Blurb: Somebody Like You
WHEN A COWBOY MEETS AN HEIRESS…
Cash Hardeman
thinks he’ll have all the time in the world to find the right woman...until he
discovers he might lose the family ranch if he’s not married by his 30th
birthday. So when Boston beauty Annelise blows into town on her Harley, Cash
can't help wondering if she's the sexy, leather-clad answer to all his
problems.
Giving her bodyguards and the paparazzi the slip, heiress Annelise Montjoy comes to Maverick Junction on a mission to help her ailing grandfather. But keeping her identity hidden in the small Texas town is harder than she expected—especially around a tempting cowboy like Cash. He’s the kind of man who makes her want to spill all her secrets. Soon Annelise starts to wonder if she’s finally found the man who can love her for herself rather than her money. But will the secrets they both keep ruin their plans to ride off into the sunset together?

Blurb: Nearest Thing to Heaven
The cowboy and the city girlSophie London hates Texas. The longhorns freak her out and the wide-open spaces are more unnerving than a Chicago alleyway at night. But Sophie wouldn’t miss her cousin’s wedding for the world—even if it means returning to Maverick Junction . . . and to the dangerously irresistible Ty Rawlins.
A single father of rambunctious triplet boys, Ty knows trouble when he sees it—and Sophie’s got it written all over her. Yet he’s never been able to stop thinking about her, after their one brief meeting. Maybe fate is giving him a second chance. But if Ty wants Sophie to swap her stilettos for cowgirl boots, they’ll each have to face the past—together.

Excerpt From Somebody Like You:
Maverick Junction #1 by Lynette Austin
“You’ve got
to be kidding me.”
Annelise
Montjoy motored her Harley along what appeared to be the town’s main street.
This was Maverick Junction?
A blue
Cadillac, surely old enough to be in a museum, was parked nose-in to the curb.
An incredibly ugly dog sat in the front seat.
Thank God,
this, the final destination of her cross-country trip from Boston, was
temporary. It looked like the kind of place you ran away from, not toward. If luck was on her side, she’d be out of
here in a couple weeks at the most.
And then a
store door opened and her breath caught. Go,
Texas! Look at that cowboy. So different from any of the men in her life.
So…intriguing. She slowed to nearly a standstill and watched as he swiped an
arm across his forehead, then dumped a grocery bag in the backseat of the old
Caddy.
Cracking open
a bottle of water, he turned his head in her direction. Her breath hitched as
his gaze ran lazily over her, her bike. Then he snagged a Styrofoam cup from
inside his car and filled it before setting it on the blistering pavement for
the dog waiting patiently beside him.
Leaning
against the faded fender, he thumbed back his battered Stetson and chugged the
rest of the water. Twisting the cap back on, he tossed the bottle into the
recycling bin beside the grocer’s door.
Annelise
pulled her bike into a parking space across the street, deliberately turning
her back on the stranger. While his clothes might have been stereotypical
cowboy—worn jeans, a faded T-shirt, cowboy boots, and hat—he took everything
from simmer to boiling point. The jeans hugged long legs, while the shirt
stretched taut across his muscled chest. There was something very alluring
about him and that surprised her. He wasn’t the kind of man she was usually
drawn to.
He shouldn’t
appeal to her.
He did.
Not so much
as a breeze stirred. The flag on the post office hung limp, and the cheerful
red, white, and blue balloons someone had hung outside a beauty salon drooped
listlessly.
Unable to
stop herself, she peeked in the bike’s rearview mirror. Cowboy was bent over,
talking to the dog. Quite a view, but she wasn’t here to admire a fine
jean-clad butt. She needed something cold to drink and something light to eat.
Then she’d go in search of Dottie Willis and the apartment she’d rented over
the Internet. Maverick Junction, Texas. Annelise wished she was driving
through, wished she could view it as simply a spot on the map where she’d
stopped for lunch one summer day.
Well, she’d
just have to work fast.
