This wealthy rancher is about to meet his match…and her two little secrets!

Colt Elliott is as handsome as he is cunning. And he wants his neighbor's ranch. So when the owner's beautiful daughter begs him to save her family's home, he gives her a job so she can pay off her debt…and he becomes consumed with a new goal: seduce the fiery virgin.

But Annabelle is the guardian of her infant twin nieces and all three ladies begin to pull at his heartstrings. Colt will go to any lengths to get what he wants—but will his hidden agenda cost him Annabelle?

Webs of deception bring this story to life as the heroine suffers one betrayal after another from the people she loves most and yet keeps finding a way to get back up and move forward. Kicking off “The Rancher’s Heirs” series, Jules Bennett draws us in immediately with the sorrow we are feeling for this woman who is struggling to pick up the pieces of her life, and she continues to take us on a ride of romance, laughter and happily-ever-afters! She sets the stage well for the future stories, and leaves us ready to jump into Nolan & Pepper’s story! I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Rancher Colt Elliott enjoys his life and the fruits of all of the labor he’s put into it. He learned well from his father and has gone on to run the ranch well in his absence, but now he wants to prove to himself and everyone else that he can do more than just hold his own … he wants to grow and prosper! He needs his neighbor’s land to do so, so he’s happy to set up a sweet situation that hands it to him!

Annabelle Carter is coming home to Stone River, TX with her infant twin nieces newly in her care. She has been hit with a lot in her young life and just wants to be able to fulfill her dreams and live a good life for a change. When she learns her father has put her plans in jeopardy once again, she’ll do anything to keep from losing their house and land to the wealthy neighbor … even take a job as a ranch hand for Cole Elliott himself to pay back the money her father borrowed!

Neither want to give up on their dream, but they are both wishing for it on the same land. As they spend time together and actually start to like each other, it makes for an awkward situation with all of the secrets floating around. Will Colt realize before it’s too late that he wants this ready-made family for his very own?

As a second generation detective, Nathan Carter is a cop, through and through, one who definitely sees things in black and white. But his work ethic—and libido—are thrown off balance when he heads up the case against jewel thief, Regan Malloy. Because with one sizzling look, she’s got him hot and hard. And he’s been that way, ever since.

Growing up, Regan’s favorite hobby was learning to crack safes, and she was very, very good at it. Still, she’d always tried to keep to the straight and narrow, and only strayed when she believed a friend was in desperate straits. Now she’s out of prison and starting over. If only she could forget that she’d spent the last three years fantasizing about the stunningly gorgeous detective who locked her away.

It’s inevitable that they meet up again—in bars, hotels…and hotel beds. Despite their differences, they can’t keep their hands off each other. Still, it’s just desire. If they give it enough time, it’ll burn itself out. Because a good boy and a bad girl can’t possibly make it work. Can they?

Loved this book! There was just something about the simple, raw connection between these two characters that really got to me. He was lonely and needing comfort, she was distancing herself from those she loved most and hanging adrift … but together they felt right. It’s majorly steamy, fun with a side of sass, and a pleasure to read!

Regan Malloy grew up in a family where cracking safes and picking locks was just something you learned. She didn’t set out to live the life that her family did, but when faced with a friend in need, she agrees to do just one job .. and gets caught. Now freshly out of prison, she is trying to start over and get her life on track for the future that she wants … if only she didn’t keep lusting after the detective that put her away!

Detective Nathan Carter didn’t forget Regan after she was locked up … in fact, she was a regular visitor to his nightly fantasies! His life is adrift right now, and he finds himself seeking her out … outside the prison when she’s released, in hotel bars, in her bed. They agree to just get each other out of their systems … sexy only … but as they spend more and more time together, they actually like each other. It’s crazy! The cop and the bad girl … it can’t possibly work … can it?

About Arell Rivers

For as long as I can remember, I have been lost in a book. During my senior year in college, I picked up a Danielle Steel novel … and instantly was hooked on romance.

I started writing my first novel, No One to Hold, because the characters were screaming at me to do so. The story started coming out in my dreams and attacking me in the shower, so I took to the computer to shut them up. But they kept talking.

Born and raised in New Jersey, I have what some may call a “checkered past.” Prior to discovering my passion for writing romance, I practiced law, was a wedding and event planner and even dabbled in marketing. I live with a very supportive husband and two mischievous cats. When not in my writing cave, I can be found making dinner in the crock pot, working out with Shaun T or hitting the beach.

I hope you enjoy my stories about driven men, strong women and the passions that ignite!

Declan Kincade has spent so much time chasing success he’s almost forgotten how to just live. Lately, though, his all-business routine has been thrown into disarray. Brooke Hastings is the best employee Dec’s ever had: polished, capable, and intelligent. After four years, he’s just realized that she’s also smoking hot. But their working relationship is too valuable to stake on a fling, no matter how mind-bendingly pleasurable it promises to be . . .

What’s worse than never meeting the right man? Finding him, and then working side-by-side every day while he remains absolutely blind to your existence.

EXCERPT:

The sunlight caught like spun gold in the wavy strands of her hair. He liked that her face was makeup free, but mostly he liked that she didn’t need a mask to feel confident. Not that he ever planned to date Brooke, but he’d dated a lot of women who’d refused to leave the house until their makeup had been perfectly applied and every hair was in place.

In his mind, all that preparation took away an opportunity for spontaneity. With his busy schedule, sometimes that’s all he could manage—a last minute invite. Brooke had so much sexy going on she didn’t need all that stuff. And today she’d pretty much proved that she was game for the whole spur-of-the-moment thing. Impressive.

“How many business lunches and dinners have I sat through with you, Mr. Kincade?”

He shrugged. “Too many to count.”

“Bingo.” She pointed. “And do you know what you order almost each and every time?”

“No.”

“Seared ahi.”

“And the problem with that is?”

“Boring.”

“I like ahi.”

“Good for you. But why not expand your horizons? Eating the same old same old every day is like having missionary sex every time the mood strikes.”

And why did she need to bring that up? Because his imagination definitely didn’t need a push in that direction.

“Shake things up.” She waved her hands upward like she was about to take flight. “Be daring. Live a little.”

Damn she was animated. How the hell did someone get like that?

“I’m happy with things the way they are.”

“Are you really?” As she leaned into the table, the unyielding fabric of that tight white tank top across her breasts dominated his attention.

He didn’t respond.

Couldn’t.

He was too . . . distracted.

“You know what they say; all work and no play . . .” she said with a shrug, leaving the remainder of that statement hanging like a noose.

“So you’re saying that eating fish tacos is suddenly going to shake things up in my life?”

“Breaking your same old song and dance routine will. After you’ve opened up the door, anything can happen. Aren’t you the least bit curious?”

The server interrupted them to deliver a large plate of steaming soft tacos, bowls of salsa and sour cream, and two giant froufrou drinks with slices of pineapple and maraschino cherries speared by pink umbrellas.

Oh hell no.

He was not going to drink something that would immediately revoke his man card. But when Brooke plucked the cherry from her glass, dangled it in the air, and captured it with her tongue, he had second thoughts. By the time she settled the bright pink straw between the soft cushion of her lips and sucked the orange frothy drink into her mouth, he figured he’d be game for just about any damn thing. As long as he could watch her do that all day long.

Beauty and the Beastly Billionaire . . .

Eli Crane is one tough bastard. After an explosion left him injured and honorably discharged from the Marines, all he wants is to be left alone. Yet his brothers insist he take a greater role in the family business. They've hired him ten personal assistants-and Eli sent each one packing as fast as possible. But when beautiful number eleven walks through the door, Eli will do anything to make her stay.

Isabella Sawyer's employment agency can't afford to lose Eli Crane's business. Her plan: to personally take on the role of his PA, and secure her reputation with the wealthy elite in Chicago. But this beauty and her hot billionaire bad boy soon find themselves mixing business with pleasure in the most delicious ways. And passionate, stubborn Isabella won't rest until she tames this wicked beast . . .

Another awesome Crane brother! I have loved this entire series and just can’t fathom that it’s over … can’t we find a long lost sibling somewhere? 🙂 The characters are great, the family connection is so heartwarming, and the chemistry is off the charts! There was some weakness in the plot in that he really had too easy of a transition back into real life with no PTSD, etc. other than a little survivor’s guilt, but overall it was a great book!

Former Marine Elijah Crane is not adjusting well to being home. He worked hard to heal after the injury that ended his military career, and now he just wants people to leave him alone. He does NOT want to take on a roll in the family business no matter how much his brother’s continue to harass him about it. They keep sending one personal assistant after another to his home office to try to get him doing work and he keeps running them off … until she walks in the door …

Isabella Sawyer’s employment agency is soon going to get a bad reputation for all of the assistant’s the Crane’s are going through, so she decides to take matters into her own hands and shows up herself as the next assistant for Eli. Her no nonsense attitude catches his attention immediately and soon he doesn’t want her to leave! They end up being good for each other and their passion is mega hot … but can it lead to anything real?

They want revenge. They need each other.

Detective Bobbie Gentry has one objective: to stop the serial killer who robbed her of her husband, her child and her life. Nick Shade understands Bobbie's pain—and her desire for vengeance. He's on a mission of his own, and the murderer known as the Storyteller is next on his list. Nick knows that the best way to find his target is to stick close to Bobbie. But as she becomes more and more reckless in her attempts to lure the Storyteller out of hiding, he has to make a choice. Will he protect her from herself even if it means passing up the chance to take out one more monster? As for Bobbie, she's forced to decide just how much she can trust this stranger who knows so much about her. And both of them are about to learn whether or not two broken people can save each other.

An intense continuation of The Storyteller’s reign of terror! If you haven’t read the prologue to this series THE BLACKEST CRIMSON, I highly recommend reading that one as well. It was a great kick off that had us already invested in Bobbie Gentry’s story when this one started. The characters are well developed and the plot is thick. You will not want to put it down until you get to the end!

Detective Bobbie Gentry is alive for one reason … to bring down the man that took her family from her. She lives and breathes revenge and will not stop until “The Storyteller” is no longer killing innocent people!

Nick Shade has a secret past that no one knows about, but it is the reason he has a life mission of bringing as many serial killing monsters to justice as he can. He knows he can help Bobbie Gentry, but as “The Storyteller” closes in, she begins to unravel even more. Will he be able to keep her safe long enough to catch the guy, or is she too determined to bring him down no matter what the cost to herself?

When did you know that you wanted to be an author?

I’ve always had a vivid imagination and endless curiosity. I enjoyed creative writing at school but tucked it away for many years while I pursued a career in fashion design and applied arts. About two and a half years ago, an idea for one scene about half-way through my first novel formed in my head. I decided to try writing a manuscript incorporating that scene, just to see if I could. What started out as an experiment, turned into an obsession and soon I was writing daily, taking courses and working with a developmental editor.

Are there any specific authors that you feel inspired you in your love of books and inspired you to write yourself?

I love Eleanor Catton’s (The Rehearsal, The Luminaries) writing, her descriptive prose is mouthwatering, Ken Follett is an amazing writer. The detail in his books is mind blowing. Jane Austen’s novels are so witty, charming and ground-breaking in terms of women’s literature and I must also include Margaret Mitchell because ‘Gone with the Wind’ is a masterpiece.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not writing?

Anything creative – Pattern making, sewing, jewellery making, screen-printing. I do and teach these subjects.

If you could take a dream vacation anywhere you wanted, where would it be?

I’m a home body. A holiday at home is my idea of paradise.

What did you do to celebrate publishing your first novel?

Nothing, I was in the midst of completing an assignment for my Advanced Diploma in Creative Writing.

AUTHOR BIO:

After a twenty-plus-year career in the applied arts industry, including owning her own fashion and jewellery labels, Kathy decided to turn her creative skills to writing fiction.

Her first novel, Peak Hill, was a finalist in the Romance Writers of New Zealand Pacific Hearts Full Manuscript contest in 2016.

Kathy now squeezes full-time study for an advanced diploma in applied writing in around writing novels and short stories, teaching sewing and pattern making and being a wife and mother.
