Home is where the heartache is...
  
  For Stormy Daigle, that's the way it's always been, and when she bolted from the Podunk town of Aubry, Maine ten years ago, she vowed to never come back.  So when circumstances force her to return, she has only two goals in mind:  (1) assist the ailing-yet-cantankerous old buzzard that is her father, and (2) get the hell out of dodge, ASAP!  But an unlikely friendship with one man and the possibility of renewed love with another has Stormy seeing things in an entirely different light, and she begins to realize that the biggest problem of all may be her own small-mindedness!  But just when she starts to believe in new dreams and second chances, a secret from her past emerges that threatens to destroy everything.
  
  Brian Lozier never liked Stormy Daigle and her snooty, better-than-all-of-this attitude, so when it turns out to be her very fine ass that he rescues from a car wreck one summer night, he's less than thrilled with his fate.  Still, her father is a friend, and Brian's mother raised him right, so he has no choice but to help her out.  Besides, she's easily riled, and it's kind of fun watching her get all worked up and flustered, until she's got him feeling that way... about her!  But a promise he made years ago has Brian torn between his heart and his integrity; and interference from Stormy's scheming ex-boyfriend once again pits Brian against his archrival over the affections of a woman.  But this time, Brian is determined to come out on top.All Rights Reserved

Untamed ni booklover_11087

"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequently
