Marie Johnston

She arrests bad boys, she doesn’t date them.

Farah loves her job as a deputy, but her income also supports her family’s ranch. Her mom’s recovering from a stroke and her dad’s struggling to accomplish everything the ranch requires. It’s a rat race that she’s losing, but her job is keeping them afloat.

Jesse planned to visit his sister and sneak out of town before anyone knew he was there. But on his way out of city limits, he stops to help a stranded motorist and has a run-in with a cute deputy. The only problem is, he knows Farah from his time in jail, when he was on the wrong side of the cell door.

When an accident strands Jesse at the ranch next door to Farah, he does everything he can to prove that he’s a changed man. But Farah can’t risk her career falling for a felon, and when something happens to cast suspicion on Jesse, she has to put her attraction aside and do her job. Even if it costs her a future with the reformed bad boy.

Part Time Cowboys

Rancher in Training

After a bad break-up, the last guy Brigit wants to help her move is the high school sweetheart that she left behind.

Full-time fireman and part-time rancher Caleb is living the bachelor’s dream and staying rent-free in his best friend’s place. Too bad it’s because he lost his house to a tornado and his best friend’s sister is the one that got away. At least she doesn’t visit often. The last thing he needs is to show her she was right about him, that he’s going nowhere fast. But when her cheating fiancé kicks her out, she has no place to go except her brother’s suddenly too-crowded ranch house.

After a streak of bad decisions, Brigit has to slink back home to nurse her wounds and find a job. To complete her humiliation, there’s no way she can avoid the first love she walked away from years ago because he’s sleeping on the other side of her wall. At least it’s only a matter of time before she’s gone again. After all, there’s nothing in this town for her but bullies and cow patties. Except a fireman in cowboy boots who melts her heart and makes her consider love again.

Red Hot Rancher

She's falling for her best friend's ex.

Justin used to rule the boardroom, now he rules his own little plot of land, or he could if he wasn't a single dad with a newborn. The doctor who delivered his son is an old friend and he calls in an SOS. But the longer she's around, the harder it is to ignore that a stunning intellect isn't her only appeal.

It was supposed to be two friends getting through a baby's colic together. Only Priya has harboured way more than friendly feelings for Justin for years. But she's struggling to keep her thoughts platonic around the scruffy, rugged rancher.

Justin's sworn off women and refuses to change for anyone. Priya's fighting to save her job and won't be second rate to anyone. So why not a friends with benefits arrangement? Then no one will get their heart broken…

White Collar Rancher

She moved back home to simplify life but ended up pretending to date the rancher next door.

Two years ago, Lucas’s high-school sweetheart divorced him, claiming he was unreliable, disappointing, and a failure. He hasn’t looked at another woman since. A failing farm and an ailing dad are all he has time for. But when the neighbour girl moves back next door, he can’t help but notice she’s not a scrawny kid anymore. And she's single. And ignoring him.

Seven years ago, Trina’s boyfriend left her, leaving her to raise their son and no child support to help. So when she’s late for the interview of a lifetime and the childhood friend who abandoned her long ago offers to cover, she can’t afford to say no. The proposal is clear. If she pretends to date him, she’ll get the job she needs with his aunt so she can afford to get her degree.

They both know the deal. It should be no problem. But the more Lucas learns about Trina’s plans and ambitions, the more he knows his ex-wife was right, that he has nothing to offer. Yet the bigger the glimpse Trina gets into Lucas’s lonely life, the more she wants to be a part of it, even at the risk of her own damaged heart. These old friends have so much more to risk the second time around, but the temptation next door has never looked so good.
