The Touch Of FireLinda Howard
The New York Times bestselling author of Cover of Night returns to her Western Ladies series with this passionate and suspenseful romance between a doctor and an outlaw. Annie Parker came to Silver Mesa, Arizona, because it was the only place she’d found where folks thought a woman doctor was better than no doctor at all. Her lonely life became harder still on the winter night Rafe McCay broke into her office with a bullet in his side and a bounty hunter at his back. With a gun aimed at her heart, he led her deep into the Arizona mountains, and into a world of danger and passion, for Annie discovered in Rafe not only a wounded man, but a soul betrayed. Rafe, healed by her skill and the magic in her hands, awakened in Annie a woman’s tender longing and hungry desire. Pursued by dangerous secrets of the past, they are swept into a thrilling odyssey of the heart—a bold, exhilarating journey that rekindles Rafe’s lost hope and transforms Annie’s healing gift into a deep, enduring love.

Rust and MarrowBrea Holden
Harper Hayes would rather freeze to death than accept help from Cade Lawson. She inherited a failing Montana ranch and a mountain of debt the day her father's heart stopped beating. For six years, she has held it together alone — starving herself to feed her cattle, patching fences with frozen hands, refusing every offer from the ruthless land baron next door who wants to swallow her property whole. Cade Lawson doesn't make offers. He makes inevitabilities. He owns eleven thousand acres, a hundred men, and the patience of a predator who has been circling Harper's boundary for six years, waiting for her stubbornness to break. He tells himself it's business. He tells himself it's strategy. He's been lying since year four. Then the worst blizzard in a century buries the valley. Harper's truck dies in a snowdrift. Her body is shutting down. And the only man for miles rides through the whiteout to drag her — screaming, fighting, half-frozen — into his remote hunting cabin. No power. No radio. No rescue coming. Twelve days. One room. A fire that keeps dying. A hatred that won't. Trapped together in a space barely big enough to breathe, their six-year war turns into something far more dangerous. Every shared blanket is a battlefield. Every accidental touch is a detonation. And when the cold forces them skin to skin, the line between survival and surrender disappears completely. He saved her life. Now he refuses to give it back. RUST AND MARROW is a scorching enemies-to-lovers dark romance featuring forced proximity, a possessive alpha hero, and heat levels that will melt the snow off your screen. This is Book 1 in the Whiteout Sins series. Content warning: explicit sexual content, aggressive possession, survival situations, emotional intensity. Intended for readers 18+.

Prodded by guilt, he steps up to take care of Britt and her beloved horse. Britt balks, but Cody’s hard to refuse even for a tough cowgirl. Forced together, they learn surprising things about each other neither ever knew.

Her hopes are crushed when her friends pull into a dude ranch instead of a spa, and she refuses to say longer than one night. That is...until she realizes the ranch is owned by sinfully sexy, and dangerously rugged, Wes Braden--the subject of her late-night fantasies. Fearless rancher Wes Braden thinks he's the luckiest guy on the planet when the sweet, sexy librarian from his hometown shows up at his ranch. Their connection is white-hot, making it impossible for either to ignore their carnal desires. Wes is more than willing to convert sweet Callie from chick lit to a world of erotic romance, but Callie ties sex to love, and Wes avoids commitment like the plague. Callie is thrust into physically demanding activities that ignite her deepest fears. Luckily, Wes is as tender as he is strong, and he's there every step of the way to help her find her inner strength. With Callie's influence, Wes might even discover that he's been nursing a few fears of his own. Passion pulls Callie and Wes from their safe, comfortable lives into each other's arms, and they're about to find out just how alike they really are. Want More Bradens?

Cruelest ContractCora Brent
A bookish accountant accepts an offer she can't refuse from a dangerously seductive mafia cowboy in this dark Western romance with vibes of Sons of Anarchy . I’ve been given a choice. Either I can marry one of the four fearsome Tempesta brothers … or I can bury my own troubled twin brother after his latest misdeeds. This is a sacrifice I will make with no hesitation. As a cruel favor, I’m allowed to choose which of the Tempesta brothers I’ll walk down the aisle with. One week among them on their vast ranch fortress in a remote corner of Wyoming is all the time I’m given to make up my mind. They are all different. All gorgeous and seductive. And all uniquely challenging in their own way. But only one of them stands out and fascinates me to the point of obsession. Years ago, Julian Tempesta saved my life and now our intense physical attraction is undeniable. Julian, as the charismatic eldest brother, is also the natural leader and protector, not a man who intends to use me and then callously crush my heart to pieces. When Julian says this marriage will be real, I believe him. I’m in far too deep by the time I understand the truth. I’ve foolishly trapped myself in a devil’s bargain. And now my ‘husband’ will be my undoing…

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.”
