Halfway Home
2026
He was never hers to want. Now he’s the one thing she can’t stay away from.
Addie Kingsley never outgrew the habit of loving Talon McGraw. He was her big brother Silas’s best friend. Her shadowed childhood hero. The city boy her father took in and taught to rope, ride, and tend cattle. The boy who let her trail after them no matter how close she followed—who gave her the nickname Tagalong and never once told her to go home—until the day he left town. After ten years as an Army Ranger, Talon returns to Clear Water Ranch a different man—wounded, hardened, and carrying scars he won’t explain. He takes up residence in a remote hunting cabin and makes one thing he doesn’t want to be found. Addie should respect that. She should listen to her brother. She should stay far away from the man who has always been off-limits. But she can’t. Because behind Talon’s silence is something darker than pain—something that isolates him, consumes him, and calls to every part of her that’s loved him for years. Talon knows better than to let her close. Silas would never allow it. And more than that, Talon doesn’t trust himself with her. Not now. Not like this. But Addie isn’t the girl he left behind. She’s stronger. Braver. And far too determined to walk away from him. And when she finally steps into his solitude, refusing to be shut out, the line Talon has held for years begins to fracture. Because wanting her was always dangerous. Now it might be inevitable. And if he gives in—if he lets her see the man he’s become—he risks losing the only family he’s ever had. But walking away from her might cost him everything he is.
Because the moment he gives in, there’s no going back—not for him, not for her, and not for the loving family that took him in. Get your copy now and discover what happens when desire finally outweighs loyalty.

The Quiet One
2026
Rancher Silas Kingsley thought he was just stopping to help a stranded motorist. Instead, he met a woman he can't forget. Rowan LeBlanc lives exactly the way she wants—quiet, isolated, and far from the disappointments of the world. With only her horse and her dog to keep her company in her tiny country home, she's built a life where nobody gets close enough to hurt her. Then a breakdown on a lonely Texas highway puts her in the path of a blue-eyed cowboy with a kind smile and far too many questions. Silas can't stop thinking about the beautiful, guarded woman who barely speaks, avoids people at all costs, and seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length. The more he learns about Rowan, the more certain he becomes that behind her silence lies a story she's never told anyone. But Rowan knows better than to trust men—or the dangerous hope growing in her heart. As Silas patiently works his way past the walls she's spent a lifetime building, Rowan must decide whether the safety of solitude is worth losing the one man who makes her want more. Don’t miss this Loner Romance full of heartbreak, first love, and redemption. Curl up with this unforgettable spicy cowboy love story today.

Worth Keeping
2026
Everyone else sees junk. Cord sees treasure. Mackenzie “Mac” Rourke has spent her life rescuing what everyone else throws away. Rusted engines. Bent fenders. Broken machinery. If there's still life left in it, she'll find it. People have never shown her the same kindness. Growing up on the wrong side of town, she learned early that folks looked at her the way they looked at the wrecks piled in her salvage yard—as something to avoid, something to judge, something not worth keeping. Then Cord Sutter walks through her gate looking for an old windmill part. Instead of seeing a junkyard, he sees ingenuity. Instead of seeing a rough, grease-smudged mechanic, he sees a stunning woman with fiery red hair, emerald-green eyes, and a quiet strength that leaves him wanting to know everything about her. Mac doesn't believe a word of it. Surely a handsome cowboy like Cord couldn't possibly mean what he says. But Cord isn't teasing her. He's simply waiting for the day Mac can see herself through his eyes. As friendship turns into something deeper, Mac must decide whether to keep hiding behind the walls she's built—or risk believing she's been worth keeping all along. A spicy wrong-side-of-the-tracks cowboy romance where healing a wounded heart may be the hardest thing to salvage.
