The Cowboy’s Daughter by Jamie K. Schmidt

Posted June 6, 2019 by Marsha in Modern Western Romance, Series / 0 Comments

She’s moved home, but can she move on?

One night with professional bull rider Trent Campbell had been everything that Kelly Sullivan had fantasized about. Unfortunately, it cost her everything. When she became pregnant, her father threw her out because she wouldn’t tell him the baby’s father was his rodeo hero—the hero who ghosted her when she tried so many times to tell him about their daughter.

Trent Campbell never forgot the best night of his life. It was what kept him going when a 2,000-lbs bull ended his career and almost his life. Throughout his long recovery, thinking of Kelly and wishing he still had his stolen phone so he could contact her, were what got him through the tough days—that, and his bull-headed stubbornness that he’d not only walk again, he’d ride.

When Kelly returns to Last Stand, Texas, in a last-ditch effort to keep her family from selling the Three Sisters Ranch, she has a plan to make her father proud of her again by turning part of the land into a portrait studio location. Her father, however, has already temporary leased Trent some land for a rodeo school. Kelly and Trent still have the same explosive chemistry, but now the stakes are higher. If she lets Trent into her life, it won’t only be her heart he breaks this time if he leaves, it will be their daughter’s.

The Second Chance Rancher by Kate Pearce

Posted June 4, 2019 by Marsha in Modern Western Romance, Series / 0 Comments

It might be the pride of hard work on rugged terrain, the welcoming community, or the memories–but wherever the folks of Morgantown may roam, they have a way of coming back to the ranch . . .

There’s a reason Jackson Lymond left the Air Force, but he’s not telling a soul. He’d rather keep things simple while trying to start a new life helping his older brother on their northern California ranch. At least Morgantown’s flirty local bartender can keep his mind off the past–that is until he runs into Daisy Miller.

Daisy doesn’t really expect Jackson to remember her. Back in school, she did her best to blend in–and pretend she didn’t have five brothers who’d hogtie any boy who even looked at her. These days though, she and Jackson might have more in common than just their ranching relatives. After all, they both left home only to return. Trouble is, under the watch of her fiercely protective family, Daisy is longing for some privacy. Letting Jackson into her life could make that even more difficult–or it might be the second chance they’re both looking for.

Titles in The Millers of Morgan Valley series include – The Second Chance Rancher – The Rancher’s Redemption –

(Note: The Millers of Morgan Valley is a spin-off series of The Morgan Ranch series. While some characters from the original series do make appearances in the spin-off series it’s not really necessary to have read The Morgan Ranch to enjoy The Millers of Morgan Valley – but – it is a great series that you really shouldn’t miss if you love Modern Western Romance, in my opinion.)
