Burned out and divorced from her own ambition, Cassie Doyle signs a Heartland Haven contract and ships herself off to a farm she is wildly unqualified to run. The deal is simple: ninety days to marry her assigned match, or walk away empty-handed. Armed with homesteading books and a closet full of pristine aprons, she figures the hard part will be dealing with the cows.

Garrett Vance is nothing like the husband Cassie pictured. He’s a quiet, hardworking farmer convinced a city girl could never truly want a man like him. While the tension between them builds to a breaking point, Cassie refuses to admit her growing feelings first—she needs to know Garrett is choosing her, not just honoring the contract. But when her old life in the city calls with an irresistible offer, Cassie must decide if she’s going to run when things get complicated, or finally root herself in the life she didn't know she wanted.

Kristina Cartwright wasn’t supposed to survive. The explosion that tore through her barn left her bruised, broken, and pregnant. Someone wanted her silenced. Instead, they gave her the one thing she never knew she needed: a reason to fight.

Peter Lexington has always been the steady heartbeat of the Lexington Steele Band, but when Kristina’s life hangs in the balance, music suddenly means nothing. She’s the girl he let go, the woman he’s never stopped loving—and now, the mother of his child.

With the band’s biggest tour on the line, Peter is forced to choose: the spotlight… or the family he never saw coming.

As threats close in and secrets unravel, Peter and Kristina must risk everything to protect the fragile new life they’ve created. But can love survive the fallout when betrayal is the price of fame?

Wild Betrayal is a tender, slow-burn second-chance romance with a strong heroine, a loyal musician hero, and a cast of meddling family members, high-stakes inheritance drama, and the kind of love that’s worth fighting for.

A secluded horse farm. A raging blizzard. And a stranded country music star who just crashed into her fence.

After her mother's death, Kristina is content hiding from the world on her isolated farm, where the horses are far more reliable than men. But her peaceful solitude shatters when Peter—the playboy lead singer of a famous country band—wrecks his car in a blinding snowstorm. To her, he's just a delusional, stranded driver who can help with the chores; to him, she's a refreshing mystery who doesn't know who he is and couldn't care less.

The problem is, the blizzard outside is nothing compared to the danger closing in. When a hidden killer targets Kristina, Peter realizes the road life he loved means nothing without her. Now, the playboy who never commits is ready to drop his career, his band, and his life to protect the woman who refuses to fall for him.

She buried the memory of their forbidden summer. He's spent ten years becoming the man she needs.

Emma Collins is drowning. At thirty-seven, she's a widowed single mom fighting to save her family's dairy farm with two young daughters, a herd of 180 cows, and equipment held together by prayer and duct tape. The last thing she needs is another complication—especially not the mysterious, bearded stranger who shows up offering to work for next to nothing.

Luke Bennett has loved Emma since he was eight years old. Their one stolen summer together ten years ago should have been his beginning. Instead, it became his obsession. He's spent years working dairy farms, saving every penny, and waiting for his chance. Now that Emma's husband is gone, Luke is back in Springfield—and he's not leaving without the family he's always wanted.

But Emma doesn't recognize the boy who once declared he'd marry her. She only sees a competent, maddeningly patient man who fixes what's broken, cares for her daughters like they're his own, and makes her feel things she thought died with her marriage. Things she's convinced herself were only good because they were forbidden.

When the truth comes out—about Luke's identity, about the daughter who might be his, about the incredible connection that's haunted them both—Emma will have to choose between the safe life she's built and the passionate love she's denied herself for far too long.

He fell first. He fell hardest. And he's not giving up on his family without a fight.

A small-town, second-chance romance featuring a devoted hero who's been celibate for years, a struggling single mom who deserves to be cherished, secret identity drama, and a love worth waiting a decade for.

She has 90 days to save her family's factory. He has no idea she owns it.

Charlotte Hale has never worked a day in her life—until now. Going undercover as "Charlie Morse," a temporary factory worker, she has exactly 90 days to turn the failing Hale Manufacturing profitable or lose half her inheritance forever.

What she doesn't expect is Nate Carver—the gruff, impossibly attractive foreman who sees right through her designer-girl-playing-dress-up act. He's everything she's not: honest, hardworking, and completely unimpressed by privilege. He's also secretly organizing the workers to fight the very management policies she's supposed to defend.

But when Charlotte discovers that Nate's father was killed in a "preventable accident" her own family covered up, everything changes. As equipment mysteriously fails and workers get hurt, she realizes someone is sabotaging the factory from within. Racing against the closure deadline, she must choose between protecting her cover and protecting the people she's grown to love—especially Nate, whose trust she's been betraying from day one.

When her true identity is explosively revealed in federal court, Charlotte loses everything: her disguise, the workers' trust, and Nate's heart. Now she has to prove that the woman who fell in love with him was real—even if everything else was a lie.

Will a billionaire heiress and a union organizer find love across the class divide? Or will the factory—and their hearts—burn down before they get the chance?
