excerpt

Workaholic Susan Collins wasn't the Gold Buckle Ranch's typical visitor--or camp counselor. The high-powered CEO was more likely to write a check to help disabled children than to teach them arts and crafts. For Susan, it was all business, never personal. So the last thing she expected was a rodeo cowboy to ride into the Gold Buckle and sweep her off her feet.

Clint Scully was more at home dodging bulls in the ring than charming pretty but prickly executives from New York City. But there's a reason they say opposites attract...and sometimes that reason just might be true love!

WHAT A COWBOY WANTS

The Cowboy’s Second Chance by USA TODAY Bestselling Author Christyne Butler

Landon Cartwright was a hero in Maggie Stevens’s eyes. The roving cowboy showed up just in time to rescue the Crescent Moon owner from the men trying to steal her land. But the longer the sexy-as-sin loner stayed—working her ranch and bonding with her daughter—the more Maggie knew she was setting herself up for heartbreak. Because Landon wasn’t a stick-around kind of guy.

The Cowboy and the CEO by Christine Wenger

Workaholic Susan Collins wasn’t the Gold Buckle Ranch’s typical visitor—or camp counselor. The high-powered CEO was more likely to write a check to help children with disabilities than to teach them arts and crafts. For Susan, it was all business, never personal. So the last thing she expected was to fall for sexy rodeo cowboy Clint Scully. But there’s a reason they say opposites attract…

Sara Peterson has room for only one man in her life—her son, Mickey, who hasn’t spoken since a tragic accident. When Mickey enters an equine therapy program, Sara bumps heads with stubborn bull rider Jesse Beaumont.

Jesse’s great at helping the kids around the ranch, but he’s hardly parent material…or so Sara keeps telling herself. Can the single mom build a forever family with her cowboy?

THE RETURN OF THE RODEO COWBOY

HOW TO LASSO A COWBOY
Christine Wenger

Catching herself a cowboy was the last thing on Jenna Reed’s mind…until one moved in with her! Well, technically bull rider Dustin Morgan was staying at her brother’s house for the summer, but so was Jenna. Having her high school crush under the same roof was not the vacation she’d planned. But maybe Jenna’s ready to go after what she wants—and that’s Dustin.

HER COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS WISH
NYT Bestselling Author Cathy McDavid

Nine years ago Ethan Powell left his rodeo career—and Caitlin Carmichael—to join the marines. Now he’s back, but Caitlin isn’t ready to pick up where she and Ethan left off. This time she’s keeping both feet firmly on the ground. So what is it about Ethan and his daredevil ways that makes her want him as her Christmas cowboy—for now and every Christmas to come?

When an injury sends bull rider Reed Beaumont home to Oklahoma to recover, he doesn’t expect to bump into his high school sweetheart, Callie Wainright. She’s been hired to help restore his family ranch, which has been badly mismanaged. And though their attraction still simmers she’s far too busy to spend time on romance!

Reed regrets breaking Callie’s heart by leaving years ago. And their rekindled relationship is the number one reason to remain in Beaumont. But he’s still determined to top the PBR standings, which means returning to the circuit asap. Can this cowboy realize his dream, and still lasso Callie forever?

THE BULL RIDER HEADS HOME

Sergeant Amber Chapman didn't come all the way to Oklahoma City for Luke Beaumont's autograph. His family ranch, a major tourist attraction, is on the auction block. She'd drag the star bull rider back in handcuffs if it meant saving her hometown! But the biggest attraction is Luke himself…even if he's always been out of reach for the girl from the wrong side of town.

Luke can't help himself—he's drawn to the quick-witted and sassy sheriff, even as they track down the cattle rustlers targeting his ranch. Unless he can make Amber see they're perfect for each other, Luke might lose her. If he has his way, they'll be together forever—this cowboy's betting the ranch on it!

The Little Boy Had His Eyes

Cody Masters always believed that nothing could keep him and his high school sweetheart, Laura Duke, apart. Not her parents, not town gossip—not even a jail sentence! But when the cowboy returns home, he finds a new man in Laura's life. Johnny is three-and-a-half-feet tall, adores his pony and stares back at Cody with all-too-familiar blue eyes…

The Mother Had His Heart

Even though Laura insists a quickie marriage produced Johnny, Cody isn't giving up on his dream of their family. The only problem is getting her—and the rest of the town—to trust him again. Besides, Laura is harboring a secret that is keeping them apart, but could also bond them, and little Johnny, forever!

FROM FREE-RANGE COWBOY TO DOWN-HOME DADDY!

When pilot Lisa Phillips was named coguardian of her niece she did everything by the book: clipped her wings, took cooking classes and settled down to be a stand-in mom. But she hadn't planned on playing house with her "frenemy"-free-wheeling rodeo rider and good-time cowboy Brett Sullivan.

Sully stared down one-ton bulls on a daily basis, but a three-year-old girl struck terror into his heart. And so did the type A "Ice Queen" Lisa. She was too tempting...too dangerous. More than anything Sully wanted to melt her heart...and for the first time he wanted what he couldn't have-a real family with her and their little girl.

They'll win your heart in eight seconds!

Catching herself a cowboy was the last thing on Jenna Reed's mind....

Until one moved in with her! Well, technically bull rider Dustin Morgan was staying at her brother's house for the summer—but so was Jenna. Having her high school crush under the same roof was not the way she'd planned on spending her vacation. Especially since Dustin had never, ever so much as flirted with her. But maybe it was time the plain-Jane changed all of that.

On the verge of turning thirty, Jenna knew it was high time to go after what she wanted...and she wanted Dustin. Using a magazine article called "Ten Ways to Seduce a Man," she set out to lasso her cowboy. But what would she do with him once she caught him?

At sixteen, Marigold Sherwood thought she'd love Brian Hawkins forever. Only things didn't turn out the way they planned. Twelve years--and several heartbreaks--later, the burnt-out CEO had come back to Hawk's Lake to figure out her future.

That future didn't include Brian, now an irresistibly attractive and ambitious man who reignited a bittersweet passion. He wanted to pick up where they'd left off...and Mari was ready to put down stakes right there, but Brian longed to escape his small town.

Unless she could convince him that love wasn't a place but a state of heart?

excerpt

Single mother, Beth Conroy, learns that her son Kevin won a week at the Gold Buckle Ranch where he'll be participating in their Wheelchair Rodeo program. Kevin's hero, bull riding champion Jake Dixon, is the man who started the program which gives children in wheelchairs the opportunity to rope and ride and be real cowboys/girls for a week. Jake was a hero to Kevin at a time when he needed one the most, so they pack up and fly to Wyoming.

When Beth and Kevin arrive at the Gold Buckle Ranch, Beth is immediately wary of Jake and his drinking. Beth's late husband was an alcoholic. It was he who drove drunk and crashed into a bridge with Kevin in the car. He died, and Kevin is relegated to a wheelchair, even after several operations. Jake thinks that Beth is too overprotective of Kevin. Beth thinks that Jake ought to stick to what he knows best: riding bulls and running Wheelchair Rodeo. As they get to know one another, Beth discovers that Jake has serious medical problems. If he rides again, he could be permanently injured. When she falls in love with him, she knows it will never work. She can't deal with another person who she loves confined in a wheelchair, especially when he can prevent it. Jake can't give up riding, it's his whole identity, and he's riding for a different goal this time: someone put up a million dollars. Jakes wants the money for Wheelchair Rodeo.

Together they discover that if they both give a little, love will find a way.
