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.

Western Flame
Tanner West struggles to protect everything he's ever known when a deadly threat comes for his family, including the love of his life Liana Forbes, who is back in his life after more than a decade apart. ***** Tanner West has dedicated his life to West Line Ranch. He gave up college, his dreams and the woman he loved to take over the ranch when his mother died. When that same woman walks back onto the ranch twelve years after they broke up, will he take the chance he's been given to make it right, or will he keep walking the path he'd chosen that fateful night when he let her go? Liana Forbes doesn't mess around. She's tough, smart, and protects her heart no matter what. But when Tanner West is suddenly back in her life, the big brother to her best friend's fiancee, she has to make a choice. Will she resist the attraction to the only man who has ever broken her heart, or will she let him back in, even if it means he puts the ranch before her and breaks her heart all over again? Tanner and Liana must navigate through the hurt and memory shared between them as they come face to face with their rekindled attraction. As they grow closer, a deadly threat to the ranch could take everything away, including their chance at happiness. This is Book 3 of the West Line Ranch Series.

On the Outskirts
~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?مكتمِلة
Lone Star | Rhett Abbott
Wabang, Wyoming ain't big enough for the both of them-or at least, that's how it's felt since sophomore year. Rhett Abbott and Abigail Reed were inseparable growing up. Their families' ranches stretched across the prairie from one another, and their childhoods were built on bonfires, rodeos, lake trips, and long summer nights. Abbott and Reed-two of the biggest names in town. Then came the night everything changed. A mid-autumn family camping trip, a fire pit under a sky full of stars, and a kiss neither of them forgot. But instead of drawing closer, they both froze-too scared to make a move, too proud to admit the truth. Rhett drifted toward Maria Olivares. Abby, out of heartbreak and maybe revenge, ended up with a Tillerson. Trevor Tillerson. Rhett saw them behind the Buffalo Bar, wrapped up in each other, and just like that, years of friendship went up in flames. They spent the rest of high school as enemies with matching bruised egos, sharp tongues, and lingering stares. Then Abby left town right after graduation, chasing a country music dream in Nashville-and Rhett never heard from her again. Until now. Six years later, Abby's back in Wabang-washed-up, heartbruised, and coasting on the last fumes of a stalled career. But this time, she's not just passing through. Thrown back together by old memories and even older tension, Rhett and Abby find themselves circling that same fire again. The feelings never left. The timing was just wrong. This is a second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with bull rides, bonfires, bar brawls-and a love that never really died. Because in Wabang, some feuds never fade. And neither does first love.
