Two Man Red
Summary
In the mood for a steamy, second-chance romance? Blake Brigham knows she's got a bad track record in her choice of men. Prime example: her ex-husband who's about to marry his very young and very pregnant new bride. Stupid exes. Now she's seeing Chase, and he's downright delectable. No, really. She could just eat him up. Have you seen the abs on a hard-working farmhand? They look even better when they're shirtless and rippling with his laughter, at least from what she can see blinking through the humorous tears. She's ready to go all in and sample the goods, right about the time Hunter falls onto the scene. You may not know Hunter yet, but you know the type. The best and the worst type all rolled into one. The type with history. The first love, first kiss, first everything. The kind of man who only looks better with age, and now he has the experience to top it off. Did I mention he can't seem to keep his hands off her? Oh, she's got a choice to make, all right. And she'd better make it fast before she loses them both in the process. Two Man Red is a standalone romance novel that will have you laughing, biting your nails, and will probably leave you just as torn as Blake on who she should choose...at least until you're not! It'll probably get you in the feels a little bit, too, but the HEA is pretty darn satisfying. Go ahead and jump right in!

And yes, someone came up with the idea that in order to survive, they could all become mail-order brides, but still...Lottie wanted to know the truth. Did her sister, Leora, believe her? To a point, but not enough to keep from telling her that if she didn't drop her silly notions, she'd miss her own wedding! Her other roommates, Alice and Judith, groaned at any mention of helping her snoop around like a Pinkerton, and then there was her groom.... Sam Cooke gave up the notion of finding anyone from Clear Creek to marry. What available women there were, were either too young or too old, and heaven help him if his mother, Belle Cooke, got his matchmaking Aunt Sadie to help find him a bride. No, some things a man had to do on his own. But when he travels east on business to fetch his mail-order bride, little did he know what sort of hi-jinx awaited him on the journey home with her!

For Kelsey, it awakens her nightmares, and for Knox, it ignites in him an obsession to find the bomber. Problem is
someone is after Kelsey, and when her past follows her into Knox's life, threatening his family and legacy, he'll have to choose between saving the people he loves, or becoming the protector he's always longed to be. The exciting ignition of the Montana Marshall series.

Cry of the West: Hallie
Summary
Sweet romance, with some profanity. In Cry of the West , recently widowed Hallie Wells is facing a difficult situation. The sudden demise of her husband after selling their farm and just about everything they owned to travel west on the Oregon Trail, has left her stranded with an eight year old son. Dare she ask Cooper Jerome, recently returned from the War of the States, if he would put his life on hold for, say, five months to drive her wagon; and that doesn't include his return trip. At this point, she's out of options. Excerpt: "Mr. Jerome, would you be interested in driving my wagon to Oregon? I would pay you well."Cooper blinked, forcing himself to look away from the pleading in her eyes. "Uh, well, ma'am..." He glanced back. She looked like she was about to cry."Uh, ma'am, now that would take me away from my place through planting season and harvest, and longer." He dreaded her expression if he flat out refused."I would pay you whatever you would make during harvest and more." She blinked and brushed at a tear that kept welling up in one eye. "Mr. Jerome, I'm desperate. I have no home. I have no husband. I have no family to turn to. I have a young son to care for. And I have very little time to prepare before departure. The wagon train leaves the end of April. Believe me, if I were capable of driving the oxen myself, I would do so. But, as you can see, I am neither large, nor strong. I fear I would kill myself and my child. Besides, I doubt the train master would even allow me near the team after he saw me crack a whip." She gave a pathetic smile at her attempt at a joke.Cooper forced his eyes away from hers and glanced down the street at the big "saloon" sign. He wanted that drink. Stalling for time, he removed his Stetson, slapped it against his thigh, replaced it, scratched his neck, and finally met her gaze again. "Give me some time to think about it."

Storm Summit
Summary
A hardened lawman fighting the betrayal of the woman he loved. The female agent who couldnt rid him from her heart. Chandler Evans made the decision years ago to turn his back on a privileged life in New York to follow his older brother, Gabe, to the frontier. He didnt regret the decision to become a Texas Ranger, only the choices that went with it. His first mistake had been to accept a government agent as a partner. The second was to fall in love with a woman incapable of returning his emotions. Agent Elizabeth Cartman became a widow much too young. Guilt plagued her, especially when feelings for a young Texas Ranger grew too strong to ignore. Retreat had been her lone option, running from her feelings easier than facing them. She never expected to see him again, but fate had other ideas. Handing in his badge and riding north, Chan followed a precarious path to Splendor. Settling in as a US marshal, he obeyed a summons to Big Pine, finding himself face-to-face with the one woman he hoped had disappeared from his life forever. Refusing the new assignment would achieve nothing, especially when a routine investigation turned to a game of life and death. The hunters become the hunted, while the identity of the threat continues to elude them. As their mutual attraction grows, rekindling what theyd lost years before, they find themselves facing direct attacks to them and those they care about. Can two fiercely independent people find a way to accept their love while fighting those intent on driving them apart by any means necessary? Storm Summit, book 14 in the Redemption Mountain historical Western romance series, is a full-length novel with an HEA and no cliff-hanger.

A known troublemaker around town, she can't seem to keep a job or avoid skirmishes with the law, so the town marshal implores Heath to help.

Orphaned and alone for several years, 19-year-old Willow is used to taking care of herself. She sleeps wherever she can find a soft surface and roams freely. She doesn't drink whiskey every night and she only steals when she has to, so it doesn't seem fair when the marshal insists she give up her freedom to work for Heath. She suspects that the rancher is as humorless as he is handsome. Heath and Willow are as different as two people can be, but a tentative friendship forms. Old habits die hard, though, and it doesn't take long for Willow to engage in familiar shenanigans. When problems arise, will Heath regret bringing trouble home, or will he get to the bottom of it, once and for all? Warning: Bringing Trouble Home contains sexual scenes and domestic discipline, including punishment spanking. If you don't like these themes, please don't buy this audiobook.
