I needed help, and he was the only person equipped to give it. Our instant attraction doesn¿t feel like much of a choice either, but it doesn't matter. Everything has changed. Now my choices impact other people.And what will I choose? Do I keep Isaac out?Do I dare to let him in?

The Hayden Family Book One

The Patriot

I know you've heard about me. The middle Hayden brother, the one whose wife ran off. I'm not the short-tempered new owner of the Hayden Cattle Company, like my big brother. I'm not the wild stallion with a mystery ax to grind, like my little brother. I'm Warner Hayden. Single-father, second-in-command of my family's ranching dynasty, and my steady, secure world is about to get rocked by America's sweetheart. I'd heard Tenley Roberts was coming to our small town to film her latest movie, I just didn't think she'd be driving a 1976 Bronco. So, no, I didn't know the identity of the beautiful stranger I helped on the side of the road, but I figured it out a few days later. And I haven't been the same since. Tenley is unexpectedly funny, and complicated. I'm recently divorced, fearful of the way she makes my heart beat double-time, and gun-shy.Despite all this, we're too wrapped up in each other to care. But then things with Tenley take an unforeseen turn, and everyone assumes I'll take my licks the way I always have. Not this time. Maybe I am the nice, dependable brother. But I'm also a Hayden, born and bred. And this bull has horns.

The Maverick (Hayden Family Series)

Good On Paper

My whole life I've known Finn Jeffries and Brady Sterling would be my undoing. The three of us were inseparable, but growing up with two boys as your best friends comes with it's own certain type of growing pains. As a child, Finn was wild and free, and grew up to be a devilishly handsome man with a smirk that frustrated me as much as it did other things to me. Brady was brave and loyal, and the kind of man he grew into didn't surprise me a bit: devoted and gallant, with a handsome, trustworthy face that made my heart beat faster. We went our separate ways for college, but now it's eight years later and a pact we made back then has brought us back to our hometown. Back to the complicated situation we ran from. Back to the love triangle we never really escaped. I love them both, and it's time for me to make a choice. I've always known one of them would be my forever, I just never knew which one. And I still don't.

Beyond the Pale

Least Amount of Awful

From Amazon Charts Bestselling Author Jennifer Millikin comes a small town, single dad romance.

Colbie Jones has worked hard to design a pain-free life. So when she catches her boyfriend cheating, it doesn’t hurt that much. But when Colbie receives a call that her estranged father, Emmett, has been badly injured, she realizes it’s time to pack her bags and finally face him — and that’s going to hurt.

Colbie’s arrival sends shock waves through the small town, but it affects Jake Whittier most of all. Single-dad and foreman of Jones Construction, Jake sees Emmett as the father he no longer has, and that makes him an opponent of all things Colbie Jones.

Jake’s obvious animosity doesn’t bother Colbie, because she’s leaving in three days, tops. But then her dad asks her to stay and take over his business while he recovers, and Colbie hears herself agreeing before she has fully considered the proposal. Never mind that she has no idea how to build a house.

Jake will just have to deal with having her around.

But the more time Colbie spends with Jake, the more she sees why the rest of the town likes him. And once Colbie meets Jake’s son, it’s all downhill from there.

Colbie thought the most challenging part of this arrangement would be having to work with Jake.

But falling for him?

That would be awful.

The Least Amount of Awful

I've made a mess of things again. Not that anybody is surprised. After I'm politely asked to withdraw from college for my antics, I return home to my family's cattle ranch. The sweeping views, the towering pine trees, and the whisper of the wind remind me I belong on this land. My heart is in the alpine air, my soul mixed into the soil. All I've ever wanted is to run the ranch alongside my oldest brother, but my family refuses to see me as anything but a walking disaster. If I'm going to show them what I'm capable of, I have to prove myself. Lucky for me, I'm a Hayden through and through. I'll dirty my hands in more ways than one. That includes the man who showed up in town again after all these years. Sawyer Bennett. I've heard the stories about his family, and they don't scare me. Our attraction is undeniable, and the best part? Sawyer looks at me with fresh eyes. When I'm with him, I get to be the woman I'm fighting to become. And I'm learning just how much I want to be that woman. But then I make the ultimate mistake: I utter the word perfect. I should've known better. There's nowhere to go but down after that. And down we go, until we hit rock bottom. Sawyer unearths a long-buried secret, and challenges everything my brothers and I grew up believing. Nobody is surprised I've brought disaster to our doorstep again, but it's not over. Because when it rains out on the ranch? It pours.

Here for the Cake

Rhodes Porter. A name Georgia Whittier would prefer never cross her lips again. Not only was her older brother's best friend her first love, her first everything, but he broke her heart for a reason she still hasn't fully accepted. To make it worse, Georgia couldn't properly nurse her broken heart, because nobody knew about the love affair. A decade has passed, and Georgia is all grown up. She's twenty-seven, a college graduate who had a real world job. Had. Her small hometown of Green Haven isn't flush with teaching jobs, but she knew that when she moved back home. She's making ends meet with odd jobs, and has rediscovered her old love of West Coast swing dancing. Life isn't great, but it's good enough. Until Rhodes returns to Green Haven. For good. As much as Georgia would prefer to banish him from her life, she can't. See: Brother's best friend. Now Rhodes is everywhere. Her brother's wedding. At a family barbecue. On the sidewalk across the street while Georgia waits in line at the post office. And that broken heart Georgia thought had healed? It hasn't. Because Rhodes is just like before. Better, even. Georgia is determined to keep Rhodes at arm's length, even when he's buying her blackberry orange jam at the Sierra Grande farmer's market. Even when he's holding eye contact a beat too long. Especially when she finds out the old note she wrote him is still sewn into the brim of his baseball hat. The hat he still wears. Every day it gets more difficult for Georgia to refuse her heart. But if what Georgia wants is a reason not to fall in love with Rhodes again, she need look no further. Rhodes is holding onto it. All these years he's kept the truth of why he left her a secret, but secrets have a way of revealing themselves. And this one? It's a doozy.
