My plan was to visit my boyfriend back home in Crimson Ridge for the holidays. Except, my surprise trip, after shutting up my florist shop for the festive season, only ended up revealing the worst kind of betrayal.

Now, I’m hiding from the guy I just caught cheating on me, while stranded with a flat tire and a snowstorm approaching.

All it took was a slip of my thumb, a press of the wrong contact name in my phone.

Instead of dialing my best friend for help, I accidentally called my life-long cowboy crush.

My best friend’s father.

Lucas Rhodes is a man I haven’t seen in twelve months. Not since last New Year’s Eve when he drove me home… alone.

If we get snowed in together on his ranch tonight, how am I supposed to resist my every teenage fantasy when he’s looking at me like that?

Bouquets　Buckles is an interconnected stand-alone, novella set in the same world as the Crimson Ridge series.

I’m not supposed to feel this way…

I never wanted to disappear more than while around my family. Briar Lane, the girl only useful for one thing: my surname.

A business handshake and pawn to be traded. My father’s chess piece shuffled between empires. That was my life back in L.A. but all it took was finding the dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket, and my entire world unraveled.

So, I fled to the one place I knew they could never find me. Crimson Ridge.

Arriving in this snowy, harsh world, I thought I’d be starting over on my own, but it turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong. The abandoned mountain cabin I inherited isn’t what it seems.

This mountain hides secrets. An ex-pro bull rider consumes this space, and now, my every thought with it St?rmand Lane. My father’s adopted brother.

We should never have found ourselves isolated out here in the mountains together, each trying to outrun our pasts.

All it took was one misunderstanding, one line almost crossed, and everything changed.

A girl like me isn’t supposed to know what those tattooed hands feel like, and I’m certainly not meant to feel butterflies anytime that pair of piercing blue eyes land on mine.

He might be my every fantasy, a cowboy I constantly dream about, but he’s a temptation I have to ignore. A man I absolutely cannot find myself attracted to.

Even when he’s looking at me with the kind of hunger that can only spell ruin for us both.

Long, dark nights spent in this tiny cabin can’t be the excuse to step into forbidden territory.

Or can they?

What happens when you're snowed in on a mountain ranch, with the one man you definitely should not be fantasizing about?

I've always done what was expected of me. Layla Birch, the good girl.

Forced to grow up too fast. To take care of everything myself. I had a plan.

Only, I didn't count on him. Colton Wilder. The cowboy nearly twice my age.

He's my dream man. One who takes care of me, gives me a job, and makes my pulse thud harder every time he comes near.

My ex-boyfriend's father.

The nights are long and cold on top of this mountain. As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we're both inching closer to a line we shouldn't cross.

Each day, it grows harder to resist the man who looks at me with longing in his eyes.

It's tempting to forget about being the good girl for once.

No one would find out. Would they?

YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED.

The Noire Moon is upon us.

I found myself with a ticket I couldnt refuse.

An invitation I couldn't give away.

An unwanted gift I was unable to return.

Attending a haunted house party at Port Macabre's most exclusive and notoriously private sex club? My head tells me this is insanity.

This is a part of the city outskirts, where rumors run wild of missing persons and a secretive society overseeing all that transpires during these evenings.

However, the allure of what this night might bring draws something out in me.

Dark desires I shouldn't have.

Tastes I shouldn't risk indulging.

Now I find myself at their mercy. Three masked strangers, who might just end my life… if I don't concede to their demands.
