(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
Shay Crawford never thought her parents would get divorced. She never thought she would have to leave Georgia. She never thought her life would self-destruct. And she definitely never thought that her mom would die when she was only 16. But sometimes things happen when you least expect them.
Now, she is being forced to go back to her hometown to live with her estranged father on his horse ranch. Troubled, broken, and resentful, she struggles to move on from her past.
Then she meets Luke Hayes. Sure, he is gorgeous, but he is also obnoxious, reckless, and pisses her off to no end. And yet, she can't shake the fact that he can get through to her in a way nobody else does.
What happens when the guy who drives you crazy becomes the person who understands you better than anyone else?

Heat In The Hayloft
Carla Duvall never planned on inheriting her families farm, or the loneliness that came with it. Her days are filled with milking cows, caring for chickens, fixing fences, and pretending she doesn't hear the gossip that follows her wherever she goes. Then Rowan Maddox drives back into town -- the milkman with a reputation for never staying put. He's charming, infuriatingly kind, and far too familiar. Once, years ago, they'd been inseparable, until one kiss got them torn apart. Now he's back to help repair the barn, and Carla can't ignore the pull between them. The more time they spend together, the harder it gets to hide her feelings, and the harder it is to forget that he always leaves. In a town where everyone talks and nothing stays secret for long, Carla must decide what's worth holding onto: her grief, her pride, or the man who keeps showing up when the world feels too heavy to bear.

Country Girl at Heart
After being caught, tried and arrested for a crime she didn't do; Lexi Hunter has a choice. It's either Juvie or spend the summer on her dad's ranch working off her probation. Should be an easy pick, right? Only problem is, she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad in ten years. The last time she saw him was through a car window as her mom drove them and all their possessions away to go live a normal, busy, eccentric lifestyle in New York. So basically, being back at a place she used to call home with a man she can't muster the respect for to actually call 'dad', is a prison sentence in itself. Lexi is determined to hate and ridicule everything about her situation. Wanting nothing more than to get the summer over with so she can go back to real life. That all changes when she meets Dawson Priest; the ranch hand who she is forced to work side by side with. His optimistic, simple, almost eloquent outlook on life, the world, and the small town ranch life in general sparks her to see things from his perspective and may even challenge her enough to mend the strained relationship with her dad. This is a story of self discovery, personal growth, a steamy cowboy fling, and learning the importance of forgiveness. This simple, small town life may not seem as much of a jail sentence by the end of the summer. Who knows, maybe Lexi turns out to be a country girl at heart after all.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.
