When Clint Marsh pulls a woman from an overturned semi on a county road in Florida, he expects only to do a good deed then get back on his motorcycle and head home.

It doesn’t quite work out that way. The woman turns out to be Lily Ridenger, his first love, and the one woman who has the ability to turn his thoughts to sin with a single look. She’s in need of a place to stay and he has room to spare. So what if they have unfinished business between them? So what if there are still unresolved feelings? Chances are they’ll hook up, have sex hot enough to start a fire and go their separate ways. At least that’s what Clint thought…

He thought wrong.

 

Note: This is a standalone story.

When Grace offered to work at the animal clinic the summer between college and vet school, she did not expect her very first day to involve a sexy, shirtless cowboy, a misunderstanding of embarrassing proportions, or her arm shoulder-deep inside a birthing mare.

Newly single and never one to jump in blindly with both feet, her summer kicks off to a very heated start when she finds herself leaping from the frying pan that is Adam, into the fire of his twin brother, Scott.

Will the heat of this Texas summer melt her with desire or burn her to ashes when both billionaire, cowboy brothers set their sights on roping Grace in between them?

A good girl. A bad cowboy. A dirty secret. Ready to figure this one out?

She used to be like my little sister.

Now her curves make me choke on my beer.

But she’s broke, and I’m the reason.

Not that she knows. It’s my secret.

I’ll make it up to her though.

I’ll offer her a job.

To be the live-in nanny at my ranch.

I’ll win her for me with my cowboy abs.

Seriously, who can resist those?

She’ll be screaming for more before she knows it.

All I need to do is keep my secret from her. Or she’ll leave.

And I want her to stay.

After being falsely accused of a serious crime by an egocentric and vain city girl, I swore never to be involved with another one again. The high profile lawsuit of the world’s favorite pop star princess vs. her monstrous body guard ruined me financially and publicly. Nobody wants to hire an accused criminal to be their bodyguard, even if he was found not guilty of all charges.

I have not wavered from that decision for five years while living in Montana working as a personal assistant and head of security for billionaire rancher Ash Pride.

The past few years have been the best of my life. Secluding myself from the public and the media on Ash’s ranch was my saving grace… until a beautiful, sassy photojournalist showed up on Ash’s doorstep.

Allison Green’s curves, her sass, and her smile are making me rethink my “no city girl” rule for the first time in five years.

Can I risk being thrust back into the public eye?

Can I trust someone whose profession once ruined me?

Can this cowboy fall for a city girl?

Oh yes suga’, I’m playing for keeps.

Years of prison couldn’t keep this cowboy away.

I took the fall for my brother.

But one gal’s memory kept me going.

I broke her heart once and now we have unfinished business.

My sweet Caroline.

The soft curves of her lips and her sweet innocence.

How could I forget that episode on the ferris wheel?

The sweet sounds of her moans and her warmth on my fingertips.

I’ve come back to our home town with one thing in mind.

But a dark secret about our families threatens to break what we once had.

Promises are hard to keep. For 28-year-old Clayton Walker, they’re almost impossible. When he lost his father, he lost himself. All he has left is the Walker Family Ranch, and he’ll do anything to keep it running for his mother and brother. But there aren’t many options left in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and time is running out on his chances to keep the ranch going.

Pasts are hard to forget. For 26-year-old Essie Rose, they’re downright controlling. When she’s sent out to the middle of nowhere, Wyoming, on business, it’s her chance to shed her past and regain her independence.

She never meant to fall for Clay, the sexy rugged cowboy who leaves her tongue-tied and sends her heart racing.

He never meant to fall for Essie, the sweet-as-pie city girl who makes him yearn for everything he’s lost.

But love isn’t easy, especially when Clay learns that the city girl he’s fallen for is in town to steal his ranch … right after she steals his heart.

Will Clay break his promise, or will Essie have to make a few of her own to save herself, and the cowboy she’s fallen for? 

As You Wish Mail Order Service: Custom Brides for Gentlemen of Taste.

SEEKING: Down-to-earth Bride for a wealthy, handsome Colorado landowner. No experience needed.

When both of her parents mysteriously died, Antonia Rossi is left grieving and bewildered, unsure of her place in the harshness of 19th century St. Louis.

She’s so desperate in fact, she considers answering an advertisement for a mail order bride. Most young women in their right mind wouldn’t follow a lead like this. But most women aren’t being pursued by a dangerous crime boss. When he insists that Antonia “work off” her parents’ debt as his mistress, she has no choice but to flee to Colorado…even if it means marrying a mysterious stranger who’s rejected four brides already.

But something is amiss, starting with the strikingly handsome Cowboy who follows her throughout the train ride west, and ending with the strange townsfolk and reclusive new husband. Antonia must sort through it all in order to discover what is true love, what is real, and what is a bold-faced lie.

Rose
I can honestly say I didn’t see that coming. Who would? How stupid was I to assume the promotion was mine? Ha… I even had the party planned and ready.

The humiliation is overwhelming.

I need to get out of here. I can’t even look at these people. A trip somewhere far away and exotic is what I need. No… somewhere quiet. Maybe the wilderness where no one can reach me? Solitude. That’s what I need, where I can reset, and grasp the reality of what just happened.

Branch
I’m not one for getting close to any one particular girl. Hell, I love my life of isolation. Being a billionaire rancher has its perks with just as many drawbacks. I make it a point to maintain my life as private as possible on this sprawling ranch. The less people know about me personally, the better.

But, as everyone knows, life loves to throw you a curve ball straight in the dirt.

The woman that’s currently renting my cabin is somehow bridging a connection to my scarred heart. One that hasn’t been opened in god knows how long.

I have to dig deep down and ask myself the hard questions. Can she actually handle my demons? Or should I get the hell out of dodge before someone gets hurt?
