A COWBOY TO REMEMBER
The Bluegrass Blackwells
by USA TODAY bestselling author Melinda Curtis

His family’s legacy…
Is their chance at love

Desperate for work, jockey Tamara Vaughn reluctantly agrees to train horses at the revered Blackwell Stables. She can’t avoid its connection to a smaller outfit in Texas, where her career veered off course and romantic feelings went unnoticed. Widowed horse breeder Nathan Blackwell never expected to work with Tamara again after the tragedy with his prized horse—but a doping scandal back home in Gold Finch, Kentucky, has left the ranch with few options. As they’re forced to team up, an undeniable chemistry builds, especially as Tamara helps his twin boys find their stride in bluegrass country. With her reputation and the ranch’s future riding on an emotionally charged high-stakes race, can she and Nathan also dare to become something more?
 
THE FAMILY HE ALWAYS WANTED
A Bachelor Cowboys Romance
By New York Times bestselling author Lisa Childs

Can his family of four…
Become her new home?

Attorney Nolan Stokes doesn’t want his children to become too fond of another woman who’ll just walk away, especially not a fiery singer who holds him in contempt. Frankie Dempsey resents Nolan for how he handled her uncle’s estate and has sworn to leave Willow Creek for the open road. But when Nolan reveals his biological ties to her best friend’s family, Frankie’s curiosity is piqued—and his three spirited children begin to claim her heart. Nolan fears he’s risking everything for a woman destined to leave, but can he give his heart to Frankie, who just might bring his kids and him everything they ever dreamed of?

SEASON FOR SECOND CHANCES
A Seasons Inn Romance
by USA TODAY bestselling author Amy Vastine

Autumn leaves are falling
And so is he…

As manager of his family’s inn, Quinn Seasons can handle unpredictable events. Yet Lia Posey’s reappearance blindsides him. His high school sweetheart left Apple Hollow almost twenty years ago. Now she’s back, moody teenage daughter in tow, looking for a fresh start. The least Quinn can do is hire Lia as the inn’s pastry chef and offer her and Audrey a room. For now. Corn mazes and apple picking remind Quinn how much fun he and Lia had together when they were young, and could still have now—if she decides to stay. But as feelings rekindle between them, how can he trust that what he can offer Lia will be enough this time around?

HOME ON THE RANCH
A Remedy Creek Romance
by Amie Denman

A reluctant cowboy…
Who’s looking for hope

Hotel consultant Nora Myers is used to difficult projects. But when she arrives at the Remedy Mountain Lodge, she’s stunned to find a breathtaking Wyoming resort…that’s practically deserted. Getting answers from the owner, Beck Duncan—an obstinate cowboy with the weight of responsibility (and a big chip) on his wide shoulders—feels impossible. This hotel was never Beck’s dream; it was his late brother’s. Now Beck wants nothing to do with the resort—or the pretty city-slicker consultant who’s just trying to help. But Nora’s never backed down from a hotel that’s in trouble…or from a rugged, solitary cowboy in need of a whole lot of rescuing.

Melinda grew up on an isolated sheep ranch, where mountain lions had been seen and yet she roamed unaccompanied. Being a rather optimistic, clueless of danger, sort she took to playing “what if” games that led her to become an author.  She spends days trying to figure out new ways to say “He made her heart pound.”  That might sound boring, but the challenge keeps her mentally ahead of her 3 kids and college sweetheart husband.
