New Releases
Wild Horses by Bethany Campbell, Crystal Creek

Nothing could make Michele Nightingale betray the only family she's ever known. So when Adam Duran shows up--an uninvited stranger bearing bad news--at the Circle T, she wants nothing to do with him. But he insists on speaking with ranch owner Carolyn Trent.

Since Carolyn's away, Mickey has to play host. She's horrified to learn who Adam is and what he wants. But the more she gets to know Adam, the more his story touches her. She finds herself torn between her loyalty to the Trents and the sympathy--and undeniable attraction--she's beginning to feel toward Adam. And then there are the horses...

A Mother's Vow by K.N. Casper, Women in Blue

There's corruption in the Houston PD, and because Catherine Tanner is the Chief of Police, it's her problem. Did her husband, a man of color, die of natural causes, or was he murdered? Why has her daughter chosen to become a nun? And what about the missing uranium? Has it fallen into the hands of terrorists? Catherine has to go outside her department to find the answers. Unfortunately the only one she can trust is the cop she fired from the force last year.

Women in Blue--Six female cops battling crime and corruption on the streets of Houston. 
Together they can fight the blue wall of silence. But divided, will they fall?

Home to Family by Ann Evans, Heart of the Rockies

Family means everything...

To Leslie Meadows, the warm, close-knit D'Angelo family is everything a family should be. Everything her own family wasn't.  But the D'Angelos are facing difficult times, and when Dr. Matt D'Angelo comes home for Christmas, Leslie hardly recognizes the troubled man who'd been her best friend since he'd defended her in the sixth grade. Suddenly Leslie feels like an outsider...

Then Matt uncovers a secret about her that his father has kept for decades. Once again, he's there to help her deal with the truth. Only, this time they're becoming more than best friends. And the rest of the D'Angelos are looking forward to making her an official member of the family.
