The Wrong Ride Home
2025
She’s my first love. She’s also my father’s mistress’s daughter.
I’m Duke Wilder, and this is my story.
I left Wildflower Canyon and Wilder Ranch ten years ago away from my father and Elena—the girl I loved before I found out she was the daughter of my father’s mistress.
Now my father is gone, and he’s left the ranch to me. I come back ready to sell it off piece by piece, to destroy his so-called legacy, and finally get revenge on the land that failed my mother.
But coming back to the Colorado ranch country feels like stepping into a part of myself I’ve tried to forget. The wide-open skies, the mountains, the horses—it’s all still in my blood. And so is Elena, no matter that I’ve brought my girlfriend with me.
Elena never left the ranch. Even after her mother passed, she stayed, caring for my father until the end. They call her the horse whisperer, and it’s easy to see why. She’s incredible at what she does.
I should hate her. But I can’t. The fire we had all those years ago never died. Being near her feels like standing too close to the sun—and it burns just the way I like it.
I try to fight how I feel for her, but I give up when I realize that I want more than revenge. I want Elena. I want the ranch. But after everything that’s happened, she doesn’t trust me. Maybe she never will.

The Mountain Echoes
2025
He's my enemy, and I don't trust him.
So why does he make my heart beat faster?
I'm Aria Delgado, and this is my story.
Ten years ago, my fiancé betrayed me in the worst way—he chose my sister. I swore I’d never set foot on Longhorn Ranch again. But now, I don’t have a choice. My father is gone, the family ranch is on the verge of collapse, and half of it belongs to me, the other half to my sister, and she can’t sell it fast enough.
I won’t let that happen. My ancestral home is more than dirt and fences—it’s my legacy. But the odds are stacked against me. The debts are too high, and someone is trying to drive me out of my land.
As the pressure mounts, one man keeps appearing in my Maverick Kincaid, the powerful, relentless rancher who wants Longhorn for himself. Smooth-talking, sharp-eyed, and my sister's close friend—he’s everything I don't trust. But when danger comes knocking, he’s the one who steps in to protect me.
The tension between us is a slow-burning wildfire, and I don’t know if I want to put it out or let it consume me.
Every stolen moment with Mav is a risk. Every touch is a gamble. I’m terrified that history is going to repeat itself and that, once again, the man I'm in love with is going to choose my sister.
