Kelly Ranch Series by Julia Wolf

But the minute he turned eighteen, he left our small town of Sugar Brush, Wyoming and never looked back.

As my older brother’s best friend, Remington Town used to be like a member of my family. But the minute he turned eighteen, he left our small town of Sugar Brush, Wyoming and never looked back. Thirteen years later, Remi shows up to settle his father’s estate, but as far as I’m concerned, he should’ve stayed gone. Besides, he’s in for a big surprise when he finds out the old farmhouse he intends to sell is now half mine. I expect Remi to hit the road just like he did all those years ago, but infuriatingly, he settles in like he plans on staying for a while. It’s impossible to avoid him since I run my farrier business out of the house he’s now haunting. Everywhere I turn, I seem to find him, with his easy smiles and endless patience, no matter what I throw at him—literally. When push comes to shove and I’m in danger, Remi stands by me without question. His steady, surprisingly gentle presence softens me to him. Soon, a tentative friendship leads to a fiery passion neither of us saw coming. Remi and I find solace and beauty in each other, but behind the picturesque facade of our small town lurks an ugliness. Someone doesn’t like me having all that I do, and if they have their way, I’ll be left with nothing at all. See It Through is a small town, western romance featuring the Kelly family. It can be read as a complete standalone, however this series is second generation. The Kelly kids' parents are Lock and Elena, and their story starts in Sweet Like Poison. This is Hannah Kelly's story. less

Deacon Slater was my high school crush—the bad boy with haunted eyes that made my heart skip a beat. But in our small town, the Slater name is synonymous with trouble, and Deke lived up to it when he landed in prison a few years after graduation. He served his time and now he’s back, living in the apartment above mine, covered in ink and even more intriguing than before. As the owner of Sugar Rush bakery, I’m used to building bridges with my muffins and cookies... moreDeacon Slater was my high school crush—the bad boy with haunted eyes that made my heart skip a beat. But in our small town, the Slater name is synonymous with trouble, and Deke lived up to it when he landed in prison a few years after graduation. He served his time and now he’s back, living in the apartment above mine, covered in ink and even more intriguing than before. As the owner of Sugar Rush bakery, I’m used to building bridges with my muffins and cookies. I’ve seen cowboys nearly come to blows over the last lemon bar. But Deke wants nothing to do with my treats…or me. He keeps his distance, barely speaking when I knock on his door. Until the day he doesn’t have a choice. He’s there when I need him, stepping in to protect me, showing me the caring man beneath his rough edges. We couldn’t be more different. I’m a curvy ray of sunshine in a pink apron and he’s a stoic, tattooed carpenter in work boots. But the more walls we tear down, the closer we get. And piece by piece, we discover how well we fit. But when darkness from his past comes looking for him, what we’re building could all fall apart. Because this time, trouble isn’t just circling Deacon Slater. It’s coming for us both. (This is Phoebe Kelly's story and can be read as a complete standalone! ). less

Caleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming. I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables... moreCaleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming. I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables. Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice. Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back. But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date. He has his son, his ranch, and no room for anything—or anyone—else. So I finally stop waiting, stop hoping, stop hiding. It’s way past time to begin living my life on my own terms. Just as I start to move forward, trouble knocks me back. And when I need someone the most, Caleb is the one by my side again and again, standing between me and the worst of it. His steady, fierce presence is impossible to ignore. I should know better than to keep falling for a man who told me he can’t give me more. I should walk away before I get hurt again. It’s just that every time he shows up, every time he really sees me, every time he stays, my heart refuses to listen. But letting him in might be the one thing I can’t come back from. less
