From New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes the first book in the new Heartstone Ranch series.
Josie Hayes is always on the run. From bad decisions. From heartbreak. From cowboys.
Her latest escape was supposed to be a quiet reset at her family's cabin in Tennessee-not a reckless detour at a smoky backwoods bar, and definitely not a collision with Lincoln Carter. Rugged and magnetic, he's temptation in a cowboy hat, and his slow smile makes forgetting her rules far too easy.
Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. What starts with teasing glances and lingering touches spirals into a night that feels like more-too much more. By sunrise, Josie does what she does best: she bolts, leaving behind only her name and the memory of a man she can't shake.
A year later, Josie's done running. With a steady job, a new boyfriend, and her life finally on track, she's ready to prove she's not the same girl she used to be. Except her father's prestigious summer horse training program just brought a ghost from her past straight to her front door.
Lincoln isn't the forgiving type, and now that he's on the ranch, he's determined to show Josie exactly what she left behind-and what they could have had if she'd stayed.
As old wounds reopen and sparks reignite, Josie must decide: keep running from her past or take a chance on the cowboy who just might be worth staying for.
I have to have her.
I’ve been alone for so long. I never thought I would want to change that.
But when I saw her, I knew she was meant to be mine. And now that her husband is…gone, it’s time to make my move.
I’ve never felt like this about anyone. I want her everything, her body, her mind, her soul.
And I’ll do what it takes to make her my submissive. I’ll keep her safe, forgive her debts, and make everyone who’s ever hurt her pay.
All I need is her name on that dotted line.

Olivia Hart always dreamed of following in her father’s footsteps to become the CEO of Hartstring Records—the massive record label that’s been in her family for generations. Before he died, she vowed she’d do whatever it took to make that dream a reality, regardless of the personal cost.
Now, at thirty-seven, she’s kept her promise. Only, instead of bringing her joy, she finds herself divorced and resenting her position at the top, forced to prioritize her career over her daughter, Charlie. The days are long and the nights are lonely. She finds herself longing for a fraction of the happiness her ex has found after their divorce. When Olivia gets an unexpected call from her brother that their uncle’s health is failing, she seizes the opportunity to step away from the career that has become more of a chore and drops everything to head back to Tennessee and the charming little town she left behind.
It doesn’t take long for Olivia to realize that not everything is the same as it was before she left. Especially not her brother’s best friend.
Duke Bennett was carefree and vibrant the last time she saw him, but now his dark eyes are haunted by something that wasn’t there before. He’s brash, stubborn, and adamantly against her being back in his life for any reason. Unfortunately, his daughter and Olivia’s have become inseparable, and there’s no avoiding each other. What starts as after-school playdates and Saturday morning soccer games reluctantly becomes more. Before she knows it, her brother’s broody best friend becomes the one thing that makes her feel free for the first time in years, giving her hope for something she thought she’d never have.
As Olivia’s time in Pinecrest comes to a close, she is faced with a decision that could wreck her heart either way. Does she walk away from Pinecrest and return to the dream she thought she always wanted, or will she realize that sometimes it’s the legacy you choose that matters the most?

Lennox Hayes has always been a spitfire.
She's got a stubborn streak a mile wide, and big dreams of getting back on the pro rodeo circuit. Until then, she's stuck working the family ranch under the watchful eye of Bishop Bryant-the grumpy, no-nonsense foreman who's made it clear he doesn't have time for her wild ways.
Bishop has spent his life proving himself at Black Springs Ranch. The Hayes family took him in when he had nothing, and he owes them everything, including occasionally keeping an eye on their reckless youngest daughter. But Lennox isn't a little kid anymore. She's a fierce, frustrating woman who knows just how to get under his skin.
They've never gotten along, and they've never tried to. But when they are forced to work together, sparks fly and tempers flare. Beneath the arguments and tension lies something neither of them is ready to admit.
She ran to Montana to save her life.
She never expected to lose her heart.
After witnessing a brutal murder, dancer Delilah Grant has two choices: disappear or die. Armed with a stolen USB and nothing left to lose, she flees to a remote Montana ranch, hiding in plain sight at Weston Whiskey, where hard work and silence are her only shields.
Cole Weston doesn't trust her for a second.
A former bull rider with a permanent scowl and a dark past he doesn't talk about, Cole knows trouble when he sees it―and Delilah is drowning in secrets.
But the longer she stays on his ranch, the harder it becomes to ignore the beautiful little liar. Between glasses of whiskey, seductive dances, and chemistry he can't deny, Cole swears he's not falling for the woman whose taste he can't forget.
Until Delilah's past catches up to her and the truth is far darker than either of them could have imagined.
With the clock ticking and their lives on the line, he'd move heaven and earth to rescue the woman he loves. Because while whiskey might be his family's business, their real legacy is one of bloody vengeance.
The first book in the brand new Weston Brothers series from bestselling author Ava Hunter.
Keeping my heart guarded all my life has never been an issue. Until he saves me in a bar fight.
Charlie Montgomery is one grumpy rancher. Calloused hands, stubborn heart, the definition of a true cowboy.
He dislikes me from the second we meet. Warns me away from his tiny town of Resurrection, Montana. Well, what he doesn’t know is I’m armed with a bucket list and a secret. There’s no way I’m leaving. I’ll just keep my distance.
Only in a small town that distance doesn’t last for long. Because I owe him a favor: Work for him for three months and help him save his home. Runaway Ranch.
But our close confines mean I see what’s under all that strong. I see the real Charlie Montgomery. The man behind the rugged rancher who yells. Beneath his dark beard hides a rare smile. Beneath his mile-wide chest beats a tender heart. One that slowly starts to beat for me.
And instead of running back onto that open road, I run towards Charlie instead.
But a hidden danger is lurking. Someone who doesn't want Charlie to save his ranch. Someone who is out to get us both. And I could lose more than my heart this summer—I could lose my life…
In Rumor, Tennessee, one family sits at the center of every whisper.
The Crowne women have survived decades of salacious gossip. Everyone knows you can count on them for a shot of whiskey and a wild night, but their best kept secret is how they deliver quiet revenge.
I survived a living nightmare. Forced to stay away from my sisters, I’ve been sworn to secrecy about who I am. Somehow, though, I started over again. But all it takes to mess everything up is a sexy stranger—a charming jeweler with a sinful smile, deliciously dirty promises, and far too many questions.
Now, I’m back in my small town, craving routine, hiding my past, and trying not to drown in the pressure to be the old me.
I never expected to see him again. Especially once I discover that the gossip and rumors swirling around my family aren’t the work of bored townies, but of hidden truths.
Between a dead body, a missing cop, and a job that’s connected him to my family, Julian Colton insists on staying here. I should keep my distance—not provoke and flirt with him at every turn. But even with layers of secrets between us, he soothes my anxious thoughts and feeds my touch-starved, broken body.
When his past catches up with him, and mine threatens to repeat itself, it’s my family, their rumors, and our whiskey that’ll save us.
Spicy lessons turn into undeniable chemistry, blurred lines, and broken rules between a reformed cowboy Casanova and the girl he’s secretly pined after for years in this steamy, friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, small-town romance.
I wasn’t expecting to bail my little sister’s best friend out of jail.
But what else could I do? I’ve wanted her for far longer than I care to admit. Too bad she thinks I’m a notorious playboy, leaving me firmly in the friend zone. Not that I didn’t earn that reputation once upon a time, but Birdie is the only one I have eyes for now.
Luck is on my side when, after a few too many shots, the girl of my dreams propositions me. Will I be the first one to take her for a roll in the hay and teach her everything I know?
Getting involved with the woman I’ve been yearning for is a bad idea. But it’s one I plan to take for a ride, especially when Birdie becomes my fake girlfriend with benefits.
This might not be my first rodeo, but agreeing to give her spicy lessons blurs the lines between friendship and what lies beyond. If I’m already bending the rules, I’m determined to lasso her heart.

Now, I’m a single dad with two priorities above everything else: raising my two girls and making great bourbon.
But when Faye Calloway returns after I ran her out of my small town—looking like a fantasy on stage and nothing like the cop she was trained to be—I know for a fact that she’s hiding more secrets than the one she blackmailed me to keep.
While everyone is focused on the teasingly beautiful burlesque dancer, I’m distracted by the woman with a hidden agenda. The smart-mouth, who says what she wants. And the instigator, who prefers a very specific way to drink her bourbon.
But as secrets begin to unravel, I realize she’s fiercely protective of the ones she loves. When she puts herself in danger to right the past, the rules stop mattering.
Only two things have the power to keep my family from falling apart and losing the woman I love—bourbon and secrets.

We had a plan. It was a good one.
Until it wasn’t.
I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn’t going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter.

Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does.

I know what everyone says about me–just an atm where his heart used to be. Which might be true, until I saw her.
I can’t stop fantasizing about my new assistant.
Bright eyed and too young, Reese is not meant for someone like me.
3 reasons why I absolutely cannot fall for her:
1. She knows about my double life as a tattoo artist
2. I don’t do relationships
3. The way she doesn’t put up with my demanding ways
Should I have moved her desk outside my office? No, because now I have to see her constantly.
Nothing says stay away from the good girl like late nights ordering her favorite take out just to see her smile, right?
One kiss and I’ll figure out how to have a night with her.
One night and I’ll be asking her to spend the weekend with me.
One weekend and I’ll have to find a way to win her heart.
I, Fallon Hayes, need to stop playing pranks on my boss. Did I mention he’s my new roommate?
Being the private chef for the retired hockey player who haunts my fantasies is a bad idea. Living down the hall from him is an even worse idea, especially considering the one night stand we had ten years ago.
What happened back then was unforgettable. Proof that we are destined to hate each other.
3 reasons why I absolutely cannot fall for my boss / roommate / one-night-stand:
1. I hate him and haven’t spoken to him in a decade.
2. Poisoning your CEO client is bad for the chef business.
3. Harrison Stafford obviously doesn’t do commitment (unless it’s the demon cat we’ve adopted).
Pranking Harrison is the highlight of my day. Sure, I work for him. But bedazzling his most prized possession is just one of the secret ingredients for my innocent revenge.

I, Everly Townstead, need to stop fantasizing about my brother’s billionaire best friend.
Should I have accidentally married the notorious charmer in Vegas? No, because his family is trying to buy my dad’s company.
Nothing says trust and unity between two businesses like an (accidental) marriage of convenience, right?
3 reasons why I absolutely cannot fall for my fake husband:
1. My brother would be furious
2. I can’t risk my heart getting broken again
3. Cash Stafford doesn’t do serious–ever

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother.
It isn’t just small-town lore or neighborhood gossip—I’ve witnessed what happens when the men in my family get too comfortable and fall. And maybe that’s history now, but the responsibility to lead our family business and maintain our standing as the world’s most sought-after Kentucky bourbon is on my shoulders. Few others know the lengths I’ll go to ensure the safety of my business and family. Blurring morals and manipulating rules are all just part of the game.
There’s only one problem: Hadley Finch. My brother’s best friend, Fiasco’s small-town princess, an honorary part of my family, the daughter of a deplorable businessman—she’s the woman I swore to stay away from in a bargain I never wanted to make, and now . . . she’s my wife.
Hadley’s wild attitude and smart mouth have always been impossible to ignore. She’s the only person who pushes every last shred of my resolve. When she peels off her clothes, shares her desires, and uses a nickname that will be my undoing, the chaos that led us here falls away.
There are a decade's worth of secrets and lies between us, but if we can both get what we want—I’ll keep Foxx Bourbon, and she can escape the fallout from her father’s sins—then none of that matters.
Before she was mine, I was fine protecting her from afar. It’s never been about a happy ending or being her hero, but now, I crave both. Call it the Foxx curse or penance for my sins, but when all of it explodes and the lives of those I love are threatened, there are only two things I have left to bargain with: bourbon and proof.
In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again.
I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here.
I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans. Now she’s everywhere–working at my distillery, living in our guest house, calling me ‘cowboy’ and skinny-dipping in my horse trough.
But it’s the way she dishes out attitude from that pretty mouth of hers that has me wanting things I’ve sworn to myself I’d never want again. I should push her away, forget how her lips taste, and ignore how she makes me want more out of life again.
When her past shows up and mingles too closely with mine, her lies begin to unravel. The rules don’t matter anymore. I mess up, dig too far, and get too close. Only two things have the power to keep her safe now: bourbon and lies.
