Standing the Storm

2022

Life can change in an instant. No one knows that better than Masterson County social worker, Linsey Hodson. She’d learned that lesson fast when a crazy stalker nearly killed her and her best friend Jude fourteen months ago. When a close childhood friend dies, Linsey’s life changes again. Three young children and a brand-new baby girl are now dependent on Linsey to make the world right for them. To be the mother they deserve—to fulfill the promise she’d made long ago. Somehow. Linsey has always been a storm of chaos. He’s smart enough to stay away. Chandler Tyler is a busy man—one with plans. He runs a successful trucking company, has multiple rental properties around Masterson County, and is about to open the restaurant he’s been planning for years. He doesn’t have time to be distracted by that little blond pain-in-the-ass Linsey. Or the chaos that almost always surrounds her. But Linsey needs help, right now. He’s the only one who can give it. Even though every time he gets within range of Linsey, storms erupt instantly. He’d rescue her this one time, then they’d go their separate ways. That sounded like a fair plan to him now. Nothing ever stays the same. But seeing Linsey’s determination to be the mother four innocent kids deserve ignites an answering fire in him. To protect. To help. To hold her in his arms and show her that the storm between her and him is just the beginning of the passion they can create together. While Chandler’s making new plans to get the woman he wants more than anything, someone else is getting much too close. And they are determined to take what matters most from Chandler, however they can. That includes Linsey…and the four children they love so much… STANDING THE STORM is a full-length, small-town western romantic suspense novel and part of the Masterson County connected stand-alone series. The Masterson County series contains scenes of violence, adventure, occasional dark criminal behavior, moderate cursing—especially by villains, a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers. The Masterson County books contain the same level of descriptive content as a typical crime drama on network television—but good always wins out in the end.

Feeling Like Forever

2022

He saved her that night... The old proverb says that if you save a life, it is yours. Well, Gil Tyler had never believed that before. Until he found the gorgeous sheriff’s deputy lying alongside the highway, about to become a victim of the storm. Now, he can’t get her out of his head. Or his heart. But convincing the reluctant-for-romance Sage that he’s not the hot-headed Tyler he used to be is proving harder than he expected. But he’s a Tyler—he knows the woman meant for him when he sees her. It’ll just take some careful planning—and maybe an apology to her brother for that whole breaking his nose thing—to show Sage Gil’s feelings for her are the real deal now. And he wants forever with her… She’s not ready for romance with a man like him. Small towns held their own secrets. Deputy Sage Lowell knows the same holds true for her beloved Masterson County. She’s determined not to let those secrets destroy her town. No matter what the personal cost of the investigation might be. Sage is focused now on solving the biggest case to ever hit Masterson—she doesn’t have the time, or the inclination, to worry about romance. Especially romance with an extra hot rancher. Especially a hot rancher who is one of those hot-headed, hot-tempered Tylers. Tyler men mean trouble—she’s seen it before. A Tyler had broken her brother’s nose once, and she’d almost arrested two for brawling recently. With each other. Yes, she has other things to worry about besides…the intense look of hunger in Gil Tyler’s eyes… Like solving this case before someone Gil loves pays the ultimate price. And Masterson will never be the same again... FEELING LIKE FOREVER is a full-length, small-town western romantic suspense novel and part of the Masterson County connected stand-alone series.
