Outlaw Hartes

New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne—and her trademark warmth and charm—returns to the town of Salt River! Single father Matt Harte learned the hard way not to trust women. His wife left him because she couldn't deal with ranch life, so the last thing he wants to do is plan the annual Valentine's Day dance. But his daughter, Lucy, is determined to get him to fall for beautiful vet and recent Salt River transplant Ellie Webster. Ellie knows that Matt doesn't want her in his town, let alone on the too-small dance committee of two. It's not as if she wants to spend all that one-on-one time with the rugged rancher, imagining what it would be like to be his partner—for real...

New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne brings us two stories from her Outlaw Hartes series. These couples may not be looking for love, but they are about to find it!  THE VALENTINE TWO-STEP  He had been bamboozled by women before, but for rancher and single father Matt Harte, this is the last straw! Because of his daughter's shenanigans, he's been roped into planning the annual Valentine's Day dance. And who's his partner on the committee? Beautiful big-city vet and recent Salt River transplant Ellie Webster, the woman he can't take his eyes off—though not for lack of trying!  CASSIDY HARTE AND THE COMEBACK KID  Ten years ago, Cassidy Harte stood at the altar waiting for Zach Slater, but he never showed. So she did the only thing she could—held her head up high and swore off men. Now suddenly Zach's back with an "I'm sorry" on his lips, an explanation she refuses to hear and the vow to make her his once again.
