Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord, help the mister who comes between Texas sisters . . . The Holiday Secret Sisterhood has a strict rule: never poach on another sister’s boyfriend, past or present. Hallie Holiday has no intentions of ever breaking that rule. After watching her big sisters become love-struck fools, men don’t even make the top five of Hallie’s wish list . . . until one night when Jace Carson slips onto the barstool next to her with his sexy lopsided smile and devilish smoky-gray eyes. Suddenly, spending the night in the muscled arms of a hot hometown hero becomes more than a wish. It becomes a steamy reality. Before Hallie can finish shoving that night into her bad-bad-sister vault and throwing away the key, Jace waltzes back into town. Soon Hallie will realize there’s no way to keep a secret from a sister . . . or from your own heart. Jace Carson plans to never step foot in Wilder, Texas, again. After an injury ends his professional football career, he has no desire to witness the townsfolk’s disappointment. Or watch his cousin live happily ever after with the woman Jace had planned to marry. But desire is a funny thing. It can change at the drop of a hat. Or the drop of a pair of lace panties. Getting involved with his ex-girlfriend’s little sister is just plain stupid, especially when Hallie is a tough cowgirl who pulls no punches—literally or figuratively. But there’s something about the way she looks at him that makes him feel like less of a failure. Like he could lasso the big ol’ harvest moon . . . and make a feisty Texas girl’s dreams come true.

Which is why her entire family is pinning their hopes on Liberty to save the Holiday Ranch from foreclosure. How hard can it be given that the owner of the company doing the foreclosing once had a major crush on Liberty? She’ll have him wrapped around her little pinkie in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Or so she thinks until she meets the villain sent to take her family’s home. Liberty is not expecting a sexy ex-rodeo cowboy with soulful brown eyes and a charming smile that can sweep a Texas gal off her boots. Nor is she expecting his smooth-talkin’ ways and devilish dares to have those boots wrapped around his hot body in the time it takes to say “Come here, darlin’.” Jesse James Cates might look like a laidback rodeo cowboy, but his tough childhood has made him a savvy businessman who doesn’t take no for an answer.

The moment he sets eyes on the ebony-haired beauty, he realizes what his life has been missing. Unfortunately, it’s hard to woo a woman into your bed when your half-brother and business partner is foreclosing on her family’s ranch. Now, Jesse has a choice. Tell the truth and lose Libby forever or tell a little white lie and hold onto his feisty firecracker. What harm can come from a little white lie?

Sweetheart Mae Holiday is the oldest of the six Holiday sisters—the one who carries the burden of continuing the family's ranching tradition. Except Sweetie doesn't want to be a rancher. She wants to be the next Dolly Parton. And she's going to achieve her dream come hell or high water...or the inability to sing her songs in front of a crowd. When her daddy suffers a heart attack, she heads home to Wilder. Before she even reaches the edge of town, she's pulled over by a sexy-but-grumpy sheriff who makes it clear she's not welcome. Since before she headed off to Nashville she broke his cousin's heart, she understands why Sheriff Decker Carson has a bone to pick. But no one tells Sweetie what she can and can't do. When she finds out her mama and daddy are losing the ranch, Sweetie decides to put her country music dreams on hold and stay to help save her beloved home—even if she has to take on a stubborn Texas lawman whose sizzling kisses make her start to wonder if she’s been following the wrong dream all along. Decker Carson has had a thing for Sweetie since first seeing her strut around the Holiday Ranch with her golden ponytail swinging and her eyes sparkling like a dew-drenched meadow. But he flat refuses to let his feelings show. Everyone in Wilder knows Sweetie has always been Jace’s girl. Jace is not only Decker’s cousin, but also the one who helped him get through the loss of both his parents. Decker is not about to break the no-kissing-cousin’s-girlfriends rule—even if Sweetie and Jace have been broken up for years. Unfortunately, when a scintillating rumor spreads through town and every cowboy in the county starts showing up on the Holiday’s front porch with flowers and marriage proposals, it’s Decker’s job as sheriff to untangle the mess. Which means spending a lot more time with the one woman he can’t resist . . . and the one girl he wants to make his own.

But because they’ve been enemies since they were five, Noelle fails to see the luvin’ glint in Casey’s eyes. It will take some fake dating, cute rescue pups, and a shocking virgin’s request before these two will hook-up. The townsfolk will exclaim as Noelle and Casey finally unite, “Happily-ever-afters to all and to all a big ol’ Texas goodnight!” Noelle Holiday is aptly named. She loves everything about Christmas—baking, decorating, and handing out cheer to everyone she meets. Spending the holidays in her hometown of Wilder, Texas, is going to make this Christmas even better . . . as long as she can avoid Casey Remington, the arrogant cowboy who bullied her all through school. But avoiding Casey becomes impossible when he shows up at the town bakery where she’s working and video booms her live post for her social media baking page, Holiday Kitchen. The post goes viral and soon #thebakerandthecowboyhero is all people can talk about. If Noelle wants to keep her social media success and realize her dream of owning her own bakery, she has no choice but to convince Casey to be her fake boyfriend. What harm could come from a few kisses beneath the mistletoe? Casey Remington enjoys the simple pleasures in life—ranching, sugary desserts, and warm, welcoming women with no expectations. After his daddy’s failed attempt at marriage, Casey has no desire to get in a serious relationship. But when his carefree, bachelor lifestyle is threatened, he’s forced to take drastic measures. And drastic is the only way to describe fake dating the last woman in the world he’d ever want to date. Noelle Holiday is not warm or welcoming. And talk about expectations, she makes him feel like the worst sort of loser. She’s been the bane of his existence since kindergarten. If she wasn’t throwing pencils at him and scarring him for life, she was tattling on him and getting him in trouble. And as it turns out, she’s still good at getting him in trouble. After only one kiss from her candy-cane red lips, there’s just one thing Casey wants for Christmas . . . to meet a cute little baker’s expectations and become her real-life cowboy hero.

Book excerpt: Cowboy, Cowboy, wherefore art thou Cowboy? A fake marriage between the daughter and son of two archenemies. What could possibly go wrong? Cloe Holiday is practical enough to realize she isn't as pretty and talented as her five sisters and she's content standing in their shadows and cheering them on. Her dreams are small--help children overcome the speech impediments she had to deal with as a child, get an engagement ring from her longtime boyfriend, and have her wedding in the big red barn on her family's Texas ranch. But even small dreams can blow up in your face. Instead of a ring, she gets the boot. And now her family is about to lose everything. Not just their ranch, but also their home and the beloved barn . . . unless Cloe is willing to enter into a wild scheme with the son of her father's archenemy. Rome Remington has always tried to be the responsible, obedient son. After his mama ran off, he helped his father make the Remington Ranch one of the most profitable ranches in Texas. But now he has an opportunity to buy the neighboring ranch and the idea of getting out from under his controlling father's thumb is too good to resist. There's only one problem. The ranch is owned by the Holidays’ ornery grandma who refuses to sell to just anyone—the man must be willing to pay off the family debt and convince one of her granddaughters to marry him. After his first disastrous marriage, Rome swore he'd never get married again . . . but what if this marriage is merely a business transaction? Now all he has to do is convince a Holiday sister. And what better sister than the practical Plain Jane? But as it turns out, there’s nothing plain about Cloe Holiday. Her inner strength, kind heart, and breathtaking kisses will soon have Rome scaling any garden wall to get to his cowgirl Juliet.

When a dastardly villain takes the Holidays' family ranch, no one in Wilder, Texas, suspects that sweet-as-apple-pie Belle Holiday is responsible for the villain's vendetta. Belle is the soft-spoken sister, the one who looks to her assertive twin, Liberty, to make all her decisions. Except now Liberty is getting married and has left Belle without a leader . . . and stuck dealing with the man she’s done wrong. Belle had no plans to hurt the teenage boy who arrived at her front door with a wilted bouquet of wildflowers and his heart in his pretty blue eyes. But there’s no way to explain that to the brooding man who’s now set on making her family’s home his own—even if he doesn’t know one end of a steer from the other. Except it turns out that beneath the grumpy greenhorn is still the kind-hearted boy who will help Belle discover her own strength and make her burn brighter than the hot summer sun. Corbin Whitlock has been harboring a grudge against Belle Holiday and her twin sister since high school and the night they pulled "the switch" on him. Now Corbin won't rest until he's made all the Holidays pay. Taking their ranch seems like fitting revenge—not to mention, he’s always wanted a place to call home. But since Corbin knows nothing about ranching, he has to rely on Belle and her family to teach him. And riding lessons from a sexy country gal who knows how to sit a saddle can make a man forget all about horses and start dreaming about another type of riding. Once in the arms of sweet Belle, vengeance will turn to something else—something that makes Corbin realize home isn’t a place on a map. It’s a place in the heart.
