The single mom-to-be hates this place, steeped in reminders of the past she's still trying to leave behind. She’ll sell her share now and ensure a comfortable future for her unborn child.

Except Josh can’t afford to buy her out. Reluctantly, the handsome cowboy agrees to sell the entire operation and split the proceeds. Josh – and his young son – will have to start over. But as Dee warms to their friendship, something sparks. And Josh begins to wonder if maybe they should keep it all in the family.

A ranch for the runaway bride

Weeks before her wedding, Emily Weber walks away from her planned society shindig and her cheating fiance-straight to her cousin's New Mexico ranch. Everyone's advice: Emily's got to work it out of her system, and her childhood acquaintance-all six feet of dark good looks-is just the guy to help.

Colin Talbot recognises someone on the run from their life. Hell, the rootless photojournalist hasn't been on his ranch in years, till now. But he's not about to indulge in a promise of pleasure, not with a potential for disaster. Emily still wants marriage and babies; he can't wait to bolt. So he'll keep his distance before she has him wanting what he can't have: a family and a forever love.

Besides, there was no way she was ever going to let sexy Eli back in her heart...Out of all the mistakes Eli made growing up, walking away from Tess was the one he regretted most. But the feisty, take-care-of-business woman she'd become--and the lonely children she was struggling to raise--was making the idea of home and family irresistible."--P. [4] of cover.
