Collection Includes:
Rough Edges
Divorced mother, Allie Emerson, never imagined she'd be raising two teenage girls on her own. Between parenting and paying the bills, she hasn't even thought about meeting a man. That changes once she hears local carpenter, Braden Fox, needs a secretary. Back in high school, Allie had done all she could to deny the sparks burning between her and Braden; but would the chemistry still be there after all this time?
Braden has heard all about what Terrance did to Allie and the girls, has been planning to stop by and see how she's getting along, but Allie beats him to it by showing up at his shop in search of a job. Her unexpected visit reignites the old flame Braden used to torch for her; trouble is, old feelings of resentment return as well. Allie did choose Terrance over him, after all. And as much as Braden wants Allie in his life, he's not sure he can open his heart to her again.
With this second chance at romance, are the
bumps in their relationship too much to get over,
or will this carpenter learn to smooth out the past?
The Unlikely Bride
Trent Lockheart might be the new sheriff in town, but he can't stop Jessie Jean from stealing his heart.
*THIS BOOK WAS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS THE SHERIFF'S BRIDE*
Sheriff Trent Lockheart knew he'd be in for a challenge when he moved from the big city and a large police force to the small Wyoming town of Cobble Creek. But at least he'd be able to stick to his bachelor ways without temptation. So he thought. Cobble Creek isn't overflowing with young, single ladies, but Jessie Jean--the gorgeous woman who runs the Country Quilt
Inn--proves more tempting than any he's known.
Jessie doesn't care much for the new sheriff in town. After an explosive first meeting that almost ends in Jessie's arrest, she's even more determined to plan on dinner for one for the rest of her life. Sure, the new sheriff is seriously attractive, and after a second, much less dangerous run-in, he might not be that bad, but Jessie has no plan to marry, date, or even let a man into her life. Still, as the days pass, Trent's surprising charm works past Jessie's determination, and she finds promise in their budding relationship.
After opening up about the difficulties in her past, Jessie finds that Trent is guarding a dark tragedy of his own, one that might threaten their chance at a future together.
Her Gun-Shy Cowboy

Terrific intro to this author
Kimberly Krey’s well-written stories have lovable, complex characters who we go through struggles with together. Sure, they make some mistakes, but that’s life. Appealing storylines that move at a perfect pace, so you just can’t put it down. Good moral values but still amorous without graphic sex or bad language.
This book set will leave you wanting more!
