Colton I'd rather do anything than come back to Bent Creek, the town that took everything from me. But I can't ignore a text from my childhood best friend, Sam, asking for help. When I get there, she acts as if everything is fine--work is good and she's dating someone. I'm not about to stick around to watch. I've harbored a crush on her since I was twelve. Until I find out that she really does need help. And my brothers do too. If there’s one thing I’d never do, it’s abandon the people I love when they need me the most. Samantha I don't know what I was thinking, sending that text to Colt. I thought I could handle everything, but I'm in over my head at work. Colt was the only person I could think of that might be able to help. But now he's here, and seeing him again isn't what I expected. He's grown up from that gangly kid I used to hang out with, and it's hard to look away. I can't have those feelings for my best friend, not if I want to keep our friendship. When things get even worse at work, Colt's the one who's there. And spending more time with him is making my attraction to him impossible to ignore.

No one in Bent Creek expected the town's bad boy to fall for the girl-next-door librarian . . . Jackson My life took ten wrong turns when I left Bent Creek. But now I'm back to help my brothers get the one thing that matters most to us--our family's ranch. The plan is simple: fix the place up, pay the taxes, live there for five years, and it's ours. So I move in, ready to set aside my messed up life for something with a purpose. Ready to forget the past with my family and the Nobles and build a life for the future. Yet I didn't expect to end up with the town librarian as a roommate. Emily is quiet and beautiful. But if she's as smart as she seems, she'd know to stay far away from me and my last name. Emily When I get evicted from my apartment, I can either go crawling back to my disapproving dad or sleep in my car. But seeing Jackson Harker back in town reminds me that there's another place I could stay temporarily--his family's abandoned house. Desperate to avoid another night in my car, I sneak into the house--to find Jackson already staying there. I'm not about to stick around, not with his reputation and definitely not with the way I find myself attracted to him, but a spring snowstorm takes the decision out of my hands. It's just one night, on one air mattress. One night turns into two, and then three, and before I know it, I'm finding that so much I'd heard about Jackson Harker is wrong. The longer I stay, the more I fall for him. But the danger that comes with him is real. Marybeth I'm the happiest I've ever been with Gabe. We've moved into a small house together, he's busy with plans to get the family ranch back with his brothers Jackson and Nick, and I've finally decided on a way to get my shop to survive the upcoming summer in our small town. But there's one person who isn't happy with any of it--my brother, Luke. Luke can't set aside the past, and he's convinced the Harkers are back to stir up trouble. When I try to reason with him, he gives me an ultimatum: choose a side. But how can I pick between my family and the man I love? It doesn't matter, though, because Luke chooses for me. He's determined to get the Harkers to leave town, and he doesn't care who stands in his way. This is a story of family, romance, and friendship told through 3 viewpoints--Emily, Jackson, and Marybeth. If you love cowboys, Yellowstone-style drama, big families, small western towns filled with secrets, and sweet romance with a touch of suspense, this book is for you!

The wedding the town of Bent Creek will never forget is secretly a marriage of convenience . . . Ward When my brothers ask me to come home to Bent Creek, I agree without a second thought.

But Violet is as tough as she is beautiful, and she’s not about to cave to my request. Until she finds herself married to me. It’s all business . . . until it’s not. Violet My job—and my family’s welfare—is on the line if I don’t agree to marry Ward Harker. My boss insists that ingratiating myself with the town is the only thing that will stop the eminent domain action against the old Harker property. And what better way to do that than to marry a man whose roots in Bent Creek stretch back generations? So I do it. Then I’ll divorce him as fast as possible once I’ve gotten what I want. But after getting to know him, seeing his protective instinct, accidentally adopting a dog together, and sharing one too many searing kisses, I’m not entirely sure I want this to end. Except that would mean I’d need to trust him. And I’ve never trusted anyone. Marybeth I’ve kept my distance from my brother Luke, especially now that he’s convinced the county to force the sale of my boyfriend’s family’s old ranch. It’s easier to focus my attention on my shop and on my boyfriend Gabe. But when another one of my brothers, Wilder, shows up in town, I’m drawn back into my own family mess. Wilder’s just broken off an engagement, and all I want to do is help him. But when I mistakenly spill Violet’s biggest secret, I realize that Luke was right: I have to choose a side.
