2 primary works
Book 4
Welcome back to West Texas – and the Parker ranch!
Jodie Connelly is resourceful, but her husband, Tate, has her stymied. She just doesn't know what else she can possibly do.
As a lawman, Tate was injured in the line of duty-he got caught in am ambush. Six months later, he's still hurting and badly out of shape.
Tate's unhappy and so is Jodie. But Tate claims to have a solution. Divorce. The trouble is, Jodie can't go along with it. Not when she loves her husband. NOT WHEN SHE'S EXPECTING HIS CHILD.
Jodie wants her baby AND her husband. Maybe some heartfelt Texas meddling can turn his thinking around-once Jodie gets Tate out to the Parker Ranch !
Book 6
That's the philosophy Claire Hannaford always followed. Left in a basket shortly after her birth, Claire's never had a family - and she doesn't think she needs one. Being on her own means she's free to take nursing assignments wherever and whenever she wants.
Her latest assignment brings her to the Parker Ranch to care for ailing Mae Parker, the clan's formidable matriarch. Claire's never seen a family like this one. They all seem to be strong-willed and no-nonsense. And they don't exactly approve of Claire - since Mae went behind their backs to hire her. But one member of the extended family, Tanner - as much an outsider as Claire - stands out.
Before long, Tanner and the rest of the Parkers have Claire wondering if she's been lying to herself all these years.
