Tia and I started a new series! You can expect more found family, but this time with horses, a single dad, and an actual family who seems too good to be true…but isn’t.
There still some angst, and there will be varying degrees of that throughout the series, which we think is going to be 6 books. But you can expect good men falling in love. And horses. And a family dynamic that most would be envious of…even if there are ten siblings.
Blue Creek Ranch is idyllic as it looks. Beautiful land, good morals, and run by a family that is actually as kind and hardworking as they seem. The Harringtons take stewardship of the land, and of people, seriously. This family doesn’t stop at blood. They treat everyone like their own.
Welcome to the Family.
The first book features the second born Harrington son and a man desperate for a new start for him and his child.
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.
How awesome is that cover by Morningstar Ashley? It’s the perfect depiction of Crew and the ranch.
We hope you’ll dive in to the new series with us. We’re especially fond of these characters and the new world we’ve created. Throughout the series, we’ll hit on all our favorite tropes. There will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Take a Chance releases June 26th.
