In order to finish her doctorate, grad student Delilah Kersey needs a job. Any job. So when she overhears a gorgeous rancher describing a job opportunity, she’s all in—if she can convince him she’s a real dog trainer. Of course, no one prepared Delilah for a chaotic household with four unruly dogs and a sexy new boss whose bedroom is right next door to hers.
Military vet Zero Renshaw’s return to civilian and family ranch life hasn’t been easy. He needs to transform four horrible dogs—who can only be described as a menace—into obedient cattle herders. But with his family still reeling from a shattering loss, Zero will do anything to make things better…even hiring an unpredictable dog trainer who’s more temptation than he can resist.
Now Delilah is transforming every aspect of Zero’s tightly-regimented life. She even seems to be healing his family, including his small, broken-hearted nephew. But Zero has no room for mistakes…even if he’s falling for the best one he’s ever made.

Pastry chef Tessa Montgomery knows what everyone in the teeny town of Blossom Glen says about her. Spinster. Ice Queen. Such a shame.
It’s enough to make a woman bake her troubles away, dreaming of Parisian delicacies while she makes bread at her mother’s struggling boulangerie. That is until Tessa’s mortal enemy—deliciously handsome (if arrogant) chef Leo Castorini, who owns the restaurant next door—proposes a business plan…to get married.
Leo knows that the Castorinis and the Montgomerys hate each other, but marriage might just force these stubborn families to work together and blend their businesses for success. The deal is simple: Tessa and Leo marry, live together for six months, and then go their separate ways. Easy peasy.

Forcing a pretty internet sensation to work with a no-nonsense former rodeo star to plan a grand re-opening event is a recipe for disaster.
Kelsey’s party girl experience makes her the perfect choice to plan the big grand re-opening party for the Twisted Rivers Ranch. She’s up for the challenge, but she might need some help to navigate the local Rocky Ridge scene.
Tanner’s background as a rodeo star does not in any way make him even a mediocre choice to help Kelsey pull the party details together. But as the new ranch manager of Twisted Rivers Ranch, he can’t very well tell his boss’s sister to figure it out on her own.
As the two starts to work together, sparks fly. Kelsey has grand ideas that might work in Hollywood, but Montana folks don’t go in for the glitz and glamor. And Tanner won’t tolerate her flighty approach to planning.

Addie Byler may be Apple Creek’s resident wallflower, but she knows she has a lot to offer—and much to be grateful for. Raised by her loving grandmother, she lives a life filled with good friends and hard work. Wary of romance, Addie assumes no man will look beyond her glasses and her tendency to talk to her rescue donkey, Snickers—until the day she finds a note from a secret admirer. A prank, most likely. But then, a second note arrives . . .
It’s not that Daniel Miller doesn’t like Addie; he just doesn’t want to court her. She’s too willful, too chatty, too odd. Yet when he learns she’s been teased because she’s never had a beau, he decides to send a little note of encouragement. One note leads to another. And when Addie begins replying with thoughtful messages of her own, he’s struck by her sweetness and warmth.
As chilly winter melts into spring, what began as a gesture of sympathy becomes something much deeper. Daniel fears revealing the truth, but with courage, faith—and a helping hand from their close-knit community—Apple Creek’s most unlikely couple may find their path to happiness . . .

He needs a fake fiancée. She finds him irresistible. But soon, she’s falling for him and his hometown.
Drew Ludington left town in shame almost a year ago. He vowed never to return. But his mother needs him back, and even after all that happened, family is important. He will only come back under one condition, though. His business partner has to come with him.
Carly Dubrow owes Drew a lot. He fell into her life almost a year ago when he needed a room at her small-town inn. After only a couple of nights, he offered to help her with her business in exchange for free room and board, and in a short time, he’d pulled her business out of the red. When he asks for a huge favor, she readily agrees, and she’s especially excited to hear he wants her to play his fiancée for the weekend. She’s had a months-long crush on this cowboy, so spending time around him sounds great.
As they get to know Drew’s family, though, Carly starts to feel a little guilty. She doesn’t want to deceive the wonderful people she’s meeting, but it’s clear Drew needs her. It’s very possible she’s falling for the town of Cupid Ridge as much as she’s fallen for its former resident.
