Chestnut Valley Ranch

Ronja T. Lejonhjärta

Gabby lives light and loose, drifting from place to place with no ties and no plans to stay. It suits her just fine, until one charged night flips her world and sends her toward a ranch she never expected to call home. Jax runs that ranch with his two best friends, juggling responsibility, loyalty, and feelings he didn’t see coming. As daily life settles into muddy boots, shared space, and slow-burning tension, both are pushed to face what they usually run from. While the land grows strong and steady, hearts are tested, routines are shaken, and unexpected tenderness sneaks in. It’s a story about finding footing, choosing to stay, and wondering if love can grow in the most surprising soil.

Catching His Songbird

Catching His Songbird

Jane Anne

Wren never wanted a baby. Or a boyfriend. Or to see her best friend Morgan naked. Oops. One out of three ain’t bad.

Wren Lancaster has her life perfectly under control—no messy feelings, no romantic entanglements, and absolutely no babies. That is, until her infuriatingly charming best friend Morgan suggests the unthinkable: have a baby together.

It’s not like they haven’t already crossed some lines. Okay, several lines. But what starts as a completely logical, totally non-sexual agreement (with a few steamy exceptions, for science) quickly spirals into a chaotic whirlwind of late-night confessions, shower escapades, and surprise feelings.

Now there’s a baby. Possibly love. And definitely a whole lot of awkward conversations to come.

If Wren can survive her past, Morgan’s unsolicited bird-themed baby name list, and the world’s most persistent ex-girlfriend, she might just stumble into the one thing she swore she never wanted… happiness.

Marked Man

Marked Man

Ophelia Bell

My family’s ties to a certain set of crime lords are more tangled and volatile than the wires in an IED. They’ve called on me to disarm a situation ready to explode, but in spite of all my training, I’m not sure any of us are getting out of this unscathed.

That’s especially true when I find out the black-ops mission I’ve signed up for is commanded by none other than Sadie Watts, the girl who left me in the dust so many years ago I should be over it. But I’m not, and seeing her again, especially in such close quarters, is a distraction I can’t afford.

I know what I’m out here fighting for—my brothers; my sister; the USA—but as we close in on our target, I start to wonder if it’s not her I’m fighting for too.

Tatiana Mendoza

Something's wrong...

That's what always nags at Gabriela whenever she sees Kevin Saldivar, the cousin of her crush, Francis Saldivar.

But while the rest of the school swoons, Gabriela knows a fraudster is hiding behind the golden boy's mask.

Now a high school senior, Gabriela plans to make Francis notice her. But to get close to the kind-hearted and brilliant boy she's pined for since sixth grade, Gabriela needs to deal with Kevin, the very person she'd rather avoid!

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

C. Swallow

My father died when I was a baby.

My mother died when I was two.

I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.

I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.

But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.

The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.

Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.

Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.

Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?

Vivienne Wren

“He held the cupcake over the trash like it was a threat.” Hailey should hate Heath Cavanaugh for that. She does hate him. Which makes the way her pulse jumps when he looks at her… deeply inconvenient. Before romance gets anywhere near her life, Hailey’s just trying to be a good nanny to sweet, sand-covered Elsie and survive her boss’s mood swings. Then Heath starts hovering at bedtime, showing up at the splash pad in dress clothes, and acting personally offended that Hailey gave her number to a gorgeous, golden-retriever man named Wes. 🙃 Heath is bossy, blunt, and allergic to fun. He also catches Elsie when she launches herself at him, tells ridiculous stories that make her howl with laughter, and watches Hailey like he’s memorizing her. You know that look. Hailey flirts with Wes at the park because she’s allowed to date like a normal woman, thanks. Heath responds by policing her cupcakes, her plans, and her boundaries… until Elsie literally forces them to hug goodnight. And right when Hailey thinks she’s finally getting space, she rushes upstairs after her date and finds Elsie’s bed empty.
