And when the truth comes out, and the sisters switch back… will Ryker fight for the woman who stole his heart?

Or let her disappear with the deception that brought her to him?

 Disappearing cattle, a secretive lab, and forbidden kisses—a dangerous mix in Mockingbird Hollow!

Az Newcomb’s got enough trouble dealing with cattle vanishing from ranches all over the county—including his own. Things only get worse when the stubborn, beautiful girl he's sworn to protect starts cozying up to a scientist connected to a mysterious local lab. Kissing Mandy Merriweather was never supposed to happen, and now he can't forget it—or her.

Mandy is fed up with Az treating her like a little sister. Determined to shed her innocent reputation as the county’s last virgin, she's eager to explore love on her own terms. But when one heated kiss flips their friendship upside down, Mandy realizes that Az might be the one man she’s been looking for all along.

As Memorial Weekend turns sultry and dangerous, Az and Mandy must navigate secrets, passion, and an unseen threat that could tear them apart forever.

She trusts no one. He wants her trust above all else.

Private investigator Darcy DeAngelo never makes mistakes on the job, only with men. Burned by a manipulative therapist who nearly broke her, she’s learned to keep her heart locked up tighter than her case files. But when a stakeout goes sideways, she ends up trapped with a man who just might be worth the risk.

Therapist Logan Thompson has been waiting for a love that knocks the ground out from under him, and the guarded PI has it written all over her. Protective to the bone and more than willing to put the sharp-tongued beauty over his knee if that’s what it takes, he’s determined to get past her defenses.

Darcy isn’t sure she has any trust left to give—but Logan is ready to prove that real love doesn’t destroy, it heals. Winning her heart may be the most complex case of all…but he’s the only man who won’t let her down.

One fierce woman. One stubborn man. One Thanksgiving that neither will forget.

In the rural heart of the Ozark mountains, the fiercely determined Whitney Johnson will do whatever it takes to keep her little family safe and fed. With their father gone and winter closing in, she’s spent the summer poaching game from the lands of one MacClede “Mac” Wainwright, gardening, fishing, and storing or canning everything she can get her hands on.

Now Thanksgiving is looming, and when Whitney attempts to “borrow” a turkey from the rich surplus of the one man she’s been careful to avoid—the rugged cowboy who owns half the mountain—her luck finally runs out.

Mac Wainwright doesn’t take kindly to thieves… until he discovers the “boy” he caught stealing his prize gobbler is actually a stubborn, beautiful young woman doing her best to protect her brother and sister. When he realizes she plans to stay in their small cabin home until spring, Mac’s protective sense of duty and honor won’t let him leave them to face the brutal winter alone.

His solution is simple—place Whitney under his protection and then marry her. But Whitney isn’t sure she can trust her heart that quickly.

As winter settles over the Ozarks, her father’s return brings whispers of scandal from town—rumors tying her name to Mac’s. But it isn’t gossip that unsettles Whitney the most; it’s knowing Mac isn’t offering just a season; he wants forever—right now. Can she surrender her fierce independence long enough to find out if love is worth the risk? Or let him walk away?

She was desperate to be alone. He invaded her solitude. Christmas cheer doesn’t have a chance.

When a sudden blizzard threatens the cabin community of Montana Hideaways, Sierra Chapin hides under the bed with a spider she names Legs to avoid an enforced evacuation. Her one wish for Christmas is to be entirely alone; the blizzard matches the rage inside her, and she welcomes it.

When resort owner Spenser Walker realizes one young woman is still unaccounted for, he makes the trek back to the Hideaway in full-on Grinch mode to locate her. He finds Sierra holed up on purpose and furious at his invasion of her solitude, but now they’re both snowbound until the roads clear.

Attraction sparks. Secrets simmer. And the more time they spend trapped together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.

But Sierra didn’t plan on company for Christmas—and Spenser didn’t plan on falling for a woman who treats him like an unwanted Christmas present.

Will love need a Christmas miracle to get these two together?

Daniel has been waiting at a distance, hoping Markie will come to her senses and realize she made a mistake. That was a mistake on his part. When news of her engagement reaches him, he returns to Pocono, Idaho, to reclaim the stubborn witch that belongs to him body and soul.

Saving her ranch behind her back is easy, but winning back her trust? That might take a miracle.  

Can a fiery love built on passion survive the ashes… or is it already too late?
