Cowboy Brothers in Arms

He's Emerald Creek's hottest cowboy-and the one man she shouldn't want. On the surface, Egan Donnelly is hometown hero material-top gun, commanding an elite fighter training squadron and ranching royalty. Inside, he feels like a fraud, convinced he's responsible for his best friend's death. At least he won't let himself succumb to the heat between him and Jack's widow, Alana. Yet. Now that she's making regular trips to his ranch to care for his dad, that vow is getting harder to keep. Alana Davidson isn't just grieving her husband's loss, she's feeling betrayed over his secret infidelity. Wanting Egan makes things even more complicated. As a nutritionist, she can help Egan's dad recover from his health scare, but it's not so easy to get her own heart back on track. Because despite shared guilt and family pressure, she's falling fast, and Egan is right there with her...

Even a real-life hero needs a little healing sometimes. Air Force test pilot Blue Donnelly has the greatest job in the world until his F-22 crashes during a demonstration flight, leaving him with a busted knee and a ton of guilt. Then horse whisperer Marin Galloway walks into his hospital room, snapping him out of self-pity with a shock of desire and some surprising news: her six-year-old ward thinks Blue is his daddy. Marin reassures Blue that Leo isn't really his son, much as the little boy wishes it. But right now, Leo needs a father figure, and Blue is willing to help. Landing a job tending horses at the Donnelly ranch makes it even hard for her to resist this hot, hurting cowboy. But is he ready to let her help him discover a new dream that they can pursue together?
