Ironhorse Keeper

She came to cook. She stayed to heal. She never expected to love again.

Two months after burying her husband, Martha Evans leaves Nashville behind and answers an advertisement for a cook position at a struggling Wyoming cattle ranch. She knows nothing about ranching, but she knows she cannot survive another day surrounded by silence and sympathy.

At Ironhorse Ranch, pregnant Maggie McRae is overwhelmed, the cowhands are surviving on beans and black coffee, and foreman JB Mogg understands loss too well. As Martha turns the ranch kitchen into the heart of their home, she discovers that some wounds heal better under wide open skies.

Ironhorse Healer

He survived the fall. She's the reason he wants to stand back up.

Dr. Cody McRae doesn't have time for anything that isn't the Martha Evans Wellness Center. Between running the ranch clinic and racing an October deadline, the last thing she needs is a billionaire trespasser soaking in her family's sacred hot springs.

Cole Brennan used to be the man who conquered the North Face. Eighteen months after the fall that nearly killed him and did kill his best friend, he can't cross a room without a cane. He came to Wyoming to disappear. He didn't expect to start rebuilding himself around the one woman who refuses to let him hide.

When Daniel McRae offers Cole a trade, his engineering skills for access to the springs, Cody is furious. But as the Wellness Center rises against an impossible deadline and the family closes ranks around the woman at its heart, Cody and Cole find themselves falling for each other one guarded inch at a time.

Ledgers & Lies

The numbers never lie. People do.

Joni Reyes used to be able to smell a lie in a spreadsheet from three desks away. It cost her a career, a name, and any place she could safely call home.

Two years later, she's "June," a feed-store clerk in Elk Fork, Montana, keeping her head down and her bags packed. Then a rancher's credit card gets declined in front of the whole county, and the instinct she swore she'd killed wakes up hungry.

Wade Mercer doesn't know why his family ranch is bleeding money. He only knows it is. What Joni finds in his shoebox of receipts is worse than either of them expects.

Proving it means stepping back into the light, using the name she buried, and trusting a man who has never once given her a reason not to.
