NEVADA’S PRIDE
In spite of losing her parents at a young age, Nevada had never missed a birthday celebration and her twenty-fifth was going to be life-changing. That is if she can convince her protective older brothers, Dakota and Jericho, to loosen the apron strings and let her claim her granny’s land. With it, she just might have a chance at her own life.
An ex-con, Tanner Jessup, needed a job—bad. Down to his last tank of gas, he has little option but to accept Nevada Sanders’ offer of work. Falsely accused of a crime he hadn’t committed once before by the daughter of a wealthy rancher he trusted, he planned to keep his distance from his new boss lady. But as he worked side by side with her through the long summer days, the attraction that sizzled between them was too hot to ignore.
With the vast differences between them, was it time to move on? Or could he come to terms with his past and find a future with the woman who had stolen the heart right out of his chest?

LAST CHANCE
Chance Mooreland left home at eighteen to join the army. Somewhere out there—away from the 50-acre patch of land in nowhere Colorado—was the life he was meant to live and he intended to find it. Eight years later, he returned. A lot of things had changed in his absence—except for his feelings for the beautiful but untouchable girl next door.
Katherine Fordham, daughter of wealthy rancher Hubert Fordham, had a life that many envied. But what they didn’t know was that Katie had dreams of her own.

When her past finally catches up with her, will it tear them apart or will they take their last stand together?
LAST HOPE
Former soldier and EOD specialist Kellon Granger had pretty much kept to himself since his last tour of duty ended.

Still, when his former army brothers asked him to stay and help out a friend, he found himself agreeing.

Although she wanted that for herself, she had to keep her feet firmly planted in the Colorado soil she’d inherited from her grandparents.

In Kellon, she saw a kindred soul and her spirit ached to ease his obvious pain. Could she risk her heart on a man who wasn’t the staying kind?

FALLING FOR HER COWBOY BOSS
After a military career that could have ended his life, Jacob McKay came back to his family ranch a different man—physically and emotionally.

Carolyn Adams had suffered her own brand of personal hell after losing both of her parents in a tragic accident that had almost claimed the life of her brother as well. An accident that she had walked away from without a scratch. Taking a job as a secretary at one of the largest ranches in Colton Canyon meant that she’d be able to keep her brother in rehab.

Can two lonely people overcome their personal trials and find a way to heal one another?
