Bio

Saddled with Finesse

Reese

It was just supposed to be a welcome home party.

A few drinks to celebrate my temporary return.

Then, he showed up…

Cory Whitfield.

I don’t have time for any of his complications when I have so many of my own.

If only my body could remember that.

When he offers to take me home after one too many blue-colored mixed drinks, I try to resist him…

I really do.

Somehow, we end up sharing a kiss that makes me break all my rules.

My past is dark and my future is even more murky. Someone who I thought would make my dreams come ​true proved to me that relationships are only worth what they can give you.

Getting involved with Cory is dangerous for both of us. But, he showed me that what I thought about ​relationships are all wrong.

Can I protect him from what haunts me and keep the love he’s shown me when my past won’t stay behind ​me?

Cory

All I wanted was a fresh start.

I’m tired of trying to be everywhere at once.

My sons deserve more and I’m going to give that to them.

My aunt wants me to stay with her in Alpenglow Ridge for the summer and try to pursue my dream of ​owning my own landscaping company.

My first contract is with a cattle ranch. It’s going to be my ticket to gaining the trust of other potential ​clients in this town.

Everything was going well until I met the angel that saw me more clearly than any person has in years…

Reese Mason.

She is out of my league. Stunning and sexy beyond measure.

She is the type of woman who makes men lose their minds.

Her reputation is hard to escape but I can’t believe those rumors.

This woman is not like anyone I’ve ever known.

Just one kiss and I’m sure.

I’ll do anything to keep her.

Will my love for Reese be enough to save her from her past?

Verse to Acclimate

Melody

I am no stranger to loss. I thought that was all life had to offer me…

Until I met my best friend’s brother who showed me how love could heal what’s broken. When I was with ​him, everything was always better. He understood me. He loved me. I shared more with him than I have ​with anyone else before.

When I lost the boy who showed me what passion was, I knew I could never love like that again.

I’m different now. I’ve learned to protect myself more fiercely. My life had become a cycle of running from ​one confrontation to the next so I couldn’t get hurt.

Now, they call him Country Music’s Next Star. Years later, Tyson Abrams has returned to Alpenglow ​Ridge, if only for a weekend.

I’m forced to choose between forgiving the past and exposing my truth or resisting the connection we’ve ​always had.

I refuse to give him my heart again.

I might succeed, but he already has all the broken pieces in his grasp.

Tyson

She loved me when no one believed in me.

She was my only supporter who encouraged me to step onto a stage and show the world that my talent was ​worth hearing. I achieved my dreams and my fame is steadily growing.

How did I repay her? By leaving her lonely and lost.

A fact I carried heavily in my heart when she paid me back in kind.

Years later, I still want Alpenglow Ridge’s sweetheart. Words aren’t enough to make up for the time I lost ​with her. I intend to prove to her that my heart has always been in her delicate hands.

Returning to my hometown to perform at a friend’s engagement party was not where I expected to see ​Melody again. When I get a chance to make things right with her—I take it.

The only problem is... Success comes at a price, and my payment is coming due.
