Dear Reader,

Welcome back to Laramie, Texas, for a five-part series about a brand-new branch of the Lockhart family! Lucille Henderson Lockhart and her late husband, Frank Lockhart, both grew up on ranches in Laramie County. Now Lucille plans to return to her roots, and she wants her five children around her.

In this first story, Army physician Captain Garrett Lockhart agrees to help his mother weather a crisis at the family’s charitable foundation. But he does not agree with anything renowned scandal manager Hope Winslow wants to do!

The second book shows us that rancher Chance Lockhart is as bullheaded as the bulls he invests in. And sparks really fly when he goes toe-to-toe with rival Molly Griffin at Christmastime!

No one knows why cowboy Wyatt Lockhart and CPA-turned-riding-instructor Adelaide Smythe broke up years ago. In book three, we see there’s still a lot of history—and a set of twins—between the two of them.

In book four, cowgirl-chef Sage Lockhart returns to Laramie determined to retain her legendary independence, only to fall hard for Western-wear store owner Nicholas Monroe.

And finally, in book five Special Forces soldier Zane Lockhart believes in duty, honor and country above all else, but when he goes after retired fellow military officer Nora Caldwell, he finds much more is expected.

I hope you enjoy reading this series as much as I loved writing it.

Happy reading!
