THE RANCHER’S SURPRISE DEAL
Dawson Family Ranch
by Melissa Senate
A blast from his past
Might be just what this single-dad rancher needs
Divorced rancher Carson Black knows his toddler, Timmy, is a handful, but is there really no babysitter in Wyoming who can manage him? He’s verging on desperate when he runs into Evie Dawson—his first love back in high school, and his first broken heart. Despite their history, she’s amazing with Timmy, and desperate times call for desperate, make-a-deal-with-your-ex measures. She wants her family off her back about being single, which means she needs a date to a family wedding. It’s easy to fake a romance—the hard part will come from accepting that they’re not faking after all…
STAND-IN TEXAS DAD
A Marrying a McCabe Romance
by Cathy Gillen Thacker
His heart was closed to love…
But could a single mom and her triplets pry it open?
Pediatrician Zach McCabe is Laramie's very own Sir Galahad—with cardiologist Claire Lowell being the latest damsel on his to-rescue list. Even so, after losing his fiancée in a car crash, Zach has sworn off love. And maintaining his emotional distance from the elegant single mom may be tougher than wrangling her adorable three-year-old triplets.
Claire refuses to rely on anyone, but resting her burdens on Zach’s broad shoulders is a dangerous temptation. When her nanny leaves her in the lurch and Zach is evicted from his place, the two find a way to help each other—and grow closer. Can Zach move past his grief for a second chance at love…and an instant family?
A HONEY FOR THE BEEKEEPER
Bishop Honey bee Farm
By Nina Crespo
She never stayed in one place for long…
Until she felt the sweet sting of love.
Brooke Bishop thrives on adventure, from skiing slopes to sailing yachts—anything to avoid her family's bee farm. But when Brooke and her estranged sister inherit the farm, she’s stuck there until her sister can buy her out. And then Brooke meets country singer Gable Kincaid—and she finds herself wondering if wanderlust is a bit overrated…
Seeking refuge from fame and a painful past, Gable finds Brooke is just the balm he needs. As their budding attraction blossoms, the music industry he’s trying to avoid threatens to reclaim Gable. And Brooke would rather head out of town than feel the sting of that loss. As they’re pulled down separate paths, will Brooke and Gable discover that, sometimes, home is a place found in each other?
IF YOU CAN’T STAND THE HEAT…
Once Upon a Wedding
by Mona Shroff
When a cooking competition turns personal
A pair of chefs will feel the burn…
What’s the recipe for success? For single mom Karina Mistry, it’s the head-chef position she’s chased for years. But her boss has one more hoop for her to jump through. The new head chef will be chosen…via a reality cooking-show competition! Four weeks, eight meals, two competitors and everything on the line. Losing this job would be crushing. But losing to Chef Aneel Rawal, the man from her past she’s never forgiven? That’s not an option. It’s time for Karina to sharpen her knives, turn up the heat…and watch the tension simmer!
