A Bent Creek Redemption (Harker Brothers Ranch, #2) / Harker Brothers Ranch (ePub)

No one in Bent Creek expected the town's bad boy to fall for the girl-next-door librarian . . .

Jackson

My life took ten wrong turns when I left Bent Creek. But now I'm back to help my brothers get the one thing that matters most to us--our family's ranch.

The plan is simple: fix the place up, pay the taxes, live there for five years, and it's ours.

So I move in, ready to set aside my messed up life for something with a purpose. Ready to forget the past with my family and the Nobles and build a life for the future.

Yet I didn't expect to end up with the town librarian as a roommate.

Emily is quiet and beautiful. But if she's as smart as she seems, she'd know to stay far away from me and my last name.

Emily

When I get evicted from my apartment, I can either go crawling back to my disapproving dad or sleep in my car. But seeing Jackson Harker back in town reminds me that there's another place I could stay temporarily--his family's abandoned house.

Desperate to avoid another night in my car, I sneak into the house--to find Jackson already staying there. I'm not about to stick around, not with his reputation and definitely not with the way I find myself attracted to him, but a spring snowstorm takes the decision out of my hands.

It's just one night, on one air mattress.

One night turns into two, and then three, and before I know it, I'm finding that so much I'd heard about Jackson Harker is wrong. The longer I stay, the more I fall for him.

But the danger that comes with him is real.

Marybeth

I'm the happiest I've ever been with Gabe. We've moved into a small house together, he's busy with plans to get the family ranch back with his brothers Jackson and Nick, and I've finally decided on a way to get my shop to survive the upcoming summer in our small town.

But there's one person who isn't happy with any of it--my brother, Luke.

Luke can't set aside the past, and he's convinced the Harkers are back to stir up trouble. When I try to reason with him, he gives me an ultimatum: choose a side.

But how can I pick between my family and the man I love?

It doesn't matter, though, because Luke chooses for me. He's determined to get the Harkers to leave town, and he doesn't care who stands in his way.

This is a story of family, romance, and friendship told through 3 viewpoints--Emily, Jackson, and Marybeth. If you love cowboys, Yellowstone-style drama, big families, small western towns filled with secrets, and sweet romance with a touch of suspense, this book is for you!

A Bent Creek Redemption is the second full-length book in the Harker Brothers Ranch series. For Marybeth and Gabe's story, be sure to check out the prequel novella, A Bent Creek Christmas.
