US Marshal Cassie Parker excels under cover. When her boss sends her to Red Cliffs, Texas, to keep tabs on the criminal mastermind she’s been hunting for three years, she jumps at the chance. But convincing the irritatingly handsome rancher, Cole Connors, to play along might be her hardest mission yet.
When Cole learns his ex-wife is unexpectedly arriving with a fiancé in tow who might be a criminal, he’ll do anything to protect his eight-year-old daughter, even pose as a happy couple with the sassy and sexy marshal with control issues.
As Cassie and Cole pretend to be engaged, it’s challenging to remember what’s real and what’s fake. For Cassie, the time spent with Cole and his daughter awakens a yearning for more than a career diving from one undercover job to the next, never having roots or a home. Cole is leery of letting down his guard as he’s been burned before.
When the threat is over and Cassie’s assignment ends, can their make-believe engagement become something real?

Lawson offers what Liv knows she shouldn’t want: a reckless, wickedly hot weekend with no strings. She should say no. But how can she resist the man who makes her feel desired for the first time in years?
Lawson’s own scars run deep, with heartbreak and betrayal he’s never shared. For three unforgettable nights, he’ll worship Liv’s body and tease her mind. Hinting that what begins as pure pleasure could prove to be something far more.

Putting down roots means something very different to this Midwest girl and sexy Montana cowboy.
Natalie Wright loves being a development coordinator for new construction. But while the travel was exciting at first, she’s ready to put her suitcase away. All she needs is one more successful project, which seems simple until a certain cowboy walks into her public hearing in Marietta, Montana.
Sam Miles has his hands full overseeing the Flying J ranch and being a single dad. But when he learns there are plans to drop some swanky resort on the land next door, he will do all he can to block the project—a task that would be infinitely easier without Natalie’s megawatt smile.

Welcome to Claw Haven, where monsters go to find some peace and quiet.
Going home for Christmas wasn’t on chimera Arthur Pineclaw’s to-do list, not since he left the sleepy town of Claw Haven over a decade ago. He’s back now for one reason only—to film a cozy holiday romance. Two weeks of smiling for the cameras and charming his fans, and he can go back to LA. Easy. After all, there’s no one he can’t charm.
No one except for Emma Curt, the high school sweetheart he dumped on Christmas Eve. The same woman who apparently owns the café they’re filming in.
Emma never would’ve agreed to let her café be a filming location for a rom-com if she’d known Arthur Pineclaw was the lead. She’d rather eat rocks than be civil to the guy who abandoned her to become a movie star—on Christmas Eve.
But as the two spend more time together, it’s easy to fall into old habits…and into bed. Just because things are still good between them doesn’t mean Emma’s ready for anything more, but when their unexpected reunion stirs up old feelings—and old arguments—a second chance romance might be the gift they both need.

Destiny’s River, Texas: A chance to begin a new life—and new loves.
Victoria “Tori” Parker has been searching since childhood for a place she and her three siblings can call home. She’s found that and more in Destiny’s River, where she put down roots, bought a bed and breakfast, and successfully ran for mayor.
Her siblings have other ideas on planting roots, but she’s determined to make Destiny’s River irresistibly livable for her family and long-term residents alike. She’s eyeing a local hot springs as a public use project—if only good-looking rancher Caden Wright would stop being stubborn and put the good of the community ahead of his property.

Collins Cartwright does not want to go home. Sweetwater Peak, Wyoming, was supposed to be in her rearview mirror, but when she finds out a developer is trying to buy her parents’ antiques shop out from under them, she doesn’t have a choice—at least, that’s what she tells her family. They don’t need to know she’s lost her job and is out of money. Or that the ghosts who have always been her companions have recently gone silent.
But just because she’s returned home doesn’t mean she has to stay with her parents or crash on her twin sister’s couch. Lucky for her, the new-to-town upholsterer has a room for rent above his store. Unluckily, it is absolutely crawling with more ghosts who are freezing her out. And Collins hates being ignored.
Brady Cooper is absolutely and totally fine. Seriously, there’s no secret reason why he decided to uproot his life and suddenly move to Sweetwater Peak. He just needed a change of pace. At least that’s what he tells himself. And everyone else.
When he agrees to let the elusive Collins Cartwright stay in his spare room, he doesn’t know that she’s absolutely bonkers—constantly talking to herself and having conversations with no one—or that she looks like that. But as they begin to get closer, the lines between them start to blur, leaving both of them—and the ghosts who have been pushing them together—wondering whether their temporary arrangement could be something more permanent.

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?
