Managing Ryan - A Novella
Ryan and Heather’s Story
Can one wrong turn change two lives?
Ryan Weston
My life might not be perfect, but it’s perfect for me. Quiet. Simple. I help run the Ridge Ranch. It’s hard work and gives me what I need. But it doesn’t leave me much to offer anyone. Especially the woman standing on the ranch house’s front step. My instincts scream at me to turn her away. The last thing we need is a beautiful woman distracting the ranch hands, but I can’t deny the little things needing attention around here. Including a decent meal. I can't be the man she needs, but I need her more than anything.
Heather Wright
The job I was promised is ripped away before I even get through the door. A lack of funds and a wrong turn find me in the little town of Emerson, Minnesota. Now, all that stands between me, a warm meal and a place to sleep, is a grumpy cowboy. I convince him he needs me, or at least the ranch does. I’m thrilled he accepts; it can’t be that hard to cook for a cowboy and his ranch hands. Can it? Now, if only I can convince him that he needs me just as much.

Saving Maddie
Wyatt and Ari's Story

Arianna Wade
It feels like I've been running forever. When the first move wasn't enough to shake the shadows of my past, I know that I need to do something drastic. Moving to the middle of nowhere to nanny for a young girl in need seems like the perfect solution. But this fresh start comes with strings attached, and I'm not ready for the chemistry that sparks when I meet the young girl's father.
Wyatt Ridge
I'm used to disappointing people, like my father, who wishes I had followed in his footsteps. But I'm happy with my life, and running my own construction business leaves little time to dwell on the past. That is, until one phone call changes everything. Suddenly, I have custody of a hurt and scared daughter I never knew existed, and I'm asking for help for the first time in my life.
Ms. Wade is perfect with my daughter, and as hard as I try, I can't deny that part of me thinks the two of us might be perfect too. Even though we've both been burned before, maybe it's possible for two broken people to save each other.
Redeeming Cooper
Cooper and Jo’s Story
Jo Williams
In high school, I was in love with my best friend. The problem—he never saw me as anything other than a study buddy.

Cooper Ridge

I’m known for my no strings attached, but then a flash from my past has me second guessing everything. I can’t get enough, and all I want is her.
What happens when past feelings won’t be buried? Will I give up my playboy ways? Can we be enough for each other? Will a surprise give us both more than we bargained for?
Loving Bonnie
Bo and Bonnie’s Story
In a man’s world of ranching, she was determined to prove she belonged—Not even the alluring blue eyed cowboy in charge or her team.
Bonnie
I was not going to be derailed by a breakup. The timely acceptance letter to a premier Ranch Management Intern Program gives me time to clear my head. It’s not the first time I’ve come across men who don’t think I belong in their world. I might have to work harder than they do, but I deserve it just as much. When there's a mention of a permanent job, I know it’s mine. I just can’t let a handsome ranch hand distract me no matter how much I want him.
Bo
Helping oversee the boss’ Internship Program is not my idea of fun. I’d rather muck stalls all year, than babysit a bunch of wannabe ranchers. Girls in our program are few and far between and the guys don’t take it easy on them. Several of the interns don’t feel she belong, but she earned her spot just like they did. In fact, she gives them a run for their money. As an intern, she’s off limits, so why do I feel I want to protect her? She won’t let anything get in the way of what she wants, even me.
Forgiving Annie
Isaac and Annie’s Story

When she and her son show up at the ranch, I think I’m dreaming. Maybe this is our second chance, but will she let me in or will she push me away, again? When the secret Annie thought I knew surfaces, do we even stand a chance?
