A standalone short romance set in Huckleberry Hill, the same small North Idaho town as Emma Slate's Saddles & Spurs series. 

 It was supposed to be simple… 1. Put on the wedding dress. 2. Save the photoshoot. 3. Pretend that my long-distance relationship wasn’t on life support. Enter: Stratton Thorpe. A cowboy with easy confidence, set to be my stand-in groom. His blue eyes strip me bare. His hands make promises without him saying a word.

By morning, Stratton Thorpe confidently informs me that I belong in Huckleberry Hill, with him. The terrifying part? I think he’s right.

Three men. Three women who have no idea. And three hearts that fell first—and fell hard. He noticed first. He fell first. Now he's just waiting for her to catch up. In this collection of he-falls-first romances, the heroines are too busy holding their worlds together to see what's right in front of them: a man who's already, completely, hopelessly into her. Hero Ever After — She's the small-town mayor, the diner-booth lawyer, and the secret romantasy author whose viral hero looks an awful lot like her brother's best friend. When Ramsey Shaw comes home and kisses her like he knows the truth, the woman who's always been strong, quiet, and in control finally wants to be something else entirely: his. Playboy in a Kilt — Connor MacKean has spent years being nothing more than her best friend's little brother. Now the marriage pact is broken, the playboy's reformed, and a fake engagement at his family's Scottish estate is starting to feel dangerously real. Trouble is, his Cinderella doesn't believe in princes—and isn't sure she deserves the fairy tale. Don't You Wanna Stay — Contractor Wyatt Sullivan needs one big renovation to launch his home-improvement show. Newly divorced Deanna James needs to flip a historic disaster before her ex takes everything. The catch? Cameras rolling, walls coming down, and both of them under one roof—giving the viewers far more chemistry than either signed up for. Because the best love stories start the moment he realizes he's already fallen.

Two ambitious people know how to negotiate a deal. Building a life together is another matter. A carefully worded clause cannot protect them from the feelings neither expected. The story balances romantic tension with emotional choices that matter. Attraction arrives before certainty, and trust has to be earned through actions rather than promises. Each encounter shifts the balance between the leads, revealing humor, vulnerability, and the complicated hopes beneath their confidence. Their path toward love is not effortless, but every turning point brings them closer to the truth they have been avoiding. When the outside world demands certainty, the couple must confront what they actually want from each other. Success, money, and influence may shape their choices, but they cannot substitute for respect or emotional honesty. The story follows their changing dynamic through moments of tension, tenderness, and difficult decisions, allowing both characters to grow rather than simply fall into an easy solution. Enjoy a billionaire love story about ambition, negotiated boundaries, and the brave choice to make room for a future that cannot be reduced to business terms. The book is designed for readers who want an absorbing escape, memorable chemistry, and a romantic resolution earned through choices and change. Inside this romance: • A romance between capable partners with goals of their own • The push and pull between a practical agreement and genuine affection • A satisfying emotional journey toward trust, partnership, and lasting commitment • A complete standalone romance with a satisfying emotional arc • A relationship shaped by ambition, vulnerability, and the courage to choose honestly Open the book for a relationship tested by real stakes, strong personalities, and the pull of a future neither character can plan in advance. The romance delivers a vivid setting, escalating emotional tension, and a hopeful ending shaped by the people they become together.
