High Country Hawkes

He’s not asking for help and she’s not taking no for an answer in the first book of New York Times bestselling author Barbara Dunlop’s new series, High Country Hawkes. He’d been down for the count but hadn’t counted on her. After an injury destroys his rodeo career, the last thing Dallas Hawkes wants is to train a new ranch hand. Sierra Armstrong has zero experience with ranching—little does Dallas know that she’s secretly been hired to help him work through what he’s lost. As Dallas inducts Sierra into ranch life, her sunshine threatens to crack his grumpy exterior…and maybe even his heart. When he learns the truth, will his pride be trampled, or will Dallas get back up to love again?

A nosy history professor determined to share the truth and a grumpy rancher who wants to protect his family's secrets clash...until their unbridled chemistry changes everything in New York Times bestselling author Barbara Dunlop's next High Country Hawkes story. She's not supposed to get involved...especially not with a cowboy as sexy as him. History professor Ruby Monaco wants to feature the wealthy Colorado ranching dynasty, the Hawkes family, in her new book. Instead, she accidentally crashes a family wedding-and infuriates gorgeous cowboy Austin Hawkes. Now she needs his help to complete her research, and he isn't having any of it. He'd rather the stunning city slicker pack her bags and return to Boston, taking their electric attraction with her. She'll need to earn his trust, even as she tries to resist his touch. But the Hawkes family is hiding some big secrets. Can Ruby tell the whole story without sacrificing Austin's trust...or her heart?
