The town outcast buys a date with Cowboy Crossing's own A-List movie star.Ivory Haines is the daughter of the town's resident retired prostitute and possibly the town drunk, although her mother wasn't entirely certain.She resents her position in the town – and especially resents the teasing she'd been subjected to – and has vowed to show everyone that she is just as good as they are.She can hardly believe her luck when Chandler Hudson donates a month of his time to the highest bidder at the charity auction to benefit local victims of the recent tornado damage.Chandler wasn't sure what he'd been expecting when he'd offered a month of his time to charity. Maybe for a young woman to buy him and make him her one-month temporary boyfriend. Possibly his brothers would buy him and work him to death for a month. Worst case would be some elderly lady purchasing him just to decorate her dinner table with his presence for a few weeks.It never occurred to him that Ivory Haines would buy him and drag him out to her run-down, ramshackle, snake-infested bunkhouse for a month of labor on her dirt-poor farm.But as he gets to know her and sees beyond the reputation the town has given her- undeserved - he changes his focus from one of enduring to one of ensnaring.Can they put the past behind them and step into a bright new future…together? 

Can love bloom between a woman who was forced to sell herself and the man who bought her to get her ranch?Roxane Rosthchild is up for auction. Well, her and her ranch.

Her only concern now is protecting her son and making sure she keeps her independence.Boone Stryker is disillusioned and restless. Seeing a ranch, and a woman, up for auction challenges his soul and gives him a reason to live again. He risks everything he owns to win the ranch. But in order to win the lady's heart, he could lose so much more.

Claire HardingI live in Idaho. (Yes, potatoes. *eye roll* Can we talk about something else?) And I love it here. Small town values galore and it's right where I want to raise my girls after my jerk ex traded me in for a "younger, newer model" (his words, not mine).My mom's the volunteer fire chief in our town and I'm pretty happy hanging out with the auxiliary at the fire hall and doing her grunt work – NOT fighting fires, because, please, I read, love science and my idea of a lot of exercise is having to walk up the stairs twice in the morning before I send my girls off to school and leave for my job as a home nurse.I guess it's kind of weird that I also coach basketball. Long story.I was pretty happy with my life until the hot shot, all-state baller from my teen years moved back in next door. (I babysat him, yes, but I never changed his diapers. Just wanted to be clear about that.)Guess who's now the assistant b-ball coach?Logic would say me – especially since I coached my entire first year holding the play book upside down (it turned out to be an old football playbook from the '80s, so it's not like it mattered which way I held it) but the accurate answer is Trey Haywood, my all-star neighbor, and I'm honestly not sure which of us is more upset about it.Anyway, the team was trying to set us up (girls, they're such romantics) and I don't think they would have succeeded, but in celebration of breaking our 37 game losing streak, they locked Trey and me in the septic system control room.That changed everything. Not in a good way.TreyYeah. What she said.And…when I first saw her again, I thought she was a catastrophe.New thought post septic control: she's a cute catastrophe. (And, holy man, can she kiss.)

Waitress and single mother Louise Olson wouldn't have missed church to stay home with her sick daughter if she knew the congregation was going to volunteer her to head up the town's Harvest Festival. Truth be told, she didn't mind, and would have enjoyed it. The problem was Sweet Water's superstar hockey golden boy was back in town, and he had been named her co-chair. That even wouldn't be a problem except he didn't know he was a father – of her daughter.Hockey forward Ty Hanson grew up on a ranch in Sweet Water, North Dakota, but once he left for college he never went home. He wouldn't be there now except for the off-season injury his agent wanted kept secret so it didn't affect his marketability, so he was to hang out in Sweet Water, North Dakota until the season started. His first Sunday back in the church of his childhood, he gets selected as a volunteer to co-chair the Harvest Fest committee with the girl he could never forget.When Ty and Louise are forced to work together, Louise is compelled to tell Ty the secret she's kept from everyone. The attraction between them still burns strong, but Louise was on the verge of getting married and years of neglect and betrayal lie between her and her accidental summer fling. Will Ty pick up his cowboy hat and come back home? Can he convince Louise that he'll stay this time?

Can you love someone and hate them at the same time?She led him on, lied about him, then dumped him for his cousin.She was his enemy.He walked.But he loved her still.Can people change?Cora Fischer knew they could.
