One brave step at a time 

Lieutenant Andrea Stuart survived the war–zone attack that took her fiancé. A therapy dog and a cabin in Covenant Falls are all the risks the former military nurse is willing to take anymore. But as Andy's drawn into writing the history of the small town, she's also drawn to Nate Rowland. 

As rugged as he is jaded, Nate's committed to helping fellow veterans–and avoiding a new relationship. Keeping her distance might be smart, but it's hard to stay away when Andy sees that Nate has a few scars of his own. Together they might find a path toward healing…and so much more.

Forgetting the past, facing the future.

Stephanie Phillips is sick of charm and Clint Morgan, the newest resident of Covenant Falls, has it in spades. Stephanie knows she should run the other way but the former Blackhawk pilot is too good-looking, too charismatic…and much too sexy.

As the town veterinarian, Stephanie has truly found her home here. Clint, on the other hand, is staying for only a short time while he recovers from an injury. But when he starts to fit seamlessly into the close-knit community, the irresistible risk-taker makes his way into her heart.

This is the home he never expected… 

With a terrifying ordeal behind him, former navy SEAL Jubal Pierce was supposed to stay in Covenant Falls, Colorado, for only a day or two. That's it. He's not prepared to put down roots here–no matter how intriguing the town's new doctor happens to be. Not to mention Dr. Lisa Redding's teen brother is on a troubled path that's all too familiar.

Suddenly Jubal finds himself entangled in the community and with deep, unfamiliar feelings for Lisa. But maybe a little detour is just what a warrior needs to find his true purpose…and true love.

He's looking for roots. She won't be tied down.

Army ranger Travis Hammond needs to heal physical and emotional wounds. A job in Covenant Falls checking out equine therapy programs for veterans is a start, but it's only temporary. And he doesn't need a partner, especially some reporter with the persistence of a terrier and irresistible green eyes. Like Travis, Jenny Talbot's just passing through town. Unlike Travis, Jenny knows exactly where she's going next – back to the Middle East, as soon as she recovers from her own war injury. But there's a bend in the road for both of them.

Here today, gone tomorrow? 

When former army ranger Josh Manning comes to close–knit Covenant Falls, he knows he won't be staying long. As soon as he's renovated the cabin he's inherited from a late fellow soldier, he and his ex–military dog, Amos, are getting out fast. That is, until Mayor Eve Douglas drops by. 

Eve, a young widow, has a precocious son and a band of misfit pets. Definitely not his type. Besides, she deserves much more than he can give. Unless, against all his instincts, he's ready to make one more promise.
