If you've read one book, you've read them all. Right? Wrong? For Robinne James, every book she turns her hand to follows the same predictable, mind-numbing pattern. When you're able to predict a book's outcome from the first chapter, who wouldn't lose interest? She's tired of the same old boy-meets-girl story, as no one ever truly had a life like they do in romance books. Her own life has the same dull, predictable, mind-numbing pattern and as a result, she decides to uproot her life and swap it for hopefully much better one in the small Texas town of Dripping Springs.
As a struggling freelance editor and hopeful future author, it wasn't too difficult a decision to make. Moving across the Atlantic will hopefully be a better life for her. It wasn't like she had much of a life back home in England to lose, should her decision be a bad one. Dripping Springs will hopefully be the place where she will finally discover who she should really be, finding a life that she never dreamed of having back home. Then again, straightforward plans had a way of veering off now and then, didn't they?
Trying to figure herself out in her new home in her new life in America, including who she wants to be while avoiding as many clichés as possible, she now has to navigate around one stubborn, hard-headed yet pure-hearted cowboy. Oh, not to mention his four other brothers, his doting mother, his equally as stubborn father and one useless ranch dog. She came over to start a new and unique life with plenty of brand new experiences to boot, well she was about to get her wish. Just, times a million.
Enjoy the ride.

Western Heat
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.

But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.Complete

Through God, can Reagan find a way to forgive the people who hurt her, or will she forever consider Alpine Ridge "Heartbreak Town?"Complete
