THE COWBOY’S SURPRISE BABY
Dawson Family Ranch
By Melissa Senate

He came to pay his brother’s debts
He never expected to lose his heart

Will Riley died like he lived—fast and reckless, leaving a mess behind. Not to mention a list of things he wanted to accomplish. And now that he’s gone, it’s up to his brother, Boone, to pick up the pieces. Pay back the money Will owed. Make the apologies Will hadn’t managed. And, shockingly, meet the son Will never knew he had. Baby Cody wins his uncle’s heart in a flash, but it’s the boy’s beautiful mother who truly rattles Boone’s world. Yet after Will’s mistakes in the past, how can Boone ask Sarah to trust him with her future?

HER RODEO RIVAL’S RETURN
A Singer Pro Rodeo Romance
By Rebecca Crowley

Can they set aside their differences to save their livelihood?

Kenzie Wallace can’t believe Jesse Singer’s gall. He blames her for nearly bankrupting his family’s rodeo stock company! So Kenzie takes a job with his biggest rival, determined to put Jesse out of business. They’re working hard at their rivalry until an outlaw rodeo circuit threatens the sport—and livelihood—they both love.

Saving the rodeo means joining forces, even though Kenzie would rather ride her rankest bull than work with Jesse. But as resentment gives way to respect, the real challenge is resisting the heat between them. The arena’s not the only place hearts are pumping. If they want a shot at love, they better get their lassos ready. It’s going to be a wild ride.

A SOLDIER TO THE RESCUE
Veterans of Christmas Bay
By Kaylie Newell

Who rescued who?

When a hiker is missing, former military police officer Hudson Cross doesn’t hesitate to volunteer to join in the search and rescue—along with his loyal K9 partner, Bonnie. Hudson needs a sense of purpose in his new civilian life—and finding Georgia Gallagher might be just the ticket…

Georgia, mourning the death of her sister, is lost on more than just the trail, but Hudson makes her feel safe, warm, and protected—not to mention other feelings she’d love to explore. Both of them were brave in adversity; all they need now is the courage to open their hearts to love…

HER FAVORITE FUMBLE
A Wayward Harbor Romance
By New York Times bestselling author Shannon Stacey

He’s grumpy, gorgeous, totally impossible
…And her new roommate

After Lucy Macauley’s Las Vegas life implodes, she needs to regroup. Her grandmother’s beachside Maine cottage seems like the perfect place to put herself back together. But when she arrives, she runs straight into a grouchy complication—Nick Slater, the builder living on-site to make repairs. Nick knows better than to want things that are out of his reach. He learned that lesson when he gave up his football dreams. Still, Lucy lights him up in a way he hasn’t felt in years. And Nick has Lucy wondering if her temporary stay could turn into a lasting love.
