Rachel never wanted to travel into the wilderness. The westward trail has stolen everything from her. Her home. Her family. Her husband. Now a match made out of necessity has trapped her in a marriage with a man she can't stand.
Owen likes Rachel about as much as his horse likes a burr under its saddle. She's bossy and stubborn with an independent streak a mile wide. And a baby on the way.
He can't help feeling responsible for the prickly mother-to-be. A marriage of convenience is the right thing to do. But that doesn't mean he has to like it. He just has to survive it until they reach Oregon.
August is a loner and prefers it that way. He only took the marriage wager to gain breathing room from his overbearing older brother. Besides, the wagon train still has a long journey before it reaches Oregon. Maybe he'll meet someone who turns his head.
Felicity longs for love and family, someone to choose her above all. After a wagon train accident robs her of her voice and leaves her dependent on the kindness of strangers, she finds herself in August's care. And she can't help falling the spell of a man who shows a deep well of kindness and anticipates her every need.
But August only sees her as a friend. Can a mousy, shy spinster like her win the heart of a man like August?
Stella is the oldest of three sisters and she's got a long history of being the one to protect and provide for her family. When a dangerous threat sent the Fairfax sisters on a wagon train journey west, Stella knew her best bet was to disguise herself as a man to keep herself and her sisters safe.
Collin Mason has secrets of his own. And his family isn't short on drama either, not with his troublemaking twin and an older brother about to get hitched. But he's the only one who sees the real Stella-and that she needs help.
Collin sees the vulnerability Stella tries so hard to hide. When he becomes the only one she can trust and she discovers that danger has followed her family, Stella must rely on him despite her reluctance . . .
Spending five months eating trail dust wasn't Leo Spencer's first choice. Or his second. He's not one to run away, but some situations can't be fixed and his family-two brothers and a sister-needs to start over. Which is how he finds himself on a westbound wagon train.
Evangeline has a secret, one that has sent her on a journey across the plains on the Oregon Trail. When her father is badly hurt and she needs help, Leo is there. A deal is struck, and the two unlikely friends form an alliance . . . that leads to more.
But Evangeline's secret looms over her . . . and Leo's family troubles are far from over.
Cowboy Fairytales: The Complete Collection includes all five romances in this series.
From book one in the Cowboy Fairytales series from a USA Today best-selling author:
A princess on the run finds sanctuary where she least expects it....
After nearly dying in an assassination attempt, Princess Alessandra of Glorvaird escapes to a place no one would ever think to look for her: small-town Oklahoma and a ranch staffed by a herd of woolly, uncouth cowboys. One cowboy in particular gets under her skin, until she sees his softer side. She knows this interlude can’t last forever, but that doesn’t stop her from wishing it might....
Former Navy SEAL Gideon Hale might’ve rescued the princess from freezing to death, but the soldier doesn’t trust easily - or at all - especially when his gut tells him Alessandra is keeping secrets. But as Alessandra begins to fit into his life, he discovers another side to the princess - one that he can’t help but like.
When Alessandra’s enemies close in, Gideon must fight to save the woman who has become so much more than a princess....
A Vegas wedding that never should’ve happened…
Ten years ago, Kayla Campbell made the biggest mistake of her life. She thought the hasty Vegas marriage had been annulled, only to find out she was wrong. So wrong. Desperate to house a needy foster kid, she’s forced to request help from the one man she promised herself to forget—ranch foreman Nate O’Malley.
Nate has waited years for his chance to make things right with Kayla. He was a twenty-year-old kid when he let her get away—and he’s regretted it ever since. She wants to pretend they’re married? Fine by him, as long as it gets him close enough for her to see he’s the kind of guy who sticks around.
But Kayla’s walls are as high as ever, and having a foster kid underfoot reminding her of all the ways they’re not compatible makes Nate’s task seem impossible. Can the stubborn cowboy show her he can provide the forever family she’s always wanted?
Independence can only take her so far…
After suffering an assault on the job, veterinarian Sarah Campbell is understandably nervous about being back at work. That doesn’t mean she needs a babysitter. Especially not the distractingly handsome Triple H cowboy her business partners choose for her.
Chase Ford has been in love with Sarah for months. He knows he doesn’t have a chance of winning her heart. Even if she has finally figured out her high society fiancé wasn’t right for her, she’s way out of Chase’s league. But as they bond over her high-stress job, he can’t help his growing feelings for the tough-but-tender vet.
As their unexpected friendship blooms, Sarah starts to wonder if Chase could be more than a friend. But she’s still keeping a secret—a big one—that might just drive him away for good…
“What do you want to get your mama for Christmas?”
“A husband.”
There’s a little matchmaker on the loose…
Cowboy Trey Markson might have quit his job as a hand on the Triple H, but he still has a soft spot in his heart for seven-year-old Scarlett—and her mama, part-owners of the Texas ranch. When Scarlett pulls him in on a Christmas caper, all his old feelings for Carrie reignite, and he’s afraid he’s going to get burned all over again.
Breaking up with Trey was the hardest thing single mom Carrie Hale has ever done. But after the small town stylist escaped from a horrific marriage, she’s too afraid to put her trust in a man again. Even one as upstanding as Trey.
Will one little girl’s Christmas wish bring these two wary hearts together?
She’s a reclusive homesteader who hoped to never see him again. But when she rescues the deputy, she might just be stuck with him…

About the book:
He only remembers he loves her…
A head injury and resulting amnesia have ended Sergeant Matt Hale’s military career. He can’t remember the man in the mirror, the sister and brother he’s told about, or the family ranch. But when he comes face-to-face with his girlfriend, memories of their high school romance return. With Kelsey by his side, he can deal with all the unknowns.
Except Kelsey Whitley isn’t prepared to stand by the man she walked away from a decade ago. When Matt only remembers their time together and not the breakup—which she was responsible for—his injury and vulnerability keep her lips sealed. Those and the amazing welcome-home kiss he lays on her.
It isn’t long before Matt realizes the truth—and asks Kelsey to stay. Will the hometown girl leave him behind a second time?
