ramona Taylor—the closest thing to a hospital in Cowboy Point. Sure, they broke up. More than once. And she made her opinion of his “emotional constipation” very clear. But Knox figures while she might want to set him on fire—and not in a fun way—the baby will inspire her to keep the lighter fluid at bay.

Not necessarily. Knox broke Ramona’s heart. It’s as simple as that. But her medical training—and the feelings she can’t outrun—won’t let her walk away. Still, seeing Knox cradle a baby like the future she once wanted with him? It kills her.

Worse, a raging snowstorm traps her with him in a picture-perfect version of the life she knows can never be hers.

But it’s Christmas in Cowboy Point. And if ever there were a time for miracles, this might be it…


Charlotte Barnes’s rare solo weekend is interrupted by an unexpected guest, Jaxon Miles. Though their families have feuded for years, the single-mom enjoys a weekend fling with the sexy rodeo star while snowed in. But what was supposed to end with goodbye turns into a business opportunity she simply can’t turn down.

Jaxon Miles has had a crush on Charlotte since they were knee-high to a grasshopper, so the house-sitting gig that turns into sexy times with her is an early Christmas present. But he returns home to learn that his rodeo career may be over, an ending Jaxon is desperate to avoid. And what better way to keep his options open than a business collaboration with Charlotte?

So this December, they’re making plans to launch a joint venture and tip-toeing around both their family feud and Marietta’s misconceptions about the rebel cowgirl. But when a Santa with money bags appears, one of their dreams is granted and the other crushed. Can Jaxon and Charlotte make a way for both their Christmas wishes under the same starry sky?


When a festive Christmas party turns deadly, a single mom and a brooding stranger must unravel a chilling mystery before the killer strikes again.

But when the town librarian collapses, poisoned during the festivities, Nina finds herself pulled into a deadly mystery.

Still recovering from a life-altering accident, horticulturist Kyle Walker is drifting until fate throws him into Nina’s path. Despite their differences, her determination and his keen eye make them an unexpectedly strong team. As they investigate, long-buried grudges surface, and the motives, ranging from greed to revenge, run deeper than they imagined.

With danger mounting and sparks flying, Nina and Kyle must stop a killer before they become the next targets.


In the small town of Hazard, sometimes love is the greatest Christmas miracle.

Alina McAllister is starting fresh in the charming town of Hazard, Rhode Island, with a simple plan: take a docent job at the Historical Society and embrace the magic of the season. But when her landlady Hazel suffers a stroke, everything changes. Hazel’s grumpy yet undeniably handsome grandson, Carter Bestwick, swoops into town determined to sell the cottage and move on with his corporate life. He needs Alina to leave—immediately.

With nowhere to go and a snowstorm trapping them together, Alina and Carter are forced into close quarters. What starts as a tense, begrudging arrangement soon sparks undeniable chemistry. As they clear out the attic, they discover Hazel’s magical wedding bands—heirlooms passed down through generations since the Revolutionary War—and find that sometimes, the magic of love is closer than they think.

This Holiday the magic of an Alabama romantic Christmas sparks a season of hope…

It’s been twenty-five long years since Jane Lafitte’s college sweetheart, Trevor Gardner, broke her heart, but life moved on. She never imagined she’d see Trevor again—until their adult children announce their own Christmas engagement—to each other!

Thrown together amidst cozy holiday celebrations, the old flames can’t deny the warm embers that still smolder between them despite the painful memories and practical concerns conspiring against them. Jane and Trevor agree to keep their romantic history a secret, but it gets complicated as they are immersed with planning a wedding between her daughter, Casey, and his son, Drew in the same town where the two of them planned to marry so long ago.

As Jane and Trevor reconnect, their tangled past resurfaces, making forgiveness the only way forward if they hope to navigate their future as soon-to-be in-laws. But what does it really mean to be family? Can they move beyond their past hurt to discover a new beginning together in time for Christmas?


The timing’s terrible…

Fleeing a life her wealthy father planned—including the groom he picked out—Perth midwife Gabi Hudson heads off grid to the small and charming town of Wirralong in the Outback. She’s hoping for a fresh start and to live a life of purpose while working in a local baby crèche during her friend’s maternity leave. A cute cottage is included, but the hot cowboy setting up an unusual holiday display is a heart-pounding surprise.

Texas Cowboy Cormack Callaghan has been traveling the world working odd jobs, until a lucrative hobby changes his fortunes. He loves making metal art in Wirralong, but Cormack’s finally booked his ticket home. He promised his patiently waiting family that he’d finally be home for this Christmas, but then he’s blindsided by the intriguing Gabriella.

Cormack’s never been a relationship kinda guy, and Gabi knows he’s temporary. Surely two weeks isn’t long enough for either of them to be so foolish as to fall in love. Or is it?

Megan Crane talks her latest addition to Cowboy Point AND shares about THAT MOMENT in any friends-to-lovers romance.

Every good friend-to-lovers story hinges on THAT MOMENT.

You know the one.

It’s the moment that changes everything. The moment that blows up the fictions that the two people in question have been living under.

There’s no going back.

In The Cowboy’s Best Friend, this moment happens when Sierra Tate is celebrating the end of her not-so-great marriage. Without thinking, she runs to her longtime best friend, hugs him—and for some reason, gives him a kiss on the mouth.

It’s not a particularly passionate kiss. She doesn’t mean anything by it.

But it changes everything just the same.

Because Sierra is the only person in Cowboy Point—and possibly all of Marietta, if not the better part of Paradise Valley—who doesn’t know that her best friend, Boone Carey, has been in love with her for most of his life.

Pretty much since the very moment he laid eyes on her for the first time when they were in seventh grade.

Since then, he’s understood that the way he gets Sierra is by being her friend. Her rock. The way he figures it, that’s a pretty fantastic deal on its own. He handles his needs in private and gets the best of his friend when she needs him. He’s fine.

More than fine.

Boone has a lot going on in his life. He runs High Mountain Ranch with his brothers, the way Careys have been doing since their first ancestor turned up in Montana back in the Gold Rush days. He’s doing his best not to worry about his father, who told them all over a year ago that he had only a year to live. He’s navigating the change in their family because of that—who could imagine Zeke Carey anything but a titan?—as well as the sisters-in-law he’s gotten over the past year. Three sisters-in-law, two unexpected toddler nephews, and more on the way. 

He’s also opened an artisan dairy in his small corner of the ranch, and a cultivated little farm to go with it. As far as he’s concerned, he has the best life imaginable. He gets to work with his hands in the dirt. He gets to work the land that’s his family’s legacy, out beneath that endless Montana sky.

The house he lives in, he built himself. Everything he has, he owns or shares ownership in.

Boone doesn’t have a single complaint.

Until Sierra changes everything with that kiss.

Because once things start between them, there’s no going back.

But when he warns her what might happen if she tears down the walls he’s been keeping high and solid between them—for her protection, not his—she goes for it anyway.

Even though Boone is pretty sure he was clear.

It’s never going to be one night with the two of them.

The only thing that’s going to happen between them is forever.

The Rancher’s Heart

by Susan Lute

Lawyer and rancher Jonas Lohmen returns home with a plan to help save the debt-ridden ranch he co-owns with his brothers. Before he can do more than open a satellite law office, trouble in the form of a beautiful former client, who’s also his law partner’s sister follows him. New plan. Convince his best friend to pretend to be his fiancé.

“Have you lost your mind?” Sloane Michaels can’t believe the favor Jonas wants—especially now that she’s finally finished pining for him and has joined a dating app. So what if the first dates leave her bored and cold? She owns a booming car repair business and knows she can craft her own HEA and have the family she’s always craved. Jonas with his wicked, sexy smile, won’t talk his way around her this time.

Sloane, in her grease-stained overalls, doesn’t want to pretend to be someone else, but could he fall in love with the woman she is, or is she risking heartbreak once again?


The Cowboy’s Best Friend

by Megan Crane

Sierra Tate has been best friends with Boone Carey since childhood. She can’t imagine life without him.

After finally leaving the husband who cheated on her for the entirety of their marriage, she wants a change. Life in Cowboy Point with her best friend, helping him get his artisan dairy up and running, feels like the perfect way to figure out who she really is. After all, Boone is so sweet. So kind. She knows that he’ll let her live in the apartment above his barn forever, if she needs to. And maybe she does.

Boone has wanted Sierra for as long as he’s known her. Even after she married a man he never thought deserved her, he figured he’d rather have her as a friend than not have her at all. Getting to spend all day, every day with the woman he can’t have is challenging—but Boone is used to that kind of suffering. That’s okay. He loves her enough to be her friend forever and nothing more.

Until one night, everything changes.

Boone finally has the chance to introduce his best friend to the man he really is, the man he’s always been—the man who’s been in love with her since the day they met.

And he’s prepared to show her that as far as he’s concerned, they’ve always been made for each other.

One kiss at a time.


The Cowboy Comes Home

by Justine Davis

The invitation to visit his best friend at his new Texas digs is just what former rodeo champion turned Hollywood stuntman Tucker Culhane needs. When he and star Jackson Thorpe, worked together on a huge western hit, he’d enjoyed the life, but now Tucker’s at a career crossroads and missing home. But will returning to Texas open the door on the past he’s long avoided?

Police officer Emily Stratton loves protecting the citizens of her hometown, Last Stand, in Texas’ beautiful hill country. She was a huge fan of Tucker when he was on top of the leaderboard, but his reserve, humble spirit and kindness to a young boy intrigue her far more. Can she show Tucker that Last Stand can be the home and fresh start he’s been searching for?

Emily’s quick humor, warmth and golden eyes make Tucker forget his own name, but he’s all too familiar with the realities of police life, and the last thing he intends to do is fall for a cop…


The Rancher’s Fake Fiancée

by Debra Holt

US Marshal Cassie Parker excels under cover. When her boss sends her to Red Cliffs, Texas, to keep tabs on the criminal mastermind she’s been hunting for three years, she jumps at the chance. But convincing the irritatingly handsome rancher, Cole Connors, to play along might be her hardest mission yet.

When Cole learns his ex-wife is unexpectedly arriving with a fiancé in tow who might be a criminal, he’ll do anything to protect his eight-year-old daughter, even pose as a happy couple with the sassy and sexy marshal with control issues.

As Cassie and Cole pretend to be engaged, it’s challenging to remember what’s real and what’s fake. For Cassie, the time spent with Cole and his daughter awakens a yearning for more than a career diving into one undercover job to the next, never having roots or a home. Cole is leery of letting down his guard as he’s been burned before.

When the threat is over and Cassie’s assignment ends, can their make-believe engagement become something real?


Choosing the Montana Cowboy

by Kyra Jacobs

Putting down roots means something very different to this Midwest girl and sexy Montana cowboy.

Natalie Wright loves being a development coordinator for new construction. But while the travel was exciting at first, she’s ready to put her suitcase away. All she needs is one more successful project, which seems simple until a certain cowboy walks into her public hearing in Marietta, Montana.

Sam Miles has his hands full overseeing the Flying J ranch and being a single dad. But when he learns there are plans to drop some swanky resort on the land next door, he will do all he can to block the project—a task that would be infinitely easier without Natalie’s megawatt smile.

They’re soon exchanging playful barbs, neither willing to give an inch on which goal should take priority for the town. Then news of an endangered species habitat on the development site threatens to jeopardize the resort’s progress, and Sam and Natalie team up to protect both their livelihoods—and try not to get their hearts broken along the way.


The Cowboy Takes a Nanny

by Kaz Delaney

Single dad and rugged rancher Leo Halligan needs a nanny he can trust with his precious baby girl. Widowed English heiress Ella Staunton-Hawes needs to escape her world for a while and keep her toddler son safe. A live-in nanny role on Leo’s Montana ranch seems like the perfect fit.

However, Leo has trust issues and Ella hasn’t been completely forthcoming about who she really is, nor why she’s estranged from hers and her son’s families. The more time Ella spends with Leo, the more she wants to confide in him. But will her subterfuge destroy the spark of romance between them? That perfect feeling of belonging?

Leo knows Ella’s hiding something. But the children are perfect together and Ella’s winding her way into his heart and maybe they’re a family in the making. Everyone has secrets—how bad can Ella’s be?

 

This emotional tale of second chances, hidden secrets, and small-town charm weaves passionate cowboy romance with heartrending stakes. A must-read for fans of single parent love stories and ranch-set drama.


A Wedding to Remember

by Cassidy Carter

A wedding to remember brings them back together.

Slater Evans, manager of Cabins in the Pines Resort and Executive Retreat, has never been busier as he plans the nuptials of his two best friends. He wants to ensure everything goes perfectly, but when he needs his focus the most, his plans spin out of control when his ex girlfriend, the love of his life, unexpectedly arrives.

Working at her father’s financial firm with expectations to take over, Hope Bergman’s determined to prove her managerial and leadership skills by organizing a flawless corporate conference at the charming resort. Coming face to face with the man she could never forget divides her attention and jeopardizes the career she’s worked hard to build.

But when there’s a glitch in the preparations for his friend’s wedding, Slater reluctantly asks Hope for help, and she can’t resist stepping in. Could the chance to work together rekindle their love and lead to a new beginning or will Hope’s ambitions once again take her far away?

Are You Ready to Return to Cowboy Point?

Ryder Carey… isn’t. Not really.

But his larger-than-life father isn’t getting any better, by all reports, as hard as it is for him to believe it. And Ryder isn’t getting any younger, which is a problem, since he’s been riding bulls and winning belts since he left town after high school. He figures it’s high time he comes back home to be a part of his family again, especially now.

But his family isn’t the only thing he has to deal with.

There’s also Rosie Stark.


Ryder knew Rosie back when they were kids, the way he knew everyone in Cowboy Point. He mostly knew the rest of her family, since the Starks have been in town almost as long as the Careys. And everyone knows the old lodge that sits up above their little town that the Starks used to run, then let fall into disrepair, and are now renovating.

Yet the Rosie he encountered three years ago after an American Extreme Bull Riders Tour weekend in Austin was not the little girl he vaguely remembered. Rosie was all grown up and way too pretty. And the night they shared was the kind of night that made a man’s head spin.

By the time morning came, Ryder decided that a spinning head was the kind of trouble he didn’t need. Or maybe it was that she tasted like forever, and he wasn’t ready for that. He wasn’t sure he’d ever be ready for that.

He wasn’t sorry about that—but the way he’d handled it had been less that ideal.

That he hadn’t acted the way he should have—the way a man ought to have, after a night like the one they’d shared— had stuck with him ever since. The same way the night itself had, but he tries not to dwell on that.

He settles in at home, parking his truck and trailer in the plot of land that had been carved out of the family ranch and given to him when he and his twin had turned 18. Wilder had gone ahead and built himself a whole house, but Ryder hadn’t done much more than take down a few trees and clean things up when he found himself in this part of Montana. Which wasn’t often.

But after he checks in with his father and stepmother, and all of his brothers—especially Wilder, who knows him too well—Ryder decides it’s time to go offer Rosie an overdue apology. He assumes she’ll laugh at him from the house she shares with her husband and family, having long since forgotten all about him. He figures she might not even remember him.

It was a long time ago, after all.

Still, he knows he has to do it. Not to make himself feel better, but because she deserves it. She deserved to be treated better at the time, and he’ll make sure she hears that from his mouth. Then he’ll leave her to whatever domestic bliss she’s created since, because she deserves that too.But when he turns up at Rosie’s house, he’s first struck by the fact that she still seems to have the same power over him that she did back then. That he hadn’t blown it all up out of proportion in his mind over the years.

That’s a sucker punch. But there’s a bigger one.

Two small boys who look like dead ringers for Ryder and Wilder when they were that age.

Two small boys who cannot possibly have any father in this earth…except him.

Happy release day to Megan for book three in her Carey’s of Cowboy Point series, The Cowboy’s Secret Babies!

The Accidental Crush by Mia Heintzelman

Spicy Flavor: Workplace romance…but make it at a vineyard, in the wine country…

Can you really mix business with pleasure?

Dante Fortemani’s family never takes his ideas seriously during business meetings, so he zones out. That is, until the agenda includes selling his late grandfather’s struggling vineyard. Desperate, he appeals to his mother and siblings, and buys himself two months to protect their legacy.

Business consultant Morgan Forster is constantly connected to anything with a digital pulse. Her friends believe she’s a stressed-out workaholic in need of an intervention: a Galentine’s Day getaway in wine country, an electronic detox, and hopefully, Mr. Right feeding her grapes.

The Fortemani Vineyard Galentine’s brunch is a smashing success for Dante. Except for the woman hiding in a corner with her phone…who’s convinced he’s an escort hired by her helpful Sister Circle. Soon, laughter, undeniable chemistry, and an unforgettable night, lead Dante to hire Morgan to help save the vineyard. She accepts under one condition: it’s strictly business.

As they tread through an inconvenient attraction to create a proposal before the next meeting, though, their focus yields to blossoming feelings. Is it a mistake for them to mix business with pleasure? Or is a chance at love worth the risk?

The best blends are made with a little crush and a lot of wine–sip from your very own copy TODAY!


Most Dangerous Cowboy by Megan Crane

Spicy Flavor: A dangerous, sexy cowboy with nothing to lose…until she sets his heart on fire…

There’s only one thing more dangerous than riding bulls—and that’s love

Skylar Grey lost everything when her fiancé died. But her move back to her hometown, Billings, Montana is not the fresh start she seeks, as too many people know her tragic tale. But then she meets a bull riding cowboy who treats her like she’s made of fire and everything changes.

Cody Galen joined the American Extreme Bull Riders Tour to make money, not friends. He enjoys whiskey, winning, and women and he doesn’t care who he pisses off while he pursues the hell out of all three. He figures he only has a few years left before his body gives out and he might as well go down hard in a blaze of glory. He knows the pretty thing he meets his first night in Billings is no buckle bunny, but if she wants to play that role, who is he to argue?

Neither one of them is looking for anything lasting. But there’s only one thing more dangerous than riding bulls—and that’s love.

Claiming His Woman, An Anthology by Jane Porter, Megan Crane, and Carol Marinelli

Spicy Flavor: 3x the spice! We’re talking THREE sexy romance stories in ONE! 

A tycoon, a virgin, and a prince walk into a book…

The Tycoon’s Forced Bride by Jane Porter

Malcolm McKenzie will never forget that night in New York when he put Ava Galvan in a taxi following a heated argument, and the Argentine beauty was involved in an horrific accident—one that ended her career as an acclaimed soloist with the Manhattan Ballet, and impaired her memory and ability to live an independent life.

The Scottish tycoon and philanthropist lives with his guilt, and another consequence:  Ava was pregnant with his child the night of the accident.  Ever since that night, Malcom has raised Jack as a single father.

But Ava is stronger now, and Jack wants his mommy to come home.  Malcolm has never stopped wanting her and he’s determined to do whatever it takes to claim Ava—with or without her consent.

Project Virgin by Megan Crane

Maybe the worst idea she’s ever had is actually the best thing she could ever do…

Newbie lawyer Scottie Grey spent entirely too many years listening to her ex-fiancé’s lies. Now that she’s finally kicked that cheater out of her life, she wants to waste no time getting rid of the albatross around her neck: her virginity.

Damon Patrick is the worst possible candidate for the project. He’s too good-looking, too experienced. He’s too well known around San Francisco—mostly for his many sexual exploits.

He’s also kinda, sorta Scottie’s boss.

Damon is the worst man for the job imaginable… which might just make him the only one Scottie can imagine giving her virginity to after all.

Bound to the Sheikh by Carol Marinelli

Sheikh Ashim Al Raquar, Crown Prince of Alzaquan, knows he must return to his country and leave his playboy reputation far behind him. It will be a wild journey home, though—he intends to party on his yacht right to the edge of the desert. And then he meets Emily, a corporate flight attendant who’s in the south of France hoping to find herself after years of taking care of her husband.

A sensual, charismatic lover with a reputed dark edge to his bedroom skills is the very last thing Emily needs.

Or is it the first?

Autumn’s Magical Pact by Leigh Ann Edwards

Spicy Flavor: Soul swapping, mystical stones, and unexpected love with a mysterious Lord.

She’d rather swap her soul than marry him…until she falls in love with him through her friend’s eyes…

After her father’s disappearance, headstrong healer Rhianwyn finds herself in a perilous position. The king’s law forbids unwed women living alone, but she neither needs nor wants the numerous men vying for her hand. The explosive chemistry between her and mysterious Lord Broccan tempts her to bed—but not to wed. So, when Broccan receives royal permission to marry her, Rhianwyn is furious.

Her friends Elspeth, Selena, and Lilliana envy her fate, which seems better than that of servant, harlot or bartered princess. At the mystical sunstones where they meet to bemoan their powerless futures, a crone appears, offering them a magical opportunity to swap souls for a season. With each believing any life is better than the one given her, they agree, beginning a journey that will change them, their friendships, and their destinies forever. 

Broccan, however, didn’t bargain on loving a wife who changes with the seasons. As Rhianwyn starts seeing her independence—and Broccan—through new eyes, she realizes that the pact meant to free her may destroy her best chance at happiness. 

Can one choice alter destiny or is fate set in stone?

Order Autumn’s Magical Pact NOW–because who wouldn’t want to trade their fate for a little autumn magic?

Woman in purple dress kisses shirtless man

They are both pretending to be someone else for the night…

When Catherine Forster asks a handsome stranger to lead her out of the ballroom and into the Tremberley gardens, she hopes to glimpse its renowned Roman ruins…and maybe steal a kiss. But when she and her delectable escort are discovered in a scandalous embrace, Catherine is horrified to learn that she has been kissing John Breminster, heir to the man who ruined her family.

Given that the Forsters are his sworn enemies, John had no choice but to walk away from Catherine that night. But he has never been able to forget their close encounter—and, even years later, still longs for her touch. Worse, when his father dies, John, now the Duke of Edington, finds himself with a problem that only Catherine can help him solve.

Catherine agrees to aid him in his quest…for a price. On their journey, they soon begin to give into temptation, even as they uncover troubling revelations about the past. Will John and Catherine overcome this shared history? Or will its secrets tear them apart forever?

Return to Cowboy Point and see which Carey is playing with fire in “The Cowboy’s Forbidden Bride” by Megan Crane

Welcome Back to Cowboy Point!

When we last visited this tiny Montanan mountain community ten miles up from Marietta and around the back side of Copper Mountain, it was late spring going into summer.

And everyone knows that there are really only three seasons in Montana: Winter, July, and August.

The community really comes alive in the summertime, and because there’s so little of it, they like to make sure they get out into all the sunlight on offer. There are food trucks and craft stands, the weekly market that showcases farmed goods and artisan creations from all over the far-reaches of the hills above Paradise Valley. Summer is when the few restaurants in town stay open late and keep the patios packed with live music and extended hours to match the northern skies that stay bright long into the evenings.

One warm summer night, Wilder Carey runs into the much-younger Cat Lisle in the roughest bar down in Marietta and figures he’ll save her from herself and the bad decisions she seems determined to make.

This is not his usual MO.

Wilder’s more of a live and let live kind of a guy. He, for example, enjoys carousing at will, tied to nothing, as the older of the Carey twins and the only one who stayed in town. He doesn’t like commitments of any kind—he’s got all he needs in that arena with his family, and has always found that mornings-after give the wrong impression.

He’s not a man who gets involved.

There’s absolutely no reason, then, that he should involve himself with a woman who looks like she just wants to find a bit of trouble on a weekend night, like anyone else. Like him. In fact, he’s more likely to volunteer to be that trouble himself than to act like he’s suddenly come down with a case of chivalry and escort her out.

Not to mention, she’s a Lisle.

The Careys and the Lisles haven’t gotten along since they first crossed path up on Copper Mountain when folks who made the trek out this way still had mining aspirations. Legend has it that there was a high-stakes poker game and canny Ebenezer Lisle won the General Store—the only building around in those days—from crusty old Matthew Carey with a well-timed royal flush.

The Lisles claim it was down to good, old-fashioned luck.

The Careys know that the Lisles aren’t lucky—they like to cheat.

They’ve all been mad about it ever since.

When Wilder was in high school, he and his twin brother Ryder expressed their historic, inherited feelings about the old feud on the football field where Cat’s older brothers also played—and jockeyed for position. These days they all simply ignore each other when possible or, when forced, offer each other the sort of chilly greetings that make it clear they loathe each other in a very small town way.

The point is this: what Wilder should do is leave Cat Lisle alone.

But he doesn’t.

And that’s how the summer heats up in Cowboy Point, until ending an Old West feud is the least of Wilder’s problems.

Because Cat intends to love him forever, and what’s he supposed to do with that?

Especially when her grumpy, over-protective brothers—who already hate Wilder and always have—find out…
