ONE WILD COWBOY
All Emily McCabe wants is for Dylan Reeves to pretend they’re dating, so she can get her overprotective clan out of her life. But he flat-out refuses. So why does the sexy horse whisperer kiss her in front of the whole town? Could the untamable bachelor actually be dreaming of making a life with Laramie County’s most willful woman?
A COWBOY TO MARRY
The only way for widow Libby Lowell to move on with her life is to leave Laramie, Texas. But Holden McCabe isn’t letting Libby go. Not after she turned to him in her hour of need…and their passion created a baby. Is this their biggest mistake, or the second chance they’ve both been searching for?
“I never said I didn’t desire you,” Dylan said in a low, rich voice that practically oozed testosterone.
He was acting as if their madcap embrace was a good thing. Emily fumed. “How dare you!”
He stepped forward and further invaded her space. “How dare you?”
With effort, Emily ignored the sexual tremors starting deep inside her. Determined to get command of a situation that was fast escalating out of control, she extended her index finger and tapped him on the center of his rock-solid chest. “Let’s get something straight, cowboy.” She waited until she was certain she had his full attention. “My request for help did not include anything sexual.”
He winked at her facetiously. “Too bad, ’cause if it had, I might have said yes.”

This is not good, Emily McCabe thought as she led her beloved mare, Maisy, toward the Circle M Ranch stable. Standing just inside the entrance to the barn were all three of her older brothers. Their postures were as inflexible as the set of their jaws, and they appeared to be waiting on her.
The relaxation she’d felt after her Monday afternoon ride was fading fast as Emily studied the trio of determined expressions. “What’s going on?” she asked warily. It had to be something. Otherwise, Jeb would have been looking after his rodeo livestock, Hank would have been tending his cattle, and Holden would have been caring for his quarter horses. Instead, all three ranchers were gathered here on her parents’ property.
Awkward glances were exchanged—the kind that told her this was not an actual emergency. Great, Emily thought. Just what she needed—her wildly overprotective clan butting into her life again.
Looking less rambunctious than usual, Jeb squared his shoulders. “We wanted to talk to you.”
Emily sighed, bored already. She patted Maisy’s silky black mane and led the big bay mare past her brothers, toward her horse’s stall. “About what?”
“Mom and Dad are worried about you.” The always-gallant Holden kept pace. “You’ve put everything you’ve got into the café for two years now. And with the new diner opening...”
They were all acting as if she was about to have her heart broken. “I have a very loyal customer base. It’s not going to cut into my business.”
To her annoyance, her brothers stood their ground.
“On top of that,” Holden continued, “it’s been over a year since you had a date.”
Uh-oh. Now that had an ominous ring. Emily knew her brothers could be ridiculously sexist where she was concerned. They had been that way since she was a kid, something that happened when there was only one girl in a family. It didn’t mean she had to like it.
