Taming The Heart by Elliott Rose turns up the heat in a steamy cowboy romance where temptation rides in on dusty boots and absolutely refuses to leave. Set on a working ranch for the summer, this third Crimson Ridge story delivers forbidden love, small-town tension and the delicious ache of wanting what you shouldn’t. Sage Maloney has always been the untameable type—until a new job lands her under the watch of Beau Heartford, a former pro bull rider with the kind of quiet confidence that makes rules feel negotiable. Their chemistry is instant, complicated, and impossible to laugh off, especially when Sage realises her boss isn’t just off-limits—he’s married. Perfect for readers who love ranch romance, boss/employee sparks, high spice, and emotionally charged slow-burn yearning with sharp edges. Add it to your cart and head back to Crimson Ridge for one more risky, can’t-look-away love story.

Dove by Paisley Hope is the second instalment in a motorcycle dark romance series that delivers danger, heat and the kind of emotional grit romance readers savour. Set against the small-town gloss of Harmony, Georgia, it’s a story for anyone who likes their love stories sharp-edged and suspenseful. Layla Monroe has spent years playing the perfect daughter, but after her parents are killed in suspicious circumstances, that neat life cracks wide open. When Sean “Ax” Hunter, the enigmatic sergeant-at-arms of the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club, offers her a path to the truth, Layla takes it—because walking away won’t bring answers. As the investigation pulls them closer, attraction turns into something darker and harder to resist, with real consequences on and off the road. Perfect for readers who love MC romance, romantic suspense, morally grey heroes and a fierce heroine chasing freedom. Add Dove to your shelf and see just how far Layla will go for the truth.

Tempt Me, Cowboy by Clare Connelly is a contemporary Western romance set under the wide skies of Northern Arizona, where hard work, family loyalty and desire collide. If you like your love stories emotional, a little steamy, and rooted in real stakes, Coyote Creek Ranch is an addictive place to start. Beth Tasker arrives at the ranch needing safety and a clean break, taking a bookkeeping job that offers stability—if she can keep her past from finding her. Cole Donovan has enough on his plate with the ranch’s financial troubles, yet he can’t ignore the new bookkeeper’s quiet resilience or the questions she refuses to answer. Perfect for readers who love cowboy romance, found family, small-town vibes and healing after trauma, with a protective hero and a strong heroine learning to trust again. Take a chance on Coyote Creek Ranch and see where the desert air leads.

**Chasing the Fire** by **Paisley Hope** turns up the heat in a small-town cowboy romance where comfort collides with craving, and every choice comes with consequences. Set in Laurel Creek and the world of Silver Pines Ranch, this finale delivers tender found-family vibes alongside seriously smouldering chemistry. Olivia Sutton is the town sweetheart who knows how to keep life neat: her boutique, her cat, and a safe kind of love. Fire chief Asher Reed is the opposite—controlled, watchful, and shaped by a past he won’t share. When a fire upends Olivia’s home, Asher helps her land on the ranch, and an unexpected pregnancy pulls them into each other’s orbit as “just friends”… until restraint stops being an option. Perfect for readers who love spicy romance, small-town drama, protective heroes, and a dash of family secrets—especially fans of Elsie Silver and Lucy Score. Add it to your cart and settle in for one last, deliciously heated visit to Silver Pines Ranch.

In **Fever Dream by Elsie Silver**, a sharp, swoony **small-town romance** collides with the manufactured drama of a reality dating show set on a struggling ranch. It’s the first in the Emerald Lake Western romance series, perfect if you like chemistry that sparks in the worst possible circumstances. Pro bull rider Emmett Bush signs on as the leading man for *Romance Ranch* for one reason only: money to keep his family farm afloat. Love isn’t on the agenda—until Julia Silva arrives as the show’s location consultant. She’s quick-witted, unimpressed by Emmett’s reputation, and deeply off-limits as the sister of his fiercest rival. Forced into close quarters, their rivalry turns into something dangerously tender, hidden from the cameras and complicated by Emmett’s contract and Julia’s determination to avoid relationships. Ideal for readers who love **forbidden romance**, rivals-to-lovers tension, Western settings, and reality TV vibes. Add it to your TBR and see what Emerald Lake does best.
