★★★From USA Today Best-selling Author, Taylor Hart--what could go wrong with a fake marriage and a hunt for Conquistador Gold?


After the death of their father, six siblings are upset the family ranch in Wyoming was left solely to their oldest brother, Porter Cross. He's been on bad terms with the family for fifteen years and their father's wishes feel like a betrayal to the rest of the siblings. But the possibility of a cache of conquistador gold being stashed somewhere begins to unite them. The trickiest part of the whole situation is that Porter has to get married or the ranch will be lost to everyone.

When Sadie Hunt comes back to Cross Creek to start over with her son, she never expected her high school love would ask her to marry him and she really never expected to find herself looking for gold.

As a hunt for conquistador gold and a fake marriage bring all of the Cross siblings together, their relationships get tried and they find they have to do the one thing their father always wanted them to do; trust each other and protect the land that is their legacy.

*This book was previously included in The Complete Snow Valley Collection.

A woman who has made all the wrong choices in love. A man who refuses to be hurt from the past. Can a fake wedding date be just the thing to heal them both?


All Isabel Snow wanted, was to go to her best friend's wedding, make it an amazing day for her friend, and get back to her life—hopefully without seeing her best friend's brother...aka...the guy who broke her heart.

Oliver Browne doesn't want to be back in Snow Valley. He doesn't want to 'talk' things out with his father, the man who never believed in him, and he really doesn't want to see the girl he's never stopped thinking of...Izzy.

When Oliver overhears a conversation he never should have heard, he's not going to keep quiet about the jerk Izzy's dating, the idiot shouldn't talk to her that way.

When Izzy accidentally punches him and puts him in the hospital, the only thing Oliver can tell her is that he wants forgiveness.

Can there be a second chance to fix all the mistakes of the past?

After a year of personal setbacks in her skiing career and her grandfather passing, she thought the worst of it was over until Four days before Christmas her lawyer tells her she can’t inherit the ranch her grandfather left her—unless she’s married by noon on Christmas day.

When a mysterious guy shows up, chewing her out for spraying snow on him, she never would have imagined she’d end up on a date with him. Or kiss him! Why does her life have such rotten timing? After night skiing, soaking in the hot tub, and dancing at an old folk’s home, Storm begins to wonder if she can really go through with the marriage to her ex. Now she and Nathan are faced with a choice—walk away or let the timing of love sync up once and for all. Nathan's story's is a stand alone book. But, there's more other fun bachelor billionaires who have already fallen in love.

Excerpt from Rule #1 Don't Fall for Mr. Wrong–Included in this collection:
She reached up and pulled his head to her, kissing his lips softly, like a whisper. It would have been an understatement to say the earth moved. It was more like it opened up and swallowed them into a whole new place that made the compass change. Everything she thought was up was down and down was up.
“I’ve wanted to do that since I saw you that day at the airport.” Beau sounded unguarded, like a child discovering something new.

Warmth rushed through her.

Beau leaned in, kissing her again.

She kissed him back. This time it was . . . passion. It was wonderful and painful and she never wanted it to stop.

Beau pulled back and inhaled quickly. “I can’t marry you.”

“What?” Sara pulled away so quickly she almost fell over.

He reached out to support her.

“I didn’t want this to happen.” He seemed to be looking for something in her face. “I have a past, Sara.”

“Why are you talking about marrying me?” Suddenly, Jonathon’s face flooded her mind. She pulled her hands to her mouth, feeling instant shame. “Ohmygosh, he’s coming home in three days and I haven’t even told him about anything.”

Beau stood there, frozen.

The way he looked at her coupled with what he’d blurted out, made her curious. “And,” she said, holding up a hand. “What do you mean, you can’t marry me?” Confusion burned through her mind. “Why would you say that?”

Beau laughed. “This is incredible.” He shook his head. “I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m completely wrong for you. One hundred percent wrong.”

Nervous angst fell through her. “Why?” she blurted out.

Beau’s smile fell from his face, and he stepped to her, gripping her arm tightly and pulling her close to him. His face hardened. “I don’t know, Sara. Why don’t you tell me?”

She felt paralyzed by the thoughts racing through her mind.

Beau let her go and turned, running his hand over the stubble on his face. “Come on,” he said it sharply, like he was talking to a child. He reached for her hand.

“Don’t talk to me that way.” She took off for the fence, hiking over it quickly.
He was beside her. “I’m sorry.” They walked in silence until the house came into view.

They got to the edge of her yard and stood there for a few moments.
She didn’t want to face everyone in her house, yet.

But, it seemed neither of them knew what to say.

Finally Beau turned to face her. “Let me be a friend to you right now. Let’s forget about everything else, and I’ll just be here for you.” His voice was unguarded and sincere.

She looked at him, trying to analyze his motives. “Why?”

He pursed his lips together then let out a sigh. “Because I know what it feels like to face death alone.”

There it was. Beau had a way of getting straight to the heart of the matter. He held out his hand.

She looked at it with uncertainty, knowing if she took it she would be giving more than she could, but wanting a friend and sensing that he needed a friend, too.

She took his hand and they walked into the house that way.

The Good Groom

Dax Brady, quarterback for the Texas Titans, only wants to be left alone after losing the championship game to go on his annual fishing trip. He doesn’t want to attend a Bachelor Auction, he doesn’t want to deal with his family issues, and he really doesn’t want to be forced into working with some woman who clearly doesn’t know how to help him. Not that he does!

Sky Brooks only came back to Dallas to collect the money her father left for her after he passed a year ago. Too bad the man in charge of the trust won’t let her have it—unless she agrees to take on one last patient—Dax Brady.

The No Regrets Groom
Ziggy Brady, center for the Denver Storm, doesn't expect to dance with the woman who broke his heart ten years ago. But a bet issued by the owner of the Storm, is the catalyst for asking her. He certainly can't believe she slaps him, and he really doesn't know what to do when she throws in his face the fact her boyfriend is proposing later that night. The truth, is that Sophia Charles will always be his biggest regret.

Sophia Charles doesn't want to dance with Ziggy Brady at a fundraiser; but his brother has ALS and she actually likes Ty. She somehow gets suckered into helping with his No Regrets Tour.

The No Regrets Tour consists of: driving cross country in a Retro RV, visiting an old Prison, staying at a Haunted Mansion, rafting the Snake River, and putting Graffiti Art on Devil's Tower –which will most-likely land them in jail.

The Dancing Groom
Boston Brady, running back for the Miami Surf, only wanted three things from his month at a beach resort—to take care of his brother, train for football, and forget his ex-girlfriend! When he is suckered into taking dance classes by his brother, he never expected to get stuck with the one woman he'd accidentally infuriated upon arriving.

The beautiful and talented Addison Adair, former coach from Dancing With The Stars only wants two things--a spot on Jive International, a prestigious dance company, and to erase the pain and loneliness of losing her husband. When her dance partner falls through and Boston Brady agrees to fill in, and she suddenly finds her world turned upside down. He’s intense and gives the Brady Guarantee that she'll get that spot—no matter what!

Her Football Boss Fake Fiancé--Special Christmas Edition
Ocean Brady only wants one thing for Christmas--his family to enjoy five stress-free days together. Too bad stress-free is impossible because of the big fat lie he's told them all!

The hardworking and beautiful, Augusta Deluca, only wants to work and have a quiet Christmas with her sisters. Too bad she sprains her ankle on the beach and it only gets worse when some stranger keeps trying to help her. She almost has to pepper spray the guy, until he tells her he’s some famous football player, one she didn’t recognize and don't be a baby about it—ya egomaniac!

She really never imagined she'd be offering to be his fake fiance!

When all the fakeness of their relationship starts to get real, they are left with a choice; keep telling more lies or face the truth and get the Christmas miracle they’ve both wanted!

Chance Cross only knew one thing; whoever was going after his family--would pay. And he would put this gold hunt to rest once and for all. Even if it meant leaving Cross Creek and going undercover in South Port. He had a journal that showed the gold was still in this beach town and he would prove it.

Kelly Hamilton never meant to end up in South Port. She never meant to run into Chance Cross, and she really never meant to wind up smack dab in the middle of a gold hunt ... and be running from her ex--but life had funny ways.

When she agrees to team up with Chance to find the gold its' on one condition; he tell no one she's pregnant. She doesn't know what she's going to do and ... she can't let her ex find out.
Will the feelings from the past and conquistador gold pull them together or tear them apart?

As the Cross siblings get tested, they find they have to do the one thing their father always wanted them to do; trust each other and protect the land that is their legacy.

Please enjoy three bonus books; Flirting with your FBI Heartbreaker,Flirting with your Hollywood Heartbreaker, and Flirting with your Ex-Best Friend Billionaire Fiancé.

Excerpt:
Kelly found the rush of diving indescribable. Trent took them down a couple times with him, and then he let them go on their own. Of course, they were connected to an oxygen tank, and it wasn’t that deep. It was so cool to be underwater and look around.

“You don’t want to go anywhere without a partner,” Trent had cautioned them. “Sometimes you can get disoriented, and your partner will save your life.”

Hand in hand, Kelly and Chance went over every nook and cranny. There was a little cave in this area, and she waved Chance forward. He shone his water flashlight on the walls, and they inspected the hieroglyphs engraved into the cave face. She wondered if this area of the caves had been out in the open a long time ago. Since her phone was waterproof, she took pictures of all the symbols. They found matches for the cross and the skull, and there were other carvings as well—bird carvings that she hadn’t seen before, as well as different versions of the cross and skull. Maybe they could somehow date them and figure out how long the symbols had been there.

There was something else that she couldn’t recognize at first. After staring at it for a minute, she realized it looked like a rose. She snapped a picture of it.
Chance took her to another area of the cave, where she snapped pictures of swords and what looked like some kind of face. She stooped low, and Chance had to come with her as she found something else. It looked like a heart, but it was broken and there was an L and a D in it. Had the Stones’ parents engraved it, or was it older?

Everything fascinated her, and she was startled when Trent started yanking on the ropes. They went up, and he asked them how they were doing as he helped them take off the gear.

“I’m great.” She felt exhilarated and happy and like she finally had a purpose in her life. Then she remembered that she was pregnant with Brian’s baby. No. Her baby.

Chance paused in taking off his gear, seeming to notice her change of mood. “What’s wrong?”

She didn’t want to tell him what she was thinking. “Nothing. This has been the best.” She smiled at Trent and then made a joke about the broken heart they’d found at the bottom.

Trent’s face lit up. “We have a story about L and D. They were lost lovers, and maybe when D found her, she was already dead, and he wrote their initials at the bottom to commemorate her.”

“Is that true?” That sounded horrible.

Chance laughed. “It can’t be true.”

“I think my sister Kensi wrote a story about it,” Trent said. “You should ask her.”

“Kensi writes stories?”

Trent puffed his chest out proudly. “She writes all kinds of stories and has started publishing them online. She writes under the name Kensi Stone, and she has a whole bunch of stories about me and my family. Of course, she’s changed our names. I’ve read them, and she’s talented.”

Kelly was finding out a lot about the Stone family today. She didn’t remember reading anything about Kensi being a writer.

Trent looked around, seeming disappointed. “I don’t think we found anything. That’s a bummer. I guess I’m used to it by now, but it’s still hard.”

Suddenly, the tide seemed to shift and all the water in the cave started moving.

“What’s going on?” Kelly asked, clinging to Chance.

Trent hurried to toss some of his scuba gear farther up on the shore. “Honestly, I don’t know. It seems like the tide changed, or something happened. I’ve never seen this before.”

The water churned faster and faster, and some of Trent’s scuba gear started going with it. He dove down to try to retrieve it.

Kelly wasn’t sure how long the water drained; maybe five or ten minutes. It settled down over time, but she was worried about Trent.

Luckily, he reemerged, and he was laughing. “I can’t believe it. There’s a whole intricate system of caves down here that I’ve never seen. When the tide took all of that water, some of the dirt moved with it, like it was sucked out. Let’s put on our gear and check it out.”

* * *

Chance and Kelly put their gear back on. Then they waded out into the water and dove down. Trent had them all hold hands, and he guided them toward a cave that Chance hadn’t seen only minutes before. How strange that the seas would change so suddenly. It felt like something else was in control of all this.
Maybe God’s hand?

He wondered what Kelly would think of that. He still was reeling from their conversation the night before. She’d said she wasn’t sure if she would keep the baby, and then her mind had changed overnight. Would he want to be part of her life, even if she had a baby?

Of course.

He was startled by how quickly the answer came to him.

If she wanted him around.

Trent was gesturing around the cave. They couldn’t hear what he was saying, but he seemed emphatic about this place.

They all started exploring. In the corner was a chest. It wasn’t clear until Chance ran his hand across the top and felt the metal. Trent signaled for them to pick it up and take it. Chance tugged at it, but it was heavy. With some heaving, they managed to carry the chest back, and he was grateful for his flippers propelling him onward.

Chance kept his eye on Kelly as she tagged along with them.

When they got back to their base camp, he and Trent lobbed the chest to the top.

Trent ripped his mouth guard out and said, “I can’t believe this. I seriously can’t believe this.”

They all scrambled to get up on the side and took their scuba gear off.

The chest was locked, and Trent messed with the combination. It wasn’t ancient, probably manufactured in the eighties. “We’ll have to take this back and just smash it or cut it or blowtorch it.”

Trent pulled out his phone and called Trey.

Suddenly, it turned into a family call with all of the siblings.

They tried different combinations. Then Kensi said, “Try Mom and Dad’s anniversary. 10-26-69.”

Trent gave her an incredulous look, but he obeyed.

Amazingly, the lock clicked open.

**Excerpt from Her Fake Navy SEAL Boyfriend –– included in this collection:**
Jax mucked out a stall in his grandfather’s barn, heavy metal music playing loudly from his phone in his jacket pocket. He paused, still reeling from the amazing kiss earlier. Tia was all he’d been able to think about the rest of the night—even as he’d taken the flowers back to Grandpa and watched as Martha had accepted them and given Grandpa a kiss on the cheek. It’d been cute.
Cute? Was he really thinking words like that?

How come his seventy-year-old grandfather could attract a lady and he couldn’t? He pretty much could bank on the fact Grandpa wouldn’t be eating alone tonight.

A Rocky IV song was next on his playlist, and he jammed to the music. He moved onto the next stall. It’d been a long, cold year in the women department. Karli’s beautiful face flashed into his mind. She was blond, sun-kissed, and tall. But they’d only dated three months before eloping to Maui. He cursed. He should have realized it’d all been an act.

He thought again about how it’d been a long time since he’d kissed a woman like that. The guys on his team were teasing him that he’d gone all monk or something. He hadn’t wanted to explain to them how hurt he was over Karli. He didn’t need to; they knew. But that kiss earlier had stoked a fire inside of him again.

After he finished with the stalls, he fed Husky and Piper, giving them an extra rubdown with the brush. He had loved working with the horses and doing ranch stuff when he’d been young. That felt like a separate life, because he hadn’t thought about it for a long time.

He moved to his grandfather’s office. There were scattered papers all over the desk, and an old-fashioned phone was attached to the wall. He halted, noting there was a picture of him and his grandpa in the corner of the desk. He picked it up and studied it, noting that he’d been a boy then, maybe eight or nine.
His mother had come then, too. He sucked in a breath and put the picture down, bringing up a wall to block those feelings.

Suddenly, a text from Karli appeared. Thinking about you.

Anger surged inside of him. Over the past couple of days, she’d been sending little texts like this and he’d been ignoring them. It was clear that she and the other guy hadn’t worked out. But c’mon, she’d left him standing on a beach with a preacher and his grandpa waiting. Why would she think he would want to talk to her?

He texted her back. Quit texting me.

She responded instantly, like she was watching for his reply. I’m sorry, Jax. I’m so sorry. I made a mistake and I want to talk to you.

How many times had he longed for her to say those words to him? Not that he ever saw Karli. Honestly, they’d never even run into each other. It wasn’t that hard for him to eliminate people from his life. He’d moved so much, he had a knack for it. It was just eliminating them from his heart that he found harder to do.

Through the window of the office, he saw an old punching bag and lifting equipment. Well, well, well. He hadn’t remembered a workout room. He strode out and turned on the light that was hanging from the ceiling. The room was half a barn and half cement floor. It was cold, probably twenty degrees, but he didn’t care.

He took off his gloves and coat and started up the heater in the corner. He took his phone out of his pocket and went to his workout playlist. “Hearts on Fire” blared out. He focused on the bag. This was what he needed—to hit something.

Jax leaped into a roundhouse kick. Jujitsu, tai chi, and boxing were all part of his training, and it felt so good. He began his routine of punching and kicking that he’d done several times a week for years. It calmed him.
The girl’s face popped into his mind again. Not Karli this time—Tia.

He liked the name. He wouldn’t have liked the name if he hadn’t met the woman associated with it. He liked the pride in the woman’s eyes when she’d told her ex that she was going to the dance with Jax.

Dang, the girl had guts.

He laughed and tugged off his shirt; sweat was already trickling down his back. Yes, he so needed this.

With a pang, he visualized his buddies on the beach in Cabo. Man, how he needed the sunshine. Then he thought about his re-enlistment notice, which he’d gotten last week. It told him that if he wanted to stop being a SEAL, now was the time he to do so.

He punched some more. Of course he would keep being a SEAL. What would he do if he wasn’t a SEAL? His grandpa had mentioned that at one point, he’d wanted to be a rancher. But he’d grown up. He’d chosen a path, and he had nothing else. No home. Only his team. He had to re-enlist.

A twinge in his shoulder made him stop punching, and he grabbed it with his other hand. Dang it. He grimaced against a burst of pain. Even though it’d been two years, sometimes it caught at just the right spot. As he massaged his shoulder, Tim’s face flashed into his mind. His best friend. His teammate. The one he’d lost.

“Are you okay?”

It wasn’t often that someone snuck up on a SEAL. Shock coursed through him, and he jerked around. “Get out!” he snapped, before realizing it was Tia.

“Sorry!” Her eyes widened with fear.
