How to Fall for a CowboyKris Bock
A billionaire cowboy with something to prove. A feisty neighbor who wants nothing to do with him. And one bachelor auction that changes everything. For years, TC Tomlinson has lived in his older brother’s shadow. Now, with his family’s sudden lottery win, he’s finally ready to chase his own dream of raising alternative livestock on his Texas ranch. But when he catches a gorgeous stranger cradling one of his runaway ostrich chicks, TC jumps to the wrong conclusion. Surely she’s just another woman looking to cozy up to the new billionaire cowboy. Hallie Armstrong isn’t impressed. A former vet tech, she came to Last Stand to help at her aunt’s wildlife rescue and heal from her own past scars. She doesn’t need a protective cowboy assuming the worst, though she wouldn’t mind wrangling him into helping her fundraiser. And what better way than starring as the main prize in a bachelor auction? As sparks fly and danger closes in, TC’s protective instincts could ruin everything. Can he prove to Hallie that she can have her independence and his heart too?

Scars Forget Us: A Small-Town Western Redemption RomanceGreta Rose West
From internationally bestselling small-town western romance author, Greta Rose West, Scars Forget Us is a story of redemption, of second and third chances, and of a love that perseveres in the face of adversity. Dixon Lee doesn't think he deserves a comeback, but he wants one desperately. He's done things in his life he can't excuse, things he doesn't have hope he'll ever be forgiven for. Leaving his family when they needed him most should probably earn him a one-way ticket to Hell. The scars he wears won't let him forget his mistakes, but he has to try. His purpose after a long, self-imposed exile is to make things right with the only person who matters: his five-year old son. The shame he's felt, the blurry picture he carries in his wallet, and the torn piece of Stuart's baby blanket in his front pocket tried to break his resolve to stay clean, but the memory of a girl he used to know, laughing in a western meadow, played in his head every day, and the echo of her voice has gotten him through countless sleepless nights. When Dixon hitchhikes back into Wisper, Wyoming, planning to finally face his past, the last person he expects to run into is his memory girl. Avery Jane Harlowe's not just a small-town girl. She's a woman, and her only dream has always been to run the floral shop her gran started when Avery was a baby. She let a man get in her way once, and her heart barely survived. She won't give it away so easily again, but when Dixon shows up back in town and she gets the urge to love him like she did when they were kids, she refuses to be that naïve girl this time around. Dixon's certainly not little anymore, and as much as he tries to make her believe he's irredeemable, Avery knows it's not true. He's beautiful and strong and desperately broken but learning how to love himself. She wants to risk it, to help him see himself the way she sees him, but Dixon has heartbreak written all over his back, even has it tattooed there. Falling in love with Dixon Lee would be a messy complication, and it would set her world on fire, but something tells her the burn might just be the very thing she needs. In the shadow of the Grand Teton Mountains, Scars Forget Us is the second chance that might break your heart, but the mending is the good part, and it will leave you breathless. All books in the Wisper Dreams series can be read as standalones, but will be more fully enjoyed from the beginning.

Curves and Spurs: Claiming RebeccaEmme Salt
In Fort Charles, it's a tradition for two cowboys to share one woman. And now, innocent Rebecca Smith is about to learn just how naughty and decadent it feels to be the subject of two men’s desires. Rebecca’s been locked up by ranch owner Carl Lawson for daring to question him...but an unspoken agreement between Carl and his right-hand man Jamie gives Becky her one chance to escape. Will she risk the wrath of the two alpha male cowboys or submit to their plans for her future? * * * “Consequences,” he said, softly, at last. On his tongue it sounded even darker and more dire than in my own mind. “Becky...take off your clothes.” I could feel my breath shuddering as I unbuttoned my blouse and peeled off my skirt. “Everything,” he ordered, his voice like stone. “Then get back on your knees.” I did as I was told, my skin prickling with goose bumps despite the heat. I could feel their eyes on me. Carl slid a hand over my cheek, his touch somehow rough and tender at the same time. “I’ll go easy on you,” he said at last. “Hell, most men wouldn’t have let you leave ‘em once before they’d claimed you properly.” His gaze connected with Jamie behind me, as if rebuking him. “I thought I wouldn’t be like them, not with you. But it seems that a man’s got to make a claim to what belongs to him,” he said, slowly. “And a woman in your position has got to learn to take it.”

The Rancher’s Inescapable LoveSJ McCoy
The Rancher’s Inescapable Love is the sixth book in SJ McCoy’s sweet n steamy MacFarland Ranch series, and the second to feature an older couple – in their fifties. Ace Zielinski is a laid-back kind of guy. He’s had his share of adventure, and now he’s content to live a quieter life back home in Paradise Valley. Surrounded by lifelong friends, and never short on offers of female company, he enjoys dating, but prefers to keep his relationships short and sweet. He values his solitude up in his cabin above the ranch too much – no way does he want a woman disturbing his peaceful life. He doesn’t mind going out of his way to help people. Last summer he helped a woman who came to the valley in the wake of a difficult divorce. Now, he’s about to be reminded that no good deed goes unpunished. Ariana Knightly cannot figure out how her life got turned upside down so completely and abruptly. Yes, she knew that she might face some blowback after handling Stella Ansari’s divorce last year, but she never suspected that she’d find herself in danger, ousted from her own law firm, and worse still, stuck in the middle of nowhere, Montana. Staying on the same ranch where Stella hid out last summer seemed like a good idea. However, Ari hadn’t taken into account that the winters in Montana are a whole lot different from the summers. But not even the subzero temperatures outside can lower the heat levels whenever she’s faced with Ace Zielinski. All she knew from Stella was that Ace was a nice guy who’d helped her out. Nice? Ha! Not one of the many words Ari would use to describe him. Hot? Check. Infuriating? Absolutely! Irresistible? Possibly. As for Ace, he doesn’t need some big-city lawyer around, especially not one like Ariana Knightly – she disturbs his peace in a way that no other woman ever has. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, but he’s fighting a losing battle to keep her at a distance. When a major winter storm hits, Ace and Ari find themselves trapped in his cabin. They’re snowed in with no way to escape each other – and no way to avoid the attraction that’s been growing between them. Even if they can survive each other, they'll still have to face the danger that's closing in.

But seeing Jackson Harker back in town reminds me that there's another place I could stay temporarily--his family's abandoned house. Desperate to avoid another night in my car, I sneak into the house--to find Jackson already staying there. I'm not about to stick around, not with his reputation and definitely not with the way I find myself attracted to him, but a spring snowstorm takes the decision out of my hands. It's just one night, on one air mattress. One night turns into two, and then three, and before I know it, I'm finding that so much I'd heard about Jackson Harker is wrong. The longer I stay, the more I fall for him. But the danger that comes with him is real. Marybeth I'm the happiest I've ever been with Gabe. We've moved into a small house together, he's busy with plans to get the family ranch back with his brothers Jackson and Nick, and I've finally decided on a way to get my shop to survive the upcoming summer in our small town. But there's one person who isn't happy with any of it--my brother, Luke. Luke can't set aside the past, and he's convinced the Harkers are back to stir up trouble. When I try to reason with him, he gives me an ultimatum: choose a side. But how can I pick between my family and the man I love? It doesn't matter, though, because Luke chooses for me. He's determined to get the Harkers to leave town, and he doesn't care who stands in his way. This is a story of family, romance, and friendship told through 3 viewpoints--Emily, Jackson, and Marybeth. If you love cowboys, Yellowstone -style drama, big families, small western towns filled with secrets, and sweet romance with a touch of suspense, this book is for you!

Margaret's Music BoxKirsten Osbourne
With only two young girls, Margaret Bolling, a widow, has been left with nothing. Desperate to survive, she takes her girls from their home in Kentucky to Independence, Missouri—the starting place of the two-thousand-mile trek to Oregon Territory. She only has herself to rely upon, and with her finances in dire straits, she sells baths and meals on the trail after driving her wagon all day. Everyone is so friendly—but one man always seems to be there when she needs help. After falling in love with Margaret the moment he saw her at the general store in Independence, Jamie Prewitt is determined to help her and the girls during the journey—but do it without her realizing it. He takes her meat he kills and sneaks some of his own food storage into hers while she sleeps. But after a month of watching her struggle on the trail, he asks her to marry him—only, their marriage will be platonic until she's ready for a real one. Margaret likes Jamie, but is she betraying her beloved Tom by marrying him? And can she ever learn to rely on someone other than herself again?

Clover DreamsMarie Johnston
I went to Vegas to get married and ended up saying “I do” to my fiancé’s brother. My dream wedding in Las Vegas turns into a scandalous nightmare when my fiancé gets married—to another woman. Pregnant, unemployed, and dangerously close to losing a house that was supposed to kickstart my next phase of life, I’m out of options. Until Sullivan, my ex-groom’s black-sheep brother, makes an offer that changes everything: marry him instead. I get to keep the house, he gets to work on his start-up in peace, and we just have to cohabitate for a year. I don’t expect playing house to feel so natural. Or to see Sullivan for who he truly is without baseless comparisons to his brother. I definitely don’t expect to wish I could see what he’s like as a dad beyond our year together. Then there was that one time in the laundry room with him… and in the bathroom…and on the kitchen table. I could go for much more of that. As the calendar pages turn, I’ve been wishing this was the beginning and not the end. But I was let down in the most humiliating way possible. I can’t waste my clover dreams on a man who could devastate my heart worse than before.
