Fresh start. Big sky. One man she never saw coming.

After her divorce shatters everything she thought her life would be, Leah Roman takes a chance on something completely different—a summer job on a Montana dude ranch.

It’s temporary. Safe. Exactly what she needs. Until Montana starts to feel like home. And Lucas Hunter starts to feel like something even more dangerous.

The rugged wilderness guide is quiet, intense, and impossible to ignore. He sees straight through her walls… and makes her want things she swore she’d never risk again. Lucas doesn’t do temporary.

And the more time they spend together—working side by side, exploring the mountains, sharing heat that lingers long after the sun goes down—the harder it becomes to pretend this is just a summer fling.

Because out here, everything runs deeper. Stronger. Forever. Leah came to Montana to find herself. She never expected to find a man who might make her stay.

She’s looking for more. He’s fighting to hold on to everything he has.

Rachel Hayden’s fresh start in Texas was supposed to be simple—until she meets Mason Freeman. Gruff, stubborn, and completely off-limits.

Their chemistry is instant. Their clashes are explosive. And when they’re forced to work together, tension turns into something neither of them can control.

She won’t stay. He won’t fall.

But when her past threatens everything, Mason will have to decide what matters more…

The ranch he’s fighting for—or the woman he can’t let go.

She swore she’d never risk her heart again. He’s already decided she’s his.

After tragedy pulls the ground out from under her, Chloe Darling returns home to save her family’s orchard—and keep herself from falling apart. There’s no room for distractions. No room for desire. No room for him.

Zach Hunter is everything she doesn’t need—strong, steady, and impossible to ignore. A rancher with rough hands, quiet confidence, and a way of looking at her like he sees everything she’s trying to hide.

He doesn’t push. He doesn’t walk away. He stays.

And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny what’s building between them—heat that lingers, tension that snaps, and a connection that feels dangerously close to forever.

Chloe can’t afford to lose anything else. But Zach isn’t afraid of the fight. And he’s not letting her face it alone.

Three unforgettable love stories. One irresistible escape.

Then Charlie Hayden arrives in Wildflower Valley. A wealthy horse breeder with big plans and undeniable charm, Charlie offers to invest in the winery’s expansion. The deal makes sense. The attraction? Far more dangerous.

Sunny sees more than a business opportunity, he sees a woman he wants to win, in and out of the vineyard. As long days and sultry Texas nights blur the lines between work and desire, Sunny must decide if trusting him is worth the risk to everything she’s built.

Texas Heat is a steamy small-town cowboy romance filled with passion, ambition, and irresistible chemistry.

Proud, passionate, and fiercely protective of her family’s legacy, Isa resents being bound to a man who challenges her at every turn even as the spark between them burns hotter by the day.

She came back looking for answers. Instead, she found me. And this time… I’m not letting her go.

Heather hasn’t forgotten the town’s golden boy who left without a backward glance. Now he’s back, with a kid, and zero parenting instincts. She doesn’t have time for his messy life, but somehow gets drawn in by Violet’s sweet smile, by Cookie, her opinionated corgi who bonds with Violet, and most dangerously, by Logan himself.
