Luke
2012
Fourth-generation cattleman Luke Parker looks into his childless future and wonders what will become of the ranch he’s worked so hard to preserve. Sarah Magarity’s job with the Department of Children and Family Services has exposed her to the worst side of parenting. So much so that the altruistic redhead doubts she’ll ever have children of her own. The solution to both their problems might be a five-year-old boy abandoned on DCF’s doorstep just days before Christmas, but only if the cowboy can convince a jaded social worker that he’s good father material on a two-week cattle drive through Florida’s version of the Old West. \* This book was originally published in 2012.

Brett
2010
The broad-shouldered Adonis standing on Stephanie Bryant’s front porch cannot fathom why the sassy beauty failed to evacuate along with the other residents of Cocoa Beach, but she has her reasons. With a big promotion at stake, the approaching storm doesn’t figure into Stephanie’s plans any more than falling for the hunkiest cop in Florida. But more than the landscape changes when a hurricane practically blows Florida’s newest resident into the arms of disillusioned cop Brett Lincoln. While the last thing he wants in his life is another self-centered woman, the keys to his emotional survival just might dangle from Stephanie’s perfectly sculpted nails. \* This book was originally published in 2010.

His wildest dreams are finally within reach when Dan is asked to join in building an exclusive medical center on Florida’s east coast. Widowed Jessica Cofer wants little more than to help her young son grow into an honest man and preserve the natural beauty of Phelps Cove. When Dan and Jessica meet, their temperatures rise faster than mercury on a summer day...until she learns the handsome doctor has his eye on more than her curves—he plans to steal the land from under her feet. \*This book was originally published in 2011.

Garrett
2015
Widower Garrett Judd only feels alive when he’s riding so close to the edge that the slightest wrong move will send him into spiraling into Hell-and-gone. Which is fine for him, but it’s no way to raise his infant son. Searching for peace to soothe his soul and heal his grief, Garrett and his baby boy head home to the South Florida ranch his family has worked for four generations. There, following in his father’s and his brothers’ boot steps as the manager of the Circle P, Garrett keeps his distance from everyone...including baby LJ. It’s only in the dead of the night that the grieving father picks up his old guitar and sings a lullaby to the fussy baby until his son falls asleep. After stepping out of the spotlight as lead singer in a popular bluegrass band, Lisa Rose lands in Okeechobee freshly divorced with her career in tatters. She buys a struggling music store in the small town where she supplements her income by performing at local events. When she is hired to provide entertainment for the hired hands during the Circle P’s summer roundup, Lisa agrees to share the stage with a devilishly handsome rancher, despite his bad attitude. Lisa Rose plucks Garrett’s heartstrings as sweetly as she picks the banjo. But when one night of passion has unexpected consequences, can the rancher overcome his fears that history will repeat itself long enough to admit he’s fallen in love with the bluegrass singer...and the child she carries?
