An eight-second ride only feels like forever. True forever? That feels like home.

Alyssa Morgan could have buckled when Hunter left for the rodeo, taking her heart with him. And she could have withered when her grandfather died and left her alone. Instead, she has made a beautiful life for herself in Pine Creek. Right next door to Hunter’s family. Which was fine, since he was never coming back.

Hunter Carlson isn’t ready to say goodbye to the professional rodeo circuit. But when the doctor warns him that another concussion could leave him permanently injured—or worse—he is left with no choice but to head back to Pine Creek. Working on the family ranch isn’t as exciting as a bucking bull, but it should pay the bills.

Alyssa is speechless when Hunter comes back to town. Pine Creek isn’t exactly bustling, and any of Alyssa’s attempts to avoid Hunter are hopeless. She’s on the ranch as much as he is and there’s a big problem:

She expected to hate him…Not for the feelings to come rushing back after all these years.

COVER REVEAL: The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister

503 Views 0 Comments ,  , 

Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.

Just don’t do it.

Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.

As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.

The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.

Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.

After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.

Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her family’s fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving her precious little time to read or pursue her own dreams. But she’ll do anything for her family, so she cheerfully spends mornings in her rowboat, casting her nets. The very last thing Poppy expects or wants to find tangled in them is a dangerously attractive man. Especially one with a head wound—who’s convinced he’s a duke.

Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but he’s having the devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is he came to the seaside resort of Bellehaven Bay to escape his life in London.

Unfortunately, someone in Bellehaven wants to kill him—and he intends to find out who.
