The Corbin Brothers Series by Lexie Ray

Hunter People weren't supposed to live through what I lived through, and most of the time, I wish I hadn't. I came away from military service fucked up beyond all recognition, slinking back to my family's cattle ranch in Texas to heal, my tail between my legs. Well, leg. Singular. My brothers hire Hadley Parsons to put me back together again, and she's supposed to be the best of the best, tough and beautiful to boot... moreHunter People weren't supposed to live through what I lived through, and most of the time, I wish I hadn't. I came away from military service fucked up beyond all recognition, slinking back to my family's cattle ranch in Texas to heal, my tail between my legs. Well, leg. Singular. My brothers hire Hadley Parsons to put me back together again, and she's supposed to be the best of the best, tough and beautiful to boot. I’d kick her to the curb right away and get back to guzzling beer and letting my muscles atrophy, but dammit…the woman sure knows how to get a guy’s attention. Maybe it’s her flashing green eyes, or the toss of her auburn hair, or her earnest determination – whatever it is, I’m suddenly a lot more interested in PT than I was a minute ago. Hadley When I walk into my newest client’s living room, I can see I have my work cut out for me. Oh, it doesn’t bother me – I’m made of tougher stuff than it seems, and I don’t mind getting down and dirty if I need to. I don’t even mind the insults he lashes out with, or his surly attitude. Besides, something tells me this guy is worth my trouble. Beneath the grime, I see a strong man, a handsome man – a man who’s capable of anything, who can take back his power. I’ll do whatever it takes to get Hunter back on his feet…which is probably a good thing, because I’m about to seriously push some boundaries. ***Hunter can be read as a standalone book. For a limited time only, my first series: RUNAWAY is included as a bonus. less

Avery This beautiful heiress just might be the only way to save my ranch…but at what cost? Good God, Paisley Summers could not have picked a worse time to hit on me. The gorgeous annoyance decides to come on to me while I’m drowning my sorrows at the only bar in town, mourning the impending foreclosure of my family’s ranch. I actually don’t care about the ranch itself – but I do care about my brothers, and it’s their whole world... moreAvery This beautiful heiress just might be the only way to save my ranch…but at what cost? Good God, Paisley Summers could not have picked a worse time to hit on me. The gorgeous annoyance decides to come on to me while I’m drowning my sorrows at the only bar in town, mourning the impending foreclosure of my family’s ranch. I actually don’t care about the ranch itself – but I do care about my brothers, and it’s their whole world. To be fair to her, there’s no way she could have known my problems when she approached me. But to be fair to me, this definitely isn’t the first time I’ve had to resist her charms. I’ve been dodging her advances for twelve years at least, but the woman cannot take a hint! Most of the men in this godawful little prison of a town probably think I’m insane – Paisley is drop dead gorgeous, with a killer body, a refined manner, and enough of her daddy’s money to buy the whole place up. But maybe that’s the problem. Maybe she’s just too perfect for the likes of me. Paisley He’s so much more than a rugged rancher – I just have to help him be the man I see inside. Avery Corbin is simply the most frustrating man. He’s sexy as hell, toned and tanned from ranch work, but he just won’t take yes for an answer. I’ve practically had to throw myself at him since high school! Sure, I could probably have any guy in town…but I want him. I want the man who always chooses the hard road, who does the right thing, who dreams of a better life. The only problem with dreamers is, they tend to miss what’s right in front of them. Well, not anymore. Avery is going to see me now – and he won’t be able to resist me this time. ***Hunter can be read as a standalone book.

Emmett She’s fierce. Gorgeous. Elusive. Even a little dangerous… Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be paying the likes of Peyton Crow for her time. I knew I wanted company tonight – that’s why I came to the bar in the first place. I just didn’t expect myself to approach her, the beautiful, mysterious Peyton... moreEmmett She’s fierce. Gorgeous. Elusive. Even a little dangerous… Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be paying the likes of Peyton Crow for her time. I knew I wanted company tonight – that’s why I came to the bar in the first place. I just didn’t expect myself to approach her, the beautiful, mysterious Peyton. The woman who can hypnotize a guy with just a toss of her sleek, dark hair, or a twist of her gorgeous body… She’ll do just about anything if the price is right – except let a man get truly close to her. I doubt she’s ever heard a proposition like mine, though. All I want from her is precious information, because I’m sure, considering who her father is, she knows plenty about my secret passion: horses. Horses are the key to saving the Corbin Ranch, I’m sure of it…I just need to know more. I need a business partner. That means that Peyton herself is the key to saving our ranch, to making my dreams come true…maybe in more ways than one. Peyton Corbin is kind, handsome, ambitious…the perfect man…for some other girl. I’ve gotten to know a lot of men over the years. I guess you could call it my profession. I’ve found that most men are just different shades of the same boring bastard, with few good ones thrown in. Emmett Corbin, though, is a little more interesting. He first caught my eye back in high school, and he’s grown up to be a fine-looking man. And he has ambition, passion, which is unique in this middle-of-nowhere town. He’s about as intriguing to me as a guy can get. But the trick to keeping things professional, to holding myself together, is to keep most everyone at arm’s length. I’m a loner for a reason…always have been. Nothing can change that – not Corbin’s business plan, good intentions…radiant smile…nothing. less
