Except Sweetie doesn't want to be a rancher. She wants to be the next Dolly Parton. And she's going to achieve her dream come hell or high water...or the inability to sing her songs in front of a crowd. When her daddy suffers a heart attack, she heads home to Wilder. Before she even reaches the edge of town, she's pulled over by a sexy-but-grumpy sheriff who makes it clear she's not welcome. Since before she headed off to Nashville she broke his cousin's heart, she understands why Sheriff Decker Carson has a bone to pick. But no one tells Sweetie what she can and can't do. When she finds out her mama and daddy are losing the ranch, Sweetie decides to put her country music dreams on hold and stay to help save her beloved home—even if she has to take on a stubborn Texas lawman whose sizzling kisses make her start to wonder if she’s been following the wrong dream all along. Decker Carson has had a thing for Sweetie since first seeing her strut around the Holiday Ranch with her golden ponytail swinging and her eyes sparkling like a dew-drenched meadow. But he flat refuses to let his feelings show. Everyone in Wilder knows Sweetie has always been Jace’s girl. Jace is not only Decker’s cousin, but also the one who helped him get through the loss of both his parents. Decker is not about to break the no-kissing-cousin’s-girlfriends rule—even if Sweetie and Jace have been broken up for years. Unfortunately, when a scintillating rumor spreads through town and every cowboy in the county starts showing up on the Holiday’s front porch with flowers and marriage proposals, it’s Decker’s job as sheriff to untangle the mess. Which means spending a lot more time with the one woman he can’t resist . . . and the one girl he wants to make his own.

Lord, help the mister who comes between Texas sisters . . . The Holiday Secret Sisterhood has a strict rule: never poach on another sister’s boyfriend, past or present. Hallie Holiday has no intentions of ever breaking that rule. After watching her big sisters become love-struck fools, men don’t even make the top five of Hallie’s wish list . . . until one night when Jace Carson slips onto the barstool next to her with his sexy lopsided smile and devilish smoky-gray eyes. Suddenly, spending the night in the muscled arms of a hot hometown hero becomes more than a wish. It becomes a steamy reality. Before Hallie can finish shoving that night into her bad-bad-sister vault and throwing away the key, Jace waltzes back into town. Soon Hallie will realize there’s no way to keep a secret from a sister . . . or from your own heart. Jace Carson plans to never step foot in Wilder, Texas, again. After an injury ends his professional football career, he has no desire to witness the townsfolk’s disappointment. Or watch his cousin live happily ever after with the woman Jace had planned to marry. But desire is a funny thing. It can change at the drop of a hat. Or the drop of a pair of lace panties. Getting involved with his ex-girlfriend’s little sister is just plain stupid, especially when Hallie is a tough cowgirl who pulls no punches—literally or figuratively. But there’s something about the way she looks at him that makes him feel like less of a failure. Like he could lasso the big ol’ harvest moon . . . and make a feisty Texas girl’s dreams come true.
