Big Sky Country (Wilk)

On the anniversary of her sister's murder, Calista Hartman returns to Backwater, MT. She'd rather be anywhere else. She left the town, its memories, and the only man she'd ever loved behind years ago. Sheriff Gage Ryker believes official procedures and rules are the only way to keep his town, his family, and his heart safe. But now Calista has come home, and the rules have changed. Calista and Gage will have to work together to solve a string of robberies. But gunfire shattered trust long ago, and more lives will suffer if they don't move forward and leave the past behind.

Tara Haden is fleeing from her abusive ex-husband. As Ryker Ranch's new massage therapist, she hopes to blend in and build a better life, but her plans go off course when she meets Kace Ryker. He awakens desires that dare her to step out of the shadows, desires better abandoned. Kace was born to race cars, but a crash has left him injured and grounded from racing. Tara and her massages give him hope for another lap around the track, but she has the power to distract him from the thing he wants most. When two people run from the truth, they just might pass by the one thing they never expected to find-love.

Maeve Barnes's life fell apart right when she thought she had succeeded. Her father died, and her dream career was canceled. To make matters worse, she's back in her hometown, unable to avoid the man whose heart she undid. Lock Ryker loves his ranch and his family. He doesn't have time for additional ties. Certainly not the woman who broke his heart, but he must deal with her when she becomes a guest at the ranch. While Maeve and Lock are forced to work together to help a little boy navigate his future, they trip over secrets buried with old wounds. Secrets that make them reevaluate the definition of love. What they believe to be true may in fact be a lie.
