Phoebe’s temporary
gig as a substitute music teacher at an elementary school is just what the
burnt out, former Broadway star needs to regroup from a demanding, and lately,
unsatisfying career. Exposing children to the magic of music has reawakened her
love for the basics. The Poconos is a great place to find herself, and she was
finding her frequent encounters with the handsome, single father of one of her
students has reawakened a different type of passion.
But he’s made it
clear he’s not looking for permanent, and for the first time in her life, she’s
not looking for temporary. Maybe what his locked up, guarded heart needs is a
little song.

Lea Gablonski has two dreams: To work at a
museum in NYC, and to gain other-than-sisterly attention from her best friend’s
brother. So far, she’s 0 for 0. Though her MA in History is just a wall
decoration at her family’s diner where she’s working while her dad recovers
from surgery, she enjoys her visual encounters with the sexiest man alive—even
though he would sooner pat her on the head than take her to bed.
Military born and bred, Battalion Supply Sergeant Benjamin Wyne thrives on
order and control in his fulltime career in the PA National Guard, and in his
personal life. But when he’s forced to ask his childhood sweetheart’s younger
sister to pose as his girlfriend to thwart unwanted advances from his boss’
wife, his world turns chaotic. Lea is sweet and hot and tastes so damn good
he’s addicted. When the attraction takes on a new level at his sister’s
wedding, his carefully guarded heart begins to thaw.
But he’s seen many relationships go south. If
he takes a chance and gives up control, will Lea be like her sister and leave
him for a career in the big city? Yet, if he doesn’t, will the best damn thing
to ever enter his life become history?

Prequel Book .05:
Harland County
Christmas
Accounting major Jen has one more year before she graduates
and moves out of Harland County to find a corporate job and maybe a
good-looking businessman to boot. Cowboys were handsome and fun, but they didn’t
stick. Neither did ranch hands. Experience has taught her they come and go, and
some took a piece of her heart with them. Well, no more handsome, sexy,
cowboys. She wanted a stay around, stable, lifetime type of guy.
Then she returns to the family ranch for the summer to
discover Brock, the hot, one-night stand she’d given herself permission to
enjoy right after finals, is the new ranch hand. And dang it, she’s just as
drawn to his sexy grin, gorgeous green eyes and quiet strength. As the summer
ends, classes resume, and the holidays near, the handsome, alpha cowboy has her
rethinking her future. So does the unborn baby she’s carrying. Maybe sticking
around Harland County isn’t so bad—if she could get Brock to stay, and break
out of the ‘leave Jen and move on to another ranch’ mold.

same fickle fate took away the man she eventually did. Thrown back in
to
the path of her first love,
she finds hers is not the only heart fate has
damaged
.
Widower and software CEO, Cole McCall fills his days with
computer codes and his free time working the family’s cattle ranch. Blaming
himself for his wife’s death, he’s become hard and bitter. When his visiting
former neighbor sets out to delete the firewall
around
his heart, he discovers there’s no protection against the Jordan virus.
Though she understands his pain and reawakens his
soul, will it be enough for Cole to overcome his past and embrace their fated
hearts?

Homeless and unemployed thanks to an earthquake, divorced
California chef Kerri Masters agrees to head back to her hometown to help plan
her sister’s Texas wedding. It must be her weakened state that has
her eyeing the neighbor she used to follow around as a child. Her tastes tend
towards gentlemen in suits, cultured, and neatly groomed— not a dimple-glaring,
giant of a cowboy. He’s big and virile, and makes her want things the
inadequacies brought out during her divorce keep her from carrying out.
Connor McCall’s brotherly feelings for the pesky former
neighbor disappear when the grown up version steps on his ranch in her fancy
clothes and shiny heels. Too bad she’s a city girl, because he has no use for
them. Three times he tried to marry one, and three times the engagements
failed. He’s not looking for number four no matter how much his body is all for
jumping back in the saddle and showing the sexy chef just how it feels to be
loved by a cowboy.
Turns out the earthquake was nothing compared to the
passionate, force of nature of an unbridled cowboy, and Kerri learns far more
about herself, and Connor, than she ever expected. But when events put
his trust in her on the line, will he choose his heart or his pride?

Desperate for change after a verbally abusive relationship,
Brandi Wyne leaves a symphony career, her family, and the Poconos to fall back
on a designing degree and a chance to renovate a restaurant/pub in Texas. Even
though part of a National Guard family, she’d sworn off military men when the
last one proved less than supportive of her thyroid condition and subsequent
weight gain. Too bad her body seems to forget that fact whenever she’s near the
very hot, very military local sheriff.
Texas Army National Guard First Sergeant Kade Dalton never planned on becoming
Harland County Sheriff or the attraction to a curvy, military-hating designer
from Pennsylvania. Heavy with guilt from the death of a soldier under his
command during a recent deployment, and dealing with his co-owned horse ranch
and a bungling young deputy, it's hard most days just to keep his sanity. But
it’s the Yankee bombshell who threatens not only his sanity, but tempts his
body...and his heart.
Fighting their attraction becomes a losing battle, and Kade
soon finds sanctuary in the arms of the beautiful designer. Does he
really have the right to saddle Brandi with his stress issues? And if so, can
he take a chance on the town’s newest resident not abandoning him like others
in his past?

Single mother, Shayla Ryan, longs to put down roots to
create a stable environment for her baby girl and her younger sister, but the
threat of her abusive, ex-con father finding them has made that almost impossible.
Her newest residence in Harland County, however, holds a lot of appeal,
especially in the form of a Casanova cowboy with eye-catching good looks and
easy charm. Those two qualities took her down the wrong road before, and though
the sexy cowboy interferes with her pulse, she can’t let her heart get in the
way of the safety of her family, or give it to someone who doesn’t believe in
forever.
If there’s one thing software company vice president, Kevin Dalton, loves more
than puzzles, it’s women. Size, shape, race doesn’t matter as long as they
don’t want a relationship—he’s not looking to repeat the past, and more than
happy to remain single. Until two beautiful redheads drop him to his knees—one
with her cutie-pie smile, the other with her elbow. Too bad the elbow-toting
beauty is both hot and puzzling. A killer combination too strong to resist. And
without realizing it, the redheads slowly rewrite the code around his
heart.
But when the danger from Shayla’s past shows up, can he
rise to the challenge to keep them safe...and really be what they need? A
forever
cowboy?

Finn Brennan was used to his
brother playing practical jokes, but this time he’d gone too far--sending him a
woman
as a ranch hand, and not just a woman, but a Marine.
When Lt. Camilla Walker's CO asks
her to help out at his family's dude ranch until he returns from deployment,
she never expected to be thrust into a mistaken engagement to his sexy, cowboy
twin--a former Navy SEAL who
hates
the Corps.
The Corps took Finn’s father, his
girlfriend and threatened his naval career. He’s worked hard for another shot
at getting back to active duty and won’t let his brother’s prank interfere. The
last thing he needs is the temptation of a headstrong, unyielding, hot Marine
getting in the way.
