Kissed by a Cowboy

2014

Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Haley Carston returns to Redbud Trails, Oklahoma, to care for her dying aunt. She thinks she’s ready for this homecoming. She’s spent years escaping her perpetual shyness and being Katie Michaels’ tag-along friend, but being back in her hometown brings back a lot of old memories, especially when she is faced with the cowboy she never forgot—Katie’s older brother, Maddox. Twelve years ago, Maddox Michaels was supposed to be somebody. He had everything. A football scholarship. A Division I team scouting him. Maybe even a chance at the pros. Now, he’s a burned-out cowboy working day and night to stay ahead of his brother’s medical bills and keep their family farm from going bankrupt. And trying to be a father-figure for his niece, Olivia. When Haley and Olivia start spending time together, Maddox can’t help remembering those dreams that died alongside his sister. Will being with Haley open his heart to new dreams?

3 Days with a Cowboy

2015

From USA Today bestselling author Lacy Williams comes a new contemporary cowboy romance perfect for fans of The Big Bang Theory. She came looking for a place to hide…and found an unlikely hero. Part-time cowboy and full-time physicist Jake Sutton has enough complications in his life: his younger sister is about to be released from prison, and being a single dad to his five-year-old niece isn’t easy, especially for someone who can understand quantum mechanics more easily than the female mind. He doesn’t need any additional drama, but when country music artist Stevie Flower rolls up to his doorstep in need of help, he can’t say no. Stevie is sick of paparazzi hounding her and hiding a secret grief that no one in her circles—not her fans, her business manager, or her peers—can understand. She and Jake were friends back when he tutored her in high school physics, so when she needs a place to escape, she runs to him. Having Stevie underfoot is both a dream and a nightmare for Jake. The disproportionately large crush he had on her in high school rushes back with a vengeance—but someone like Stevie is in another dimension entirely. Can he offer the comfort she seeks without falling in love with her all over again? This contemporary cowboy novella is number 7 in the Heart of Oklahoma series.
