Six Pack Ranch

Blake Coleman is old enough to know that acting on impulse causes nothing but a heap of trouble. But when trouble's a western-hat-wearing blonde with slim legs that go on forever, what's a man to do? Wanting the sweet girl next door is just wrong. The responsible thing to do is keep his hands off. Jaxi has other plans for Blake's hands - and his heart. She may have once considered him a big brother, but that was a long time ago.

Beth Danube's emotionally abusive husband is dead and buried. So is her heart. It's no big deal, she has all she wants: her three little boys and a fresh start in a small Alberta town. What she doesn't want is another man in her life-not now, maybe not ever. After ten years of unsatisfactory, missionary-position sex, she never expected her libido to reawaken. One look at sex-in-boots Daniel Coleman in a Calgary bar, though, blows the dust off her sexuality. Sensing an edge of desperation, even fear, beneath Beth's come-on, Daniel finds himself giving in to the powerful urge to let his normally subdued desires run wild.

Matt Coleman always figured that at this point in his life, he'd be settled down with a family. Since his ex split for the big city, though, no way will he give anyone else the chance to drop-kick his heart. Physical pleasure? Hell, yeah, he'll take - and give - with gusto, but nothing more. Hope Meridan is working long hours to hold on to her new quilt shop, going it alone since her sister/business partner ran off. Sex? Right, like she's got the time. Not that she doesn't have the occasional dirty fantasy about Matt.

Allison Parker needs a convincing excuse to come home to Rocky Mountain House, a hopelessly romantic reason that won't let her mother suspect the truth - that Allison has discovered Mom is keeping a terrible secret from the family. Gabe Coleman is struggling with two of the roughest parts of ranching: dealing with his bull-headed mule of a father and making enough to pay the bills. When his old friend Allison offers to help him develop his ideas for organic ranching - in return for pretending to be her fiancé - it sounds like the perfect set-up.

Vicki Hansol made different choices than her less-than-reputable mom and sister, yet her fiery temper has left her branded with the same town-bad-girl label. When she desperately needs a change of scenery, her get-out-of-town-free ticket arrives - and requires that she face down one of her deepest fears. Easygoing Joel Coleman has nothing to complain about, but he's never really done anything to brag about either.

Over the past year, Travis Coleman lost the two people he allowed closest to his heart. Both gave him ultimatums, then left. Hell if he needs that kind of pain again. It's time to move forward without the friends he thought might save him from his dangerous cravings. But when Ashley Sims returns to Rocky Mountain House, her rambling lifestyle isn't all she's hoping to change. She hasn't given up on Travis. When Travis shows up on Cassidy Jones' turf with sensually uninhibited Ashley, passions flare.

It took a spectacularly embarrassing break-up to knock Steve Moonshine Coleman off his lazy butt. In the 10 months since that night he's changed his ways. Now that Melody's back in town, it's time for this sweet-talking cowboy to convince her to get back in the saddle with him. Melody issues a challenge: Three months to prove he's reformed. three months of Steve orchestrating one sexual indulgence after another.

Eight months ago, Lee Coleman met the woman of his dreams... then lost her to another man. He buried his disappointment by throwing himself into work on the family ranch, but when a winter storm leaves him stranded, Lee finds more than shelter in the rustic safety of a hunter's cabin - he finds a second shot at love.

To escape the hell she was trapped in, Becky left everything behind but her courage. And for once in her life, good people step up to make a difference - a helping hand, a new job...a very attentive and libido-stroking neighbor. Now a new future awaits, one that shockingly includes sexual pleasure instead of icy pain and a sexy cowboy who's more than eager to show her the ropes.

Raphael (Angel) Coleman and Laurel Sitko were thick as thieves throughout their school years. The unlikely friendship between the rancher's son and the preacher's daughter might have gone unnoticed by most, but their shared laughter and connection were the best parts of Rafe's life growing up. Now that she's returned to Rocky, he's eager to move from friend to something far more intimate.

Too stubborn to face his sins, Jesse Coleman bolted from the Six Pack Ranch only to fall straight into the arms of a beautiful stranger. Twelve hours later the seductive firebrand is nothing but a whiskey-laced memory - but one powerful enough to convince Jesse tracking down his elusive lover is worth the effort.

Years ago, Mark Coleman made the only possible choice and left Rocky Mountain House before he tore his family apart. When he hears the four clans - Six Pack, Whiskey Creek, Moonshine, and Angel - are working together to create a memory book, Mark also discovers the one detail that finally triggers his return. Because he’s not just coming back to the family. Now that Dana is free and ready to move on, Mark plans to give the only woman he’s ever loved all the devotion and happiness she deserves, no matter how much sweet-talking - or dirty talk - it takes.
