Catch a cowboy … Keep a cowboy …
THE LEGEND OF BAD MOON RISING by Carra Copelin
Dinah Horne is in danger of losing herself. Leaving her
friends and family for Dallas, Texas, she’s determined to make her mark.
Unfortunately, the big city has other ideas. When her money runs out, she
returns to her hometown and the man she can’t forget.
Ben Hammond is sheriff of the small community of McTiernan,
Texas. Once he’s over the woman who stole his heart and shattered it, he
decides to buy the Hard Luck Ranch and settle down. Problem is, odd things are
happening that may be tied to the previous owners. As he begins his
investigation into the past, he is faced with an even bigger problem—the
reappearance of Dinah Horne.
CITY BOY, COUNTRY HEART by Andrea Downing
Rodeo star and rancher Chay Ridgway has left Wyoming to
follow his girlfriend, K.C. Daniels, to New York. Leaving behind all he knows
for a small bite of the Big Apple, Chay discovers the canyons of city streets
may be too claustrophobic for this cowboy, especially when the trauma is
compounded by the fact K.C.’s parents dislike him, their housemate is a
harridan, friends are few, and the only job he can get is rounding up dinner
plates.
As K.C. continues her two years of study for her Master’s degree,
can she also keep a rein on Chay’s heart? Will this cowboy become a city boy,
or will the wide-open spaces of Wyoming call his country heart home?
BLUE SAGE by Kristy McCaffrey
Braden Delaney has taken over the family cattle business
after the death of his father, but faced with difficult financial decisions he
contemplates selling a portion of the massive Delaney ranch holdings known as
Whisper Rock, a place of unusual occurrences. The sudden appearance of a pretty
relic-hunter while he’s collecting his livestock, however, is about to change
his mind.
Archaeologist Audrey Driggs arrives in the remote wilderness
of Northern Arizona searching for clues to a life-altering experience from her
childhood. When she rolls off a mountain and lands at the feet of rugged cowboy
Braden Delaney, it’s clear she needs his knowledge of the area to complete her
quest. But if she tells him the truth, will he think she’s crazy?
Together, they’ll uncover a long-lost secret.
THE DRIFTER’S KISS by Devon McKay
Addison Reed doesn’t want to believe her foreman and family
friend is responsible for her missing stock, but the man isn’t making it easy.
Hoping to prove he’s innocent, she follows him into a seedy bar and finds
herself in a bigger mess…kissing a complete stranger.
Drifter Sawyer Dawson never settled anywhere for long. In
fact, landing a job on a ranch as the new foreman fell into his lap, and he
figured Montana was as good a place as any to settle down for a while. Of
course, sticking around might have something to do with a sexy blonde with an
affinity for kissing cowboys.
HER MAN by Hildie McQueen
When someone is murdered, it's definitely not a normal week
in the usually quiet town of Lovely, Montana.
With the sheriff gone, deputy Mark Hunter had planned for another
slow week at work, but when the first murder in twenty years happens, his past
as a city detective comes to life. It’s no time to fall in love.
The last twenty-four hours have been hell. Between a fight
with her ex that left her with a bruised face and now finding a dead man, Eliza
Brock can barely keep it together. But despite the mess, she still manages to
feel an undeniable attraction to the handsome deputy, and damn if she can’t
resist him when he knocks on her door.
BORDER ROMANCE by Hebby Roman
Leticia Villarreal is lonely. Widowed for eight years, she
keeps busy with her ranch and charity work, but they don’t fill the empty place
in her heart. When she considers establishing a Quarter horse racing stable,
her new endeavor reunites her with an old acquaintance and exposes her horses
to danger.
John Clay Laidlaw, a handsome, self-assured, millionaire
rancher, has been attracted to Leticia since high school. When he was young and
first divorced, he tried to get Leticia to date him, but she didn’t like his
arrogant and high-handed ways. Separated from his second wife, John Clay offers
to help Leticia with her new racing horse. Remembering how he acted when they
were young, she doesn’t trust him. But when someone tries to harm her horses
and John Clay rushes to her rescue, can she open her heart to him?
PHOENIX HEAT by Patti Sherry-Crews
Harper Donovan thought she had it all when she turned her
dream into a reality—opening a restaurant in New York City. But when the
venture fails and her fiancé leaves her, Harper has little choice but to return
to her family in Arizona.
When she meets handsome firefighter and cowboy Frank Flynn,
she decides it’s time to get in the dating game again. Except Flynn shows no
interest and dodges her, but not before claiming they’ve met before. Solving
the mystery of the complicated Flynn gets under Harper’s skin, making her even
more determined to seduce him.
When the two finally come together, the smoldering passion
ignites into a heat that rivals the Phoenix desert. Now that Flynn has opened
his heart, can Harper handle this wounded cowboy who’s playing for keeps?
