Three weeks. One unfinished house. And the man who still knows exactly how to undo her.

Felicity Evans traded in hard hats for high heels the day she left Holly, Montana for Seattle. Now a rising star in the financial world, she doesn’t look back—until her father’s injury drags her home to finish his most important construction project. She’ll manage the crew, keep her heart locked up tight, and be gone before the snow melts.

Then Danny Montgomery shows up.

Once the boy who could make her laugh—and make her knees weak—Danny is now a man whose rough hands and easy grin make it impossible to breathe. She needs his help to meet the deadline, but working side by side only stirs up the heat they’ve been avoiding for years.

Danny’s waited a decade for this second chance, and he’s not wasting it. Every glance, every accidental touch, every long winter night is another chance to remind her exactly what she walked away from.

By Valentine’s Day, the house won’t be the only thing finished. Felicity’s convinced her resolve will be gone too…

A wounded military hero. A small-town doctor with everything to lose. A secret one-night stand… and a surprise pregnancy that could change everything.

Ex–Special Forces soldier and military dog handler Calhoun Miller should be dead. Instead, he’s in Marietta, Montana, chasing a decades-old mystery to honor his fallen team leader. Romance isn’t part of his mission—until a magical night with a beautiful stranger leaves him wanting more. But when a freak accident puts him in the hospital, his vow—and his heart—are suddenly at risk.

Dr. Jory Quinn never expected her sexy, anonymous hookup to turn up in her ER—especially not as her patient. Keeping their night together a secret is the only way to protect her career. But Calhoun’s presence stirs memories she’s tried to bury…and when he reveals he’s investigating the disappearance of her father and brother, staying away becomes impossible.

And now, with her own secret growing, Jory has to decide—will she protect her heart, or risk everything for the only man she’s ever truly wanted?

She’s the town’s quiet bookworm. He’s the tattooed rebel her brother warned her about. Too bad her heart didn’t listen.

Jana Bailey keeps to herself. Running her cozy bookstore. Avoiding drama. But all bets are off the moment Felton struts in—leather jacket, rough hands, and eyes that burn.

He’s trouble. Her brother’s old crew. A single guardian to his kid sister. The kind of man who doesn’t do gentle. But when someone threatens Jana, Felton steps in with fists, fire… and something fierce in his eyes.

The tension sizzles. The kisses? Forbidden and addictive. But Lushhaven doesn’t forget, and neither do the ghosts from his past.

In theory, opposites attract. What happens when they combust?

Former Special Forces soldier Ryder Lea is ready to leave combat behind and return to his cowboy roots as a rodeo stock contractor. But before he can hit the open road, he owes a debt of honor in Marietta, Montana—one last promise to his fallen commanding officer. Community service at a local clinic should be simple…until he meets the sharp-tongued therapist who wants nothing to do with him.

Edison Martin doesn’t have time for charming cowboys with “aw-shucks” smiles. Her clinic is understaffed, her patients deserve real help, and Ryder reminds her of everything she’s lost. She needs competence, not temptation.

But Ryder tackles every task with humor and heart, making it harder for Edi to keep her walls up. As sparks fly and old wounds resurface, they’ll have to decide if love is worth the risk—or if some scars run too deep.

Chrismoose Kisses by Jacqueline Winters

Posted December 30, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance, No Spice Romance, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

All I want this Christmas is to start new traditions with my daughter in our new place—in peace. But when Captain Logan Riley shows up at my doorstep with a letter from Melly’s late father, the quiet holiday season instantly turns to chaos.

I’ve never told anyone who her father is—not my family, my friends, nor the father himself. I’ve certainly never told the handsome soldier who claims to be his best friend. The same man I should definitely not be falling for. It doesn’t matter that he’s made a promise to stick around until I read that letter. He’s not staying beyond a few days, and even if he was, this is all too complicated.

Maybe someone should reiterate that to Ed, though. The local moose, notorious for his matchmaking skills, is currently stalking me. I’ve lived in Sunset Ridge long enough to know what happens when this moose singles you out. But that doesn’t matter. Because I’m absolutely not looking for love this Christmas.

Even if love seems determined to find me.

The point of magic is not to understand it. The point is not to waste it…

Paige Larsen is riding high on her future when she drops into a bar on New Year’s Eve 2019 for a celebratory drink. Will Weber, too, is excited about his life’s direction. Despite clashing personalities—and unexpected physical attraction—they quickly become friends while grooving to 1970s music in this unique joint.

But when Paige and Will each try to find the bar the following day, they realize the night was even more magical than they believed. It seems this bar appears for only a handful of hours every two years in an abandoned city lot on December 31. What’s more, Paige and Will are living in different timelines two years apart.

Over a span of eight years and a multitude of life changes, Paige and Will connect deeply in a fantasy situation that allows them to be their messy, imperfect, vulnerable selves.

Then suddenly, the enchantment—and the bar—disappear for good. Can love offer the magic they need to create a real-life happy ever after?

Rancher’s New Beginning by Olivia Kay

Posted December 14, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Kindle Unlimited, Modern Western Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I knew ranch life would be messy… but I didn’t expect it to personally attack me.

One minute I’m a newlywed trying to waddle my very pregnant self across our porch, and the next I’m watching my sexy cowboy husband argue with a tractor like it owes him money.

And somehow, between the broken fences, the weather, and Boone stealing every baby sock we own, Tanner Briggs and I are supposed to be building our happily‑ever-after at Rising Star Ranch.

He’s calm, collected, and unfairly gorgeous. I’m hormonal, sleep‑deprived, and absolutely not immune to the way he touches me in the bedroom.

Then the baby comes early. The barn roof gives up on life while revealing past secrets. And the whole town starts treating us like their favorite reality TV show.

I watch him holding our daughter, and it makes me fall for him all over again.

Then life throws a bigger curveball than either of us is ready for.

The scariest part of loving Tanner isn’t the chaos; it’s realizing how easily I could lose everything I’m fighting for.

To make matters worse, the only person who can help her finish the project on time is her younger brother’s best friend, the rugged cowboy she’s trying to forgive and forget.

In the snowy mountains of Montana, widowed bladesmith Hart Amory guards his solitude like a treasure. Ten Christmases have passed since his wife’s death, leaving a hollow ache that echoes in the rhythm of his hammer on the anvil. With only Frank, his faithful furry friend, by his side, Hart endures each winter alone with his grief and pain.

But this year, a blizzard brings more than snow to his door. Five days before Christmas, Nessa, a spirited woman with eyes as bright as winter stars, and her teenage daughter Wren, become stranded when they travel up the mountain to interrupt Hart’s self-imposed exile with an impossible request: replicate the heirloom knife Wren’s late father gave her so she can take part in her family’s Christmas tradition.

Only Hart has the skill to pull off the miracle they need, but it means letting Nessa and Wren into his life. With each shared cup of cocoa, each whispered secret, and each smile cast his way, feeling returns to his frostbitten heart.

As Christmas grows nearer, Hart must make the choice between letting go of his grief and misery or letting go of Nessa and the hope she brings. Can he forge not just a knife, but a second chance at joy?

As a busy ER intern, Holly Vincent doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities.

But when she’s stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly cocky, hotter-than-the-sun, downstairs neighbour Danny Colton, she decides to bend her rules and let the filthy-mouthed hottie talk her into having some fun.

A stranger with no name. A family with too much to hide. And a storm that could bury the truth forever.

Private investigator Samantha Price thought winter in Marietta, Montana, might slow things down. But with the high-profile trial of Benjamin Bennet dominating headlines, and her agency, Honor’s Edge Investigations, busier than ever, there’s no rest in sight.
