First book is Rugged Hearts, this is Wyatt's and Amiee's story.
Rugged, quiet, hardworking, Wyatt takes his position as head of the Kinnison family seriously. But the scars of betrayal by the women to whom he once trusted his heart now prompt his stark, simple game plan, and no one in hell is going to convince him any differently. What matters most, besides the welfare of his brothers, is to manage the ranch left to him and never risk his heart again to something as foolish as love—but after meeting Aimee, Wyatt begins to realize that a man should never say never to a determined second grade teacher.
When vivacious, resilient Aimee Worth loses her twin sister in a tragic accident, she makes the choice to live out her sister’s dream of teaching in the small mountain community called End of the Line, Montana, never suspecting she’d meet her Mr. Right in the middle of nowhere—he just doesn’t know it yet. Used to challenges, her spirit shatters the perceptions that have kept him isolated from living life beyond the ranch, proving to him that when it comes to love, the greatest risk is not taking one.
This is a contemporary western set in and around the town of End of the Line , Montana. Wyatt Kinnison runs the Second Chance Ranch with the help of his brother Dalton and Rein who he has grown up with and considers a brother. Wyatt is a bit of a loner after the heartaches he has been through. Left by his mother just a few months after she marries his stepdad and cheated on by a girlfriend he has no desire to find another woman to have his heartbroken again. Amiee is the new second grade school teacher in town and gets lost on her way into town one dark and snowy night. She stops at the first house she sees and knocks on the door. The door belongs to Wyatt Kinnison and both of their lives are now about to change.
I really like the way that the characters interact with each other and how Amiee pushes Wyatts buttons. This is a really sweet romance with some hot and spicy. Can not wait to get to read the next installment in this series.
The Second book is Rustler's Heart, and this is Rein and Liberty's story.

Liberty’s presence is a surprise to the family she’s never met, and while she yearns to belong, she knows her presence is a reminder of their painful past. Fearless, she dives in, losing her heart to the ranch, to the community, and to an unexpected summer fling.
But when dangers from her past catch up to her, they may cost her everyone and
When an unknown sister gets in touch with the Kinnison Brothers it is bound to turn the ranch upside down. Liberty is the sister that the brothers had never known. She is running from an abusive boyfriend and the only place she knows to go is to her brothers that her mother had told her about before she passed away. Wyatt asks Rein to go to the bus station to pick her up and what he sees is unlike anyone in the small town. Rein and Liberty are totally different on the outside, but they are more alike than the eye can see. The tension between the two is something that they can't deny.
I really enjoyed this book. Recommend it to anyone who loves a fun and intense romance story. Part of a series, but can read it as a stand alone book.
