Austin Tanner is ready to settle down and marry, but as the bounty hunter works his last case, he receives an unexpected surprise when a woman who is bent on revenge takes him prisoner. Strange, how this little slip of a woman would make him forget that he'd order a mail-order bride and would be married soon.

Eleanor Lawson wants her father's murder solved, and she'll do anything she has to... even forcing the bounty hunter who had worked the case to find the killer. She hadn't planned on being attracted to Austin, and she especially didn't except to have so much fun while working with him to track down the criminal.All Rights Reserved

The Way We Fell by Oliver_Collins

In Willow Ridge, secrets don't stay buried - they ride shotgun. Grayson Blake's reputation is the kind you earn the hard way: fists, fire, and the kind of silence that leaves people wondering what you're hiding. Aubrey James is the sheriff's daughter - and a rebel with something to prove. They were never supposed to speak again, not after that night. But when fate throws them back together under the buzz of a gas station light, one dare turns into a joyride that flips both their worlds. Now, with her father closing in and a long-forgotten crime coming back to haunt Grayson, their reckless romance becomes more than just late-night drives and stolen kisses. It's survival. It's escape. And it's the kind of love that could either save them - or destroy them. Because in a town like Willow Ridge, falling in love isn't just dangerous... it's criminal.
