Welcome to the Family.
Take a Chance
Book 1
To say Mal Trevino is down on his luck might be an understatement. Out of work and the sole parent of his young son, he’ll do whatever it takes to get back on his feet again. But his luck seems to finally be turning when he applies for, and lands, a job at Blue Creek Ranch. The Harringtons seem too good to be true but he’s not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. He takes all that they offer and works hard, while also trying to avoid getting too attached. Mal knows all too well that the good things in life can be taken in a blink.
Crew Harrington’s mission in life is to keep his family ranch thriving. Hiring Mal quickly proves to be a good decision. Mal is competent, capable, and shows a lot of talent. The only downside? That’s Crew’s kryptonite. Getting involved with an employee is a recipe for disaster. But there’s no denying the chemistry between the two men. All they have to do is figure out how to make it work.
It starts out as a bit of a rough ride. Crew’s missteps reinforce Mal’s walls. But as the days pass and the more time they spend together, the harder it is for them to stay away from each other. As Crew and Mal learn to communicate, and let each other in, love isn’t far behind. All Crew wants is for Mal to take a chance; on him, on their future, and on happily ever after.
Earn his Trust
Book 2
Despite his young age, Hawk Harrington is one of the top horse trainers in the west. His methods are sound and he consistently produces quality horses. Taking on a demanding client is nothing new and Hawk is used to the type who thinks throwing money around will get them whatever they want. He has loftier goals in mind and with his eyes on making his training program even better, he’ll deal with self-important people.
Carter Cahill has money to burn and he’s not above using it to get what he wants. Now that he’s in a new stage of life, and looking for a brand new adventure, he contracts with Hawk to first find and then train him the perfect horse. While Hawk’s age comes as a surprise, it’s the man’s prickly attitude that puts Carter on the defensive. The men butt heads from the start and it seems their working relationship will be strained.
Hawk’s past colors his perception of Carter and it doesn’t help that Carter enjoys pushing the younger man’s buttons. But the more time they spend together, and learn about each other, the more apparent their attraction becomes. Communication between them isn’t always easy, but slowly and surely, they find their way from adversaries to friends to, most importantly, lovers.
Even though Hawk can be as skittish as some of the horses he trains, Carter works hard to earn his trust. But what he really wants is to earn Hawk’s heart.
Mend a Heart
Book 3
Coming May 2026!
Emery Harrington has focused on his goals of first becoming a family medicine doctor and then returning home to Colorado, his family’s ranch, and working at the family care clinic in town. With that dream realized, he turns his attention to being the best doctor he can be. But then his sometimes, occasional friend-with-benefits shows up.
Ville Aalto left his family behind and forged a new path. As the head of security for a superstar country music artist, he’s not only found his purpose, but his place in the world. Heading to Blue Creek Ranch to shore up security is a no-brainer; not only did his best friend and boss ask him to, but he’ll be able to see Emery again. Their time together in the past has been brief and sporadic, but always explosive and worth every second.
What neither man expects is the feelings that grow when they get to spend more than a few hours together. With a wedding, a medical emergency, and the superstar’s impending visit on the horizon, Emery and Ville not only carve out time for each other, but lean on each other. Emery has it all. Ville has everything he’s ever wanted. They both know it’s temporary, and it can’t be more. But when it comes time to say goodbye, neither man is ready to let go.
Mending hearts is harder than breaking them, but Emery and Ville are willing to do whatever it takes to get their happily ever after.
