The Worst Part by circa1927

Max is over her ex. And over relationships. Really. She is. Just because she'd been in love with him since she was 16, and they were literally moments away from getting married at one point, why wouldn't she be over Evan? After all, he left her at the alter and absconded with her "best friend", Andrea. Max may be over Evan, but the little town she lives in, Brush River, is anything but. The nearly 2,000 residents won't let her forget their golden couple status, let alone live down the saddest, most humiliating day of her life. And then there's Sam. He's not quite a resident of Brush River, but he suddenly shows up, and starts to make himself at home. Quiet, a loner, and unforgivably good looking, Max can't help but wonder about his story. Why is he all alone? Why is he so content fixing up her Uncle's old, dilapidated farm house? And why can't Max get him off of her mind? Besides, she's over her ex. And over relationships. Really. She is.

BROKEN VOWS (Broken Redemption Book 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the golden boy with a bright future they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parent's property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust.

A Port Ranch Christmas (A Christmas Novella) by JSmith_Writes

Merry Christmas from your favorite family from Port-Alexander Ranch. You've watched them grow up, fall in love, get married, and pop out a LOT of babies. Now it is time to check in and see how they're doing this Christmas season. This short novella is the perfect update that you didn't know you needed. The highlight of this Christmas is a short visit home from our favorite broody man's youngest daughter. Granger might be over the moon excited for his daughter coming home from college for Christmas, but he's hardly thrilled that she's bringing a guest of the male persuasion. Ella Turner may have had her fair share of boyfriends, but none that she dared to introduce to her dad. That was until she met Dustin Lawson. She's all country, but he was born and raised in the city. He's not above getting a little dirty if that means showing a bunch of hardass men that he's worthy of Ella. That task may be a bit more difficult than originally planned. If he succeeds, he'll find himself welcomed into a family in a way he has never imagined. If he fails, well let's just say that Granger still has plenty of farmland and nobody would ever suspect a thing. Regardless, Christmas at Port-Alexander Ranch this is year bound to be one for the memory books.
