The year is 1888. Secrets begin to unfurl when Frank Forester arrives to court Sarah Lawrence. His idea to stay turns into a need to get her out of town. At each turn, surprises arrive. The trip to the ranch does not go as expected and Jacob Forester also finds things going wrong. He's agreed to ride with the Rangers once again, and ends up meeting Taylor Daniels. She's young, vulnerable, and heading to see her Aunt Bess, who he knows is the owner of the saloon in Clear Creek. Jacob understands she doesn't know, so he offers her work at the ranch. The fact that he finds himself wanting to take care of her creates another problem. If his sister was home, instead of traveling to meet her new husband's family in Oklahoma, things wouldn't be such a mess. Nothing goes as one thinks it should, except for Gregor who seems to always anticipate trouble.

Roped by Her Ride
Hudson Tate is a first-class bull rider with a chip on his shoulder and a long-standing rule-never trust a city girl. After too many broken promises and one too many high heels in the dirt, he's earned his reputation as the rodeo circuit's most irresistible player-and its most guarded heart. Then comes Callie Monroe, a top-ranked barrel racer with a sleek look and a city-girl reputation that rubs Hudson the wrong way from the start. She's too polished, too confident, and too good at pretending she doesn't care what people think. Hudson can't stand her-until he starts noticing the calluses on her hands, the way she trains her horse before dawn, and how she talks about the land like she grew up breathing it. Turns out, Callie isn't who he thought she was. Raised on a dusty ranch and shoved into city life by family pressure, she's spent years fighting to prove she belongs back in the saddle-and not in some glass tower. As tensions turn to sparks, Hudson is forced to face the one thing he's avoided his entire life: letting someone in. But with both their careers on the line and past wounds refusing to heal, will love be enough to rope in a cowboy who's always ridden solo?Complete

The bartender tells him to not go looking for trouble, but amongst the dark shadows and beautiful faces, it finds him in the form of Ryker. Ryker isn't known for being a nice guy. He's got a line that most people would believe is too malleable, but he is one of the good guys.

Jesse Colter, 26, is a rugged cowboy who's spent too many years on the road-alone, restless, and without a woman's warmth. Her father offers him a job for bed and food, bringing him under their roof-with strict rules and watchful eyes. What will happen as they work on the ranch, side by side? _ Lillian Walker has lived her whole life on the ranch-isolated, routine, untouched by the world beyond the fence line.

Until Jesse Colter rides in. Rugged. Mysterious. Too damn handsome for his own good. A drifter with nowhere to go and secrets he won't share, looking for work in exchange for a bed and food. Her father agrees. Now, Jesse will be sleeping just down the hall. Working under the same scorching sun. Eating at the same table. And Lillian? She's never been more curious about a man in her life.Complete
Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
