Kidnapping Kalli by Cheryl Pierson
Texas Ranger Shiloh Barrett loses his hotheaded older brother to a gunfight over a hand of cards. Now the “winner”—a wealthy landowner who’s coveted the Barrett homestead—finally has what he wants. But could there be something Seamus O’Connor desires more than the Barretts’ land?
O’Connor has not seen his beautiful daughter, Kalli, for thirteen years. He knows that she’s living with her mother’s Cherokee people in northeastern Indian Territory. Determined to have her kidnapped and brought to him, Seamus uses the deed he holds to the Barrett homestead to get what he wants. Even though it goes against everything Shiloh Barrett believes is right, O’Connor’s blackmail cannot be ignored.
But beautiful Kalliroe White Dove O’Connor has some tricks up her sleeve as the handsome ex-ranger spirits her away into the nearby San Bois Mountains. The tables turn when Shiloh is bitten by a rattlesnake their first day on the trail. Though Kalli tells herself she has no other choice but to stay with Shiloh—and she does want to reunite with her father—deep down, she knows there is another reason she can’t leave the handsome lawman. Could it be she’s falling in love with him?
In a final showdown with a cutthroat outlaw gang, Shiloh heads straight into the pit of vipers to buy some time for the man he despises—Kalli’s father. No matter how this all plays out, KIDNAPPING KALLI has been the best thing Shiloh Barrett’s ever done—if he only lives to see it through…
Bucking Tradition by Gina Cole
Beth Lanham is a wild child. Aggressive, outlandish , and forward, she tackles life head on – that is, until a sexy bronco rider throws her for a loop. The moment she meets Scott, she is out to knock his socks off , but instead nearly knocks him out. One heated kiss has him falling head over heels (literally) straight into the arena.
Scott McDaniels had never seen anyone so full of life and vitality as Beth was. Kissing her was like holding a live wire in his arms. When they touched, sparks flew! Which is why when he’d asked her out, he was shocked that she had ditched him. He was so close to realizing his goals, that maybe being stood up by her was both a blessing and a curse?
Beth had judged her cowboy based on looks alone , but found that he had so much more to give- if only she’d have bothered to look. Scott finds that behind Beth’s outrageous facade is actually a scared young woman. Could it be that both of them were hiding behind masks of their own making? And that perhaps they were a perfect match after all?

Lady Luck’s Cowboy by Gina Cole
Charlotte “Charlie” English is a woman in a man’s world. As a mechanic, she spends her days slinging grease and torqueing exhaust manifolds. However, when the moment arises, she relishes the chance to dress up and look pretty at every opportunity she can. One night, while working on her project car, she wins a pair of tickets to the rodeo on the radio.
Jack Seguin is a competitive bull rider on the verge of making a life change. He’s tired of the circuit and his body can’t seem to take the abuse that his job provides. When he spots a young woman in the stands, he is struck by her beauty. Before taking his ride, he requests a kiss for good luck, surprising them both. He knows that falling in love, like bull riding, is animalistic. You go with the flow and see where it takes you.
For Charlie, it’s terrifying to let go of control and get carried away by impulse. Could happiness be where you make it? Could ditching the rules bring more joy that she could ever dream possible? Could it take eight seconds to fall in love with her cowboy?

Treasure Darkly by Jordan Elizabeth
Clark Treasure assumes the drink he stole off the captain is absinthe… until the chemicals in the liquid give him the ability to awaken the dead.
A great invention for creating perfect soldiers, yes, but Clark wants to live as a miner, not a slave to the army—or the deceased. On the run, Clark turns to his estranged, mining tycoon father for help. The Treasures welcome Clark with open arms, so he jumps at the chance to help them protect their ranch against Senator Horan, a man who hates anyone more powerful than he.
Sixteen-year-old Amethyst Treasure loathes the idea of spending the summer away from her bustling city life to rot on her father’s ranch, but when a handsome young man shows up claiming to be her secret half-brother, her curiosity is piqued. He’s clever, street smart, and has no qualms jumping into the brawl between the Treasures and Horans. Caught in the middle, Horan kidnaps Amethyst, and all she gets is this lousy bullet through her heart.
When Clark brings her back to life, however, the real action starts, and Amethyst joins him in his fight against the Horan clan—whatever the cost. Defeating the Horans may seem easy at first, but going up against men with the same fighting vengeance as Clark, and a Senator with power he’s obtained by brainwashing the masses?
Well, Amethyst’s boring summer at home has turned into an adventure on the run, chock full of intrigue, danger, love, and a mysterious boy named Clark.
