Tucker Springs

After years of saving every penny, Nathan has finally managed to buy Tsarina, the horse of his dreams, and he's looking forward to a summer of exploring the mountains above Tucker Springs with her. But on their very first ride, a motorcyclist makes a wrong turn, scaring the mare into bolting and leaving Nathan with a broken leg, a broken hand, and a ruined summer. Ryan is a loner and a nomad, content with working odd jobs before moving on to the next town. Feeling guilty for causing the accident that leaves Nathan in two casts, Ryan offers to keep Tsarina exercised until Nathan heals. A tentative friendship forms, and a strong attraction grows. Nathan doesn't want feelings getting involved, though. Not after a couple of nasty breakups and especially knowing that Ryan doesn't stay in one place-or relationship-for long. It's only a matter of time before Ryan drifts out of Tucker Springs and out of Nathan's world. But since when do feelings ever listen to reason? Now it's Nathan who's about to shy away, unless Ryan can ease his fears...assuming Ryan doesn't bolt first. This previously published book is #6 in the Tucker Springs series, and can be read as a standalone.

After their umpteenth breakup, Brad Sweeney and Jeff Hayden are living apart and starting over from scratch. The morning after a promising first date, they're more optimistic than ever that they can make it work this time. Until Jeff's ex-wife and business partner calls to announce she's pregnant… with Jeff's baby. Brad's already competing with a demanding business for Jeff's time. Now there's a baby on the way, and worse, he's afraid Jeff is still carrying a torch for the woman who's carrying his child. Jeff is desperately trying to keep everything in his life together, but before he can even get his head around the news that he's going to be a father, his ex announces she wants to leave Tucker Springs. Now he has to either take over her role at the shop while ferrying the baby back and forth from Denver, or move the business-and himself-with her. Brad and Jeff knew reconciliation wouldn't be easy, but they're rapidly running out of room for compromise. And sooner or later, something has to give. This previously published book is #7 in the Tucker Springs series, and can be read as a standalone.
