Meier Ranch Brothers

Book excerpt: Tempting the Rancher Texas rancher Nathaniel Meier always puts his responsibilities first. With his father dead, his brothers away, and his mother off "finding herself," it's Nat who runs their sprawling ranch. But with cattle to sell and the bank breathing down his neck, he needs all the help he can get, even when that help comes from the last person he ever expected to see again—his childhood sweetheart January Rose. Redeeming the Rancher He's surrounded by darkness. She's the one who can lead him into the light… After his recent military tour, Wes Meier wants to hang up his helmet and focus on his family's Texas ranch. But when he meets Olive, his focus shifts. The fascinating, gorgeous, and not-at-all-his-type artist wants to use him as inspiration for a local sculpture, but Wes just wants to retreat. He came back home for peace and quiet, not to be immortalized as a hero. Even worse, she's the sister of one of his fallen comrades, and having her around makes him remember experiences he's desperate to forget. Livie is challenging his grasp on civilian life, but she's fast becoming an attraction Wes is powerless to resist. Claiming the Cowboy A rodeo star who's as wild as a bull… Rodeo rider Chace Meier has had enough of hard hits, wild women, fame and fortune. He's ready to find a new dream, and being at his family ranch has always kept him grounded. So when he's asked by a friend to help open a distillery in his hometown, he's raring to go. Only one thing stands in his way—the prim and proper mayor of his Texas town. The sedate and sophisticated Gretchen de Havilland has not one red hair out of place on her gorgeous head, but not even her adorably aloof attitude will put Chace off. He's looking to put his town on the map, and he'll turn on all his charm to do so. …and the woman who ropes him in.
