Wilde Boys Series by Abby Brooks, Will Wright

Meredith Still was the love of my life. My dream girl. Gabe Wilde was my protector. My knight in shining armor. We had our future planned out-together-down to the names of our unborn children. Everything was going according to plan, until it wasn't. Sometimes life happens that way. When I left for college, I never thought I'd be back home for anything longer than a visit. Too many ghosts reminding me of the girl who got away... moreMeredith Still was the love of my life. My dream girl. Gabe Wilde was my protector. My knight in shining armor. We had our future planned out-together-down to the names of our unborn children. Everything was going according to plan, until it wasn't. Sometimes life happens that way. When I left for college, I never thought I'd be back home for anything longer than a visit. Too many ghosts reminding me of the girl who got away. By the time I left for college, my heart was broken, and I was sure I would never feel love like that again. I wasn't sure I even wanted to. After Pop was killed in a car accident I had to come home. Now, after being back for so long, I can't help but wonder what could have been if I hadn't been in such a hurry to leave. Coming home to start over again at thirty-five, well, it wasn't exactly part of my plan. But Imagine my surprise when I run into the one and only Gabe Wilde. Sometimes life happens that way. Can true love survive almost two decades apart? less

Hank Wilde and Mollie Williams grew up in completely different worlds. Worlds neatly tucked away in the same small Northern Colorado town. Hank comes from a large, close-knit family of six boys. The Wildes are pillars of the community, and the family’s ranch, the oldest in the county, stretches back generations. Mollie can count her family on two fingers, a cousin she thinks of like a sister and a niece who she loves more than anything... moreHank Wilde and Mollie Williams grew up in completely different worlds. Worlds neatly tucked away in the same small Northern Colorado town. Hank comes from a large, close-knit family of six boys. The Wildes are pillars of the community, and the family’s ranch, the oldest in the county, stretches back generations. Mollie can count her family on two fingers, a cousin she thinks of like a sister and a niece who she loves more than anything. The only things associated with the Williams’ name are that she’s the happy-go-lucky waitress in the town’s only diner, and the string of felony convictions tied to her dad, uncle, and cousin. None of that matters to Hank and Mollie, though. All they care about is how much better life is when they’re together. But they discover happiness comes at a price when their worlds collide, unleashing chaos in their small community. With Hank’s family suffering a tragic accident and Mollie’s past resurfacing, their future together is anything but certain. less

Tragedy brought me home from war. Twice. The first brought me to her. The second might just tear us apart.   Military life means tomorrow is promised to no one.

My focus has always been defending my country and protecting the men and women in my command.   Until her.   With one shy smile and a few sassy comebacks, she shifts my world. Now my focus is protecting the single mom waiting for me back home... moreTragedy brought me home from war. Twice. The first brought me to her.
