What happens when life throws you a curveball? Chase Roberts is the quintessential Good Guy. Attractive, athletic, intelligent and successful, the former college baseball star and one-time major league prospect is the kind of guy any woman would love to take home to Mama. Except there’s one small Chase has never really gotten over his former best friend—and first love—Jolene “Jo” Westwood, who broke his heart as a teen. Now, all grown up with two thriving businesses, Chase has enough to worry about. Jo Westwood just wants to come home to Del Rio, Texas, help nurse her grandmother back to health and go back to her calm—okay, boring and lonely—life in Austin once the summer's over. Unfortunately (fortunately?), her best-laid plans come to a screaming halt the moment she accidentally bumps into her former best friend—and first love—Chase Roberts in the feminine hygiene aisle. The cute boy she once knew has become a HOT man. A hot man who seemingly hates her. Great. As the long, hot summer drags on, Chase and Jo find themselves spending more and more time together, resurrecting not-so dead feelings and putting the past behind them. Unfortunately, summer only lasts so long, and even love may not be able to survive long-held secrets that threaten to tear them apart.

The hardest lessons are a lot like a line drive to the heart. Texas Wranglers’ ace Matt Roberts had it all: fame, fortune, his dream job. Until one line drive to the head ended it. Well, at least that was the case according to Twitter. Needing time to let his fractured skull heal—along with his psyche—Matt heads home to Del Rio, Texas, with one goal in mind—getting back to baseball. Unfortunately a certain redhead keeps driving him to distraction. Seventh grade English teacher Jenn McDonnell is not happy that Matt’s come home and is staying with his brother—aka her best friend—while his thick skull heals. And she certainly could do without all the questions their group of friends suddenly has, like, “Why do you hate Matt so much?” Yeah, she totally has no desire to answer that one. Unfortunately for Jenn the questions aren’t letting up, and unfortunately for Matt he can’t get Jenn off of his mind. Can Jenn put past hurt aside and teach Matt that there’s more to life than baseball? Furthermore, can Matt convince Jenn that this relationship isn’t doomed to strike out?

Love’s a shot in the dark… Owen Daniels is a simple man. He has his friends, two thriving businesses, and a kick ass house he renovated himself. He also talks to his dead mom on a regular basis and can’t get a certain curvy brown-eyed woman out of his head. Not to mention the fact that the former soldier and National Guardsman isn’t quite the ladies’ man his friends think he is. Okay, so maybe he isn’t that simple after all. Women’s Three Gun Champion Caridad Mathews is back home in Del Rio, Texas, after leaving seven years ago with a vow to never return. But she’s just inherited her abuela’s house and lost her apartment in Dallas, so back home it is while she tries to get her life back together. The last thing she needs is a sexy ginger distracting her and trying to fight her battles for her. But as Owen and Caridad unearth long-buried secrets, neither can deny the attraction that burns hot between them. Can Caridad learn that trust and vulnerability don’t always lead to heartache and pain? And can Owen break down his own walls and accept that he can’t save everybody?

When opposites attract… Darrin Mann knows what it’s like to claw your way to the top. Growing up as the oldest of four with an absentee mother, Darrin worked his ass off to get out of the little three bedroom house he’d grown up in just outside of Beaumont. Now a hotshot sports agent and Dallas’ newly-crowned Most Eligible Bachelor, Darrin enjoys the finer things in life—expertly tailored Italian suits, the best wine money can buy, and the occasional perfectly coiffed woman. There’s just one problem—being crowned Dallas’ Most Eligible Bachelor isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In an effort to escape the media and random, kind of creepy, pairs of panties being left on his doorstep and mailed to his office, Darrin decides to spend some time down at The Devils Ranch…where he meets single mom Miranda Jacobson, the most imperfectly coiffed woman imaginable. What could Dallas’ Most Eligible Bachelor and a wildlife biologist have in common? More than they think… \\\\ All of the books in the Devils Ranch Series are stand-alone novels and can be read in any order. However, there is a common thread throughout the entire series, so if you do read them out of order you might get some spoilers.
