The engagement arrangement.

After his divorce, cowboy–turned–Navy SEAL Wayne Brustanovitch swore he'd never remarry. Now he needs a wife – and fast – in order to fulfil his ailing father's final wishes. Wayne has a plan, but for it to work, he'll need his pregnant friend Paisley to agree to a make–believe marriage!

Paisley Carter knows her hunky neighbour's idea is a bad one, but as she and Wayne play pretend at his parents' Arizona ranch, the line between ruse and reality begins to blur. Can Wayne and Paisley resist falling for each other for real?

Former Navy SEAL Wiley James is lucky to be alive, but the war destroyed his health, his confidence and his livelihood. Now, back at his family's Montana ranch, Wiley struggles to find new purpose. Instead he finds an old childhood pal–little Macy Shelton, who has grown into a beautiful woman. Wiley knows he should steer clear of the cheery single mom...if only she'd let him.

Macy doesn't recognize this new Wiley. A bitter stranger has replaced the young man she fell for as a teen. Though Macy's heart still wants so much more, what Wiley needs most right now is a friend, and Macy is the only one he'll let in. Her friendship is a lifeline, but will Macy's love be the one thing that can finally help Wiley begin to heal?

Cash Buckhorn never thought he'd see Dr. Wren Barnes again, outside of the occasional fantasy anyway. He certainly didn't expect her to appear unannounced on his front porch, six months pregnant with his child. Wren asks for nothing, but Cash doesn't know what to make of it. This rodeo cowboy has lived twenty–seven carefree years as a bachelor–he's not ready for an instant family.

But when Wren's pregnancy complications strand her at Cash's Oklahoma ranch, he begins to imagine their future together. Problem is, Wren already has a future, far away in Baltimore. Cash knows Wren is used to doing it all on her own. Maybe it's the magic of the Christmas season, but Cash suddenly wants it all–Wren and their baby, home on the Buckhorn Ranch forever!

The Road To Redemption 

Navy SEAL Cooper Hansen hasn't been home in more than a decade. He has never forgiven himself for the accident that killed his mother, and as far as he knows, neither has his family. But when his brother's widow, Millie, needs his help to save the Hansen ranch, Cooper can't stay away any longer. 

Millie has always loved Cooper in some way – as a childhood friend, a high–school crush and then as a brother–in–law. Now that he's back in Brewer's Falls, she's discovering new, unexpected feelings for him. But if Cooper keeps holding on to the pain of the past, will he ever give their future together a fighting chance?

Tiffany Lawson promised herself that she would never love a man again. Now she's a pregnant former rodeo queen struggling to support her mother and grandmother. She's picked the perfect adoptive parents, but cowboy Navy SEAL Rowdy Jones isn't letting anyone take his child.

Rowdy loves the adrenaline from being a Navy SEAL, but becoming a dad? That trumps everything. While he and Tiffany shared only one night, Rowdy's determined to do the right thing. His next mission – to win Tiffany and keep his son – might be his toughest yet…

What Navy SEAL Marsh Langtree needs is to make sense of his life. What he gets is a near–fatal snakebite. If it weren't for Effie Washington, Marsh would be a goner. Her blue eyes and gorgeous smile make him thankful he's still breathing. But he shouldn't be flirting with a single mom…

With rambunctious twins and an infant at home, Effie's love life has stalled. Despite the obvious sparks between them, Effie can tell Marsh is holding back, and she won't fall for another man who's not all–in. Will the possibility of a future with Effie finally force Marsh to forgive himself for the past?
