Single mom Rebecca Dorchester swore she’d never chase another bad decision—until she packs up her daughter and her sentimental father for a risky reunion with the biological mother and half-sisters she never knew in Marietta, Montana. She definitely doesn’t need the complication of a rugged, heart-stopping cowboy who catches her little girl mid-tumble on day one. But one smoldering look from Harrison Drake, and Rebecca’s carefully guarded heart starts to thaw.

Harrison Drake’s ranch is his entire legacy—land, cattle, and the family name he’s always expected to pass down. Lately, though, the empty spaces in his life have been louder than the Montana wind. When he meets Rebecca and her daughter, he knows exactly what he’s been missing: a woman to love, a family to build.

With old wounds, family drama, and hard-won trust on the line, can Rebecca risk her heart again—and can Harrison prove that this time, love isn’t just another complication?

Amnesia. Surprise pregnancy. Marriage of convenience. One rugged Montana cowboy who must fall in love with the mother of his child… twice.

Laurel Sheridan came to Coffee Creek, Montana, to be maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, not to have a passionate affair with the best man, Corb Lambert. Still, it happens. When tragedy strikes the morning of the wedding, and Corb is seriously injured in a car accident, his memory of their time together is gone. But the consequences—an unplanned pregnancy—are all too real.

When Laurel tells Corb he’s her baby’s father, Corb wants her to give up her life in New York so they can raise the child together in Coffee Creek, Montana. But Laurel has misgivings about the plan. She’s in love with this cowboy, and she wants more than a marriage of convenience.

As Corb grapples with the blank spaces in his past, Laurel faces an impossible choice: protect her heart…or take a chance that a man who doesn’t remember her can fall for her all over again.

He’s the last cowboy she wants to ask for help. He’s the only one offering a chance…

Never in her wildest dreams did equine specialist Maclyn Kane imagine she’d beg her ex for help five years after he tanked her shot at her dream job. But once again, she’s out of work with two horses and a dog to feed, and the independent cowgirl can’t pass up any offers—even humiliating and grudging ones.

Rancher Trev Matthews is desperate to find someone to help him through calving season, so when Maclyn, the woman who wrecked his truck and lied about it at the end of their rodeo careers, responds to his job posting, he reluctantly hires her—temporarily. As soon as he finds someone with experience, she’s out. Or so he thinks.

Time supposedly heals all wounds. It can also provide clarity and proof that he was too quick to judge. But how can the former rodeo star convince the woman who refuses to depend on anyone except herself to trust him, and that the temporary can become permanent?
