Luke Matthews isn't passing up a second chance with the one who got away...but first, he's going to make her pay for leaving him.

When her father is injured, Cassie Bellamy has no choice but to go back to her hometown to run the family ranch, but she swears she's going to lay low and avoid the lying, cheating polecat who sent her running ten years prior.

But fate has other plans.  As soon as she hits the outskirts of town, her truck breaks down and Cassie quickly finds out two things.  Bad Boy Luke Matthews is still hotter than the Texas sun, but he's not a bad boy anymore, he's the town sheriff and seems to have an ax to grind. She also realizes, engaged or not, she is not as over him as she wanted to be. That proves to be a problem when her business-partner fiance visits the ranch and his true intentions are revealed.

Cassie has no doubt Luke can protect her when things turn ugly, but who will protect her heart from Luke?

After her husband was killed in the line of duty, Detective Sabrina Roberts devoted her sole focus to her job to make sure the same doesn’t happen to her. Two years later, Sabrina is near burnout and searching for an out. It comes in the form of an invitation to stand in her friend’s wedding out in the country where she might have time to breathe and re-evaluate her life.

Once she’s there, however, Sabrina barely has time to take a breath before she’s back in cop mode. Someone wants the bride dead and she’s determined that is not going to happen. Cole Jackson, the town’s sexy, but sexist sheriff, is in investigative mode too and quickly tells her to stand down. He doesn’t want or need her help on the case, because he thinks women have no place in the field.

Sabrina sets out to show him exactly what a policewoman could do and prove that her big city police department experience gave her far superior skills to that of a podunk town sheriff. But she quickly loses interest in the competition. Surprisingly, the too-handsome-for-his-own-good sheriff makes her want to put away her pistol and bake biscuits for him and to demonstrate an entirely different skillset—in the kitchen and the bedroom.

Will letting down her guard and allowing herself to love a lawman again be the final nail in the coffin of her sanity? More importantly, will distracting him mean they’d be attending a funeral instead of a wedding?

She has to hide out because not only has she left him, she’s taken his meal ticket with her.

Freshly divorced former attorney and new owner of the R & R Ranch, Joel Rhodes, is a grumpy bear of a man who seems to mistrust all women. He’s also a man she had a one-night fling with while the ink was still wet on his divorce papers, a man who brutally told her that night meant nothing to him.

Terri had no idea how she was going to work with him, but she was desperate and took the job. Even if it didn’t work out, she figured it would be a temporary fix until she found something better. But things changed while working around the sexy, jaded rancher twenty-four seven and Terri no longer wants to leave.

She begins to understand the reason for his surliness stems from his divorce. Joel was cheated on and she knew from personal experience how traumatic and demoralizing that could be. With a little pressure from Terri, his façade finally cracks and under his steely exterior, she discovers a beautiful broken heart. A good heart that called to her own, so they could both heal.

When Joel finally opens up to her and they get closer, his ex-wife shows up out of the blue asking for his help. Instead of kicking her off of the ranch and telling her to get lost, though, Joel drops everything, including Terri, to solve her problem. Or maybe he was solving his own problem, Terri suspected, when his ex is found murdered in the bunkhouse and the police arrest him.

Had she fallen in love with a killer? Or was someone trying to set him up for a fall?

Horse trainer Roxanne Baker's daddy had warned her about smooth-talking city boys at sixteen. She'd always heeded that advice--until the day she met urban firefighter Ethan Cassidy at a wedding. It didn't take long for him to talk her out of her chaps in the barn, even knowing the next day he'd be gone.

When Ethan unexpectedly shows up at the ranch again, Rockie almost doesn't recognize him. Gone is the charismatic, confident man she rolled in the hay with and in his place is a sullen, bitter and cynical shell of his former self. She finds out he has reason to be surly. Ethan has suffered a traumatic injury in a fluke firefighting accident, his career is over and he may spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

All he wants to do is hide in his room and drink his life away, but Rockie refuses to let that happen. Whether Ethan likes it or not, she is going to help him recover. After researching methods to help him, she lands on the perfect solution—equine therapy. But she knows it has to be his idea to gain his cooperation, so she teases him with the possibility of joining an equine search and rescue team, if he learns to ride.

Day by day Ethan gains more mobility and balance, and Rockie’s respect and affection. But he has a long way to go when the ESR team is suddenly activated and she has to leave to help find a kid missing in Palo Duro Canyon. Even though she thinks he’s not ready, Ethan insists he is and on going with her.

At base camp, Ethan runs into some of his former co-workers and seems like his old self when they head into the canyon. But hinky things start to happen on the ride and Rockie can't help but think someone in that canyon may not want them to make it out alive.

Former Miss Texas Leigh Ann Baker knows she is more than a beauty queen. Convincing everyone else in her life of that is the problem, especially her overbearing mother who wants to marry her off to the highest bidder like a prize pig at the county fair.

Determined to prove that she isn't just a pretty face, Leigh Ann takes a job at a local vet's office, but remembers too late that, even though she loves animals, they hate her. Her sexy new boss, veterinarian and single dad, Wes Jepson, isn't amused at the tragic comedy which ensues and spirals his office into chaos.

Trying to make it up to him and keep her job, Leigh Ann goes to a local ranch to collect an overdue bill and wades knee-deep into the shady dealings going on at the ranch.

Suddenly, she's up to her tiara in trouble, the bad guys want her dead and the only one who can save her is a six-foot-tall vet with a bad attitude. But will he even try when he seems to want her gone too?

Criminal defense attorney Veronica Winters always wondered what it would be like with sexy former detective Trace Rooks. Even though he’s an ex-convict now, because of her, she still wonders. Ronnie has always felt damned guilty for recommending a plea deal that sent an innocent man to jail.

When she finds out Trace is back in prison, she sees her chance to make amends, so she goes to see him to offer her help. The man she finds at the jail, though, is changed. The scars on the outside of his hard body are nothing compared to the scars he bears inside. The charming, easy going man she represented four years prior is gone and his attitude is now just as hard as his body.

The new, edgier Trace Rooks turns her on even more than the man she knew before, but he believes she's only there to snoop for his crooked father, a state senator who put behind bars in the first place. Ronnie knows she'll have a hard time convincing him to let her help him, but that wouldn't stop her. They didn't call her the Shark Lady for nothing.

When she starts digging into the shady dealings at the ranch where he worked and got into the second round of trouble, Ronnie steps off into a manure pile that's taller than Trace Rooks. Before long, she's the one on the run from the FBI, and the crooks, and the only one who can save her is a jaded ex-lawman who hates her guts.

Would Trace help her escape the drug runners, though? Or would he let them have her, like she'd done to him during his first trial?

Widow Carrie Collins’ life had spiraled out of control since her detective husband had been killed during a sting-gone-bad. She was alone, drowning in bills, and trying to stay strong for her kids. At her snapping point, Carrie was thankful when her husband’s best friend took the wheel. He kept the kids for a week and exiled her to a dude ranch in the country to get her head together. She was afraid a year wouldn’t get that job done, but she went.

At the ranch, as she expected, her worries followed her, but then she met Dylan Thomas, a long-legged, very handsome former bull rider who seemed determined to distract her. Dylan made her remember what it was like to be a young, desirable woman who was alive and carefree. Carrie put her problems in the bed of his pickup and took a front seat with him to indulge that fantasy, but her fantasy is cut short when she gets a call from home that her son is in trouble.

Carrie rushes home to discover the boy had been trying to find the truth about his father’s death because he believes it was a set-up, even though Internal Affairs said otherwise. When skeletons start to fall out of the closet from his amateur sleuthing and they arrive on her doorstep with pistols in hand, Carrie believes he might be right.

Her husband’s former partner sends Carrie and the kids back to the ranch to hide out while he figures things out, but there would be no fantasies this time. This was real and Carrie was in full out mama-bear mode because nobody was going to hurt her children. Not even the cowboy who tries to insert himself into the papa bear space by cozying up to the kids and vowing to protect them.

Her temporary lover had made it clear he didn’t do relationships and that he would be leaving the ranch as soon as he got his medical walking papers to go back to the rodeo, so how could she depend on him for anything? Better yet, how could she allow herself or her kids to fall in love with a man she knew would crush their already bruised hearts when he walked away?
