Nash Carter. Retired ice hockey player and part time cowboy. Also my brother’s best friend and therefore strictly off limits.

Despite the fact he can’t stop staring at me like I’m his favourite snack. And I . . . like it?

After finally escaping the toxic relationship that consumed most of my adult life, I thought I’d sworn off men.

Then Nash hired me to work for him. And somehow we ended up spending the night together.

It was only supposed to happen once. But now that I’ve had a taste, there’s no way I’m walking away.

All I have to do to give us a shot? Take a deep breathe and let go of the reins. . .

Wade Ashby is the grumpiest cowboy I’ve ever met. He also happens to be my boss and the hottest man in Southern America.

It’s been my dream to train a horse on route the Kentucky derby for as long as I can remember. So when the opportunity to work at the Silver Pines ranch presented itself, I grabbed it by the horns.

Being the best horse trainer in Kentucky was my only priority. Until I accidentally slept with my boss.
Now, I can’t think of anything but him.

And once I start tearing down his walls, there’s no going back.

Because the only way he’ll open up his heart again is if it stays that way forever.

Small town cowboy romance

When Cole Ashby is appointed Laurel Creek’s interim sheriff, he is determined to prove himself as the best man for the job. A devoted single dad, his goal is to lay steady roots for his young daughter.

The daughter of a Kentucky congressman, Ginger Danforth's life has always been about neat appearances. But inside she’s dying to break free and embrace the sense of adventure that runs through her veins.

During a wild weekend in Vegas, Ginger and Cole play a game of truth or dare and, after a few too many drinks, find themselves hitched in a neon-lit chapel. With no quick way out, they strike a deal: stay secretly married until Ginger’s father is re-elected and Cole lands the sheriff job permanently.

But as the pair are forced to spend an increasing amount of time in each other’s company, sparks fly and their accidental marriage starts to feel dangerously real.

Until they forget they were ever pretending at all. . .
