      The Wilde Brothers

      Come and meet the Wilde Brothers of Idaho. Joe, Logan, Ben, Samuel, and Jake. You'll love the western flair and hot men and strong women in this romantic family saga.

      THE WILDE BROTHERS:

      THE ONE: You never know when you’ll suddenly meet the one!

      THE HONEYMOON: Joe surprises his new wife with a honeymoon that’s anything but expected.

      FRIENDLY FIRE: After a roadside bomb ends his career in the marines, Logan Wilde struggles to put his life back together, taking a job as a sheriff in a small Idaho town. He expects a quiet, peaceful life that will bore him to tears…until he walks through the door of Julia Cooper’s cafe.

      NOT QUITE MARRIED: Logan has his work cut out for him in getting Julia to the altar.

      A MATTER OF TRUST: If Ben Wilde is sure of one thing, it’s that Carrie Richardson is trouble.

      THE RECKONING, A Wilde Brothers Christmas: Some scars just don’t heal.

      TRADED: Jake Wilde has two loves and neither is going his way.

      UNFORGIVEN: Samuel Wilde has an unbreakable bond with his brothers. That is until one woman comes between them.

      THE HOLIDAY BRIDE: All Trinity Cooper Wilde wanted was a quiet Christmas alone with her baby, a baby no one knows about but her twin sister, Dawn.

      Julia and Logan are getting married. Theirs has been a whirlwind romance:

      However, when she finds out she’s pregnant, causes a car accident, and is served a child custody suit by her lying and cheating ex-husband all in one day, Julia feels that her life is spiraling out of control. She begins to question everything—including Logan’s love for her.

      Before she can marry Logan, Julia needs to be sure he’s the man she believes him to be.

      Chapter 1

      So when do you want to set the date for the wedding? Logan asked, clipping his holstered gun to his belt and swallowing the last of his coffee.

      As he took in the girlie kitchen done in pinks and white—neat and tidy, with matching canisters, dishes, and cups—Logan couldn’t help but be amused. Like most guys, he didn’t really care about color-coordinating, but he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut. He stared at the sterling silver serving spoon in the dish drain, remembering how Julia had shrieked when he tried to use it to stir a pot of soup, insisting he use a wooden spoon and explaining that the silver one was for the spaghetti they would be having for dinner. He had said nothing and done his best to hide his amusement. The only thing Logan cared about was having something to eat!

      But Julia...liked nice things. She took pride in what she had, and this small three-bedroom house was nice and homey, with framed drawings, fresh flowers, and ceramic coasters on the matching side tables. Logan had moved in the day after they found Trinity, who had been abducted by her math teacher, Brent Maloney. The man had set his sights on Julia, and for some reason, unbeknownst to Logan, the guy had figured in his sick mind that kidnapping Trinity was the way to get Julia’s attention. Then again, Brent had lied about who he truly was—a man with a history of stalking women.

      It took Logan a moment to realize that Julia hadn’t answered him after he closed up the dishwasher and poured the milk out of Dawn’s half-eaten bowl of cornflakes. Ten-year-old Dawn, like her twin sister, Trinity, was a handful for her mother.

      Julia? Logan wiped his hands, put the rag in the sink, and stepped over to his dark-haired fiancée as she leaned against the counter, working her lower lip between her teeth. She peered up at him with those green eyes of hers, which could make him do anything. He put his hand against her rounded cheek, and she leaned into it.

      She sighed and said, I’m late.

      Logan glanced at the clock. It’s only eight thirty, he said. You don’t open until ten. You have lots of time—or is there something you have to do at the café? Sometimes suppliers showed up with deliveries, but that was usually on Tuesday. Today was Wednesday, and Julia always told him who was coming and when. After what had happened with Brent, she understood his need to know when strangers would be showing up.

      What stared back at him now was an expression of annoyance. "No, I’m late late," she said, waving her hand as if he should understand what she was getting
