Butler Ranch Series by Heather Slade

He’s a strong, ex-military man with a fierce proclivity to protect those he loves. They call him an legend. She calls him her hero. We call him Kade Butler. And this is where it all began... After the mysterious disappearance of a man who once saved Kade’s life, he knows he owes it to him to drop everything and find him. Leaving Peyton Wolf is the hardest thing he’s ever done. But sometimes, loyalty trumps love. He must promise to come back to her even when the odds are stacked against him.

He’s a grieving brother with promises to keep. They call him loyal. She calls him dangerous. We call him Brodie Butler. He has one job—deliver a box to his late brother’s grieving fiancée, and Brodie Butler is not going to screw it up. Once the box is in Peyton Wolf’s hands, he’ll return home to mourn his own loss. That was the plan. He never intended to fall for the one woman he can’t have. Instead of closing a chapter of his late brother’s life, Brodie opens a new one... moreHe’s a grieving brother with promises to keep. They call him loyal. She calls him dangerous.

The Hatfields and McCoys have nothing on the Butler and Avilla families. The feud between the families has been going on for decades and doesn't look like it will end anytime soon. But neither the feud, nor the fence between the wineries can keep two determined young lovers apart. Will their love heal the wounds of the past to reunite the families? Or will it drive the wedge deeper and make them choose family over love?

Naughton Butler is a loner, partially by choice, but also because the secret he carries means getting close to anyone is impossible. When he and his brother Maddox are given four hundred acres of prime vineyard property by their brother Kade, they must decide how to manage Butler Ranch Winery, along with starting a new winery on Demetria Estate. The solution for Maddox is to hire the new kick-ass, hotter-than-all-get-out, winemaker who just landed in Paso Robles... moreNaughton Butler is a loner, partially by choice, but also because the secret he carries means getting close to anyone is impossible.
