WANTED: Emma Jean, Heartbreak Queen


Book Description

In my tiny hometown of Gillibrook, I’d tried to find the yee to my haw, but instead, I’d kept finding the hell to my naw. As a triple-crowned county-fair pageant queen, I had grown used to the winner’s circle. But after one too many romps in the hay with local cowboys, I’d only knocked boots with a bunch of losers. I’d met every Tom, Dick, and hillbilly this side of the mountain, and they’d all turned out to be no-good sons of biscuit-eaters. I didn’t want to settle for a consolation prize. I played to win the blue ribbon. So, I’d traded my boots for suits and packed my bags for a taste of city life. But after that dirty rascal Tommy Pickins broke my heart, I’d learned the pastures weren’t always greener on the other side of the fence, so I hightailed it back home to my roots on a trail of shame. I tried to lay low at Buck Off Ranch, but small-town gossip traveled faster than a twister through a trailer park. Once my high school sweetheart, West Miller, caught news of my arrival, he sauntered right back into my life with a score to settle. But his challenge was just another contest I could easily win. One flutter of my lashes, and I would charm him right out of his chaps. I wasn’t the same innocent country girl who had left this place, and bad-boy West was about to learn a very hard lesson. After all, this ain’t my first rodeo.




WANTED: Josie Thatcher, Cowboy Catcher

Mysterious cowboy Tripp Miller was as rugged as he was handsome. After he left me tickled pink at the local saloon, I was determined to live out my favorite Western romance with him as my leading man. Rope me. Ride me. Satisfy me. Talk about sore in the saddle! It turned out, this small town had sparked quite the big adventure. I was caught somewhere between saving a horse and riding a cowboy or galloping right out of my comfort zone. I just hoped Tripp was up for the ride because I reckoned I needed more than eight seconds.
