The night Influencer Rose Dalton gets dumped live on social media—when she and her millions of followers were expecting a marriage proposal—is the night Rose drives away from her life in Seattle. She’s hurt and angry, mostly at herself for becoming someone she hardly recognizes. She’s also at fault when she almost drives off the road near a town called Marietta, earning a scolding from a cowboy with the most amazing blue eyes she’s ever seen.
Cooper Weston is known as the horse whisperer. He prefers animals to people and loves working with skittish and abused horses on his family’s vast ranch. Women love him, and he enjoys them, but he’s yet to meet one who’s interested in anything besides fashion, social media, and taking pictures of everything.
Then he lays eyes on the wounded, secretive Rose, and he wonders if he can trust her with his past, and Rose isn’t sure she’s brave enough to hand over her bruised heart to the quiet, sexy cowboy.

One month. One fake boyfriend. One shot at forever.
I’ve got four weeks to cross one thing off my bucket list—and it isn’t exactly PG.
I’m not the type to take risks, but when a friend battling cancer dares you to go big, you don’t say no. My mission? Lose my V-card before my baby sister’s wedding.
Did I mention she’s marrying my high school crush? Yeah. There’s no way I’m walking into that ceremony as the awkward, untouched older sister.
Enter single dad Ian Barlowe—my sinfully hot, NFL legend neighbor, who owes me big time after his daughter breaks into my house. He offers to make amends by playing my fake boyfriend. How can I say no?
It should be easy enough—except nothing about Ian feels fake. The chemistry? Explosive. His unexpected sweetness? Heart-melting. And the way he seems to like me just as I am? Ruh, roh.
Here’s the thing—I don’t do vulnerability, and neither does he. But as the line between pretend and real starts to blur—especially in the bedroom—I wonder if happily-ever-after is a game we can win.
I set out to score one for the bucket list, but now I’m playing for keeps. And if we’re not careful, I might lose my heart in the final play.

Sometimes, beauty’s not enough…
Carolina Jessamine Boone was created to be beautiful. At least that’s what she’s been told her whole life. So, why is she still alone?
Jessa has a good job at the island winery and is making an old Lowcountry bungalow into a home—she’s content, and certainly has no need for a man. But anonymous gifts left through an old milk door raise both questions and memories of the past. Were the gifts left by the suave outsider who has designs on not just her, but the winery itself? Could they be from the boy who broke her heart years ago? Or is she about to finally discover who her father is?
The more Jessa opens her heart, the more she puts herself at risk. But sometimes heartbreak is simply a nudge onto a new, better path.
