Sterling Monedero is not your typical necromancer. Even with the game system and mancer class forced onto him by the alien monoliths known as Godwalkers, Sterling just wants to farm his peppers in peace and live out the rest of his troubled existence in quiet. He did that whole 'trying to get revenge on the Godwalkers' thing five years ago, and failed miserably. But when the Godwalkers show back up for their own bit of revenge - and Killbilly bandits appear trying to impose a pepper tax - the tough-as-bones loner decides enough is enough. It's time to reassemble the team, kick some much needed ass, and put an end to the alien threat once and for all. Or die trying. Set in a richly imagined post-apocalyptic New Mexico, this gritty LitRPG western features superpowered mancers, terrifying animal-skeletal hybrids, an intricate game system, and a big dose of Southwestern mysticism. Inspired by The Dark Tower, Old Man Logan, and Red Dead Redemption, best-selling author Harmon Cooper takes you on a high-octane thrill ride through desolate landscapes and dystopian urban decay, on an adventure that doesn't know how to back down from a challenge.
A mix up with accommodations leaves a grumpy cowboy and a curvy bombshell stranded at their friend’s ranch resort wedding on the Santa Barbara Coast. I’d given up on ever finding another woman to share my life with. When Amanda died, my world ended too. But the work on my family’s Montana ranch leaves me too exhausted to waste time reminiscing about what might’ve been. Even though I’ve soured on love, I didn't have the heart to turn down the invitation to my buddy’s destination wedding in California. To say I was surprised when I discovered I wasn’t alone in my seaside cottage, is putting it mildly. One look at Sophia’s curves in that short little nighty was enough to make my head spin. I won’t even mention what I was tempted to do to her the next day on a public beach. Let’s just say slathering that suntan lotion on her luscious body put me over the edge. I’m not the kind of man to kiss and tell, so don’t expect me to divulge what we did during the rehearsal dinner. I’ll let you find that out for yourself. One thing is for sure though, when the time comes for us to head back home to Montana, if I have it my way, Sophia will be mine forever. Hot Cowboy Summer is a short, sweet and steamy, cowboy-loves-his-curvy girl romance. The story is a perfect length for when you’re craving a satisfyingly romantic escape during a flight, while lounging by the pool, or just before bed. *Standalone Read. *Happily ever after guaranteed. . . . .

"Chemistry so electric it flies off the page."—RT Book Reviews 4 stars for Caught Up in a Cowboy What will this cowboy risk for love? Colt James is back home on the family ranch, and he's done taking risks. A car accident ruined his shot at a professional hockey career and messed up his love life, and he's not taking a chance on anything that seems too good to be true.

Life goes from managed to messy when Colt talks her into helping him coach a hockey team of rowdy eight-year-olds. Being this close to the cowboy she's crushing on is dangerous territory.
