Texas is a chance to start over….

Jackson Thorpe looks like he has it all—the star of the hottest modern-day western—he’s wealthy and adored by millions. But after the loss of his wife in a horrific accident, he walks away from Hollywood to be close to his widowed sister in Last Stand, Texas, hoping the change will help his young son emotionally heal.

Sought-after horse trainer, Nicole Baylor, is a cowgirl to her core. She loathes the popular Western series and its absurdly handsome star because the show is so fake—it’s even shot in California.

Jackson’s uncomfortable taking help from a beautiful cowgirl who clearly doesn’t like him or what he does, but after seeing his son’s progress, he now worries Nic may have lassoed his heart.

My Billionaire Booty Call by Heidi Rice

Posted October 1, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Previously Published, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I’ve had a Valentine’s Day curse ever since dumping my cheating ex twelve months ago… Leaving me celebrating this year in a crowded Soho pub with only my two BFFs, a bar full of bacholorettes on a bender and a jug of pomegranate daquiris for company…

Tash and Imo decide the only way to break my curse is to have my first-ever one-night hook-up – strictly no relationship agendas allowed. Then they spot the perfect candidate – all broody bad boy vibes and shoulders to die for – sitting at the bar alone.

Armed with the cheesiest chat-up line ever invented (gee, thanks, Tash and Imo) and one too many pomegranate daquiris, I decide to go for it… What’s the worst that could happen?

Um, quite a lot actually, when Cal turns out to be the world’s hottest kisser (yup, that cheesy chat-up line actually worked!), but I pass out on his sofa and wake up the next morning with the world’s worst hangover and no idea if we broke my curse or not.

One major misunderstanding and a touch of life modeling later, and Cal finally breaks my Valentine’s Day curse, for real…

But what do I do when my brooding billionaire booty call turns out to be so broken my sneaky heart starts wanting to break the second rule of one-night hookups: absolutely no falling in love allowed!

She doesn’t trust his charm. He’s determined to prove he’s not like the rest of his family.

Naomi Moreno has big plans for her family’s struggling High Desert Tours—plans her older sister keeps shutting down. After watching her father make one risky decision too many, Naomi’s committed to doing things right… and definitely not falling for smooth talkers with secret agendas.

Boone Reyes was raised by con artists. He’s worked hard to leave that world behind, aiming for a legit future—and a job as a rock climbing instructor could be the start. To win Naomi’s trust, he offers a deal: he’ll help her snag new wedding clients for the hot air balloon business if she trains with him on the rocks.

As business booms and their chemistry builds, Naomi starts to wonder if she misjudged Boone. But when his recently paroled father shows up, convinced Boone’s working a new con, everything they’ve built is at risk.

Outlaw Lake by Maisey Yates

Posted September 30, 2025 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Kensington Books, Kindle Unlimited, Modern Western Romance, NetGalley, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

True to their family name, the Wilders of historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, have an outlaw lineage and a wild nature to match. But when it comes to love, an untamed heart might know best . . .

Carson Wilder and Perry Bramble have been best friends forever, starting with their painful childhoods. As far as romance, Carson always knew he wasn’t good enough for her. And by the time they were grown, their bond was too important to risk messing up. Now, Carson is grieving the death of his wife. And like always, Perry is his rock. He can’t imagine life without her. But he may have to.

Perry has loved Carson since she was 7 years old. He never showed a hint of interest in her beyond friendship, but two-plus decades later, he’s still the most important person in her life. Maybe too important. Inspired by the diary of an ancestor who left everything behind to come west as a mail order bride, Perry stuns Carson with a decision: She’s moving to a neighboring city to expand her florist business—and to find love and start a family.

Carson hates the idea, but he’ll do anything for Perry’s happiness. He’ll even help get her historic home fixed up for sale. She can stay with him at his ranch house on Outlaw Lake in the meantime. What ensues are dinners filled with laughter, dating app disasters—and Carson wondering why he’d look for another woman when the one he loves is right here. His answers may lie in the letters he finds from the man who married the mail-order bride. . . . But can he finally gather the courage to be true to his wild heart—before it’s too late?
