Taming the Maverick - Tara Taylor Quinn

How to train a cowboy.

Rancher Crosby Abernathy came to Tenacity, Montana, for opportunity. The once down-on-its-luck small town has seen its fortunes turn around and Crosby wants to be a part of it. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s far away from his large matchmaking family. The last thing he expected was to find a stray dog on his porch. Or that the loveable mutt would lead him to a beautiful woman...

Abigail Norton is a sucker for dogs. Cowboys — especially charming, footloose ones — are another matter. And yet Abigial finds herself enjoying both the dog and Crosby’s company. Still, Abigail doesn’t believe the cowboy will stick around...unless she can convince him to stay?

Secrets drove them apart...only the truth can bring them home.

Returning to Legacy Canyon, Texas, for her brother’s wedding is stirring up a decade of heartache for Liv Thomas. At seventeen, she fled to California with a broken heart, carrying a secret she vowed never to reveal to Caleb Larrabee — or his powerful family. Now, facing Caleb again, Liv discovers that time and distance haven’t made the rancher any less irresistible...or her heart any less vulnerable. Caleb, too, can’t deny he still has powerful feelings for Liv. But how can they have a second chance when she’s still hiding something? Something that, once revealed, will either give them the love and future they always wanted...or break them apart for good.

Only, in his past life, Dane knew that fatherhood wasn’t in his cards. And when Maisey gets a call to foster twin toddlers, she’s over the moon. Dane can’t deprive the most loving woman he’s ever known of the joy of motherhood. But as he grows closer to Maisey and the twins, can Dane change the future — or is he stuck in the past?
