Even the Wildflowers
When Callie Morgan's husband walks out without a word, she's left with a broken heart, two young children, and a crumbling farmhouse out in the countryside her grandparents once called home. With no plan and no one to rely on but herself, she does what she's always done-she survives. But healing isn't easy when everything reminds her of what she's lost... until a quiet, sun-kissed cowboy named Colter Ridge steps in. He's rough around the edges, keeps to himself, and carries his own ghosts-but something about the way he sees her, steady and unafraid, begins to loosen the walls she's built. As the seasons shift and wildflowers bloom through cracked soil, Callie begins to find beauty in the mess, strength in the silence, and the kind of love that doesn't demand perfection-only truth. ****BOOK ONE, COMPLETE****Complete
Beneath the Summer Sky
He's twice her age, her best friend's dad, and the last man she should want. But out here on the ranch, rules don't stand a chance against desire. After a painful breakup, Harper escapes to the Hawke family ranch to clear her head. She expected fresh air, familiar routines, and a little peace.

And once Harper notices the way his gaze lingers a little too long... she can't stop wanting more. He's tried to ignore the slow burn between them. Tried to remember she's off-limits. But when one stolen kiss shatters the fragile boundary between them, all bets are off. Their connection is dangerous. Their chemistry is explosive. And if anyone finds out, it could destroy everything.Complete
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.
