MacKenzie-Blackthorn Series by Elizabeth Lowell

No one who roamed the steep green mountains and red-rock canyons of Utah Territory was safe from El Cascabel and his renegade warriors - not Janna Wayland, not the wild stallion Lucifer - not even Ty MacKenzie, the stranger who had come for the stallion, and stayed to capture Janna's heart. Now all three must join forces and make their escape, or die trying.

Not since they day he'd sent his best friend's kid sister storming from the Rocking M Ranch and out of his life -- for what he thought was forever . . .

Fire And Rain

Mariah had returned home to her sprawling Colorado ranch with nothing but a battered car, some clothes and a map for gold. And what she got was an ornery prospecting partner named Cash, with a chip on his shoulder as big as the Rockies and a past that was chasing him. Cash couldn't hide his distrust . . . or his awareness of her sensuality.

He's a rancher by trade and a warrior by nature -- an ex-CIA Agent who's seen too much of human tragedy not to have it affect his own outlook on life. But then Nevada Blackthorn meets beautiful wildlife biologist Eden Summers and suddenly the world as he knows it is turned upside down. Forced to face his own deeply hidden fears, he must prepare himself to wage war against the greatest challenge ever -- a battle of the heart.
