She asked for a protector. She got a fake husband. Who knew he could be all she needs and so much more?

When Oaks Malone sees a woman abducted on the street, his military training kicks in and he hatches a plan to rescue her. What he never expected was marrying her to keep her from becoming a pawn in a dangerous plot devised by a terrorist group. Oaks also didn’t anticipate feeling so protective of his new ward…who now bears his last name.

Shiloh knows far too much about her sleazy ex making deals with terrorists. Now she’s caught in a terrifying tug-of-war between them. While Oaks and the Black Heart Security team work to keep her safe, she finds something very unexpected on their Wyoming ranch—peace. The beautiful views are just as enthralling as her new husband’s steely gray eyes. And his kisses and rough hands provide the perfect distraction from her fears. Problem is, he’s too good to be true.

Nothing about this relationship feels fake, not when the ice around Oaks’s heart cracks a little more each time Shiloh looks at him. With time running out and danger closing in, Oaks and Shiloh can’t afford a single misstep. But she’s quickly seeing that the biggest risk in this game might be her heart.

This tormented hero has always been misunderstood…until he meets her.

Zach Webb is loyal to the ranch he manages. He’s also accused of wrongdoing and misunderstood. Overcoming the rumors about his role in thefts and crimes against the Gracey family has him determined to stay. Only now he’s sent to protect a neighboring ranch that’s also under attack…and that protection extends to the woman who owns it. Guarding Opal comes easy—but keeping his hands off her is one of the biggest challenges he’s ever faced.

Following her father’s death, hardened single mother Opal Vale is determined to keep his legacy alive. Trouble is, saving the Springvale Ranch is proving to be much more difficult than she thought. When Zach, the growly ranch manager, barges into her life and takes over, she doesn’t know whether to convince the grumpy cowboy that she doesn’t need him—or let the man take over with his smoldering kisses.

Keeping the ranch out of the hands of a ruthless investor is Zach’s goal. Falling for the woman he’s vowed to protect isn’t…and Opal’s battle to keep the ranch might be easier than risking her jaded heart.

He told her he would love her forever…then he changed. Can they overcome their differences and get their second chance?

After leaving his special ops unit, Carson “Ghost” Malone doesn't have to look far for his next big project. He and his brothers run a ranch in the mountains for disabled military veterans, but his second passion comes from Black Heart Security and protecting the lives of elite, high-profile persons. What he never expected was protecting her.

Layne London travels the world as an ambassador for her father's art and antique business. But when she discovers she's gained a stalker in her travels, she runs straight to the topnotch Black Heart Security—and into the arms of the man who swore at the age of thirteen to protect her. Trouble is, she dislikes this new, war-hardened Carson, and his self-assurance borders on cocky…especially when he takes control of her lips and her body with those strong, capable hands.

With a stalker closing in on Layne's trail, Carson is racing against the clock to discover the man's identity. Staying one step ahead is the name of the game…but keeping himself from falling for his ward is the twist he never saw coming.

Her confidence is shattered…until she falls into the strong arms of her past—and his best friend's rough hands.

As a model, Sloane is objectified and treated badly by men—even her baby daddy. He might be good at sending money, but he still gave up when things got tough. Now that her daughter is older, Sloane is ready for some adult time. What better way, than a week at The Boot Knockers Ranch in Alaska, being pampered…and pleasured…by hunky cowboys? It might even take her mind off the man she can't seem to forget.

When Shaw's career as an NHL hockey player ends—and his relationship too—he heads to Alaska with the hope of fulfilling his dream of coaching hockey. Working as a sex therapist on The Boot Knockers Ranch wasn't in the plan, but it has its benefits. At least until the woman who stole his heart shows up and rocks his peaceful world.

Dylan is an up-and-coming competitive bull rider, but in the off-season, he enjoys other pursuits of the steamy variety. His latest client, a bombshell with a past and more than enough curves to keep him in her bed—or in the hay—is his top priority. She's sultry yet sweet…and her ex happens to be the one man Dylan can't stay away from either.

When all three of their worlds collide, the sparks are enough to burn down the Alaskan wilderness. But can their hearts survive the blaze of passion, or will their personal battles land them heartache?

Some things are off-limits for a reason, but when a girl like Meadow is practically begging for punishment, how can Colton say no?

After a special ops mission goes south, Colton returns to his small hometown determined to honor the promise he made when his squadron brother was dying in his arms: to look after the man's little sister, Meadow.

He didn't know that promise would mean working on a mountainside ranch, raising cattle while she trains the horses. Or that his new boss would be his friend's father—a man who doesn't hide his contempt that Colton caused the death of his only son.

Which is what makes what comes next even harder, because the ranch isn't helping subdue Colton's bad boy nature any more than the military did…and while claiming his boss's daughter for his own seems unconscionable when he's already taken his boss's son's life, Meadow's relentless teasing sparks Colton's darkest inclinations yet.

When his best friend's little sister is too untamed for her own good, how can Hunter resist taking matters into his own hands?

Following an op that ended the lives of several Navy SEALs in Hunter's squadron, he struggles with survivor's guilt. After a brother-in-arms invites him to a Montana ranch to help protect and serve in another way, Hunter is eager for the change. What he wasn't prepared for was finding a different kind of enemy—the sister of his dead best friend, who is also the owner's daughter.

Hunter is willing to keep intruders off the land. He's even willing to help investigate the whereabouts of a missing ranch hand. But surviving Ivy might be more difficult than any secret mission.

As tensions rise between Hunter and Ivy, dangers on the ranch do too. Military strategy he's comfortable with—his growing feelings for Ivy are another story. Her taunts get under his skin, pushing Hunter's dominant tendencies to a whole new level of darkness.

The woman he plans to claim is perfect for him—now he just has to convince her.

After a special ops mission devastated his SEAL squadron, Carver Wolfe, aka Wolfman, has little purpose in the world. The brothers he led on the battlefield scattered to a ranch in Montana, but when Wolfe arrives, he's thrown into another deadly fight. Guarding a younger, fiery bar owner comes with its own risks, especially since he can't keep his eyes—or hands—off her.

Livia inherited a bar, but she never expected the trouble that came with it. Now she's saddled with a ruthless military man taking charge of what belongs to her. That includes her sanity…and her lips with too many stolen kisses.

While finding out who is behind the attacks on Livia's bar is important, protecting her is imperative to Wolfe's heart…and her stubbornness just might be turning to surrender. But will all they've built go up in flames when a sinister attack hits?

No one expects their one-night stand to become their fierce protector—or their happily ever after. But it's not impossible…right?

All that retired Navy SEAL Ledger Bell wanted to do was fight his personal demons in solitude. But when his military brothers needed help securing their Montana ranch, he had their six. He was ready for anything. Anything except the smart, sexy veterinarian he had the hottest night of his life with…and the bombshell she drops on him…

Just because Demi wasn't planning to get pregnant doesn't mean she can't handle a baby. She has a career she loves, a good salary, and a solid home. So, she doesn't plan to ask her overprotective baby daddy for anything. Especially since his kisses make her forget he's the worst emotional bet she could ever make…

When danger finds its way to Demi's doorstep, Ledger knows there are no limits to what he'll do to protect her. But can he open his heart enough to become the kind of man she deserves? That remains to be seen…
