A riches to rags cowboy. A hardened cowgirl. The gunshot that erases all doubt.

Laura Warner knows nothing but horses. Her entire life has been on a ranch. It’s her love, her dream, and aside from the love of her life, Quentin, it’s the only thing that she ever thinks about. When tragedy strikes at Kelsey Ranch, Laura is left to care for the horses. Years later, when a gunshot blasts only days after she has to make a difficult decision, Laura learns that everything happens for a reason…and it doesn’t always lead to more hardship. But can she convince herself that this is possible?

Grayson Thomas is an out of work lowlife, who just happens to have world class siblings that drag him out of his rut days after he loses everything. When he makes the decision to flee from El Paso to Huttonville, his brothers give him their thumbs up. Grayson has no idea that he’s about to step into the world that he does, and when a gunshot blasts on his second day in Huttonville, he’s left wondering if he should make tire tracks back to El Paso, or stay in Huttonville. When Laura’s face becomes a staple in Grayson’s life, what was once a demon craving becomes a distant memory. What he once worked hard for and lost soon becomes something that he may have again. Things that once brought him to the edges of demise, become obliterated and exist only in random nightmares.

Grayson’s tough exterior is softened through Laura’s honest and thoughtful words, and Laura sees life in a new light, and learns to laugh and have fun again with someone that isn’t family. But is this enough? Can two people who have been through so much, lost everything and worked hard to gain it back, learn to trust enough to let their guard down and see life and love for what it is? And just when they do, someone who has been watching from afar swoops in and threatens to take everything. Can they survive yet another tragedy…and more important, will they have to?

A Town Without Pity

No More Tears

Men are Lisa’s magnets. Kurt is her Kryptonite. Until he discovers the true woman behind the act.

After a failed engagement, Lisa resigns herself to never fall under the spell of another man again. From then on, the ball is always in her court and Lisa calls all the shots. She’s independent, strong-willed, and gets a personal high out of marathoning her way through men. Until one man walks into her life…and for the first time ever, Lisa is speechless.

Kurt relocates to Huttonville to help his brother Grayson out on Kelsey Ranch. After obtaining a college degree in a similar field, Kurt realizes that horses are, in fact, his life. But the other important thing to Kurt is family, which is why he drops everything to help Grayson in his time of need. Kurt, like the other Thomas boys, is a no-nonsense, ‘let’s get the job done’ kind of guy. When he hears about Lisa, his boss’s way too forward best friend, he admittedly distances himself when she comes around the ranch. But he soon realizes that that isn’t necessary, since Kurt is the only man whom she does not try to sink her teeth into.

Until one day when Kurt just can’t stand to watch her scurry away, and he confronts her. What he finds out, within days, changes his life. Lisa is unlike any other woman Kurt has ever known. But she leaves out one very important detail. That secret is what nearly kills her days later. Once Kurt learns the truth about Lisa, will he stand by her side, or will he bolt like the man who once left her for the same reason, nearly a decade ago…

A heartbreaking yet heartwarming tale about lost love and finding it again. It’s also about taking the good with the bad in life and in love. Pick up your copy today!

The right man. The wrong time. The lie that can’t outrun the past.

Clint plays a balancing act; he runs his medical practice in Huttonville while helping his sister Laura with the family ranch. He has one major flaw with women: he falls too hard too fast, ultimately driving them away before the real flame actually starts. He’s smart, sexy, hard-working, he’s the perfect eligible bachelor, except for one thing: his heart lives in the past.

Cassie and her daddy collectively run the family business. She’s a genuine hard-core success story, without the silver spoon in her mouth since birth. Her entire life, everything has been put on hold to support her father and his business in Dallas, until he falls ill. His illness could be kept in check, except for one thing: in his mind, he’s not sick. When Cassie takes her nephew for a week while her sister goes on vacation, she brings him to Kelsey Ranch for riding lessons. The sexy Clint gives him his first lesson, while Cassie watches, swooning from the sidelines.

After a brief dating interlude, Clint and Cassie both fall hard and fast for each other. But during her stay in Huttonville, there is double trouble back in Dallas: her daddy collapses and the business ends up on the chopping block. To help save her daddy and the business, Cassie has to make a very difficult decision, making a deal with the devil himself. Cassie has to give up Clint forever, or lose the business, essentially putting the final nail in her daddy’s coffin.

What is a girl to do?

A heartwarming and heartbreaking story about choices and the implications of them. It’s also an important lesson on forgiveness and letting go.
