Posted September 6, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Modern Western Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

He’s spent years polishing his bad boy reputation…

Thaddeus (T.R.) McClintock is the black sheep of his large ranching family, and he can swing a hammer and play guitar like he’s caressing a lover. He’s the epitome of a playboy, yet when he pulls Charlize Bradford up on stage one night to sing, the gorgeous, brainy wallflower rocks his world. T.R.’s life in the fast lane screams to a halt. But the single mom is wary for good reason, and for the first time, T. R. is determined to make a good impression.

The last thing dethroned pageant queen, Charlie, needs is a cowboy mechanic who’s the infamous frontman in a band. His megawatt grin coupled with his kindness and admiration tempts the paleontology professor, who studies extinct daisies, to contemplate a fling. Then T.R. shows hidden depths and bonds with her daughter, and Charlie knows she’s in trouble.

T.R. never imagined falling in love, and Charlie vowed to never again give a man a chance. But she has a secret, and stepping into the spotlight could be dangerous.

A laid-back Montana cowboy who flies by the seat of his pants and dodges commitment. A buttoned-up organizer who plans every detail—until one impulsive night flips her world upside down.

Carson Weston lives in chaos—his ranch house a disordered mess, and his relationships are as casual and temporary.

Then a sizzling, no-names night in a Spokane bar with the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen ends with him waking alone.

Abby Swanson thrives on order. After a chaotic foster-care childhood, she plans every detail and discards anything messy—especially emotions. One-night stands? Never. Until that hot cowboy, the one with one blue and one brown eye, makes her break every rule—just this once. When Abby arrives in Marietta to organize her best friend’s new home on the Weston Ranch, the last person she expects is Carson, complete with a meddling matchmaking family.

She’s building a future on his land.  He has to take it away.

When former rodeo rider Jordan Matthews inherits a ranch from the father he never knew, he plans to sell it fast—until he learns the deal comes with one condition: the property must be empty. Lil McAllen refuses to leave. After losing her father and her home, Lil has rebuilt everything on that land—for herself and her younger sister. Walking away isn’t an option.

If Jordan can’t force her out, the deal collapses—and with it, his only chance to leave the past behind for good. Then the ranch becomes a target. Fences are cut. Equipment is sabotaged. Livestock disappears. With danger closing in, Jordan has no choice but to stay and protect what isn’t his—working side by side with the woman who stands in his way.

Lil doesn’t take risks. Jordan is nothing but risk. But the longer he stays, the harder it is to ignore the truth—the man who came to take everything might be the one she can’t afford to lose.

When her fiancé becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation, private investigator Samantha Price has one job—prove he’s innocent before the evidence says otherwise.

Samantha barely has time to admire the engagement ring Nate Bennet slips on her finger when a homicide detective is at the door. A problematic client from Honor’s Edge is dead, and Nate is the prime suspect. It’s history repeating itself for Sam, and she can’t help but feel like she and the Bennetts are cursed the second they try to grab a moment of good.

But with Nate’s family and friends rallying around not just him, but her as well, Sam spearheads her own investigation into the murder—even as the cops and the lead detective she once thought was a friend attempt to cut her out.

Unfortunately, the deeper Sam, the Bennets, and the Harringtons look, the more obscure the trail becomes. But no one is giving up without a fight.

As a child, Sam failed to exonerate her father. As an adult, she has to succeed, or lose everything she’s worked so hard to build.
