Copper Ridge

Sadie Miller isn't expecting any welcome-home parades on her return to Copper Ridge. Least of all from part-time rancher, full-time lawman Eli Garrett. The straitlaced, impossibly hot deputy sheriff glares at her as if she's the same teenage hoodlum who fled town 10 years ago. But running from her demons has brought Sadie full circle, ready to make a commitment at last. Not to a man but to a bed-and-breakfast. On Garrett land. Okay, so her plan has a tiny flaw.

Now here he is, giving flirting tips to the one woman who needs zero help turning him on.

Until one night the squabbling stops...and something far more dangerous takes over.

Ranching heir Colton West knew his wedding would be the talk of the town.

The only thing crazier than honeymooning with Lydia is waking up married to her. So why does he find himself entertaining his new wife's desire to stay married - and fantasizing about a real wedding night?

The man who ruined Rebecca Bear's life just strolled back into it with one heck of an offer. Years ago Gage West's recklessness left Rebecca scarred inside and out.

And when he realized his feelings for Lane Jensen were more than platonic, he shoved that inconvenient desire away. It was easy...until it wasn't. Suddenly his brothers are coming home to claim their share of the property. And Lane is no longer just in his fantasies. She's in his arms, and their friendship is on the line....

Asked where he'd be at this point in life, Cain Donnelly would have said anywhere but Copper Ridge, Oregon, living with his estranged brothers. But since his wife abandoned them, both he and his daughter, Violet, are in need of a fresh start, so he's back to claim his share of the family ranch.

That makes her off-limits...until she offers a no-strings deal that no red-blooded cowboy could resist.

Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's intention. But if there's one thing the ex-military man knows, it's that life rarely unfolds as expected.

Because the girl he vowed to stay away from has become the only woman he needs, and this Christmas could be just the beginning of a lifetime together....
