"Seven stubborn brothers navigate the delicate balance between duty and desire in this sweeping saga of romance, redemption, and second chances on the rugged Texas frontier.
In 1874 Texas, the wealthy patriarch of the 7-Heart Ranch delivers an ultimatum to his seven independent sons: marry within the year or forfeit their inheritance. The directive sends these confirmed bachelors scrambling to secure their futures while protecting their fiercely guarded freedom.
While the youngest brother races to be first at the altar, the other brothers are more reluctant to tie the knot. The Hart brothers face unique challenges on the road to romance with a cast of remarkable women: a long-lost love haunted by the past, a former sweetheart guarding her heart, a cave-dwelling lady with mysterious money, a mail-order bride who falls for the wrong man, and a Civil War nurse willing to heal a scarred soldier's heart.
Will they find true love under the pressure of their father's demands, or will they sacrifice their inheritance to maintain their independence?"
"Seven dedicated Texas Rangers risk their hearts and their honor in this thrilling saga of romance and justice in the untamed West.
In 1875 Texas, the notorious Markham gang threatens the peace of the frontier, prompting seven determined Rangers to pursue them across the state. But their mission becomes complicated when love ambushes the lawmen at every turn.
While tracking the outlaws, these stalwart Rangers encounter extraordinary women who challenge their dedication to the badge: a young widow protecting dangerous secrets, a jeweler's daughter guarding precious cargo, a former soiled dove seeking redemption, a stubborn horse owner with a score to settle, a quick-thinking bank teller turned hostage, a talented silversmith forced into counterfeiting, and a brave witness who holds the key to bringing down the gang.
From train robberies to kidnappings, these Rangers must navigate the dangerous territory between protecting their hearts and upholding the law. But when love and duty collide, even the most steadfast lawman might be forced to choose between justice and romance."

A strange voice on the phone explains that he’s gathered the three of them to work together as treasure hunters. Their first assignment requires Everleigh to be a traveling nurse for Gertie, a retired FBI agent who has one cold case she can’t let go of—the missing Florentine Diamond.
With Everleigh’s keen ability to solve puzzles, Natalie’s vast knowledge of history, and Brooke’s connections to the antiques world, they’re confident they’ll track down the diamond. Gertie’s nephew, Niles Butler, doesn’t believe Everleigh is as innocent as she claims—even as he finds himself fascinated by her—and he’s determined to block every move she makes. If Everleigh can’t drop her walls of self-protection, the diamond treasure won’t be the only thing she’ll lose.
