When opposites attract, the sparks ignite more than they bargained for…

Dylan Tehauno is a hotshot, an expert in preventing and fighting forest fires. He knows that the inferno that killed a tech billionaire was no accident—and he suspects that he and filmmaker Meadow Wrangler were supposed to die, too. When lawmakers identify Dylan as a prime suspect, he and Meadow decide to find the real arsonist themselves.

Dylan and Meadow have nothing in common. He's a proud Apache and a war hero, a self-made man. She's a rich girl with a tabloid past. But there's no denying the heat between them. Is there more to their attraction than physical desire? Will they survive long enough to find out?


Danger abounds as we’re drawn into a volatile situation from the start of this story, and taken along on a wild ride of racing to catch the bad guys before they manage to silence them in any way possible! We see many familiar faces from the past stories in this series, and head towards the finish line of getting the answers they’ve been searching for since the Lilac Mine massacre.

Filmmaker Meadow Wrangler has spent most of her adult life as tabloid fodder. She’s rich and spoiled and has been made to feel that she doesn’t match up all of her life, so she goes with the flow and makes sure if she’s going to go down as gossip, it’s going to be exciting! When she meets Apache Dylan Tehauno, sparks fly … in more ways than one!

Lucky for her, Dylan is an experienced hotshot and able to get them to safety when an inferno breaks out! After fighting for their safety, they learn they are the prime suspects for the blaze! Will the connections he has with his tribe be enough to keep them safe until they can find the proof they need to clear their names?

This is more than just a case…

Every instinct Oscar Guzman honed in the military and the police academy is telling him that Shelley Brubaker is hiding something. It's not just a secret; he's sure of that. It's something darker, more dangerous. And the only way to protect her is to convince her to open up to him. But Shelley isn't about to let him get that close. Oscar knows that with her con-man ex still at large and probably threatening her, Shelley is suspicious of everyone. But he also knows that at eight months pregnant with a toddler to raise, she's in no shape to fight this battle alone. And he's not about to let her!


A drama filled story that keeps us guessing on what’s going to happen, and throws a few surprises in the mix that we weren’t expecting at all!

Shelley Brubaker’s ex has been causing trouble for her for months now, and just when she thinks it can’t get any worse, there he goes again! She’s so pregnant she’s about ready to pop, taking care of a toddler, and just trying to keep her head above water long enough to get things done and provide a peaceful life for these kids … what does she have to do to catch a break around here?

Oscar Guzman wants info from Shelley about her ex, and if he has to make friends with her to get it, he will … only he doesn’t expect to become emotionally invested in her as well … even when he just knows she’s lying to him and withholding evidence!

It was finally happening! Mia James was about to lead her first reality show. But when the beauty with sapphire eyes gets wind that her ex would be involved in the project, her sister suggests that she levels the playing field with a fake boyfriend…

Enter Wishing Well’s wild heart throb, Travis Briggs, who’s more than happy to fill the role and so much more for Mia. Ever since he laid eyes on her, the cowboy knew his world would never be the same…

What started out as pretend will turn very real when emotions and desires can no longer be denied in…Taming Travis…


A fun delve back into Wishing Well, Texas! I didn’t get drawn in to Mia and Travis quite as much as I have his sibling’s stories, but I enjoyed them none-the-less … and it’s always a pleasure to see the old characters again as their lives move forward.  Looking forward to more to come!

Mia James has come to Wishing Well to lead her first reality tv show! She’s really excited and raring to go … until she realizes her ex (who is also her boss) is coming to town to interfere in HER project. She desperately needs a distraction to draw some attention away from the past.

Travis to the rescue! Heartthrob Travis Briggs has been breaking hearts all over town, but he knew one day he’s find “the one” and the minute Mia walks into the room, he knows he’s found her. He just has to convince her of that!
