A Present for Parker

By

Parker Stephens is a cowboy looking for a place to call home. His only family has kicked him to the curb, leaving him with his truck and the clothes on his back. He doesn’t even have his dog. So when he shows up at the Vermont home of his friends Skyler and Beckett, he’s got no idea what he’ll do beyond the holidays. For now, he just needs to visit and breathe.

Heath Wooledge is used to being alone, working on his vintage farmhouse, and eating a frozen pizza or two. Since he’s never been invited to his business partner Beckett’s house to eat dinner, it stands to reason they’re asking him for a favor. Luckily for him, when they ask if he’ll let Parker stay at his place because their guest room is a mess, Heath can’t believe his good luck. Parker is a sweetheart of a cowboy, and he’s never been more attracted to anyone in his life.

The two have immediate chemistry, but will magic of snowy holiday Vermont make the two of them accept the gift they’ve been given?

A Present for Parker is an opposites attract, forced proximity, holiday romance between a rodeo cowboy who's ready to retire and a Vermont attorney who thought his only love would be his historic farmhouse.

Cowboy Needed

By

Ichabod Miller Johns needs a cowboy.

When his kids inherit their grandfather's ranch, Ichabod moves them lock, stock, barrel to Western Colorado, leaving the cityscape of Denver behind. Despite this being his deceased husband's family ranch, he knows he has to take this chance to get his teenager away from the bad stuff he's involved in and give himself some breathing space to work at his hardcore pottery business. It can't hurt the other two kids either. Except that he's now living on a run-down ranch that no cowboy in the area will touch with a ten-foot pole.

When he calls Cowboy Wanted, he ends up with Ellis McIntyre. Ellis has worked some major ranches and has ridden the rodeo, but he has an ulterior motive when he comes to Ichabod's place. Aside from needing the job, his half-brother Rick has asked him to look into whether or not Ichabod would be willing to sell the ranch, since Rick feels like he should have inherited it from his step-father.

As Ellis gets to know Ichabod and his kids, though, one thing becomes clear to him. This family needs this ranch, and he intends to help them keep it. Can he convince Ichabod he means no harm, and that he has no designs on the ranch for his half-brother? And can Ichabod open up and trust someone else in his life after so much loss?

Cowboy for Sale

Talent agent Cole Bates is on a long hiatus after his best friend, a bull riding champion and his top client, dies following a horrific riding accident. Out of the game, he ignores the first call from current champ Bodie Jimenez. He deletes the second voicemail too, as well as some emails, but stubborn, persistent Bodie doesn’t get the hint.

Bodie Jimenez has a plan. He might be the reigning champ, but he wants to retire in one piece. He’s confident he can bring home another big buckle, but he knows that locking in sponsors and networking is the only way off this ride without a career, or life, ending injury.

Everyone has told Bodie that Cole is the best in the business, and he’s a good guy, as well. So Bodie doesn’t give up until Cole agrees to see him ride.

Cole has every intention of turning Bodie down, but the way the cowboy rides reminds him of everything he loves about the sport. It’s Bodie’s smile that has him taking the job, however, along with the offer to share the fancy suite the league gives Bodie at events.

Can they have it both ways, or will the cowboy and the agent have to give up pleasure to take care of business?

Cowboy for Sale is an opposites attract romance featuring a champion bullrider at the top of his game and a grieving talent agent who's reluctant to get back into it.
