Fractured Sky
2022
Catherine Cowles
Shiloh Damaged. Broken. Destroyed. I’ve heard it all. A single moment of trusting the wrong person shattered my life into pieces, and my family has never looked at me the same. It’s impossible to convince them that I’m anything more than the broken girl they rescued all those years ago. Until I meet him. Ramsey’s surly demeanor and menacing scowl scare most of the world away. But not me. Not when I’ve seen his gentle hands soothe an abused colt or comfort a terrified mare. And when I finally get up the courage to strike out on my own, Ramsey’s there. Roommates felt like such a safe proposition until Ramsey’s lingering touches and wicked smile light a fire in me I don’t think will ever be extinguished. And he feels it, too… But just as my new life begins to take root, an evil from my past emerges from the shadows, casting a darkness on my newfound freedom. And this time, they won’t settle for pieces of me. They want everything…

Elliott Rose
From international best\-selling author Elliott Rose comes a new forbidden\-love series... What happens when you’re snowed in on a mountain ranch, with the one man you definitely should not be fantasizing about? I’ve always done what was expected of me. Layla Birch, the good girl. Forced to grow up too fast. To take care of everything myself. I had a plan. Only, I didn’t count on him. Colton Wilder. The cowboy nearly twice my age. He’s my dream man. One who takes care of me, gives me a job, and makes my pulse thud harder every time he comes near. My ex\-boyfriend’s father. The nights are long and cold on top of this mountain. As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we’re both inching closer to a line we shouldn’t cross. Each day, it grows harder to resist the man who looks at me with longing in his eyes. It’s tempting to forget about being the good girl for once. No one would find out. Would they? Chasing The Wild is an interconnected stand\-alone, book 1 in the all\-new Crimson Ridge series, and can be read separately. Intended for ages 18 and over.

Catherine Cowles
He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past…but to save her, he’ll wade back into the shadows.
Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove—the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who’d sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won’t stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth. She just didn’t count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door. Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend—silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers’ violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search. The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again. Only someone isn’t happy that Brae has been digging, and they’ll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He’ll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark…

Highland Hideaway

Lily Gold
One bubbly city girl lost in the Highlands. Three grumpy Scots determined to keep her there. Yesterday, I was a fashion influencer on a trip to a luxurious Scottish spa. Today, I’m the internet's favourite trainwreck. All it took was one embarrassing viral video to end my career and leave me stranded in the Highlands. I find shelter on Lochview Sheep Farm. It’s certainly not a luxury vacation spot… unless you count the three huge Scots running the place. There’s Cameron, the grumpy shepherd who calls me ‘princess’ when my heels get stuck in the mud… before carrying me inside. Fraser, the flirty rancher with the auburn hair, who promises to wear his kilt just for me. And Alec, the commanding farm manager, who seems to hate me… until a sudden storm sends his protective streak into overdrive. They all assume I’m just a clueless city girl. But when they find out what I’m hiding from, they swear to take care of me. Soon, I’m being kissed in freezing Scottish lochs, cuddled in front of the roaring fireplace, and being spoiled like the princess they once accused me of being. And the best part? My three handsome Highlanders are used to sharing everything… And now they want to share me. Highland Hideaway is a blistering standalone romance featuring three swoony heroes, grumpy-sunshine banter, and tons of found-family warmth. Cosy up and get ready for your next sweet-but-sizzling comfort read!

I've loved her since we were kids...
Violet Murphy was always meant to be mine. Forever my best friend, my partner, my wife. But nine years ago, in the deepest, darkest trenches of infertility, Violet said I needed to let her go. We've now been divorced for more years than we were married. I still live in the house we renovated together. I still work the job I had before she left. I'm here in our hometown, still thinking about her every day. How things went wrong. How things could have been different. She told me she'd never return to Silver Springs. That I needed to move on and build a family with someone else. It was never an option in my mind. It was never going to happen. Now I'm standing outside her parents' place and she's just... there. Alone. A mirage of flaming red hair and sun-kissed freckles... and a rounded belly carrying a baby we both never thought she'd be able to have. That's not the only bombshell she's brought back to town with her. Seems the love of my life has a dangerous admirer. It's my job as a Clarence County Sheriff's Deputy to protect and serve my community, but when it comes to Violet, I'd give up anything to keep her—and the baby she's carrying—safe.
Now that Violet's back, I'm determined to show her that the Silver Ridge Ranch is still her home, and my heart will always belong to her.
