The Wolf Mountain Ranchers Series
Book 1: Something Lost
When the senator said he’d send an aide to draft a counter to the proposed pipeline that would bisect his ranch, the last thing Mark expected…was Lana.
The woman who arrives from Washington knows things he’s certain aren’t a matter of public record.
The pull to her is stronger than he’d like and for the first time in years he’s glimpsed a second chance at happiness.
Lana’s past is shadowy, something Mark suspects is to blame for her obsession with security and the fact she’s always looking over her shoulder. He wonders if it’s the reason she wants to leave D.C.
When a tragic accident results in a terrible misunderstanding, both of their lives are torn apart. Mark realizes the hard way that there are people who don’t want them together. Yet is it possible the biggest obstacle between him and happiness…is himself?

Book 2: Something Broken
She was his sister's best friend. She wasn't supposed to change everything.
Ashley blew into Travis’s life like a summer storm—wild, beautiful, and gone too fast. For a man used to routine—early mornings, hard work, and building his family’s legacy—she was a disruption he never expected. But when she left, she didn’t just walk away. She took his heart with her.
Travis has never felt a connection like the one he had with Ashley. But he let pride and poor timing drive a wedge between them. Now, decades later, he's a widower raising twin boys, and Ashley is back—thanks to a little meddling from his well-meaning sister.
Ashley hasn’t forgiven Travis. But as she steps back into his world, she sees more than the man who broke her heart. She sees a devoted father, a man scarred by loss, and someone who might just deserve a second chance. Maybe the past isn’t the problem anymore. Maybe it’s her fear of what comes next.

Book 3: Something Gained
My hopes, plans and dreams have been put aside in favor of basic survival, a skill I’ve honed at great personal cost.
The handsome cowboy who finds me walking home one day and takes it upon himself to be my transporter, the bringer of food and gifts, has demons of his own. Jacob says he understands struggle and suffering and expects no repayment, but in my experience everyone seeks their due.
When it becomes clear to Jacob that my son and I are in danger, he shelters us, giving me time and space to adjust, something he understands due to a past he won’t talk about.
I’ve been running from a ghost for seven years, hiding until I thought the storm had blown over. But returning home was my biggest mistake, because the past is only two steps behind.
I don’t expect Jacob to save me, and I’m beginning to realize he needs more than I can give. After a lifetime of feeling like I’m not enough, the thought of not being enough for him scares me more than the evil that hunts me.

Book 4: Something Sacrificed
Some people would call this a midlife crisis, but I know better. I’m too old for that.
Pulling up my shallow roots, I decide on a whim to move from Texas to Montana, leaving what I’ve known for the past three decades.
The woman I cross paths with at the county fair is one I’ve known from a distance for twenty years, someone to whom I’ve grown close: My best friend’s widow, Genesis Dawson, who’s running the family ranch after her husband’s tragic death.
Startled by her unexpected appearance, I muddy the waters, creating a situation I can’t seem to fix. But a bigger problem is that her ranch is under threat and she stands to lose the investment of four generations.
Can I mend what I’ve broken and convince her not to make the biggest mistake of her life?

Book 5: Something Saved
When Morgan shows up on my doorstep wearing a pencil skirt and heels, demanding she be allowed to interview for the position I posted for a nanny, I'm reasonably sure she's joking.
The woman the kids take to immediately makes it plain straightaway that she has absolutely no experience as a nanny, and I wonder what's the real backstory to the slightly familiar-looking woman who doesn't seem to legally exist.
In my experience, women have secrets and it turns out Morgan is no exception. Her secrets take her away from her duties with some frequency, though her presence draws each of us out. Something about her begins to glue the pieces back together.
I'm exhausted, fighting to fill the financial holes my father's big dreams have created, and the truth is that my third-generation ranch is under threat from developers with deep pockets.
The bigger problem? The kids Morgan is nannying aren't actually mine--not yet--and when the woman who's worming her way into my heart offers to help me fix that, some terrible things come to light. Can I live with what she's hidden, or is it best for everyone if I just cut her loose?

Book 6: Something Wild
My life detonated with a single text from my brother, exposing a side of my life I didn’t know existed.
One photo, sent to the entire family—painting me as the villain, then daring me to beg for the details he’ll never give.
Perfect timing. I was already walking away from the family real estate machine—done drafting contracts that trap people, ready for something real, honorable and good.
The text rolled in as I was on my way to buy a ranch in Montana, my escape hatch. My Plan B.
After closing I discover the land is crawling with problems. There are environmental violations, hidden damage, and someone is furious I got it cheap. Nicola from the DNR is determined to shut my business down and the deeper I dig, the clearer it gets: This isn’t bad luck. It’s sabotage.
With Nicola’s grudging help, I start pulling at threads someone would kill to keep hidden. Is she trying to help me, or keeping me close in order to do me in?
And the truth my brother dropped into my life? It’s not staying buried and changes everything.
Everything I’ve built–even what I didn’t know was mine–is in the crosshairs.
I walked away to start over.
Now I’m fighting to protect everything I’ve come to love, knowing I might lose it all.

Book 7: Something Freed (Coming January 12, 2027)
Taking the management job at Long Horse Ranch was my escape from a toxic marriage and even uglier divorce. Twenty-five years given to a woman who was sneaking around with my best friend behind my back, my ex-Ranger brother. It nearly broke me.
Now I’m buried in work, too numb to grieve the two teenage sons the courts handed to their mother. I’m just going through the motions… until Tisha.
My boss’s daughter is off-limits. Twenty years younger. A fierce, high-powered single mom with her own crazy baggage. She doesn’t need a broken-down cowboy with combat scars like me.
But I’ve grown close to her teenage son. He seeks me out as a mentor, and that boy is quietly healing a hole in my heart I thought would never close.
Problem is, his mother has secrets—dangerous ones that seem to follow her everywhere she goes, and she’s not nearly as good at hiding as she thinks. Secrets never end well in my world.
I don’t stand a chance with her. I don’t deserve her love or the love of her family.
But circumstances keep throwing us together, and this time… I’m not giving up without a hell of a fight. But I can’t speak for her. She may have already decided I’m not worth the trouble.
