What she didn’t know was that she had become a pawn in a cruel and manipulative game that would spin her life painfully off course.
Now happily married to a man who loves her unconditionally, Carol is finally ready to share her painful past, but will she be believed? And can she be forgiven when she faces two of Marietta’s most powerful, tight-knit families?

She has her eye on the prize. He has his eyes on her.
Former soldier, now rodeo cowboy, Huck Jones doesn’t believe in love or marriage. Still, a promise is a promise, and he’s prepared to honor his fallen team leader’s wish to walk his sister down the aisle in Marietta, Montana. When the groom bolts moments before the ceremony, Huck offers himself as her alternative groom.
Barrel racer Willow McBride hates the cowboy code, and the soldier code is even more annoying. She’s pregnant, not helpless, so when her late brother’s sexy friend offers himself as a sacrificial husband, the answer is a resounding no. She wants love, not duty. Plus, the 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo is looking to be her last as a competitor, and she intends to win.
Huck may no longer be a soldier, but he still believes no man—or woman—should be left behind. He’ll need to woo the beautiful, stubbornly independent cowgirl and change her mind. Failure is never an option.

Widower single dad Jack isn’t interested in dating. His life is his daughter and the ranch. There’s no room for anything—or anyone—else. When he’s unwittingly caught in the middle of a setup, he can’t be rude, but he doesn’t have to give in.

WANTED: Nanny who will put up with an infuriatingly grumpy Irish billionaire.
If you throw an Irish billionaire out of a plane at 40,000 feet, would he fly? That’s the question I asked myself when Declan Bryne basically told me that it’d be “grand if I could stop talking.”
I can’t help it. I’m a nervous flyer. But that should’ve been my sign to hit EJECT! Because this is doomed to fail.
He’s a total grump. He obviously doesn’t like me. He’s too distractingly gorgeous to be around for any length of time. And he’s made it clear that as soon as he can find another nanny, I’m gone.
But this Minnesota girl is made of tough stuff. I know I can make it through one Irish summer with one sexy Irish curmudgeon.
At least, I thought I could until he became that much harder to resist. The way he is around his niece, Catie, is Hallmark-worthy. The more I work for Declan, the more I realize there’s something growing between us…an attraction that’s impossible to resist. Declan hides a kind heart behind his stormy, gruff demeanor. And that accent. That suave Irish brogue makes my insides melt.
The cardinal rule of being a nanny is to not get involved with the family. To maintain a professional distance. Sleeping with Declan would definitely cross that line.
Some rules are meant to be kept. Others are meant to be shattered.

When the friend you have a crush on gets dumped, you step up to help. Even if that means pretending to date her to make her ex jealous enough to come back.
Bo’s best friend is suddenly single. He’s happy about that – her ex-boyfriend was a jerk. And now that she’s gotten rid of that dead weight, maybe he’ll have a chance. He’s had feelings for her too long to say.
Gabrielle is broken-hearted. She thought the guy who just walked away from their three-year relationship was the one she’d marry. As embarrassing as it was, she’d take him back right this minute if he walked in the door and wanted to try again.
When Bo sees how down Gabby is, he suggests that they become a fake couple. Maybe her ex will realize what he’s lost and come back. But Bo secretly hopes Gabby will realize that they’re better together than she ever was with her ex.
As their fake relationship unfolds, Bo loves her more. And just when it looks like Gabby may be falling for him, too, their plan works, and her ex decides he wants her back.
