To protect a woman and her unborn child, a small-town security firm goes head-to-head with an elusive criminal that most people don’t believe exists.

The law enforcement community calls him The Prophet since all he’s done so far is issue online threats. Like the cryptic ransom request Jillian Phillips receives for the child she’s still carrying — to be paid on her delivery date, no less. Either she’s the butt of a horrific prank, or she’s somehow landed in the crosshairs of a nameless, faceless enemy.

The police can’t do much since the crime technically hasn’t been committed yet. So, she turns to Lonestar Security for help, a company run by former bull riding champs. Only to discover her new husband is in the same criminal’s crosshairs.

A man who swept her to the altar only weeks after their first date. A man whose deadline from The Prophet has come and gone. And now he can’t be reached!

A newly certified forensic artist does a few practice sketches of her scenic hometown…and accidentally captures a crime in progress.

Mila Kingston is furious with her stepbrother for missing her high school graduation. And her beauty school graduation. And her almost wedding, but that’s another story. Yeah, she gets that he co-owns one of the fastest-growing security firms in the west, but that’s no excuse for ignoring baby sis. On a mission to be taken more seriously by him, she upgrades her makeup artist certification to a forensic artist certification and applies for a job at his company.

Former special ops Rock Hefner is tasked with creating a forensics team at Lonestar Security. Despite Mila’s lack of experience, he’s so impressed by her sample portfolio that he arm-twists her stepbrother into hiring her. During her first few days on the job, she’s the victim of a seemingly random string of accidents, propelling him to take another look at her sample sketches. What he finds in one of them makes his blood run cold.

Bronc riding champ Ames Carson is at a major crossroads in his career. His brothers are gonna die laughing if they ever find out the hardest part of his decision is this — should he kiss his best friend before leaving town?

He wants to. That's a given. But he's afraid of ruining a perfectly good friendship, if it turns out she doesn't feel the same way about him. That's the tough thing about being best buds with the girl next door. He knows literally everything else about her but THAT.

He knows who her first crush was (not him), and the first guy she kissed (also not him), as well as her first fiancé (not him either). He would give anything to know if she's done practicing on all the wrong guys and ready to two-step beneath the mistletoe with him. Unfortunately, it never seems to be the right moment, and now he's obsessing night and day about stealing a quick kiss from her before hitting the road. If she's not interested, at least he'll be gone. If she is interested…whew! Yes, please. That's a problem he wouldn't mind having.

A wounded rodeo champion and a lovely horse trainer make a friendship pact to protect each other's broken hearts from rebound relationships.

Their ground rules are simple:

1. Need a plus one at a holiday get-together? Ask each other.

2. Feeling bored or lonely? Call or text each other.

3. Accidentally step beneath the mistletoe? Um…

Okay, it's kind of impossible to make a rule for every situation, so their feelings soon get a little tangled up with each other. But that's okay, right? Because friends are supposed to care for friends. What they didn't count on was just how easily two broken halves might fit together to form a new whole.

Should they bend the ground rules a little to explore their unexpected chemistry or stick to the original plan of playing it safe in the friend zone?

A renowned archeologist rarely visits her cozy hometown, because she's secretly crushing on the sheriff. But a string of danger brings them together to unravel a century-old mystery involving a missing heiress.

Bliss Hawling has been in love with Sheriff Gil Remington since their silly first kiss in high school. Someone dares him to do it, so it's mostly a joke — to everyone but her. A few years later, he marries someone else.

Now he's a widower. After the funeral, she plans to leave town again and never return. However, Gil arm twists her into coming back for one last visit. The town council needs her to identify DNA markers for two sets of mummified remains to determine if there's a living heir to an unclaimed fortune from one of their founding families. But the unexpected danger the assignment stirs isn't something a woman in love can simply walk away from.

A covert investigator and a bubbly realtor in training fight crime together in this penpal, secret crush romance.

Holt Winchester is the nicest guy. Everyone in town likes and trusts the friendly auto detailer by day and cowboy by night, which makes him the perfect candidate for K&G Security's new covert ops program. Few people understand he's not entirely at the top of his game after a recent abduction.

Because of what happened to her before moving to town, Bonnie Yates is one of those few people. Fortunately, she has five overprotective brothers to keep her safe from now on. The downside is they scare away every prospective boyfriend. Hoping to turn her friendship with Holt into more, she asks him to be her penpal, never dreaming their letters would lead to a crime fighting partnership of sorts. As it turns out, two heads are better than one. She can only hope and pray that two hearts will also prove to be stronger than one, as their case takes a deadly turn.
