Sometimes a cowboy needs a second chance...

Some mistakes can't be undone. After making the absolute worst decision of his life, horse veterinarian Drake Brewster will do whatever it takes to make amends with his best friend. And it starts with a summer at the Last Chance Ranch. But not everyone is thrilled about it... especially bartender and psych student Tracy Gibbons.

Tracy sees the world in shades of right and wrong–and what Drake did was Very Definitely Wrong. Worse yet, her promise to babysit a horse sanctuary means relying on Drake. And that's where Tracy finds herself in a serious dilemma. He's the one person she can't trust, but she wants Drake something fierce... and the feeling is fiercely mutual! But if she climbs into the saddle, will she be ready for the ride?

Saddle up! 

There ain't a rider that can't be thrown. And large-animal veterinarian Regan O'Connelli was thrown hard when he discovered his fiancée with his best friend. Now he's starting his life over at the Last Chance Ranch, run by the tightly knit Chance clan. But damned if his libido hasn't perked up over the spirited redhead who looks a lot like trouble…. 

Lily King is the queen of anti-structure. Turns out, that makes running a horse sanctuary a challenge. Regan's help is exactly what Lily needs–not to mention the seriously sexy sparks that are flying between them. Now she just has to convince this fallen cowboy to dust himself off and get back in the saddle…and into her bed!

City–slicker lawyer Jeannette Trenton is about as welcome at the Last Chance Ranch as a rattlesnake at a square dance. She's there to atone for one major mistake. But Jeannette's pretty sure righting her big wrong does not include thinking lustful thoughts about the ranch's new cowhand….

Zach Powell knows Jeannette's type–a wound–up–tight perfectionist with one eye on her email at all times. Heck, that used to be him. She needs to shake it loose, face her imperfections and allow herself to make mistakes. There's definitely no mistake about the wickedly sexy vibe between them. This gal is gonna have to “cowboy up”…or miss the ride of her life!

The last cowboy...

All work and no play makes Finn a dull cowboy. Since his divorce, Finn O'Roarke only has put all of his time into his Seattle-based microbrewery, unaware that back in Wyoming, his foster parents are on the verge of ruin. Now Finn and his foster brothers are trying to save Thunder Mountain Ranch — and only one woman can help them turn it all around.

Marketing guru Chelsea Trask has had a thing for the gorgeous brewer for ages. When they work together at Thunder Mountain Ranch, however, she starts to see Finn's cowboy side. And it's irresistibly hot. Best of all, the attraction that's been sizzling beneath the surface has erupted in some very sexy situations. But is Chelsea falling for the real Finn...or for the cowboy he used to be?

From lone wolf to family man...

When trick roper Zeke Rafferty sees Tess Irwin standing on his front porch, memories of two unforgettable nights come flooding back. But when the pretty school teacher reveals that one plus one will soon equal three, Zeke is stunned. Then he remembers his manners. And asks Tess to marry him.

If you turn down a handsome cowboy's proposal is it okay to still want to kiss him? Wait, no! Tess doesn't want a husband. Besides, she's holding out for love. But a man has a right to know he fathered a child. Zeke proved he can make a baby, but can he make the grade as a loving husband and dad?

It's Katie Peterson's job to be a mouthy DJ, but being mouthy just got personal Jess Harkins is working on an office tower next to her local radio station, and she especially dislikes having her view blocked by the guy who turned down the chance to be her 'first'.

Time for a little payback

And he's ready for action!

Jess always enjoyed Katie's irreverent comments, but now her on–air barbs are directed at him! Jess has only one thing to say to Katie, and it isn't something he can phone in. It's time to turn the radio off and turn Katie on!

Nat Grady is finally home–older and wiser. A year and a half ago, when the woman he'd loved had hinted at commitment, Nat had run far and fast. But now he knows he can't live without her. So he's back, hoping they'll be able to start again. Only, Jessica's nowhere to be found. But she did leave a little something behind….

Jessica Franklin is living a nightmare. She'd thought things were rough when the man she loved ran out on her, leaving her to give birth to their child alone. But when she realized she had a stalker on her trail, she had to run–without her baby. Now, only one man can help her–Nat Grady. But can she find Nat–before the stalker finds her?
