The Cowboy's One and Only

2020

Change is inevitable. If you see the good in the change, it can make all the difference. Acceptance takes longer for some than others. Logan Thackston wasn't dealing with the changes that were coming well. In fact, he was choosing to be involved only when absolutely necessary. In the middle of his worry and annoyance about what felt like turmoil in his family, he met a woman who turned out to be his lifeline. Frankie Mills has been sent to live with her grouchy uncle while her parents jaunt around the world. The small town of Sagebrush, Texas was vastly different for a young woman than it had been for a child. The adventures didn't live up to her pleasant memories. And Uncle Elmer seemed more crusty than she remembered. Frankie and Logan met by chance and made a date the very night they met. They both felt the sparks. Their first date was a rock climb up Logan's favorite spot that lasted hours longer than planned. By the time they made it to Frankie's house, trouble was brewing. And from there, trouble was always near the surface. Though there was an intense pull to each other, it couldn't be permanent. Frankie would go back to Richmond one day - probably sooner rather than later. So they kept things simple. Easy. But were either of them happy to settle for this tepid friendship? When an accident changes the balance between them something snaps. The balance they'd created to survive the unknown was shattered. There were more unknowns now than ever before. While Logan tries to heal, will he be able to figure out what he really wants with Frankie? And when he does, will his plan be one that would work for everyone - including his family and hers, too? ~ ~ ~ Meet the family of ranchers in this book 1 as they do all they can to make their ranch thrive while making life meaningful. Each story in the series has a happy ending and no cliffhangers. Each book will have one brother finding love and a happily ever after.

The Cowboy's Troublemaker

2020

They joined forces to destroy a relationship, not start one of their own ... Rodeo cowboy Chase Thatcher knows his mother deserves to have romance in her life. Just not now. Not so soon after his father’s death. Plus, the man she met while traveling just seems…shady. So it only makes sense to hire an investigator and dig up whatever dirt he can on the guy. What he never expected to find, however, was the man’s fiery and entirely too beautiful daughter. . . Renata Ricci isn’t exactly thrilled with her estranged father’s new love affair, either. The last thing she needs is some gold-digger stealing her family’s money. She’ll put an end to this nonsense if it’s the last thing she ever does. If only she could focus and keep her mind off the fiercely loyal and distractingly handsome Chase. . . It’s not long before Chase and Renata realize there’s more between them than they ever would’ve thought possible. But can they overcome the secrets and lies their relationship was built on to find their way to happily ever after? Or are they destined to go their separate ways? Read preview >

2020

A fresh start can sweep an unpleasant past away. Unless the past refuses to be forgotten… Secretly carrying a torch for the woman of his dreams, Garrett Thatcher believes he’s done the right thing. His brothers are happily paired and his mother has returned home. He’s been instrumental in smoothing the discord his family had endured. Now it’s his turn to settle down to make a life for himself. Meredith Young has put her heart into her job as the local doctor in Sagebrush. She’s sacrificed her happiness long enough and now it’s time to start thinking about a husband. And maybe some kids. Time moves slowly in Sagebrush, Texas, and even slower over at the Blessed Ridge Ranch. Too slow for Meredith to wait for what she really wants. Sensing that the moment is finally right, Garret pours his heart out to her. To his surprise, Meredith has chosen someone else over him. Normally stoic, he grapples with anger and betrayal as he faces the prospect of losing her. Garrett’s reaction initially puts her on the defensive, and Meredith keeps looking for ways to justify her choice to move away with her new love. As it gets harder to ignore the signs that her destiny might lie back in Sagebrush, she struggles with how to go back in time… or if that’s even possible. After so much water has rushed under the bridge, can the two who are meant to be together make a new start?
