Cowboy Elite: JoeMindy Neff
He had one ambition left. She walked right through it in three-inch heels. Joe Watkins came home from the war with steady hands and a heart that wouldn't quiet down. Ten years of flying medevac taught him how to land in the dark, how to hold a man together until the doctors could take over, and how to keep every bit of it locked behind an easy smile. Now he runs cattle and guests at the Watkins family dude ranch in Bear Valley, Texas, and he has exactly one ambition left. Stillness. Emma Blackstock has never been still a day in her life. She plans the kind of Dallas weddings that end up in magazines, she's about to get her name on the door of the best firm in the city, and she stopped believing in forever the year she watched her mother cry through a fifth divorce. Three weeks in a town with one traffic light and a restaurant named Cooters was not the plan. Neither was the quiet cowboy who keeps showing up with coffee and a goat named Tiny following him like a dog. Between a meddling grandfather with a Corvette and a jet, a ranch full of family and guests with opinions, and a wedding that's quietly being sabatoged, two people who agreed this was strictly business are running out of ways to pretend that it’s not. Some vows get spoken at an altar. Some get made on a dark porch, in a whisper, when nobody else is listening. A sweet, closed-door, small-town Texas billionaire romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Book Three in the Cowboy Elite series. Each book stands alone. • ★ Secret billionaire cowboy hero with a military medevac pilot past • ★ City-girl heroine who doesn’t believe in forever • ★ Forced proximity on a working Texas dude ranch • ★ Found family that closes ranks around its own • ★ Slow-burn romance, behind-closed-doors heat • ★ A scene-stealing six-year-old, a goat named Tiny, and a cat with criminal tendencies • ★ Standalone with HEA — Book 3 in the Cowboy Elite series

Olivia Langford had a thriving Manhattan dessert bar, a five-star reputation, and a life she'd built from scratch — until the night she catered the wrong party and watched the wrong man pull a trigger.

She didn't count on Mike Watkins. A retired Marine combat medic turned cowboy ranch cook, Mike has spent years feeding people instead of patching them up.

But shadows are circling the Watkins Ranch. A mafia boss has decided the only loose end left is the woman who saw too much. And Mike didn't survive combat to lose the woman who finally makes him feel alive. She came to Bear Valley to hide. She's about to find out what it feels like to be found.

The Best Thing He Never WantedSJ McCoy
**THE BEST THING HE NEVER WANTED** *A Standalone MacFarland Ranch Novel* *A heartwarming, later-in-life, grumpy-sunshine romance* Among the MacFarlands, Blane is the big, stone-faced one who guards everyone he loves from the corner of the room—and would sooner face down an enemy combatant than admit he has feelings. He's never wanted a wife, a cozy home, or anyone waiting up to ask why he's late. He likes his life exactly as it is: quiet, ordered, and free of unnecessary emotions. Then a security job takes him to London—and introduces him to Bea. After a difficult marriage and two years of widowhood, Bea is finally free to build a life that belongs entirely to her. She's leaving England for an old house in a Cretan village above the sea, and she has no intention of letting a man shape her future ever again. Especially not a large Montana cowboy who communicates mostly in frowns, keeps appearing whenever she needs an extra pair of hands, and seems personally offended by anything he can't fix. Bea fills the silence. Blane pretends to object. She makes him laugh. He denies it happened. One unexpected day together should be harmless. Bea's moving to Crete. Blane's going home to Montana. They're old enough—and sensible enough—to resist the kiss they both want and walk away with no more than a fond memory. Unfortunately, sensible has never stood much of a chance against the real thing. And Blane is about to discover that everything he never wanted might be exactly what he's been missing. *The Best Thing He Never Wanted* is a warm, funny, later-in-life romance about freedom after loss, love across an ocean, and finding the real thing when you thought your chance had passed. Some love stories start at twenty-two. The best ones start when you've lived enough to know exactly what they're worth. The tropes you love—with people who've lived.

Surly CowboyElana Johnson
He's got a reputation to uphold and he's not all that amused the way regular people are.

Can Lee and Rosalie let bygones be bygones and make a family filled with joy? Lee Cooper hasn't been interested in getting his heart stomped on again, thank you very much. He's the oldest brother, and the entire future of Sweet Water Falls Farm rests on his shoulders. Oh, and he's got his eight-year-old son to consider. So he doesn't laugh or even smile that often. Big deal. Lots of people barely smile, don't they? Maybe not Rosalie Reynolds, who is seriously the brightest ray of sunshine in Texas. At least in Lee's opinion. She develops educational video and board games, and she's the one who had him star-struck and silent after the demo. It wasn't that he didn't want to cheer and clap, it was that...he's forgotten how to act around pretty women. Rosalie has plenty keeping her out of the dating pool too, the least of which is her business, which she runs solo, and her daughter, a four-year-old with a lot more energy than her mother. As Lee and Rosalie start to see each other, she has some past obstacles to clear before the relationship can progress, and he's got some mental blocks about women he needs to erase. It's so hard for him to be positive, and he's not sure he can be different...but he wants to try. Will Rosalie stick around long enough to sweeten the surly cowboy? Or will she decide the smart thing to do is to set Lee free?

Journey To SawyervilleDebra Samms
Five unwanted women. One lawless logging town. And a journey no delicate bride would dare to make. Maeve Harrison knows exactly what men see when they look at her—and it is never beauty. Tall, sharp-tongued, plain-faced, and hardened by years in the Merrimack Mill, Maeve has long understood that marriage, comfort, and a family of her own are dreams meant for prettier women. But when two recruiters arrive from Sawyerville, Oregon, looking for brides willing to marry the rough loggers of a frontier town, Maeve hears something different. A chance. Sawyerville is no polished settlement. It is a muddy, violent logging camp filled with nearly a thousand hard-drinking, brawling men and only a handful of women. Sheriff William Strong and his wife Molly believe brides may be the one thing that can turn the wild camp into a true town. But most women would never survive such a place. Maeve and her four friends just might. They have grown up poor, worked until their hands ached, and learned early how to defend themselves. When there is no room left for them among the recruited brides, they pay their own way and board the aging clipper ship Sea Spirit, bound on a brutal voyage from New York around Cape Horn to San Francisco. The ship is filthy, dangerous, and crewed by men every bit as rough as the loggers waiting in Oregon—but Maeve has not come this far to turn back. By the time she reaches Sawyerville, she has already fought for her safety, her friends, and her future. Now she must face the town everyone warned her against—and the men who may not know what to make of a bride who refuses to be weak.

His letters are steady, thoughtful, and touched by the same sorrow Molly carries in her own heart. Against her fears, Molly accepts his proposal and begins the long journey west. By train and wagon, through wilderness, frontier towns, and dangerous country, Molly travels toward a husband she knows only through ink and paper. Along the way, she finds friendship with two other brides bound for the same fort—and courage she did not know she still possessed. At Fort Lapwai, Captain Strong is waiting. So is a wedding place more beautiful than Molly ever imagined: a riverbank bright with wildflowers and butterflies, in a land whose very name means "the place of the butterflies." But marriage is only the beginning. As Molly learns to live as an officer's wife on a remote army post, she must face the shadow of William's first wife, the rules and dangers of frontier life, and the uncertainty of giving her heart to another man after loss. And when a new opportunity rises in Sawyerville, Oregon, Molly and William must decide whether their second chance at love is strong enough to carry them into an unknown future. Place of the Butterflies is Book 2 in the Sawyerville Mail Order Brides series, a clean and heartfelt historical romance about grief, courage, frontier marriage, and the beautiful risk of beginning again.
