excerpt

Actress Maggie McIntyre hadn't come to Mountain Springs, Wyoming, to be lassoed by handsome rancher Joe Watley! Still, to keep custody of her troubled nephew, she had to step away from the bright lights of Broadway and into Joe's Cowboy Quest program for wayward youths. But it was hard for city slicker Maggie to resist her sizzling attraction to the sexy cowboy, who awakened long-forsaken dreams of love and security. Would she have to choose between the career she loved and the man who could help mend her broken family? Or could Maggie truly have it all?

excerpt

At sixteen, Marigold Sherwood thought she'd love Brian Hawkins forever. Only things didn't turn out the way they planned. Twelve years--and several heartbreaks--later, the burnt-out CEO had come back to Hawk's Lake to figure out her future.

That future didn't include Brian, now an irresistibly attractive and ambitious man who reignited a bittersweet passion. He wanted to pick up where they'd left off...and Mari was ready to put down stakes right there, but Brian longed to escape his small town.

Unless she could convince him that love wasn't a place but a state of heart?

excerpt

Widow Melanie Bennett knew her little boy's Christmas wish couldn't come true. So she vowed to give him the best holiday she could. And that meant avoiding strikingly handsome Sam LeDoux, the rescue worker she held responsible for their loss.

But while visiting Hawk's Lake for the annual Snow Festival, Sam was everywhere--lighting the town's Christmas tree, coaching peewee ice hockey. He was even roped into playing the part of the town's Santa--whom her son believed in with all his heart. Now Sam was asking Melanie to believe?in his love for her and little Kyle. Just in time to give them all the best Christmas gift ever?.

excerpt

Workaholic Susan Collins wasn't the Gold Buckle Ranch's typical visitor--or camp counselor. The high-powered CEO was more likely to write a check to help disabled children than to teach them arts and crafts. For Susan, it was all business, never personal. So the last thing she expected was a rodeo cowboy to ride into the Gold Buckle and sweep her off her feet.

Clint Scully was more at home dodging bulls in the ring than charming pretty but prickly executives from New York City. But there's a reason they say opposites attract...and sometimes that reason just might be true love!

excerpt

Single mother, Beth Conroy, learns that her son Kevin won a week at the Gold Buckle Ranch where he'll be participating in their Wheelchair Rodeo program. Kevin's hero, bull riding champion Jake Dixon, is the man who started the program which gives children in wheelchairs the opportunity to rope and ride and be real cowboys/girls for a week. Jake was a hero to Kevin at a time when he needed one the most, so they pack up and fly to Wyoming.

When Beth and Kevin arrive at the Gold Buckle Ranch, Beth is immediately wary of Jake and his drinking. Beth's late husband was an alcoholic. It was he who drove drunk and crashed into a bridge with Kevin in the car. He died, and Kevin is relegated to a wheelchair, even after several operations. Jake thinks that Beth is too overprotective of Kevin. Beth thinks that Jake ought to stick to what he knows best: riding bulls and running Wheelchair Rodeo. As they get to know one another, Beth discovers that Jake has serious medical problems. If he rides again, he could be permanently injured. When she falls in love with him, she knows it will never work. She can't deal with another person who she loves confined in a wheelchair, especially when he can prevent it. Jake can't give up riding, it's his whole identity, and he's riding for a different goal this time: someone put up a million dollars. Jakes wants the money for Wheelchair Rodeo.

Together they discover that if they both give a little, love will find a way.
