cowboy cowgirl forbidden love romance west western wildwest

Lillian Walker is 17, clueless about men, and only knows about life on the ranch. 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. Out here, there are no men her age, no grand love stories, no stolen glances across candlelit dinners. Just dust, sweat, and the weight of knowing this is all she'll ever have.

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.All Rights Reserved

Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone by lunasarchives

If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from.

Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her.

Western Heat by MustangSabby

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.

"I'm a terrible dancer," I whisper. "And I guess the cowboy is much better than the city girl." My sarcasm is purely intended, and when he smiles heat courses through me. "The minute you start thinking is when you step on your partner's foot, Ms. Jones. Allow me to guide you, and show you what cowboys can do to city girls," he tells me softly, taking my hand about his shoulder, holding me securely. And damn, he's hot. __________________ When Kira Jones finally decides to take a six-week summer vacation, her best and only friend, Samantha, drags her to a trip out of California. What awaits on the way is something Kira has never fathomed at all, as her life gets a serious turn upon seeking the answer to her search. She meets a mysterious ranch owner whom her friend already has eyes for, and Kira finds herself drawn near him in a very strange way.
