The Rancher’s Christmas bride<\/a><\/h1>

Willow Weston, a well-known artist, is working on an upcoming exhibition in Seattle when her brother Hayden puts Hunter Grant in charge of managing The Weston Ranch.<\/p>

She\u2019s seen the big cowboy with the killer smile around town but so far has managed to ignore the instant tug at her heart when he\u2019s around. But now he\u2019s living on their ranch and is constantly getting in her way, even intruding when she\u2019s swimming naked in her favorite private<\/span> hot spring.<\/p>

Like her grandmother, Willow is fey as her mother calls it. She knows when something is wrong and she experiences the feelings of those she loves. She\u2019s made peace with the fact that she\u2019ll never have a family or even consider marriage, but when she and Hunter ended up being fake-engaged, things get complicated. Apart from the fact that she doesn\u2019t want the responsibility of one more person\u2019s feelings to consider, Hunter has made it clear he\u2019s only on the Weston Ranch temporarily. There\u2019s a family ranch waiting for him in Colorado.<\/p>

There\u2019s no way they can be together forever, is there?<\/p>

Cooper Weston is known as the horse whisperer. He prefers animals to people and loves working with skittish and abused horses on his family\u2019s vast ranch. Women love him, and he enjoys them, but he\u2019s yet to meet one who\u2019s interested in anything besides fashion, social media, and taking pictures of everything.<\/p>

A Family with the cowboy<\/a>\u00a0<\/h1>

Widowed rancher Hayden Weston knows what it means to be responsible for his siblings, his eight-year-old son, and the running of the huge family cattle ranch. Some even call him a stern and grumpy taskmaster and they\u2019re not exactly wrong. So when Hayden discovers his son reading a storybook instead of doing chores, he calls on Luke\u2019s teacher to talk about priorities.<\/p>

School teacher Laura Anderson is new to Marietta, Montana, and has never\u2014until now\u2014been reprimanded for encouraging a child to read. It doesn\u2019t help that sweet Luke\u2019s father is the handsome cowboy with the amber eyes that she met in Grey\u2019s Saloon, or that she\u2019s wildly attracted to him.<\/p>

Sparks keep flying as their paths keep crossing, but Hayden is determined not to give in to his incomprehensible need to have, hold, and protect Laura from any type of harm. He\u2019s the one who\u2019ll hurt her if he lets her stray too close. He\u2019s not ready to admit his feelings or commit to sharing his life with her.<\/p>

Single mom Riley O\u2019Sullivan isn\u2019t one to complain, but with her closest family members now settled in Marietta, Montana, while she still calls Portland home, finding good help isn\u2019t as easy as it used to be. With Christmas approaching, Riley and her young son Dylan are excited to be in Marietta with family for the holidays; but she certainly doesn\u2019t need maddening Mitch Miller coming to her rescue, awakening her senses, or making Dylan ask questions about what dads do.<\/p>

Mitch Miller left his successful financial career behind him when he moved to Marietta with his two sisters. He\u2019s not looking for love, but Riley captivates him like no other woman ever has. She thinks he\u2019s an overprotective grinch\u2013with good cause\u2013but it\u2019s clear to everyone Riley and Dylan could use a little Christmas magic and he\u2019s willing to help. It\u2019s not as if he\u2019s offering his heart.<\/p>

Perhaps all it will take to bring them together is the Christmas wish from one special little boy.<\/p>

\"\"A Match Made in Montana<\/a><\/h1>

She\u2019s never forgotten the way the sun lit up Copper Mountain\u2026<\/p>

Marketing whiz Craig O\u2019Sullivan is wedded to his work in Portland, but with the cousin he sees as a brother getting married soon, he heads to Marietta for a two-week vacation. As long as his beloved Aunt Janice doesn’t decide to play matchmaker on his behalf he’ll be fine. But when Janice sets him up to help sweet Annie Miller market her B&B, he doesn’t mind at all. There’s something about Annie that makes him want to sell her on the idea of happily ever after. With him.<\/p>

Vivian has a soft spot for children and hurries to help, only to find the \u201cgodson\u201d is an opinionated, rude journalist with no visible injury to his foot.<\/p>

Vivian has no time for journalists, even the drop-dead gorgeous kind. Aiden isn\u2019t in town for long, but he quickly becomes involved in the lovely doctor\u2019s problems, something he\u2019s sworn will never happen again.

Adoring Stacey<\/a>\u00a0<\/h1>

Stacey Lawrence is happily single even though the folks in Alisson, Montana seemed bent on getting her the last thing she wanted: a husband. And babies? The mere thought has her shuddering, and that is not because of the cold Montana winters. If she can now only stay away from the very sexy ex-FBI agent turned self-defense instructor, Jason Coleman until her dopamine and norepinephrine levels have settled, she\u2019ll be able to continue her happy single life as the computer whizz in town. But when Eleanor Johnson needs Stacey\u2019s help with the upcoming bachelor auction, avoiding Jason becomes a problem. Turns out, he\u2019s going to be one of the bachelors.<\/p>

Since the moment his eyes met Stacey Lawrence\u2019s gorgeous blue ones in one of his self-defense classes, Jason knows she\u2019s trouble. He likes women but he\u2019s not interested in anything more permanent than a few dates. Avoiding her isn\u2019t initially a problem. Turns out, the lady is also trying to avoid him. But when he\u2019s roped in to take part in the ridiculous bachelor\u2019s auction, he ends up spending more time with the elusive Stacey until he forgets why he wanted to avoid her in the first place.<\/p>

Too old to play games, Jason suggests they spend time together but Stacey seems convinced that they\u2019re attraction is just biology. Is she right or are his feelings for the redhead much more than a mere chemical reaction?<\/p>

When a creepy gallery manager makes her life unpleasant, Gavin wants to take control of the situation and red lights flicker.

A hardcore Science Fiction writer and a softhearted romance novelist clash on the sunny South African coast…<\/p>\n
