I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life. Showing up on Tucker Bradshaw’s doorstep claiming we share a daughter is not one of them. The youngest Bradshaw brother’s reputation is well known in Willow Bend and I plan to use it against him. I thought he’d simply throw money at the problem, hoping to make us go away. But Tucker doesn’t see my daughter and me as a problem. He sees us as a solution. So, instead of getting to take the money and run, I find myself being moved into his mansion. Working at his business. Spending time with his family. But I draw the line at sleeping in his bed.

I came to Willow Bend, Wyoming with nothing but the clothes on my back and a secret. It won’t be easy hiding morning sickness and swinging emotions as the live-in chef for a wealthy tech genius, but I’ll do whatever it takes to build a life for myself and my baby. Because I’m in this alone. For weeks I hold my breath, waiting for the moment I come face to face with the reclusive Titus Bradshaw and have to explain my… condition. But when our paths finally cross late one night, I discover why he’s hidden away from the world.

One year ago, I walked away from everything I knew and all the lies I’d been told. For the first time in my life, I was free from the constraints put on me by power hungry men, who twist faith and devotion into fear and control. All to feed their own egos. Now my sister’s ready to leave, too, but the only one who can help me save her is a ghost from my past. One who’s haunted my thoughts more than I’d like to admit.

Ten years ago, I met the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. Butch was tall, dark, and… Dangerous. I thought we had a connection. That he understood me in a way no one ever had. Then he disappeared without a word. No goodbye. No see you later. Nothing. He comes back into my life just as abruptly. Unannounced. Unexpected. But not unwanted. I need his help. My sister’s missing. Taken by a man she trusted and forced to do unspeakable things. I’m going to find her, and Butch is going to help me. If we can stay alive long enough. I’m not worried though. Because Butch is still tall and dark.

I didn’t plan to be a runaway bride. But, standing in the church wearing white and borrowed blue, I realized I didn’t have a choice. I had to start over. Even if it meant living—and working—a stone’s throw from the man who doesn’t know he broke my heart a decade ago. So I stuffed my tulle and tears behind the wheel of a borrowed car, mascara tracking down my cheeks as I made the drive to Willow Bend, Wyoming. I thought I could handle having Tobias in my life again. Believed after everything I’d gone through, the last thing I’d want is a man’s attention.

Spending the night with Troy seemed like a great idea at the time. He was charming and handsome and clearly up on his anatomy lessons. Sending him on his way the next morning was harder than it should have been. But it was still easier than finding him shoveling her Grandma Muriel’s front sidewalk, putting a heart-stopping face to the mystery man who’d been helping her grandmother out. Now she has to pretend like he hasn’t seen and touched every inch of her skin. That she doesn’t desperately want him to do it all over again.

Liza is braver than he could ever be. Stronger and smarter than all the men around her. She didn’t need his protection. Not then. But now she’s facing a different kind of threat. One that hides in the shadows and lurks in the dark. One that won’t stop until Liza loses everything. It’s not going to happen. Because for the second time Ben’s going to do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even if he’s not.

After a messy breakup that left her with no home and no friends, the prospect of taking some time far away to regroup seemed appealing. That was until she saw exactly what awaited her in Moss Creek, Montana. Nothing. Nothing awaited her. The place is just fields and pastures. And cowboys. Lots and lots of cowboys. Which would be great if she was looking for a cowboy. And she’s not.

Brett Pace is the only one of his brothers without someone at his side. Figures, since he’s the one who wanted it most. Unfortunately, there’s only one woman he can see filling that empty spot. Camille Shepard. But she’s been to hell and back. Suffered in a way no woman should. Making her his will take patience. Understanding. Commitment. Because he doesn’t just have to prove he can be a good man for her.

Competing as a professional rodeo cowboy was everything he wanted. All that mattered. An opportunity he wouldn’t pass by. But it meant leaving his high-school sweetheart behind. Mae Wells was sweet, and innocent, and quiet. Not the kind of girl you dragged away from her family and home to follow you around the country. At eighteen it didn’t seem like a huge sacrifice. But at almost thirty, Boone’s lived enough and lost enough to realize he threw away something precious. Something he’s been chasing ever since.

Clara moved to Moss Creek, Montana on her last tank of gas, a whim and a prayer. A contentious divorce left her and her sweet eight-year-old son with nowhere to go. No one to depend on. When she comes across the chance to work as a nanny on Red Cedar Ranch it sounds like a dream come true. A beautiful place to live. Income. Security.

Grady’s spent his whole life in Moss Creek, Montana, helping out on his family’s ranch and keeping the town he loves safe. There’s nowhere else he’d rather be. Except for Evelyn Warwick’s bed. The newly arrived New Yorker is a breath of fresh air in his stagnant and stale life— one he seeks out at every opportunity. Which is how he ends up claiming to be her fiancé, hoping to run her meddling twat of an ex out of town.

Dianna came to Moss Creek for a fresh start. To learn from the mistakes of her past. But Griffin Fraley is testing her commitment to that task. Somewhere between those baby blue eyes and a set of hands she can imagine doing debaucherous things, her focus starts to shift.

Dexter Truitt ruined my life. His impossibly improbable act set off a chain of events I couldn’t make up if I tried, each one stealing a little more from me. My relationship. My business. My reputation. But even bad times have to come to an end. I thought that was the case when Valerie slid onto the barstool next to mine and asked me to buy her a drink.She was gorgeous. Driven. Smart. And didn't know who in the hell I was.

Six months ago I baited a sinfully handsome but wickedly dangerous man. He didn't bite. I wanted to work for his company. Desperately. Did all I could to prove my worth and plead my case. To no avail. Until the night I come home to find his card on my kitchen counter. What follows is a game of cat and mouse that leaves me afraid and excited and even more attracted to the grumpy, silver fox mercenary who's occupied my mind for months.

It’s been a year since I’ve felt safe. A year of looking over my shoulder and struggling to sleep at night, afraid of everyone and everything. Except for him. I knew it was wrong to watch Zeke the way I did, but I couldn’t stop myself. He was so big. So strong. Calm and controlled.

It’s been nine months since I left everything behind. Walked away from my friends. My business. My home. Even my dog. All so I could get away. The only thing I took was the truth. Proof of the evil I’d escaped. I thought it would keep me safe. Protect me from the whims of the dangerous man I’d married. I was wrong. My only hope is to fight fire with fire, so I call Alaskan Security, begging for help. Pleading for protection. The man they send is someone I already know.

First comes love. Then comes marriage. We all know how the rhyme ends. Except I don’t want love. I sure as heck don’t want another marriage. But a baby? That I’m desperate for. And I know exactly who can help me with that. Simon has always been there for me. He listens to me. Supports me. Makes me feel like maybe I’m not as broken as I think I am. He wants me to be happy. To move beyond the pain of my past.

I used to love working. There was nothing I enjoyed more than seeing the auto shop I built from the ground up thriving, showing how far I’d managed to come in this brutal world. Then I hired Piper. Now she’s everywhere. At the front desk all day and right next door all night, infiltrating my life. My thoughts. I can’t deny wanting her, but there’s a line, and my name on the bottom of her paychecks is it.

Gavin Wilkes is rugby’s biggest star and my older brother’s best friend. He’s tall, dark, handsome… and a notorious player—not just in the sportsball way. For years he’s teased me—flirted with me as a joke—and I’m tired of it. So the night of my parents’ annual Christmas party, I call his bluff, never expecting him to take me up on it.
