Earning Tia's Trust by Mariella Starr

Tia Kingston wasn’t an ordinary girl. She’d had a good life, some would say privileged until her mother died. Despised by a father who wouldn’t even look at her most of the time, Tia had never known why. She knew her mother was there to protect her. Then suddenly, she wasn’t. Thrown into a man’s world, she learned to do the chores of a rancher. She knew how to care for horses and cattle. By age twelve, she could outride and outshoot most of the men. She could fix fences and stand by when a mare needed help birthing a foal. Her only restrictions were based on her petite frame and weight, rules that were enforced by the ranch manager. By that time, her father, who was ill and a drunkard, tried to force a marriage on her. When Hayward Kingston died, Tia thought she would finally have control of her life, but nothing could have been farther from the truth.

Robert Grayson was an attorney who’d built a reputation for defending political men who he truly believed were idiots. He managed to save their reputations, although it was costly for them. Good at his job, Robert had finally reached a point where he had difficulty looking at himself in the mirror. He was successful, but this wasn’t why he’d gone to law school. When a friend from college sent him a letter about thugs invading his friend’s small town, he was interested but didn’t know what he could do about it. Reading on, Robert realized there was more going on. There was a crooked uncle, a judge who had gone rogue, and a town lawyer involved, but now missing, and was rumored to be dead. Meanwhile, a young woman had been forced out of her rightful inheritance. She’d taken her younger brother and gone into hiding. Nodding as he finished the letter, Robert wrote back immediately. He had a lot to do to untangle himself from his current job, but he would do it quickly. A young woman needed legal assistance, and he was going to Stone Falls, Texas, to help her.

Loving Nevada by Mariella Starr

Bella thought she had a perfect future planned. She had a loving boyfriend, a good job, and terrific friends. She had a home that made fairytales seem real. All her dreams were falling into place, except for a nagging little voice that snuck into her head from time to time and told her that something wasn’t right. One of the irksome voices was real. It was the stepbrother of her fiancé, but she knew he was wrong. He had to be wrong. She tried to keep those doubts buried, but sometimes they slipped through. She’d planned a perfect wedding, although nothing too extravagant, and Bella’s only concern was that her father’s wife would do something to ruin the event. Little did she know, her fiancé would be the one to destroy her future, and his stepbrother would be her saving grace.

Major Elliott McCroy had returned to La Rochelle, Georgia, to inter his mother’s ashes beside his father’s grave. An officer in the Air Force, he’d completed his mission promptly and was awaiting a service plane to fly him back to Texas. Elliott couldn’t help himself from accidentally, on purpose, running into Bella Madison. She’d been a child when he left for the Air Force Academy at eighteen, and she had blossomed into a beautiful young woman. A woman who was about to make a terrible mistake, although she refused to acknowledge it. He’d tried to talk to her, persuade her, but she was deaf to his words of caution. Short of kidnapping her, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that she would accept the truth before reality dashed and disillusioned her spirit. Should the fates align, he would find her again. And, if that happened, he would finally tell her that he loved her.
