Louise has finally left her abusive ex behind, but starting work as a weekend ranch hand has more in store for her than she ever bargained for.

Both skilled cowboys. Both with a hatred for one another that runs deeper than the Jim Walter coal mines. As loyalties blur and secrets surface, Louise's heart is caught at a crossroads. But with someone in the shadows pulling strings, will she survive long enough to tell the man she truly loves that her heart will always be his? *Book 1 - Country Hearts Series* *Please note: Contains mature content, including strong language, mental & physical abuse, sexual references and mature sexual content. 18+ readers only. *Note - All chapters are titles of songs - you can find the full playlist on YouTube here: http://bit.ly/4m311or

Six years ago, Blanchard Collins packed her bags, boarded a bus to Houston, and never looked back. She left behind her abusive father, the town that never forgave her for speaking her mind, and Rueben Bailey, the boy who broke her heart the night before they were supposed to run away together. Now twenty-four, Blanchard returns home with her five-year-old daughter, Willow, and a dying mother who's asked for one final thing-her presence. But coming home means facing the ghosts she thought she'd buried, including the man she's never truly stopped loving. Rueben "Benny" Bailey did what his family expected. Stayed, took over the farm, and proposed to the girl everyone said was right for him. But when Blanchard walks back into church with a little girl who looks just like him, everything he's built starts to fall apart.

Venturer finds out that building a production company from the soil up, is hard, and it's costly. That's why when Rupert believes he's hit the jackpot by gaining sponsors, he's taken aback by Declan's reluctance. Declan O'Hara, a man of pride and integrity, would not rely on a snobby socialite for his cause, not a chance in hell. But when that chance in hell doesn't go his way, will he be able to get over himself? Or will problems be created for all involved, and will those problems be daydreams or nightmares? (Declan O'Hara x OC) (This takes place after season 1, but does not follow the plot of season 2 / the rest of the book)

Corinium Television, a once-prestigious production company tucked away in the English countryside, is in crisis. To salvage its public image, Tony Baddingham calls in a specialist: Alexandra Thorne: a glacial redhead, divorced from a powerful politician, a single mother, and a ruthless strategist. Reluctantly, she returns to the Cotswolds, surrounded by rumors, former friends, old enemies, and a workplace unsure whether to fear her or admire her. Amid budget cuts, sabotaged costumes, and crumbling scripts, Alexandra must lead the charge to modernize Corinium... and stop Venturer from claiming victory. What she didn't expect? Declan O'Hara: a rugged, serious, mildly infuriating Irish journalist with an inconvenient history of accidental charm. Between dangerous flirtations, whispered exchanges in crowded rooms, behind-the-scenes cold wars, and nights where there's only one bed... what happens when she begins to suspect she may have chosen the wrong side of the story? Too late to run. And Alexandra Thorne has never been one to back down from a fight. Declan O'Hara x OC
