Book Description

When Smith Long strides into his new hometown, he doesn't expect to get bowled over by a woman chasing her cow whom she claims has fallen in love with a pig.

Abrielle Adams is squatting on a ranch outside of Sweet Water, North Dakota and hoping that she'll get back on her feet before the heir shows up. Wishful thinking since she finds out that the man who'd kept her from catching her cow is the very person she was trying to avoid. But now Abrielle has been offered the one thing she could really use - half ownership of the ranch she's been "borrowing" - and all she has to do is marry a (grumpy, sour, and okay, handsome) stranger. To both Abrielle and Smith, marriage is more than convenience and a vow is a lifetime commitment. Will they see how much they have in common and decide they need each other?

Book Description

Shorthanded in his business on Sweet Briar Ranch, Baker Lawrence is relieved when his friend, Zeke shows up to help. Unfortunately, he hadn't counted on Zeke bringing his sister, Princess Kennedy Weaver-Payne, reeling from a divorce from her husband, the heir to the Cornith throne, after his very public affair. She's in North Dakota to heal and to hide from the paparazzi. Baker isn't quite sure how he became her babysitter, and he's looking for a way to get out of it. Because Kenni is a lot more down to earth - and a lot more appealing - than he ever thought a Princess would be. She's the girl next door, just as sweet and kind as she'd been all those years ago when he crushed on her in high school. Kennedy Weaver wants out of the fish bowl. For ten years, people micromanaged her life and her every move was reported in news outlets all over the earth. Since her husband's infidelity, and their subsequent divorce, Kenni just wants to be left alone to figure things out. North Dakota seems like the perfect place. Only, because of one little kidnapping and ransom incident, her older brother thinks she needs a bodyguard. She supposes he's probably right, but she'd really like it to be anyone other than Baker Lawrence. He's been her brother's best friend forever and her very first crush. There is no man more solid and dependable than Baker. When reporters come to Sweet Water asking questions, they end up improvising to keep Kenni's identity secure. A fake marriage is the perfect foil, but will it end up being more than they bargained for?

After her husband died, leaving her with six kids to raise on her own, Piper Hughes struggles to hold everything together on a hairdresser's small wage.

But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong? Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether. But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game. No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout—but when Cassie finds herself caring for three sisters in an emergency foster placement, she decides to hide them from Jett to avoid scaring him off. When Jett’s sister’s addiction issues land her three children at his home, he decides the last thing Cassie needs to know about is his family drama.

Dreaming of Her Cowboy's Kiss (Cowboy Mountain Christmas, Small Town Sweet Romance, Book 1)


Book Description

Ruby Barclay knows she isn’t marrying for love. Love was never the plan. After losing her parents at the age of sixteen and fighting the state for guardianship of her siblings, Ruby is a pragmatist, not a romantic. And Wesley Landry, a fellow surgeon, is her best option for a safe and stable future. That is until she catches him with the florist’s assistant moments before their wedding ceremony. For five years now, Ethan Shuff has watched the love of his life plan her future with another man, a man not even close to worthy of her. Ethan had helped Ruby fight for her siblings. He’d driven her back and forth to med school, then to her residency. He’d only held off on telling her his feelings because she was so determined to have the perfect life, a life he wasn’t sure he could give her as a cowboy working with underprivileged kids on the side. He’d only come to her wedding to close that unrequited chapter of his life for good. But perhaps it wasn’t as unrequited as he thought. Because when Ruby falls into his arms for comfort at the church after Wesley’s betrayal, they both feel something. He can see it in her eyes. So, when she begs him to whisk her away from the wedding on his motorcycle, Ethan is more than happy to oblige. And even as Ruby tries to convince herself she feels nothing for Ethan but friendship, her repeated dreams of him kissing her say otherwise.
