Four sweet and steamy instalove, small town romances with a dash of humor:
One Shot with the Soldier:
Seth (H36), former Army sharpshooter, spies Baylee (h24) at his godson’s birthday party and instantly fall for the curvy younger woman. He feels that he’s undeserving of the hope that offers him, but she works her way behind his reserved nature. Sweet instalove military romance quickie with a side of heat.
One Oath by the Officer:
Hollywood actress Savanna hopes for a solo weekend getaway only for her plans to take an unexpected turn when she's stopped by Officer Robbie Carson in the small town of Ravish Ridge. Despite her attempts at charm, Robbie detains her for a busted taillight, speeding, and an expired license. As Savannah finds herself in a jail cell, Robbie is captivated by her sass and beauty. The encounter, initially meant to be a brief detainment, evolves into a night that sparks an undeniable connection. Robbie, a single dad with a commitment to his oath, discovers that Savannah's presence not only dazzles him but also captivates his son, Aaron. As they navigate through unexpected twists, including a broken-down cabin and an agent's visit, Savannah and Robbie grapple with the possibility of a future together. Hot and steamy small town quickie romance with a side of humor.
One Hassle for the Handyman:
Callie (h), a struggling accountant, faces the daunting task of saving her family's ranch. In a stroke of luck, Thad (H), a strong and silent handyman, moves in next door, seemingly equipped with more tools than furniture. Despite Callie's hopes of finding a solution to her predicament, Thad initially rejects her proposal with a tempting smile. However, drawn to Callie's persistence, he agrees to help with the ranch renovations. Callie sees an opportunity to save the family ranch by turning its cabins into vacation rentals, and Thad becomes the key to making her plan a reality. As Thad and Callie work together on the cabin project, things heat up between the two. Thad, sworn off women, finds himself unable to resist Callie's charm, and Callie, with her family's ranch on the line, discovers more than just a handyman in Thad. Hot and steamy small town, opposites attract romance with a dash of humor.
One Challenge for the Cowboy:
Hardworking cowboy Noah (H) reluctantly agrees to host a wedding on his ranch for some much-needed cash. Grace (h) a determined wedding planner with a penchant for flawless celebrations, finds herself organizing a destination wedding at a Noah's working ranch in Ravish Ridge. Noah is initially skeptical of Grace as a fish out of water on his land, but soon finds himself captivated by Grace's charm and dedication. As Grace navigates the challenges of her assignment, she discovers a distracting attraction to Noah, a brooding cowboy with a rare smile. Despite their differences, their connection grows, and Noah realizes he may have found his better half. As Grace's stay in Ravish Ridge unfolds, both face unexpected feelings and a connection that goes beyond the wedding plans, forcing Grace to contemplate a new life in the small town with Noah or her bustling city existence in California. Sweet and spicy opposites attract quickie romance with humor.
