Zach Reed had two objectives when he joined the CIA team led by Ian and Charlotte Taggart. First, he needed to get close to Cooper McKay. Second, he needed to sideline or dismantle their operation. Getting to know Cooper was even better than he expected, but amongst the team he discovered a family he’d always dreamed of and a woman he wanted to spend his life with. Caught between his mission and his friends, his secrets are exposed, and his only choice is to run. He hopes someday he can make it up to the team and the young woman he’s fallen hopelessly in love with.

Unfortunately, the real bad guys have figured out she is Zach’s weak spot, which makes her a major target.

The last thing I expected when I found the trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…
Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now. A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow. But I became a recluse for a reason. The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me. Only when she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids. That single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed. Now, living under the same roof blurs the lines I’ve drawn. Each glance of her down the hall and I am splintering. Each brush of her hand and I am brought to my knees. Our future—bright, hopeful, and almost within reach—hovers on the edge of becoming real… Until we discover the threat surrounding her is grimmer than either of us imagined. Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…

The fantasies I conjure up in my head were my only solace during the darkest times in my life. I escaped into them and built my dreams within places that only exist in my mind. While I no longer have to hide from my life, I can still get lost in my head.
My past has taught me to keep my distance from most men, not that I was ever interested in them. There’s only one man who ever made me look twice. Ford Conners has the weight of his family legacy on his shoulders, and I can’t help but wonder how long he’ll be able carry it. That’s why I started writing him letters.
‘Dear Cowboy’ is how I greet him in my letters, but I have no idea what to say when we’re face to face. When the world shifts and he sees me, he doesn’t look away. And he starts asking questions while watching me, the pieces of who I am falling into place. I shared my dreams with him without knowing if he would ever become more than a mailbox on a dirt road. He sweeps me off my feet, steals my heart, and offers me wishes like they’re raindrops, but can I trust him?
FORD
I’ve been waiting for something more than the land and my ranch. I’ve been waiting for something special, for a moment that can’t be denied and a feeling of rightness in my gut. It feels like I’ve been waiting my entire life; every time I’m about to give up, or give in, a letter shows up addressed to me.
While I’ve been waiting, I kept myself busy. I’ve grown my family’s ranch with a single-minded focus without realizing how money would infect my family and tear us apart. Now, they’ve left me to take care of the land while they reap the rewards. I can’t help but wonder what is left for me and if what I’m waiting for will ever show up.
Then I cross paths with Arden, and I can’t believe I never noticed her before. Now, she’s all I can see. The more I watch her, the more things click into place. When I figure out why it feels like I know her, it becomes another reason to claim her as mine. She wrote her dreams on my heart and now I’m going to make them her reality.
After the passing of his father Ford has felt alone on the family ranch. The one bright spot are the anonymous letters he has been received however now he is conflicted as when he finally sees Arden he can’t deny his feelings for her but he also believes he is in love with the woman who is writing him letters.
Due to her past Arden isn’t sure if she will ever be able to let a man close so instead she watches Ford from afar and expresses the depth of the emotions she has for him through letters. When the truth is revealed she must decide if she is willing to believe in the love and future they could have together.
The letters that Ford and Arden exchanged were touching and gave them the courage to go after what they wanted which was each other.
Five years ago, Brooks Saxton left me at the altar. Now I’m breaking into his billionaire fortress in the dead of night, desperate enough to steal from the man who once owned my heart.

He thinks I’m a mistake he buried. I know he’s my downfall.
But the man who ruined me still wants me.
And this time, walking away will cost us both everything.

She’s the target in heels. He’s the shield in boots. Together, they’re the last line of defense—and the first spark of something explosive.
Supermodel Indigo Lyric comes to Cupid City to headline the Valentine Lingerie Showcase and reboot her brand with heart-eyed charm, not headline the news with a stalker story. Enter Mack Hawthorne, former Navy SEAL turned elite protector, who believes in three things: plans, protocols, and never, ever falling for the client.
Too bad Cupid City has other plans.
When a bouquet explodes in confetti and shrapnel, Heartline’s Operation Valentine assigns Mack as Indigo’s 24/7 shadow. Cue: a penthouse lockdown with one bed—for insurance photos, sir—fake-date optics to kill a rumor, and a city that insists on kissing booths, heart-shaped everything.
He’s grumpy, growly, and alpha enough to make danger blink first. She’s sunshine with a runway strut and a habit of breaking his rules.
Cupid City rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Cupid City rule #1: Good luck with that.
Operation: Bombshell delivers romcom banter, protector heat, and pulse-pounding suspense, because sometimes the safest place to fall… is straight into your bodyguard’s arms. Happily ever after guaranteed.
After his career as a Navy SEAL ended Mack now works as a bodyguard. His latest assignment is to protect Lyric, a model who has drawn the attention of the wrong person, however with multiple suspects and the very personal feelings he has for her things are about to get muddled.
Indigo is a successful model who has been hurt by those she should have been able to trust. This show is a second chance for her professionally and she isn’t about to be scared away and when the danger comes to a crescendo she knows that she can trust Mack to keep her safe.
Indigo is feisty and independent while Mack is a natural defender. The feelings between them are indisputable and suspense only adds to the story.
Focusing on something just over my shoulder, she slowly nodded. “At one time, yeah, I did. But I’m working to undo it all, little by little.”
“Why did you believe it?” None of this made any sense. She was so strong and self-assured with me, never backing down. I couldn’t imagine her believing any of that, much less listening to someone else say it to her.
She blew out a shaky breath, and I steeled myself for her answer, knowing I wouldn’t like it. “Because when it constantly comes from someone you love and who you think loves you just as much, it becomes your truth.”
Bloodlust pumped through my veins, making me vibrate with unfiltered anger. Someone who said they loved her filled her mind with those lies, which made it worse somehow.
“Who?” I demanded. “Give me a name, and I will rip out their throat so they can’t say that bullsh*t to you or anyone else again.”
“No need to kill someone and end up in prison for the rest of your life on my behalf,” she huffed with a small grin. “But thanks.”
I angled my head to one side and then the other, stretching out the building tension in my neck and shoulders. “Juno, I would gladly die there with a smile on my face if it meant ending the person who made you question the truth of who you are.”
Her eyes widened in obvious shock. Before she could respond, the locker room door flung open.
This is an emotion filled story that is centered around the musical group Fireball and features three characters who have been shaped by the challenges and trauma in their pasts even though their situations are quite different.
