Make Your Move, Soldier...

Finally, soldier Theo Lacroix's life is right where he wants it. He's on the cusp of buying the houseboat business he's run for a decade and he's the star player on Bomb Squad, an ice hockey team for combat-wounded veterans like him. He wants for nothing...right up until a sexy tornado of a woman crashes into his life and claims the business for herself. Theo knows he should quit and move on, if only he could ignore the chemistry sizzling between them or the urge to sweep her up in his arms and do some claiming of his own...

Allison Whitley lived a Cinderella dream--until her ex left her with a baby, a pile of debt, and a business she knows nothing about. And her would-be knight in shining armor? He's a hard-bodied ex-soldier with an even harder heart. Never mind that she can't stop fantasizing about kissing him. Allison's never needed to be scrappy before, but to survive in her new life, she'll have to go head-to-head, and heart-to-heart, with the man who just might prove to be her hero after all.

This Soldier Can’t Be Tamed…

Yoga instructor Marlena Brodie is always up for a challenge, and convincing a hockey team full of rugged combat veterans that yoga will help them snap their losing streak is just that—even though it means being in close contact with Liam McAllister, her high school crush gone bad. She can feel the damage pouring off of him, but also a wild, sexy connection she can’t resist.

As a combat medic, Liam McAllister saved countless souls, but long after his discharge from the army, the wounds to his own soul just won’t heal. He’s given up on ever being whole or happy again, but Marlena’s fearless heart and healing touch stir his soul and body to life again. The raw heat they create together threatens to burn both their lives down, but Liam needs Marlena like he needs his next breath, so to be the man she deserves, this war hero will have to conquer his demons and take the greatest risk of all…falling in love.

The Hotter They Are, the Harder They Fall…

After losing part of a leg in combat, Brandon Theroux has built a new life as a fitness model and confirmed playboy, living every day to the fullest. When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes his way, he bids farewell to his hometown—and to the one woman he’d always wanted but could not have.

Bar owner Harper Johnson has too much self-respect to join the ranks of Brandon's conquests, but when a health scare catapults her onto a journey of a lifetime, she turns to the one person who knows what it means to seize the day, find your bliss, and never look back. Brandon becomes her rock…until they realize that a bond forged between friends who can't keep their hands off each other has the potential to be a whole lot hotter than either of them is prepared to handle.

It was their parents' ranch, through the good days and the bad. But if they want to hang on to their land, their pride, and their family, the three Sorentino sisters will have to reinvent it from the ground up-and one of them just may reinvent herself in the process...

Cowboys have never been good for Amy Sorentino. First her hard-riding father bankrupted the family farm. Then her all-hat-no-cowboy boyfriend sold her out on national television, ending her promising career as a chef. 

Now she and her squabbling sisters have partnered up in a final attempt to save their land by starting an inn and local restaurant. So it figures that with everything on the line, Amy's key supplier is just the kind of Stetson-tipping heartbreaking bad boy she's sworn to avoid. But Kellan Reed has a few secrets of his own-and cowboy or not, Amy can't resist this kind of wild ride...

Transforming their parents' rundown ranch in Catcher Creek, New Mexico, into a tourist destination is the toughest challenge the three Sorentino sisters ever faced. But now one of them has another fight on her hands--to keep from falling for the sexy town sheriff--again...

Rachel Sorentino has spent her whole life protecting her siblings from trouble--only to run headlong into it herself. Her first regret about shooting at the vandals targeting her family ranch is that her aim wasn't better. Her second is that when bullets started flying, it was Sheriff Vaughn Cooper's number she dialed. 

Vaughn is the mistake she keeps on making, a cowboy lawman who cuts through Rachel's surface bravado to the vulnerability no one else sees. And no matter how inconvenient their attraction--for his career, her tangled case, and his already battered heart--there's no denying what feels so irresistibly right...

Against all odds, the Sorentino sisters saved their family's rundown New Mexico ranch, but the youngest has a dream that just may ruin their hard-earned peace--unless a certain sexy cowboy lawyer changes her mind...

Jenna Sorentino is as independent as they come. Despite her wild past, she's grown up enough to keep quiet about the identity of her baby's daddy, go to night college--and hide her plan to escape tiny Catcher Creek. She's also stopped dreaming of happily ever after--except in the case of gorgeous, rugged, Santa Fe native Matt Roenick. Too bad the oil rights attorney acts like he barely knows she's alive...

Matt knows only too well that Jenna's alive--in fact, she's driving him crazy with desire. But Matt's got his reasons for resisting her. And when her son's father shows up, those reasons multiply. Trouble is, Jenna's secrets are more complicated than he imagined, and forgetting her isn't as easy as he'd hoped. Matt knows life can be messy as hell. For Jenna, maybe it's time he got dirty...

Family secrets and a deadly stalker haunt The Coltons of Oklahoma…

Cowboy Brett Colton has reformed his bad-boy ways. And he has ambitious plans to transform the Lucky C ranch. Then he discovers that his one passion-filled night with gorgeous accountant Hannah Grayson resulted in pregnancy—an unexpected hiccup.  

Though excited by the prospect of fatherhood, Brett puts the brakes on romance. He is determined to bring Hannah and his unborn child into the family. But he doesn't anticipate the strong feelings he has for Hannah…or that he is putting her in danger. Because a vengeful phantom is targeting the Coltons. All that matters is keeping his new family safe…and perhaps fighting for love in the end.

But once she outsmarts their brutal captors, the danger's just beginning.

"Keep the asset safe or die trying."

When a simple mission to deliver the beautiful and brilliant Vanessa Crosby to a safe house goes horribly wrong, ICE agent Diego Santero's life gets complicated. Keeping the anti-crime analyst safe from the notorious mercenaries after her program will put everything he's worked for at risk.

Relentlessly hunted and not knowing whom to trust, Diego takes Vanessa on the run, deep into the heart of the deadly Panamanian rain forest. Vanessa reminds herself that she's just another asset to the ruggedly handsome black ops agent...until their intense situation leads to a release of passion neither expected. But even if they make it out alive, how can they ever have a future together?

Passion ignites after office hours...

Bullets whizzed past as Ryan Reitano and Avery Meadows escaped into the night. How could Ryan have suspected Avery of being the mole inside ICE? It was true she was no ordinary secretary. The way she used her wits and her lethal stiletto heels against the gunmen pursuing them astonished the jaded agent. And that killer body he'd somehow never noticed before...

Too bad there wasn't time to explore the possibilities. With Chiara's men hot on their trail, capturing the mercenary was more than just a mission for Ryan. He had his own reasons for wanting the criminal dead. But with his surprising--and utterly enchanting--new partner, perhaps there'd be a chance for romance later...if they survived.

This ex-ICE agent has one last chance with the one who got away -- if he can protect her long enough...

Black-ops agent Alicia Troy spent years plotting the perfect revenge on the man who left her for dead...until her plan is foiled by her ex-teammate--and ex-lover--who taught her the meaning of betrayal. She can't trust John Witter...so why can't she stop wanting him?

For John, it's a race to get to Alicia's intended victim before she does because he's the only one who can prove John's innocence, but the race turns into a battle of wits against the woman who believes he deceived her. But when their former agency turns on them both, labeling them "armed and dangerous," John has a new mission: keep his woman alive.

Protecting the Colton Bride by Elle James

With his ranch in financial trouble, cowboy Daniel Colton makes the perfect proposal to Megan Talbot—a marriage of convenience to save his business and ensure she receives her inheritance. But when a killer targets his new bride, vying for her estate, he must race against the clock to track down the culprit and protect the wife who’s starting to be so much more to him than just a business partner.

Colton’s Cowboy Code by Melissa Cutler

Cowboy Brett Colton has reformed his bad-boy ways. And he has ambitious plans to transform the Lucky C ranch. Then he discovers that his one passion-filled night with gorgeous Hannah Grayson resulted in pregnancy. Though excited by the prospect of fatherhood, Brett puts the brakes on romance. But he doesn’t anticipate the strong feelings he develops for Hannah…or that he is putting her in danger. Because a vengeful phantom is targeting the Coltons…

It'll be a Christmas to remember when hotel heiress Carina Briscoe is roped into a pretend marriage with cowboy James Decker, the bad boy stable manager of her family's Texas resort. The marriage might be a sham but the sparks between them are anything but. Still, with a little help from the heroine's interfering family, they might end up with the greatest Christmas gift of all: true love.

Welcome to Dulcet, Texas, home of the legendary Briscoe Ranch Resort, where one woman will discover that even love is bigger in the Lone Star State.

Celebrity wedding planner Remedy Lane is Hollywood royalty--until a scandal sends her packing to the wilds of Texas. She has a knack for leaving disaster in her wake, but she's determined to reboot her career at Briscoe Ranch, a luxury resort known for extravagant weddings. Little does she know that weddings don't happen at the resort without the approval of the town's cowboy-swaggering, too-hot-for-his-own-good fire chief, Micah Garrity.

Micah knows trouble when he sees it, and all it takes is one glimpse of Remedy's princess airs for him to know he's met his match. Too bad he can't stop thinking about her--even when she brings about one disaster after another at the resort. He and Remedy clash at every turn, but they can't stop the sparks flying between them. They come from such different worlds--does love stand a chance or will this fire burn too hot for either of them to handle?

If you can't take the heat...

Chef Emily Ford has the talent and ambition to make it in the cutthroat culinary world--which is why she refuses to accept her demotion at the hands of Knox Briscoe, the new CEO of Briscoe Ranch Resort. He has grand plans that include bringing in a celebrity chef to helm an exciting new restaurant at the resort, but Emily has plans of her own--to do whatever it takes to change his mind...

Cut out of the Briscoe fortune by an old feud that left his family in ruins, Knox grew up dreaming of revenge. Out-maneuvering his uncle for control of Briscoe Ranch is merely the first step in a grand plan that doesn't include the brazen and beautiful Emily Ford...or the attraction that sizzles between them. With both their futures on the line, can they keep their desires on simmer--or are they headed from the frying pan straight into the fire?***

This Christmas, Santa wears a Stetson.

Paul Savage loves Christmas at Briscoe Ranch Resort, when he gets to take a break from being a back country guide to play Santa in the resort's lobby and talk to kids about toys. The last thing he expects is his high school crush to come waltzing in as his new assistant photographer, wheeling a suitcase that's more naughty than nice.

Kelly Walker is a disaster. All she'd wanted was to spice up her life by saying 'yes' to every opportunity, which is when the universe started pelting her with no's. So when she comes across a job listing for a holiday photographer working with the sweet, scrawny boy whose advances she'd laughed off in high school, she jumps on the chance to turn her bad Karma around by giving Paul a second chance.

Trouble is, Paul's anything but scrawny anymore, and his cowboy swagger throws her grand plans for a loop--especially when he tempts her with a red hot proposition of his own. Kelly's in way over her head, but as she gets swept up in the magic of Briscoe Ranch's holiday charms--and Paul's--could Kelly's year of no's be leading up to the 'yes' of a lifetime?
