The Bodyguard by S Doyle

The Bodyguard by S. Doyle

I’m known around the country as the Cowboy Princess. A reality TV star who likes champagne, expensive shoes and cowboys. It’s a lie. For me there has only been one cowboy… except he never wanted me. Now stardom has attracted the wrong kind of attention. From a person I know is hunting me. My only choice is to go home to The King’s Land.. Home to Garrett, the man I could never forget. While I have always loved Garrett, I knew he could never return that love. My childish lies drove him away. Now my life is at stake and I’m not lying about that. This time Garrett has to believe me.

Take Me Home by Lorelie Brown

Take Me Home by Lorelie Brown

I didn’t know what I was looking for until I saw her Craigslist ad. I love my family. I’m lucky to have them — well, most of them. But my aunt? I’m so tired of her giving my mom crap because I happen to be a lesbian. So one pink-haired tattoo artist pretending to be my girlfriend will annoy my Christian fundamentalist aunt right back and make my Thanksgiving perfect. Only Brooke turns out to be cuter and more complicated than I expected. And before you can say “yorkiepoo,” we kiss . . . and abduct a dog together. I want to keep them both — but Brooke isn’t the kind to be kept.
