A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series.

Falling in love never scared Maddie Davis until she fell for the one boy she swore to stay away from forever. Season 1 of My Brother's Best Friend ********* Maddie Davis has been in love with her brother's best friend, Cameron Holden, since she was in the sixth grade. They used to be best friends, too, until he got into high school and became a version of himself she didn't even recognize. Everyone said he was a shoo-in for the NFL, and he let it get to his head. Right before high school started, he worked out until he was built like a sculpture, he got rid of his braces, and suddenly the girls fell at his feet. But that was fine because her middle school crush faded. And besides, even if she did think he was hot, Cameron wasn't someone she could go for even if she wanted to. Unless, of course, she found herself wound up with him in a closet during a game of blind seven minutes -- a closet so tiny and secretive that she would finally be able to act on the feelings she's tried so desperately to hide. But what were the odds of that happening? Content warning: This story contains mature sexual content and themes of bullying, sexual assault, violence, and explicit language.

Moving in with my dad, whom I hadn't seen in eight years, was the first of many changes in my life. But meeting my sexy, evil stepbrother was something I was utterly unprepared for. Devin Archer has the face of an angel but the character of a devil, and it didn't help that he had an army of equally good-looking friends who were set to rock my world as well. "I don't want anyone wearing my clothes, not even girls I just fucked. But because your ranting like a baby is starting to really annoy me, you can have my shirt for now. But trust me, Crumpet, I will take it back soon." I was about to retort, but he cut me off, leaning closer to whisper in my ear. "And trust me, when that time comes, you'll be in my room, taking this shirt off right in front of me while you beg me to fuck your brains out." I saw her shiver before I turned around and left with the biggest smile plastered on my face. Yeah, that's him. My sexy, evil stepbrother, Devin Archer. He's the biggest jerk, isn't he? Yet, everyone at Wellington High worships him like he's their king. Sorry you had to witness that. Actually, that wasn't even his worst. Let's just say it's only the tip of the iceberg-or rather, the door to his personal hell. So, The Holy Trinity of a Hot Guy, you say?
