Nuages et Pluie, numéro hors série

Tim Conroy a de la patience. Depuis trois ans, il attend que son ami Rory McCown sorte de prison, après une condamnation pour un vol de chevaux commis au ranch Blue River.

Aussitôt, Tim se donne pour objectif de convaincre son ami et patron, le rancher Hunter Krause, d’offrir à Rory une deuxième chance.

Quand Hunter accepte, Tim le regrette presque : Rory a changé. À certains moments, il se montre morose et renfermé, à d’autres, arrogant et trop présomptueux. Pourtant, l’attraction est toujours aussi forte entre eux. Malheureusement, dès qu’ils commencent à se rapprocher, un ennemi acharné œuvre dans l’ombre, prêt aux plus sombres machinations pour les séparer…

Leur relation encore fragile sera-t-elle assez forte pour résister aux tempêtes à venir ?

William Drake führt ein ganz normales Leben – er hat einen Job, einen Hund und ein Haus am Lake Superior – bis ein panischer Anruf seiner nichtsnutzigen Schwester Katrina, die ihn um Hilfe bittet, sein ganzes Leben aus der Bahn wirft. Und wie um zu beweisen, dass jede gute Tat im Leben belohnt wird, wird Wills Ankunft auf der Ranch von Katrinas Verlobtem Martin in Montana von einem geplatzten Reifen begleitet. Will erhält Hilfe von einem großen, gutaussehenden und geheimnisvollen Samariter, der sich wenig später als Elijah Hunter herausstellt, Martins Bruder, und der am meisten verwirrende, beunruhigende Mann, den Will je getroffen hat.

Elijahs kochende Wut über Katrinas schändliche Pläne erstreckt sich auch auf Will, und er verlangt, dass Will so lange auf der Ranch bleibt, bis die Angelegenheit geklärt ist. Will kann zwar Katrinas Platz einnehmen, aber Elijah macht es ihm nicht leicht und stellt Will bei jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit auf die Probe. Doch dann gelingt es Will, Elijahs Ansprüche mit seinen kompromisslosen Moralvorstellungen noch zu übertreffen.

Die gegenseitige Anziehungskraft zwischen den beiden Männern wächst, wird aber durch ein Ultimatum Elijahs kompliziert: Er will, dass Katrina den Ehevertrag einhält – es sei denn, Will stimmt zu, Elijah zu heiraten.

Storie della prateria: Libro 5

Marty Green ama solo due cose: i cavalli e il basket. Un ictus durante il primo anno di università gli mette però i bastoni fra le ruote. Dopo mesi in ospedale, trascorsi a guarire sotto l’ala dei suoi genitori iperprotettivi, Marty si rende conto di avere bisogno di stare da solo. Quando un buon amico del suo medico gli offre un lavoro nel suo ranch, lui accetta con gioia.

Quando l’assistente veterinario Quinn Knepper vede Marty, il suo cuore manca un battito. È un colpo di fulmine. Anche Marty sembra interessato a lui, per quanto sia timido. Ci sono solo due problemi: il padre di Quinn vuole che lui tenga nascosta la propria sessualità e quello di Marty è un senatore omofobo che non sa che suo figlio è gay, cosa di cui Quinn viene a conoscenza quando l’uomo propone un emendamento costituzionale che proibisce il matrimonio omosessuale.

Due famiglie ostili sono un grande ostacolo, ma Quinn è intenzionato a costruire qualcosa di serio. Purtroppo, questo significa mettere in pausa la propria vita mentre Marty cerca di superare il proprio blocco emotivo, salvo che, naturalmente, non decida di sacrificare la propria felicità in nome dell’ambizione politica di suo padre e termini la loro relazione prima ancora che abbia inizio.

Blair Montague is sent to Newton, Montana, to purchase a ranch and some land for his father. It’s a trip he doesn't want to make.

When he inherits his father’s ranch, he discovers his father wasn't a good manager and the ranch is in trouble. The sale of land would put them back on good footing, but he is suspicious of Blair’s father’s motives, and with good reason.

Una storia della serie Una buona causa

Jerry Lincoln ha un problema: il suo lavoro di consulente informatico a Sioux Falls è troppo per una persona sola. Fortunatamente, questo significa che può permettersi di assumere dei dipendenti. Jerry spera solo che il suo nuovo assunto, John Black Raven, sia più un aiuto che una distrazione, però è questo l’effetto che gli fanno i suoi occhi scuri e i suoi capelli lunghi.

Sei mesi fa, sua sorella è morta e i suoi nipoti sono stati dati in affidamento. Pur avendo la legge dalla sua parte, John non riesce a ottenerne la custodia: non può neppure vederli.

Quando Jerry e John cominciano ad avvicinarsi, John scopre di non essere da solo nella sua lotta. Jerry lo aiuta a ottenere il diritto di far visita ai bambini e gli sta accanto quando lui ne ha bisogno. Ma anche se vincono qualche battaglia, è difficile vincere la guerra: i servizi sociali sono coinvolti in un giro di denaro, politica e favoritismi, e i bambini nativi sono il loro pane quotidiano. Ma John e Jerry hanno tutta l’intenzione di combattere per una giusta causa e di vincere – su tutti i fronti.
