Wild Hearts Book 1: Flame

Wild Hearts Book 1: Flame

by Marie Scully

Danny arrives at Wild Horse Ranch ready to grab her payout and disappear before her past catches up. She keeps her walls high, her secrets close and her exit route planned. But everything shifts when Liam, the sharp-eyed jockey next door, gets a text that leaves him asking who’s suddenly riding into his life with Ben. Used to having every answer, he finds only questions when Danny steps close. Sparks flare where neither of them wants them, and every glance feels like trouble. At a ranch where no one truly outruns their past, Danny and Liam learn that one unexpected spark can burn down the life they know… or light the way home.

Cowboy Casanova

Cowboy Casanova

by Juno Sparks

Isobel Wright didn’t come to Wears Valley looking for trouble. She came to help her best friend with a spooked mare and maybe breathe a little Tennessee air. She didn’t expect the horse whisperer — the one with rope burns on his hands, a slow-burn smile, and hazel eyes that made her knees forget their job.

Ryder Callahan looks like he was born in the saddle. And he was. What no one around here knows is that he also owns half of Manhattan.

He keeps those two worlds airtight. Always has.

But Isobel makes him want to stop.

One small town. Two people hiding more than they say. And a pull between them that’s harder to outrun than a two-thousand-pound bull.

Some secrets are worth keeping. Some are worth blowing wide open.

She had once been alive—now she was a fragile presence in beige dresses and measured gestures. Whatever was left of her dreams dissolved night after night into cold Chilean wine and fractured conversation. A

What Remains The John Baker Story

by Jeannie Sharpe

Savannah Baker has built her life on loyalty, routine, and the quiet belief that love, real love, means staying. In Nashville, where every street carries a memory, Savannah's world centers on her husband, John Baker, and their two teenagers, Joseph and Sadie.

But appearances have a way of hiding what matters most. When a car accident leaves John fighting for his life, the fragile foundation of their world begins to fracture. As he struggles to recover, the quiet spaces between them fill with questions neither is ready to answer, because long before the crash, something had already gone wrong. Savannah senses it in the way John avoids her eyes. And then there is Claire Whitmore: a name that doesn't belong in their life, and yet somehow does.

Savannah does what she has always done. She stays. For Joseph and Sadie. For the family she believes is still worth saving. But love, she is about to learn, is not the same as trust.
