About Bucking Time by Marika Ray & Sylvie Stewart

No woman wants a pity proposal. Just because I’m turning forty, dealing with perimenopause, and recently dumped another loser doesn’t mean I need rescuing—especially not by my best friend.

But when Dallas Gamble blurts out that we’re engaged in a very public attempt at protecting me, there’s not much I can do but play along. Bless his dumb, beautiful heart.

The man has always been impulsive. Protective. Flirty. And able to fill out a pair of Levi’s like nobody’s business. In no time at all, he slides a ring on my finger, moves me into his house, and swears it’s no big deal.

But then things get complicated.

Because suddenly, he’s trying—as in, really trying. And even though every clumsy romantic gesture ends in disaster, it’s getting harder to pretend this isn’t real.

Dallas Gamble was never supposed to be my happily ever after. If we do this, I risk losing my best friend.
And if we don’t… I might lose the great love story I’ve been chasing my whole life.

But I’m starting to think it’s about bucking time we go for it.

Wilde Flame by Kelly Elliott

Lilibeth
When I moved to River Falls, Colorado, falling for the town’s broody, tight-lipped cowboy was not part of the plan. Yet somehow, every run-in with Caden Wilde turns into a battle of sharp words and stolen glances. We argue like we’re at war, but my pulse never gets the memo. He’s stubborn. Infuriating. Impossible. And the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen. When a twist of fate forces us to spend a few days alone together, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Beneath the scowls and sarcasm, I see pieces of the man he tries so hard to hide. There’s just one problem. Caden doesn’t believe in relationships. So, I agree to his rules. A few days. No promises. No expectations. We’ll walk away as friends when it’s over. Simple. Until my heart refuses to play by those rules.

Caden
Two years ago, the woman I planned to marry shattered my future with a single word. Since then, I’ve kept my life simple, my ranch, my routine, and no room for anything that could wreck me again. Then Lilibeth Asher blows into town like a Colorado storm. She’s sunshine where I’m shadows. Hope where I’m hesitant. Too kind, too bright, too tempting for a man who swore he was done believing in forever. From the moment we met, she’s challenged me, pushing my buttons, breaking through my silence, and making me feel things I buried long ago. When a snowstorm traps us together, I convince myself I can handle it. A temporary truce. A few nights in my bed. No strings attached. I’ve survived heartbreak before. I can survive this. But Lilibeth isn’t temporary. She slips past my defenses, tearing down the walls I built piece by piece. And when life throws us a curveball neither of us sees coming, walking away is no longer an option. Now I have a choice to make. Smother this spark before it roars out of control. Or surrender to the wild flame she’s ignited inside me—a fire fierce enough to burn away my past and powerful enough to light the rest of my life.

Unbridled by Ariel Hendrix

She’s a divorced single mom. She has trauma, baggage, and rowdy twin boys. I’m younger than her. A bull rider with a history of leaving before the sun rises.

The age gap, the drama with her ex, the kids—she has a mountain of reasons to choose from for why she doesn’t want me. I try to accept it, but something in her sad green eyes wrecks me.

When her apartment goes up in flames, I offer up my bunkhouse for her to live in, rent-free. Our physical attraction is undeniable. We’re unable to resist the temptation in close quarters.

For the first time ever, I want more. But she doesn’t.

Then her ex proves that abusers never change, and not even her kids are safe with him. I’ll bury him before I watch him hurt anyone else.

Dallas has had enough of violence from men, so when she sees the dark side of me, she has every right to turn tail and run.

The problem is, she’d be taking what’s left of my heart with her.

Untamed by Luna Mason

People call me by different names depending on which version of me they know.

The owner of Sterling ranch. The heir to a mafia empire. The murderer the town wants caged. I have ninety days to prove I didn’t kill the mother of my son or I lose everything. I should be focused on survival.

Instead, I fall for the same girl my best friend does. Lola Jackson. The city girl. My firefly.

I’m the one she runs to when he hurts her and I’m the one who punishes him for it. And I make her my wife so that the Sterling name will keep her protected long after I’m gone. But it was always more than just names on a piece of paper. It’s the one thing that makes me fight harder to stay alive.

When the truth is revealed, it doesn’t just shatter me, it forces me to choose between my empire… or my wife.
But they’ve all forgotten who they’re dealing with.

And now they’re going to learn what happens when a cowboy stops playing nice and a mafia boss goes to war.

But when Jackson sustains a severe head injury that sends him into a coma, years of his memory are gone by the time he wakes. Doctors are confident it will return with time, but Jackson feels like a stranger in his own life. How can he have a wife and children but not know them?

As more time passes, bits and pieces of Jackson’s memories return, and he starts slowly rediscovering his instincts as a husband and dad. And though Jackson and Kate’s love story may need a rewrite, they’ll come to discover this new chapter might just be stronger than all the ones that came before.

Wilde Cowboy by Kelly Elliott

Ladd
As the son of a third-generation cattle rancher, it's expected that I would follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and work the family ranch just as they did. However, that wasn't my dream, and thankfully, my parents stood behind me when I told them I wanted to open a sporting goods store in our hometown of River Falls, Colorado. That's my plan. My endgame, and nothing is going to distract me from that goal. Then, I met Vivianne Pennington. It soon becomes clear to me that Vivianne is now a part of my dreams, and when I bring her home for Christmas, my entire family and the town of River Falls fall head over heels in love with her.

Vivianne
I've gone and found myself in love with a cowboy from a small town in Colorado. When Ladd's mother and father insist that I come and spend Christmas with them on the family's cattle ranch, I'm both excited and nervous. It becomes clear to me that Ladd's family has deep roots in the community and a family bond I've never experienced before. Estranged from my own parents, I long to be a part of the Wilde family and start to see myself living on the ranch and being a part of the community. But I'm keeping a secret from my past. A secret that I'm terrified will destroy the future I envision, and I'm scared to lose the wild cowboy who has stolen my heart.

Gathering Storms by Lex Martin

After losing my apartment and librarian job in the same week, I’ve hit rock bottom. That’s the only reason I consider Jace Walker’s offer to be his toddler’s nanny while he goes on a national tour.

I don’t even like the man. But he recently had a baby he didn’t know about dumped on his doorstep, and for once in his charmed life, he’s as desperate as I am.

The plan seems simple—until his label says only spouses can join the tour. And Jace Walker, it turns out, would rather lose the chance of a lifetime than leave his daughter behind.

So when he asks if I’d consider marrying him, I know exactly what I am: His last resort.

I agree to his four-month marriage, convinced he’ll never tempt me. Besides, he’s too charming, too handsome, too talented to look twice at a bookworm. I have walls up for good reasons.

Except life on the road with this rugged cowboy has other plans—bandmates who resent me, his conniving ex who joins the tour, and a deranged fan who leaves us creepy gifts.

And nothing prepares me for Jace himself. The man underneath the charm. The father who’d give up everything for his daughter. The one who makes me feel things I buried a long time ago—and the storm building between us reminds me exactly why I buried them.

Playing With Fire by Cassie Truett

Maddox Whittaker has stretched himself way too thin. Between running his family’s thousand-head cattle ranch and taking care of younger siblings perfectly capable of fending for themselves, he rarely has time for himself.

Usually, it doesn’t bother him—knowing his late father would be proud of the man he’s become is all of the motivation he needs to keep going most of the time. But when loneliness starts to set in, he ends up on a cam girl site, subscribing to a woman that reminds him of someone he hasn’t been able to get off his mind recently—the local bartender ten years younger than him.

Austin Taylor works behind the only bar in Cedar Creek, desperate to scrape together enough money to escape. At night, she becomes RedRanger, a bratty but confident, anonymous cam girl who takes advantage of men the way they’ve always taken advantage of her. When she gets a new subscriber that drops hundreds a night just to chat, she thinks she’s hit the jackpot. She never expects them to be her best friend’s older brother, a man she’s been crushing on for years.

Realizing they’d be a perfect match in the bedroom, Austin suggests they start something casual, a way to bide time until she saves enough money to leave town. But Maddox doesn’t seem to know what casual means and Austin enjoys his company outside of the bedroom a lot more than she thought she would. When the opportunity to leave finally presents itself, Austin is surprised to find herself hesitating.

Take My Kiss by Brooke Montgomery

I met him at a wedding and his Southern charm quickly swept me off my feet—and into his bed.

The following morning, I bailed before he woke up and never planned to see him again. As a single mom of two, my priorities are my kids, work, and school. Dating isn't even on my radar.

But when a man comes after my son and follows us home, we’re forced into hiding.

Staying at the house of my one-night stand I ghosted over a year ago is the last thing I expect when the door opens, so I do the only rational thing I can think of and pretend I don't remember him.

And I definitely don't anticipate him taking care of me when I get sick, watching my kids, or cooking for us—but he does without hesitation.

It’s impossible not to fall for him, especially when he helps me confront my past.

I'm not the only one at risk for getting attached to him, his family, or small mountain town. My kids adore him and want us to stay, but my life is complicated enough as it is—and it'd never work out.

When I’m sent to Ember Falls to handle a PR nightmare, I have no idea I am creating a crisis of my own. Killian Thorn is everything I know to resist—older, rugged and handsome with mesmerizing green eyes and a wicked smile—which is why instead of running from him, I end up in his bed.

Forced to work together, our stolen kisses are the least of our worries because the scandal on Killian’s ranch continues to grow.

My job is to fix the issue, but our secret is only making it worse.

My best friend convinces me that being with my client isn’t really such a faux pas. In fact, she thinks I should go for it since I’ve always guarded my heart.

West of Forever by Corinne Michaels

Tristan Stone is off limits.

It doesn't matter that the grumpy, single dad did nothing wrong. He's a cowboy and his last name means I'm bound by blood to hate him. My family would never be okay with me having feelings for our enemy.

When he stops―in the pouring rain―because I have a flat tire, the last thing I expect is for him to help me.

I do my best to ignore the water sliding off his hat and how he fills out those jeans. My best, however, is not good enough. Each night I close my eyes and dream of a future we can never have. And after he defends me at the bar and we share one magical dance? It only gets worse.

I know I should forget about him, but when I find him alone one night, I offer up a no-strings attached relationship that we both promise to keep secret. Sidelong glances across property lines morph into clandestine meetings under the stars wrapped up in each other's arms.

It doesn't matter that our families will never approve or that he's told me he can never love again, I crave him.

Soon our no feelings agreement is in tatters, and my heart belongs to that broken cowboy. Will he break it or will he defy them all and choose us instead?

For Cowgirls and Kings by Landyn Hill

Stetson

I am good at being alone-the best really. You don't have to rely on anyone, don't have to apologize when they feel like you've messed up, don't have to forgive them when they inevitably let you down...being alone is better. But I've never really been completely alone; my demons keep me company in the darkest hours of the night. And even though I'm comfortable being alone, I also want to believe bad people get happy endings-the house, the horses, and the man waiting to tie me up when I misbehave. But now that I'm here, surrounded by the eerie silence of my family's deserted ranch, with the weight of miles of fence to fix and the ghosts of my past lurking behind me at every turn, a happy ending feels farther away than ever. I need help, but where do I turn?

Augustus

I'm used to living in the shadows-the shadows of my older brother's expectations, the shadows of my inner demons, and the shadows of her apartment building. But I'm tired of hiding. As a retired bronc rider, it's time to start fresh and Moztecha, Texas feels like just the place to do that. Lucky for me, a desperate yet determined, blonde-haired vixen has a ranch that needs fixing up, and she just stumbled into my path at the local feed store. Just. Like. I. Planned. Every cell in my body screams at me to consume her, devour her, destroy her-and that's exactly what I plan to do. I will gladly burn the world to ash if anything keeps me from her; that includes her own dark demons.

Take My Name by Brooke Montgomery

I fell in love with him when I was only fifteen—tall, handsome, and so damn charming—it was impossible not to. Years later, we got married, and I thought we’d have our perfect happily-ever-after.

But I wanted more than being his wife in a small mountain town, so I chased my dream job seven hundred miles away. I begged him to come with me, but he wouldn't leave his family's ranch. Walking away and letting him go was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced.

But then I meet someone new and he's everything I need—stability, mutual respect, and ambition. He's my second chance at love. When he proposes, it’s a no-brainer to tell him yes. There's just one little problem… I'm still married to my high school sweetheart, who refuses to sign the divorce papers.

Even worse? I never told my fiancé. Now I have to return to Willow Branch Mountain, find my ex, and demand he sign them.

When I show up at his door and he slams it in my face, I know he's not going to make it easy—especially when those old feelings resurface and I’m left making the hardest decision of my life.

Cowboy Casual by Holly Renee

Blaire Monroe is the only woman I've ever loved, and the only one I've let break my heart. It's been ten years since she ran from this town, chasing a life that didn't include the cowboy next door who blurred the line between best friend and something more.

Now she's back. Fresh off a busted engagement and hiding out on her grandmother's crumbling strawberry farm like the past never happened. Like she doesn't still linger in every part of me I've spent years trying to erase.

But Blaire isn't the kind of girl you forget. She's wildfire: reckless, untamed, and impossible to hold without getting scorched. We collide the second we're in the same room. Too much heat. Too much history. Not nearly enough distance. The tension crackles, the pull is impossible, and before long, we're right back where we swore we'd never be pressed against the wall, her hands in my hair, my mouth on hers like I ve been starving for a decade.

I tell myself I can handle it. But the truth is, this cowboy was never meant for casual. Not with her. And sure as hell not again.

Where We Burn by Lea Rose

She was off-limits. Until she wasn’t.

PIPER:

I shouldn’t want him. I shouldn’t lie awake at night imagining how his hands would feel on my skin. But Christian Crawford has been my deepest, darkest fantasy from the moment we met. I’ve tried to bury my feelings for my boyfriend’s dad and pretend that the chemistry between us was one-sided, but every time that cowboy looks at me like I’m already his, I forget who I’m supposed to be loyal to. He’s the one man I should never touch, and I’ve never wanted anyone more.

CHRISTIAN:

She’s the one line I should never even think about crossing. She’s too young, too wrapped in every kind of wrong, and she’s my son’s girlfriend. I told myself it was nothing more than a passing thought, but there’s nothing passing about the way I watch her. There’s nothing innocent about the way I want her. I know touching her would destroy everything. But somewhere between the guilt and the longing, I stopped caring. And now I’m ready to burn it all down for one taste.

Whispers of Helena by Ashley Warren

Helena

Taking the job at Devil’s Ridge Ranch was supposed to be simple: care for a little boy and keep my head down. But the moment I stepped onto this land, I felt the weight of it, the history, the loss, the tension that clings to the air like an approaching storm. And then there’s Silas Hayes. Every glance from him, every brush of his hand, unravels me in ways I haven’t felt in years. Each night he vanishes into the darkness, returning with shadows that only grow deeper in his eyes. It’s clear he’s chasing something, or someone, but whatever it is, it’s destroying him. I came here with my own purpose, one I can’t afford to fail, but Silas makes me want to take risks I can’t explain. And in the quiet moments when the walls between us begin to crumble, I wonder: can I save him before he destroys us both?

Silas

There’s blood on my hands, and most days, I can’t remember if it’s meant to cleanse or curse me. This ranch, this land, it used to be my whole world, but now it’s nothing more than a tether, holding me to a life I can’t let go of. And then Helena walked into it, her gaze cutting through my quiet like a whisper I’m too afraid to hear. There’s something about her, something unsettlingly familiar, as though she knows the weight I carry. When I ride into the darkness, I tell myself I’m seeking justice and retribution. But the deeper I go, the less sure I am of who I’m chasing, or who I’ve become. Helena’s presence feels like a reprieve, a reminder of something pure. What will she see when my demons are laid bare? What will I see?

Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne

It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.

After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.

Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs. Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

Revelry by Lila Dawes

I’ve come home to Reverence bruised, broken and ready to start again. Once the town wild child, now I’m just trying to figure out my life and I can’t afford any distractions. Especially not in the form of my childhood neighbor, chaps-wearing farrier Tate Wilder.

Pricklier than a cactus, he’s still handsome as hell, yet I know that underneath that scowl is someone just as lost as me. So when the stubborn mule enlists me to be his champion of fun, I can’t refuse, not when it would benefit me too.

However my stupid heart still hasn’t learned its lesson and now when Tate’s mouth pulls into that disapproving line, I want to kiss it right off his face.

This was supposed to be just a distraction. I should end things soon before I end up heartbroken, again.

But I was never one for doing the smart thing. After all, where’s the fun in that?

Wrangled Love by Ann Einerson

One minute I’m living a peaceful life at Silver Saddle Ranch and the next, Jensen, my brother’s best friend, returns to town for the summer with his five-year-old son and moves into my guest rooms. Not only are we sharing space, but I’ve agreed to be Caleb’s nanny.

The problem? Jensen’s little boy quickly wins my heart, and his dad isn’t far behind with his big-city charm.

Between a steamy Ferris wheel ride and romantic late-night chats on the porch swing overlooking the Montana skyline, my heart quickly becomes his.

I want to be the place where Jensen lays his hat, but I’m not sure he’s looking to trade his custom Italian suit for dirty cowboy boots.

What happens when the summer’s over, and our time is up…

Love Is a War Song by Danica Nava

Pop singer Avery Fox has become a national joke after posing scantily clad on the cover of Rolling Stone in a feather warbonnet. What was meant to be a statement of her success as a Native American singer has turned her into a social pariah and dubbed her a fake. With threats coming from every direction and her career at a standstill, she escapes to her estranged grandmother Lottie’s ranch in Oklahoma. Living on the rez is new to Avery—not only does she have to work in the blazing summer heat to earn her keep, but the man who runs Lottie’s horse ranch despises her and wants her gone.

Red Fox Ranch has been home to Lucas Iron Eyes since he was sixteen years old. He has lived by three rules to keep himself out of trouble: 1) preserve the culture, 2) respect the horses, and 3) stick to himself. When he is tasked with picking up Lottie’s granddaughter at the bus station, the last person he expected to see is the Avery Fox. Lucas can’t stand what she represents, but when he’s forced to work with her on the ranch, he can’t get her out of his sight—or his head. He reminds himself to keep to his rules, especially after he finds out the ranch is under threat of being shut down.

It’s clear Avery doesn’t belong here, but they form a tentative truce and make a deal: Avery will help raise funds to save the ranch, and in exchange, Lucas will show her what it really means to be an Indian. It’s purely transactional, absolutely no horsing around…but where’s the fun in that?

Single mom Whitney Hart is, quite simply, overwhelmed. She’s struggling to raise her ten-year-old son, Jonas. Her ex-boyfriend only seems to come around and help take care of his son when he’s single and hoping to get back together. With Jonas acting out more than ever, Whit realizes she needs help keeping an eye on him over summer vacation.

Enter Colt, a fun-loving cowboy who is tasked with giving Jonas work to do around Wells Ranch to keep him busy. In Colt, Jonas finds a mentor and male role model for the first time in his life. And in Jonas, Colt discovers a friendship that brings a new kind of joy into his life.

Colt and Whit slowly develop a friendship of their own through a shared concern for Jonas, and over the course of the summer, it begins to spark into something more. The attraction and chemistry between them are hard to ignore, but Whit’s insecurities and hesitancy to trust men cause her to pull away.

As miscommunications give way to understanding, the two will discover that sometimes you have to first be broken before you can become whole, and that there’s no one way to create a family.

Cruelest Contract by Cora Brent

I’ve been given a choice. Either I can marry one of the four fearsome Tempesta brothers… Or I can bury my own troubled twin brother after his latest misdeeds. With almost no family left alive, this is a sacrifice I will make with no hesitation.

As a cruel favor, I’m allowed to choose which of the Tempesta brothers I’ll walk down the aisle with. One week among them is all the time I’m given to make up my mind. Just one week inside their vast ranch fortress in a remote corner of Wyoming to decide which of these intimidating men I’ll agree to marry.

They are all different. All gorgeous and seductive. And all uniquely challenging in their own way. But only one of them stands out and fascinates me to the point of obsession.

Years ago, Julian Tempesta saved my life and now our intense physical attraction is undeniable. Julian, as the charismatic eldest brother, is also the natural leader and protector, not a man who intends to use me and then callously crush my heart to pieces. When Julian says this marriage will be real, I believe him.

I’m in far too deep by the time I understand the truth. I’ve foolishly trapped myself in a devil’s bargain. And now my ‘husband’ will be my undoing…
