When 1st Lt. Camilla Walker's commanding officer asks her to help out at his family's dude ranch until he returns from deployment, she never expects to be thrust into a mistaken engagement to his sexy, cowboy twin—a former Navy SEAL who hates the Corps. But before long, Cammie is wishing their fake engagement could be real. The Corps took Finn's father, his girlfriend, and threatened his naval career. He's worked hard for another shot at getting back to active duty. The last thing he needs is a headstrong, unyielding, hot Marine who not only tempts his bed, but soon has him rethinking his goals.

Payback is sweeter when the heart is involved.Former Marine Trisha Jennings has a bright future—law school, a job in her father’s firm, and an engagement to a junior partner…there’s just one problem. Those are her father’s dreams, not hers. She doesn’t want to be a lawyer or a wife. So when her friend’s fiancé tosses her a lifeline in the form of a fake engagement to his twin—her former CO—she grabs on with both hands. After all, the captain’s strong and immovable, the perfect deterrent against her controlling father. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that he’s hot and she’s had a thing for him for years. Former Marine Captain Brett Brennan loves a good practical joke, until the boot is on the other foot and he finds himself in a fake engagement to his sexy, former corporal. Realizing she is struggling to come to terms with an incident from their last deployment, and knowing his ranch is a great place to heal, he uses their fake engagement to help. Afterall, he’d always have his men’s six.But Trisha is no longer a corporal under his command and out of uniform, she is all woman. He wasn’t expecting the strong attraction to the beauty or the fierce desire to help and protect her. Soon, it has him forgetting their prank engagement is just for show. Who knew payback could be so sweet?\\Formally known as Cowboy Payback, now updated with new revisions and additional words\\

After leaving the teams, former Navy SEAL Liam Jennings used his construction background to cultivate a company that gave him a new purpose, a new way to help others. He was happy to leave Texas to build an area for veterans and people with special needs at his SEAL buddy’s Colorado dude ranch. Until he ran into her. The sweet woman from his past. A woman he should’ve resisted but hadn’t…and that lapse in control had brought nothing but bad luck, death, and destruction to his team. It wasn’t her fault. It was his, and he stayed away from her ever since…until now. Stacy Bradshaw loved helping people have fun. Her job as an activity director at a popular dude ranch gave her that opportunity every day. Making guests smile brought her joy but that joy was threatened the moment he showed up at Royal Pines. The man who’d once touched her heart then crushed it. He taught her the beauty of heat…and the cold reality of day. Lesson learned. One she never repeated. Never even considered repeating…until he walked back into her life. Forced to work together, they soon discover that heat is very much alive, and even though they both have misgivings, they agree to give into their chemistry while he is at the ranch. But as the weeks go by without any bad luck or disasters, Liam starts to realize the real disaster was leaving Stacy. He made that mistake once and refused to do it again. But overcoming her trust issues—the ones he created—was the biggest, most important mission of his life.
