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.
As Kelsey develops feelings for Tanner, she questions everything she’s come to believe. And to make everything even worse, she’s fallen in love with his nephew, who he now has full custody of.
Tanner feels the attraction, but Kelsey is a risk he can’t take. He’s changed everything in his life to be a father to his nephew. He’ll do anything to protect his nephew from more turmoil… even breaking Kelsey’s heart.

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.

I have a confession. I hate bachelorette parties. A night of dick straws, awkward dancing, and being told “it’ll be you soon, Kaitlyn!” Especially when it’s at a super swanky Miami club—exactly where I don’t belong. Couldn’t get any worse, right?
Enter Mr. Tall, Dark, and I-didn’t-know-they-made-people-this-gorgeous. Grump supreme. His scowl has a scowl. Especially after I knock a drink onto a VIP and myself. He must be the manager of the club because he has keys to the penthouse above it. A penthouse he offers to let me change clothes in. A penthouse we screw all over. Then, he gets a call and kicks me out. Jerk. Told you it got worse.
Ready for worse? The first day at my new job as a nanny and Mr. Scowl is my boss. James Morris. Billionaire club owner, deal maker, and first-grade bosshole—if the tabloids are to be believed. Also a single dad to an adorable daughter who needs my help.
But there’s no way I can take this job—every time I look at him, I’m back in that penthouse. And from the way he smiles when he looks at me, he’s thinking the same. Then he tells me why this has to work. Why he needs me. Why I can’t say no.
New confession? I hate my boss.
