I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I'm not letting it happen again. Now she's home for good, and I'll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

Two pink lines. That’s all it takes to knock me flat. I came back to Black Spruce Ranch with my tail between my legs—no job, no law license, no clue what the hell comes next.

One night with her was supposed to shut off the noise in my head, not tie me to a future I’m scared to want. Now she’s carrying my kid, ...

Her laugh, her curves, the way she makes this house feel like home—living under the same roof makes it impossible to keep my distance. Between our late-night talks, stolen glances, and secret “meetings” at the stables, she’s become more than just the nanny. I’ve fallen all...

Maverick Barnes is a broody, chiseled cowboy built for breaking hearts and riding rough. He’s my best friend’s brother—and the man who shattered me years ago with a single kiss. Now I’m jobless, homeless, and living in his kitchen with nothing but a duffel bag and a pile of old feelings. His reputation is ten feet wide and twice as hard as those biceps flexing beneath his t-shirt. Our accidental reunion is a slow-burning wildfire, fueled by forced proximity and sizzling nights in a too-small house. He grumps. I tease. The tension crackles hotter than a Wyoming sunset. I swore I’d ...
