Hometown
Girl
Lauren Van Horn, a big-city environmental lawyer, isn’t as tough as people think
she is, or as content with her life as she pretends. So when her sister Becca
begs Lauren’s help in dealing with a personal crisis, Lauren puts her busy schedule
on hold and arrives in small-town San Rafael, Utah, smack dab in the middle
of beautiful red rock country. She comes out of love and loyalty, and a desire
to reconnect with the family she hardly knows anymore. But she doesn’t expect
the presence of Gabe Randolph.
The secret love of Lauren’s teenage years, Gabe has also returned to town—this time as an oil producer whose ideas about the environment clash with Lauren’s. Her sudden, intense attraction to the fully-grown up Gabe throws her emotions into chaos. And as Lauren becomes embroiled in a fight to save a pristine wilderness area, she also struggles to make sense of her deepening feelings for Gabe… and to see with new eyes possibilities for happiness that might lie as close as her own backyard.

Catch
a Dream
Zack Burkhart has more than his share of troubles. In the difficult year since his wife’s death, his valuable llamas have suffered a series of mysterious accidents, and his small son Robby keeps climbing to high, dangerous places to be closer to his mama in heaven. Zack doesn’t think things can get much worse – until Meg Delaney crosses his path.
Abandoned by her boyfriend at a Yellowstone trailhead, without money or ID, Meg finds that being rescued by Zack offers unexpected pleasures. When she goes home with him and accepts a job on his Idaho ranch, she finds solace in his rambunctious animals and young son. But as the livestock "accidents" escalate and Meg’s efforts to help Zack backfire, she realizes that her taste of paradise should have come with warning labels. Worst of all, she’s fallen for Zack, and he’s clearly not ready to reciprocate.
With her own murky past threatening to overtake her, Meg knows she should return to her job designing fantasy computer games in Salt Lake City, leaving Zack to solve his own problems. Instead, she throws caution to the Idaho sky ... and sets out to catch a dream.
"A terrific debut with a book that is touching and
charming."
