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?

She thinks the boy next door is a real Scrooge. He thinks the girl next door is too nosy for her own good. One stray dog brings them together for a Christmas miracle.
The girl next door is trouble.
Will Harris is a Scrooge and not ashamed of it. So what if his upstairs neighbor is beautiful and wholesome—if somewhat irresponsible and a party animal? He likes his life just the way it is—no family, no girlfriend, no Christmas. No complications. He’s not lonely. Or so he tells himself.
The boy next door needs a friend.
Bridie Taylor can’t turn away someone who needs help. Whether it’s the Grinch who lives downstairs or the dog he rescued after it was run over by a car, she can’t resist the reluctant hero who seems so alone during the holidays. After all, she’d never be a cancer survivor if her friends hadn’t butted in when she needed them the most. Somehow, she ends up a dog-sitter for the mutt who is much more friendly than his owner.
Stuck in a whirlwind that feels suspiciously like a Hallmark movie, Will can’t find a way out—or maybe he doesn’t want to. As he gets closer to Bridie, he discovers she isn’t as flaky as he thought. She has a sweet heart. Bridie knew there was more to Will than the neighborhood grump. She just wasn’t expecting to get swept away by the charming boy next door.
Will went into the whole thing with one Christmas get rid of the dog. And the girl. But when Bridie delivers the news that her cancer might be back, he is thrown into a tailspin. Letting Bridie go might be the easy thing—so why does it feel so wrong?
