Knox Three years ago, my wife disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing but a note and a hole in my heart. Now a wildfire is barreling toward Diamond C Ranch, the drought’s bled me dry, and the hotshot fire specialist the government drops on my porch is… her. Only she’s calling herself Aspen Bennett, acting like we’ve never met, and pretending she’s not the woman I loved—and lost. Forced to shelter in place with the one person I swore never to forgive, we’re surrounded by danger, smoke, and the kind of sparks that never died out. I don’t know why Claire left or what ...

Two friends. One fake marriage. A scandal that starts with a flying pizza box. Nomi Hannon’s city council campaign is off to a smashing start—literally. One unfortunate run-in (and one very photogenic best friend sprawled on top of her) later, she’s the punchline of a viral meme. Her opponent says it’s proof she’s reckless, scandalous, and unfit for public office. Clearly, there’s only one solution: fake a marriage with her best friend and pray the voters eat it up. Malone DuMar isn’t the marrying kind—especially not after his ex stole his company and destroyed his trust. ...

Eliza Moore spends her days running a salon and her nights chatting with the one man who never lets her down—a mysterious online stranger named Quinoa.

But pretending he’s not completely intrigued by the fiery stylist who clearly thinks he’s the human embodiment of a...

Colt Buying back Wild River Equestrian Center is supposed to be my victory lap—the moment the Blackwoods reclaim the legacy we built from the dirt up. Instead, I show up to find Briar Winters already moved in, working her fancy dressage horse like she owns the place. Because she thinks she does. Turns out we were both sold the same property by different scammers, and now the title’s a legal mess. Our lawyers can’t fix it anytime soon, which means we’re stuck sharing a barn, a training arena…and a too-small apartment for the next ninety days. We strike a deal: train our horses, ...

Flint Diamond C Ranch is on the brink of collapse, and my last shot at saving it is Elite Venture Capital’s evaluation. I was expecting a suit with a spreadsheet—not Skye Parker, the woman I fell for and foolishly let go. Only now she doesn’t remember me. A hiking accident wiped the slate clean, erasing our past. She’s here to assess the ranch, and I’m supposed to act like we’re strangers while she decides the fate of everything my family built. Two weeks. That’s all I have to help her recall the strategy that could save us… without triggering the memories of why she walked ...

I’ve spent five years running from my father’s name. Richard Davidson destroyed this community—broke families, drove good people to desperation.

Injured, I stumble onto Rowan Hayes’ mountain ranch during the worst blizzard in decades. She patches me up without knowing I’m the son of the man who ruined her life. I should’ve left. Would have, if the storm hadn’t trapped us. If she hadn’t looked at me like I was worth saving. If ...

Sawyer My life is measured in eight-second increments, over and over until I’ve won every bull-riding buckle there is.

Then Phoenix Morgan bids on me at a bachelor auction and buys herself a cowboy. Not for a date—as a mentor to her kid brother. A last shot at keeping him out of trouble before a judge decides his future. I should’ve walked. But the more time I spend with them, the more I want to stay. Phoenix is everything I never knew I wanted—...

I came home to disappear. I didn’t plan on being seen. Going off the radar should be simple for a guy who makes a living pretending to be other people. But hiding in my hometown of Kilt Valley—disguised, renamed, and dodging my very recognizable face—that’s turning out to be the role of a lifetime. No cameras. No red carpets. Just me, a borrowed name, and two weeks to prove I can go invisible before my next movie. What I didn’t count on was Maren—a documentary filmmaker with too much heart and a camera she’s not afraid to use. She doesn’t know who I really am. At least, I ...
