Wyoming Wildflowers

This is the love story that laid the foundation for all those that came in the bestselling and award-winning Wyoming Wildflowers saga. A love between a cowboy and an unexpected woman. A love at first sight ... Ed Currick's and Donna Roberts' worlds couldn't have been any more different – a rancher from Wyoming and an up-and-coming Broadway musical actress on a national tour. What could have been a momentary encounter sparks desire ... and more. But can there be anything but heartbreak ahead when they have only days before their dreams pull them apart?

She's come home to save her ranch. He's stayed put with hopes for a second chance. Can a sham wedding lead to the real thing? Matty Brennan would do anything to save her family's Wyoming ranch. Even if it means marrying the handsome cowboy who broke her heart six years ago. But when she asks for his hand in temporary matrimony, she never expected her old feelings to rush back in. Dave Currick has loved Matty as long as he can remember. To him that means protecting her, especially from herself. Certain she'll get cold feet before the I-dos, he accepts her off-the-wall marriage proposal, because then she'll have to spend time with him. That doesn't mean he won't negotiate a few items in this crazy engagement. But as their wedding day approaches, Dave is shocked when Matty doesn't back down. And keeping up the charade in front of their unsuspecting family and friends can't help but rekindle their chemistry. When Dave and Matty's secret slips out, can their fake marriage bloom into real love?

When fire ravages Wyoming land, fireweed is among the first plants to return, brightening a blighted area with the joy of its blooms. Small-town lawyer Taylor Anne Larsen faces the challenge of doing the same for the pain-ravaged heart and disbelieving soul of cowboy Cal Ruskoff. Armed with the same grace and grit as the wildflower fireweed, Taylor also has allies - a matchmaking friend, a Wyoming blizzard, high-octane mutual attraction, being snowbound, and a rescue dog who slips past Cal's defenses. Cal might give in to passion temporarily, but from behind the wall he's built around his past and his secrets, he's certain Taylor is all that he can't let himself have. And he'll use all his weapons to keep her out.

Lisa Currick was once as bright and open as the sunny Bur Marigold wildflower of her native Wyoming.

But when the cop arrives in her western hometown determined to take this second chance to resolve the remaining mystery, he discovers the girl he's remembered has become a very different woman. Once open-hearted and delighted to pursue her talents as a jewelry designer, Lisa has put all that aside for a life of routine, order, and discipline. And Shane wants to know why. He can't forget the girl, but he's fascinated by the woman who challenges him to find answers inside himself.

When his Irish eyes are smiling, she's in danger of losing her head...and her heart. Eleanor Thatcher refuses to be charmed by the Irish balladeer she hires to strum up business for her Gloucester, Mass., beach restaurant. She's far too practical for a workplace romance ... or to fall for a fantasy-spinner like Aidan Padraic Cahill McCrea. Yes, she feels his spell, but bitter reality has taught Eleanor that dreamers drift on, leaving heartache. Cahill finds the woman he wants to share his future with in strong-minded, too-serious-for-her-own-good Eleanor. But he must convince her of his staying power. And his time to make her his bride is running out.
