Hot, funny, sizzling romance!
At the airport, Margo Santero crosses the path of a handsome stranger. For a woman with too many secrets to hide, a cocky ex Marine is a dangerous distraction. Except maybe just this once…

From working a Texas fence line under the grueling summer sun, Robert Damien ‘Rod’ McLemore is thrust back into the line of duty. Doing an airport pickup of a wedding guest should be a no-brainer mission. Only he’s blindsided by a pretty woman with a little too much sass for her own good.

After one red-hot encounter, these lovers discover they aren’t strangers. A sexy mistake has Margo ready to combust… until McLemore makes an offer too perfect to pass up. From on the run, she accepts this cowboy’s offer, buying her time to outgun the con man vowing to extract a pound of flesh.

In a stormy love affair, Margo and Rod’s irresistible attraction forces them over the edge as they wrangle nosy in-laws, Mother Nature, and a ruthless headhunter for the mob.

In a merciless showdown, one of them is set to take a fall. Yet in Texas, a battle worth fighting means taking a stand and these lovers do whatever it takes to stay together. Even if it means they have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill.

Too Hot To Handle is fast-paced, scorching romance, bringing together the entire McLemore clan in Mia and Brandon’s wedding (the high-octane couple from Collared By the Cowboy), and introducing a new character: Margo Santero (Mia’s little sister).

Sensitive Subject Alert: At the core of this love-conquers-all novel resides the story a young woman, pushed to the brink, who’ll do anything to protect the horse entrusted to her care, as well as coming to terms with her mother’s death.

If Gunnery Sergeant Zane Hall wants to save his family’s ranch, he’ll need to fix up the buildings, stock the spread with cattle—and find a wife. The first two are easy with the help of his brothers, but getting hitched is proving more difficult.

But when Zane meets Kenna, she’s nothing like he expects, and Zane finds himself changing his priorities, fast.

If Storm Willow wants to save her family’s seaside cottage, she’ll have to keep her boss happy—which means taking Kenna’s place and marrying Zane when Kenna is detained out of the country. As long as Storm acts her part, no one will know that she’s an imposter. But when she falls for the handsome Marine, Storm begins to wonder if holding onto the cottage is worth giving up on love.

Can a fake marriage lead to real happiness? Or is disaster just a heartbeat away?

Taming Kat by Aubrey Cara

Steam: Steam Level 5

Moving halfway across the country to work part-time at a ranch had been a rash decision on Yankee, city girl Kat Martin’s part. She understood that. She had just needed to get away from her pesky mom and older sister telling her what she should be doing with her life. She had no idea her bold move was going to put her in daily close proximity to her one and only one-night stand, Caleb McCrae.

Kat may not know what she wants to do with her life but she does know she needs to stay well away from sexy neanderthal Caleb, who had strutted into her life and ripped her pants off.

Caleb is officially done with military life and is ready to settle down. He’s bought a stake in the ranch he grew up working at and is building a beautiful house. Now all he has to do is wrangle the one that got away. Kat Martin has been haunting his thoughts and steaming up his dreams ever since she skipped out on him after one of the hottest nights of his life. She may be giving him the cold shoulder now, but he knows just how to heat her up.

Warning: Contains one crystal ball reading mama, one gal with commitment issues and a sassy mouth, and one cowboy that believes his belt was meant for more than holding up his pants.
