Two-Five Ranch Outlaws #1
Imprisoned in a Cowboy's Heart
A Common Elements Romance Project Novel
Plunge into the first book in Mary’s Brand-new Western Romance Series—Two-Five Ranch Outlaws.
Four knife-piercing words in a frantic phone call from her mother, caused Dr. Karis Sutton to leave her cowboy in Northern Arizona to return home. While grief-stricken over a tragic loss, she’d let the man she loved slip away instead of allowing him to console her in a time of need. Now, a year later, and ready to break free from her world of gloom, she drives north to seek a second chance with the moody yet irresistible alpha-owner of the ranch. But she’s forced back to Phoenix to fight to keep two fatherless kids. While doing so, will Tanyon think she’s leaving him again and give up on any chance they might’ve had? She’s pulled in different directions. How will she make it right with so much distance between them all?
Tanyon Outlaw never thought he’d see her again. Now, she’s returned as part of the summer crew on the Two-Five Ranch. In her sad eyes, he sees straight through to her pained soul while memories of their past love invade each thought. What will it take for his cold heart to grow warm toward her again? Then, when bad things happen on the ranch, it comes in droves. Karis is called back home. A lawsuit looms over his head. Fences are cut to maim or steal his cattle. Someone else has an eye for the woman he longs to love. He’s running out of time. How can he discover why people are out to get him, while figuring out what his heart wants before he loses her forever?
Once again, Karis and Tanyon have separate, life-changing matters to attend to, so how will they keep it all together and still find a way to capture the love they once shared?

About the author
Mary J. McCoy-Dressel
19 books109 followersAuthor of sensual contemporary western romance with strong family ties, paranormal romance on occasion, and romantic fiction—sometimes writing sensual love stories with less conflict and drama--other times dramatic and sexy for a more emotional and compelling read.
Early days of reading romance novels and women's fiction laid the groundwork for me to take up the pen and write my own memorable love stories.
I admit, I'm a true "romantic at heart." Other writers have always been my inspiration.

Love the interaction between Karis and Tanyon Outlaw. They struggle to get things right and keep butting heads. Anxiously awaiting the next book in this series and hope there are many more to come.
