Ransom Canyon (Ransom Canyon 1) by Jodi Thomas
From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas comes
the first book in a compelling, emotionally resonant series set in a remote
west Texas
town—where family can be made by blood or by choice
Rancher Staten Kirkland, the last descendant of Ransom Canyon's founding father, is rugged and practical to the last. No one knows that when his troubling memories threaten to overwhelm him, he runs to lovely, reclusive Quinn O'Grady…or that she has her own secret that no one living knows.
Young Lucas Reyes has his eye on the prize—college, and the chance to become something more than a ranch hand's son. But one night, one wrong decision, will set his life on a course even he hadn't imagined.
Yancy Grey is running hard from his troubled past. He doesn't plan to stick around Ransom Canyon, just long enough to learn the town's weaknesses and how to use them for personal gain. Only Yancy, a common criminal since he was old enough to reach a car's pedals, isn't prepared for what he encounters.
In this dramatic new series, the lives, loves and ambitions of four families will converge, set against a landscape that can be as unforgiving as it is beautiful, where passion, property and pride are worth fighting—and even dying—for.
Rustler's Moon (Ransom Canyon 2) by Jodi Thomas
On a dirt road marked by haunting secrets, three strangers caught at life's crossroads must decide what to sacrifice to protect their own agendas…and what they're each willing to risk for love.If there's any place that can convince Angela Harold to stop running, it's Ransom Canyon. And if there's any man who can reveal desires more deeply hidden than her every fear, it's Wilkes Wagner. Beneath the rancher's honorable exterior is something that just might keep her safe…or unwittingly put her in danger's path.
With his dreams of leaving this small Texas town swallowed up by hard, dusty reality, all Wilkes has to show for his life is the Devil's Fork Ranch. Though not one to let false hope seduce him, he can't deny the quiet and cautious beauty who slips into his world and changes everything.
Lauren Brigman finally has freedom at her fingertips. All she needs is Lucas Reyes's attention—a look, a touch, some sign that she's more to him than a girl he rescued one dangerous night. But now it's her turn to rescue someone, and the life-altering decision may cost her more than a chance with Lucas.
Lone Heart Pass (Ransom Canyon 3) by Jodi Thomas
Where family bonds are made and broken, and where young love sparks as old flames grow dim, Ransom Canyon is ready to welcome—and shelter—those who need it
With a career and a relationship in ruins, Jubilee Hamilton is left reeling from a fast fall to the bottom. The run-down Texas farm she's inherited is a far cry from the second chance she hoped for, but it and the abrasive foreman she's forced to hire are all she's got.
Every time Charley Collins has let a woman get close, he's been burned. So Lone Heart ranch and the contrary woman who owns it are merely a means to an end, until Jubilee tempts him to take another risk—to stop resisting the attraction drawing them together despite all his hard-learned logic.
Desperation is all young Thatcher Jones knows. And when he finds himself mixed up in a murder investigation, his only protection is the shelter of a man and woman who—just like him—need someone to trust.
A fifth-generation Texan, New York Times and USA Todaybestselling author Jodi Thomas
chooses to set the majority of her novels in her home state, where her
grandmother was born in a covered wagon. A former teacher, Thomas traces the
beginning of her storytelling career to the days when her twin sisters were
young and impressionable.
With a degree in family studies, Thomas is a
marriage and family counselor by education, a background that enables her to
write about family dynamics. Honored in 2002 as a Distinguished Alumni by Texas
Tech University in Lubbock, Thomas enjoys interacting with students on the West
Texas A&M University campus, where she currently serves as Writer in
Residence.
Commenting on her contribution to the arts, Thomas
said, “When I was teaching classes full-time, I thought I was making the world a
better place. Now I think of a teacher or nurse or mother settling back and
relaxing with one of my books. I want to take her away on an adventure that will
entertain her. Maybe, in a small way, I’m still making the world a better
place.”
When not working on a novel or inspiring students
to pursue a writing career, Thomas enjoys traveling with her husband, renovating
a historic home they bought in Amarillo and “checking up” on their two grown
sons.
