Hollister Books

Not all scars are visibl e. Andrew Hollister knew the wounds that make a person the most vulnerable couldn’t be seen. That last mission punched his ticket home. He’d survived when most of his team hadn’t. The physical damage had mended. The mental injuries hadn’t healed as easily. Hell, they hadn’t healed at all. Once burned, twice shy. Genevieve Wheeler’s past was littered with betrayal by those closest to her and she’d sworn she’d never let anyone hurt her again. Her life was full of family, friends, and her flourishing business. The last thing she was looking for was a relationship with a broken, sexy, ranch hand. Without the past, there is no future. Just as life handed him a beautiful, vivacious reason to move forward, death came knocking once again. Facing his past was no longer something Andrew could avoid, and with Genevieve at his side, confronting the ghosts that haunted him was a battle he needed to win.

A small-town dream. Doctor Ezekiel (Zeke) Johnson’s life was fulfilling. He had a practice that kept him busy, a hometown that, despite its appearances, was far from boring, and a new job working with Guardian. He was missing one thing. A woman to love and a family of his own. A big-city problem. For Stephanie Howard returning home came at a price. One that she was still paying. The gossips in town wanted to know everything that had happened to her since she left all those years ago. She’d never share, and she’d never stop looking over her shoulder. Her past couldn’t find her here. She hoped. An impossible position. Hollister isn’t a sleepy valley. What the town lacks in population, it more than makes up for in personality… but that’s not enough to save Stephanie when her past finds her. That is something she’ll have to do herself. Upended by Stephanie’s warmth and beauty, Zeke Johnson falls head over heels with her, only to land in the middle of a web of blackmail, deceit, and drug runners that have followed her to Hollister.

Life couldn’t get any better. Declan Howard had it made. He owned the town’s only bar, and there was a vast ocean of women to choose from. All right, so perhaps vast was an overstatement. Hollister wasn’t New York City, but he was content. Footloose and fancy-free, he lived in the fast lane and loved it… until recently. Life was incredibly difficult. Melody Erikson fell for the town’s sexiest bachelor, Declan Howard. She’d been one of the few he took home more than once. One time too many, it seemed, and a surprise was on the way. The problem was Declan didn’t know the baby was his. Melody refused to trap him into a relationship by lying to him. She told him the truth, the entire truth. Life had become suddenly and irrevocably…challenging. Their lives would change forever. Declan wasn’t expecting to be a dad, but he wouldn’t run from the responsibility. He would stand by Melody and be a dad to his child. Only having a baby wasn’t the only concern he had. The men who wanted to buy his land had upped the pressure, and the danger became something local law enforcement couldn’t handle. It was time for the town to call in a favor. It was time to call in Guardian.

Trooper Samantha Quinn needed to step out of her father’s shadow—South Dakota Highway Patrol Superintendent—and make her own way. As a South Dakota State Trooper, she was doing just that.

As the only law enforcement in the area, Ken and Samantha must step into the fray.
