Book 2
Longtime friends who’ve denied their attraction for over a decade give in to their simmering romantic feelings.

Mason Bishop knows that timing is everything. He moves patiently with nerves of steel honed from years of rodeo riding, always waiting for the perfect moment. He’s had years of practice in his personal life, pining over the one woman he could never have. Hallie Campbell: the ex-wife of his ex–best friend.

Hallie is struggling to stay afloat. A single mom and the estate manager of a sprawling equestrian ranch, she’s already got her hands full. Never mind her teenage son, who isolates himself at home, acts out at school, and is hellbent on connecting with his absentee father.

As her coworker on the Wilder Estate, Mason has always been Hallie’s confidante and has always made her feel like she’s enough. Now, for the first time in a long time he makes her feel seen and desired as a woman too.

What Mason and Hallie didn’t anticipate was the fallout of solidifying their relationship. As the two fall into each other’s arms, long-buried truths come to light about Hallie and Mason’s history. Everyone—including Hallie’s son—is embroiled in an emotional reckoning that will leave them unsteady. And when the dust settles, can Mason and Hallie make it through?
Book 1
Opposites become unlikely allies when a desperate cowboy needs to marry in order to save his grandfather’s land.

Hayes Wilder needs to find a wife—pronto. After returning to the small town of Honey Hollow before his grandfather’s death, he’s shocked to learn that the sprawling Wilder Estate was left to him. All Hayes wants is the one thing money can’t buy—more time with his grandfather. Failing that, he’ll do whatever it takes to save his grandfather’s legacy from falling into the wrong hands. Even if it means marrying in order to satisfy the terms of the will.

Catherine Foster, reigning Miss Virginia and former Honey Hollow native (who had a childhood crush on Hayes), is saddled with mountains of medical debt ever since her mother’s death. Running out of time to figure out her next move, Catherine reconnects with Hayes at his grandfather’s funeral.

Hayes and Catherine impulsively strike a bargain: He’ll pay off her debts, but only if they get married. Despite the situation, Hayes and Catherine look forward to getting to know each other as adults—after the wedding. Which is tougher than anticipated when the entire town has eyes on them and his half brother keeps circling the property like a vulture, determined to poke holes in their marriage. Most troubling of all, this pair may have miscalculated how much they have in common—enough for this cowboy to fall in love for real.
