Áine's Salvation
Áine's Salvation
She ran for her life. He’s the cowboy who can save her, if she lets him into her heart.
Áine Walker’s picture-perfect life in New York shatters the night she escapes a deadly threat. With nowhere else to turn, she flees to her best friend’s wedding in a small Montana town, hoping the wide-open skies will hide her past.
But Evanston offers more than refuge. It brings her face-to-face with Jeb O’Neal, the rugged foreman of Hawthorn’s Hope Ranch. With his piercing green eyes and a quiet strength, Jeb sees through Áine’s guarded smile from the start.
As her fear grows and danger creeps closer, Jeb becomes the steady presence Áine didn’t know she needed. But letting him in means revealing everything she’s fought so hard to hide.
Will Áine find the courage to trust again? Or will the past she’s running from destroy her only shot at love and a future worth fighting for?
A gripping romantic suspense filled with slow-burning chemistry, emotional healing, and a cowboy who refuses to let her go.

Starting over in Montana
Ivy Rose is a 45-year-old curvy, beautiful woman with long red hair and freckles. She seems to have a perfect life, but then the unthinkable happens, and her husband dies in a car accident. After two years of feeling lost and alone, Ivy decides to start over. She applies and gets a job as a housekeeper at Hawthorn’s Hope Ranch in Montana. She may not have much experience as a housekeeper or working on a ranch, but she has enough determination to make up for it!
With his piercing blue eyes, tanned skin, sexy voice and cowboy charm, Gabriel Hawthorn is a woman’s fantasy come to life. The 37-year-old divorcee has two children and needs a housekeeper fast. His house is a mess, he can’t cook, and he spends his time avoiding the sexual advances of his children’s nanny, Tiffany.
When Ivy and Gabriel meet for the first time, sparks fly, and Ivy literally falls into Gabriel’s arms!
Will Ivy overcome her fear of going against society and dating a younger man? Or will she walk away from her second chance at love?
