Will she stay to tame the cowboys heart? Or will she dance into her future with a man that has a dark past?

If you've read one book, you've read them all. Right? Wrong? For Robinne James, every book she turns her hand to follows the same predictable, mind-numbing pattern. When you're able to predict a book's outcome from the first chapter, who wouldn't lose interest? She's tired of the same old boy-meets-girl story, as no one ever truly had a life like they do in romance books. Her own life has the same dull, predictable, mind-numbing pattern and as a result, she decides to uproot her life and swap it for hopefully much better one in the small Texas town of Dripping Springs. As a struggling freelance editor and hopeful future author, it wasn't too difficult a decision to make. Moving across the Atlantic will hopefully be a better life for her. It wasn't like she had much of a life back home in England to lose, should her decision be a bad one. Dripping Springs will hopefully be the place where she will finally discover who she should really be, finding a life that she never dreamed of having back home. Then again, straightforward plans had a way of veering off now and then, didn't they? Trying to figure herself out in her new home in her new life in America, including who she wants to be while avoiding as many clichés as possible, she now has to navigate around one stubborn, hard-headed yet pure-hearted cowboy.

She came over to start a new and unique life with plenty of brand new experiences to boot, well she was about to get her wish. Just, times a million. Enjoy the ride.Complete

Swayde never thought he would fall for feisty Reagan, and even more so, Reagan never thought that she would fall for him. They end up in this unexpected whirlwind relationship, and everything is hunky dory until Reagan finds out a secret from Swayde's past that would forever change the way she looked at him; a secret he kept from her for over ten years. Confiding in her grandma, Reagan finds out that her grandparents knew the secret all along too. How could the people she thought loved her hurt her so bad and keep this big of a secret from her for so long?

Through God, can Reagan find a way to forgive the people who hurt her, or will she forever consider Alpine Ridge "Heartbreak Town?"Complete
Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken.
