The Lowells of Honeywell, Texas Books

Chad Lowell and Lora O’Neil are in love, engaged to be married and happy … aren’t they? They’re in love, engaged and wildly over scheduled and over extended. There never seems to be enough time in the day for Lora to go to school, learn what she needs to run the corporation her daughter inherited, and take care of the two most important people in her world — her fiancé and her daughter. There are days when she’s not sure she’s eaten or not, much less what important things might have fallen through the cracks. Chad’s madly in love with Lora and being as patient as he can while she navigates a new world of independence, financial security and being loved by a man she can trust. Seven-year-old Mercy is his daughter in every way that matters to him but he’s eager to make their family connection permanent and secure. Into the chaos of their too busy lives comes a family emergency back in Texas. When Chad’s father is injured on the range, Chad, Lora and Mercy head for the Blue Star Ranch to pitch in with the spring round up. With the Lowell family gathering to care for each other and help on the ranch, Lora finds the direction she’s been missing. Her vicious ex stole years of her life. Now she has to catch up with the world and refocus on those she cares for. Chad and Lora fell in love on the Texas range. Maybe coming back is just what they need to find their way back together … and forward.

Brock Lowell should be at the top of his game. He’s taken control of the Blue Star Ranch in the wake of his father’s recent heart attack and has the authority to make the changes he’s been itching to make for years. He’s only got a short time to get things done. The ranch needs to be picture perfect for his brother Chad’s wedding in just a few months. But it all just serves to remind him how alone he is. He’s always been the responsible one, devoted to the ranch, but now … everything would be so much better if there was someone to share it all with. Payton Hanniford has always been around the Blue Star. She’s been his sister’s best friend since middle school, after all. And Brock still thinks of her as off-limits, pigeonholed as Cheyenne’s bestie and much too young for him. But Payton’s all grown up now, a paramedic and outstanding horsewoman – she’s no shrinking violet and she’s tired of carrying a torch for Brock Lowell. Payton realizes that it’s time she took a stand and win or lose, she’s going to make this cowboy see her as the woman she’s become … the only woman for him.

Cheyenne has too much on her table to even consider letting a man into her life, especially now that her abusive ex is out of prison and sniffing around her daughters. She’s terrified that he’s going to want to insert himself into their lives again. Sheriff Sheridan Lane was unable to rescue the beautiful Cheyenne in time seven years ago, but he’s going to do everything in his power to make sure she and her girls stay safe this time around. The best way to do that is to move them into his house where he can keep an eye on everything. His own daughter isn't wild about the prospect, but even she starts to come around. And as the attraction between he and Cheyenne builds, Sheridan wonders if he'll ever be able to let her go, because once they’re under his roof, it’s so easy to envision the temporary turning into the permanent. He vows to catch the bad guy, but what else will he have to do to prove he’s the man for Cheyenne?

Emily Lowell is in a pickle. At her Brother Chad’s wedding shower, her former lover, Jackson, has just shown her exactly how combustible they still are together. Yes, they made a pact to marry if she hadn’t found anyone else within ten years, but the pact is moot. She’s now engaged to be married to one of the hottest real estate brokers in Houston. Should she be swayed by the wild heat that Jackson stokes in her, or should she follow the path she’s planned since college? Jackson may not give her a choice…
