Two siblings. Two unforgettable love stories. One small town full of heat, heart, and happily-ever-afters. From New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend, dive into the first two standalone romances in the Thompson & Sons series—where loyal men and fearless women find love that's worth holding on to.

As the sheltered princess of Sector One, Maricela's life is defined by duty: to her people and to her family. Her wealth and influence have allowed her to build a better world, but they come with a price - the responsibility to secure political stability with a practical marriage. Maricela cherishes the idea of marrying for love, but there's not much romance in the endless line of suitors interested only in prestige and power. And her handsome, brooding new bodyguard isn't helping the situation.

Matt Coleman thought he’d have it all by now—a wife, a family, a future set in stone. Instead, he’s got a busy ranch, an empty bed, and no interest in trusting anyone with his heart again. Casual? Sure. Complicated? Never. Hope Meridan doesn’t have time for romance. Between running her quilt shop and picking up the pieces after her sister bailed, she’s too busy surviving to even think about falling for someone. Especially not the rugged cowboy who still carries a scar from her sister’s betrayal.

Jesse Coleman swore he’d never come back. Leaving the ranch—and the guilt that came with it—was the only way he knew how to breathe. But one whiskey-fueled night with a beautiful stranger changes everything. Darilyn Hayes burns bright, laughs louder, and makes him forget the past…then disappears. Four weeks later, Dare discovers her wild night left her with more than memories. She’s pregnant—and her mystery cowboy is nowhere to be found. Independent to the bone, she’s ready to raise her baby on her own.

In part one of Gone: Sending a half-naked picture to a stranger she met online seems innocent and fun to Lilly Randall. After spending the past four years working toward an honors degree, she needs a distraction, and flirting with a man she doesn't know can't hurt, right? Clive Parker is the one man who holds all of Lilly's dreams in the palm of his hand. He's the CEO of one of the world's largest technology firms. When her picture ends up in his pocket, her future will never be the same again.

After years away, Mark Coleman is finally ready to return to Rocky Mountain House. Once, leaving was the only way to protect his family from the fallout of his choices. Now, with time and distance behind him, there’s one thing calling him home stronger than ever—Dana. The woman he’s always loved. The one he lost because he waited too long. Now that she’s ready to build a new future, Mark’s determined to prove that love doesn’t fade with age—it deepens, strengthens, and waits for the right moment. This time, he’s not letting her go.

Marisol locks me out of my own concert by accident. She's wearing a suit at a rock show, searching for her lost law school textbook, has no idea who I am, and for the first time in years, I'm hooked. She's smart, driven, and utterly gorgeous. The sort of girl who earnestly believes in following the rules and hates when others don't. I'm a huge rock star, recovering addict, and general f--kup. Our relationship is for show and that's all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more.

Raphael (Angel) Coleman has loved Laurel Sitko for as long as he can remember. The rancher’s son and the preacher’s daughter—two opposites who always fit. Their friendship got him through the hardest parts of growing up, but now that she’s back in Rocky Mountain House, Rafe’s done pretending friendship is enough. After years away, Laurel’s ready to come home and build a new future. Rafe’s presence and smile feel like safety and temptation all at once. But her return brings more than small-town gossip—her ex isn’t ready to let go, and Rafe’s protective instincts are burning hotter than ever.

Troy Thompson has never pretended to be anything more than the guy you don’t bring home to Mom. Charming, confident, and a little too good with his hands, he’s made peace with being the town’s favorite cautionary tale. Until Nicole Adams—their secret fling turned impossible addiction—walks away. She wants commitment, stability, a future. The thought of her finding that with someone else? Not a chance.

We live in a world of darkness and shadows, where monsters hide and aim to ruin. And they did. They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares. But now we're back. And we're fighting. Not just for us or for each other but for our light.

Trevor Coleman’s used to keeping things simple—family, work, and the occasional good time. But when a stranger literally falls into his arms, everything changes. Becky Hall stirs every protective instinct he has, and the more he learns about her, the more determined he becomes to keep her safe. Becky’s starting over with nothing but her courage and a new name. Escaping her past wasn’t easy, but finding kindness—and the gentle strength of one rugged cowboy—makes her believe a new life might actually be possible.

Maggie Ward’s life fell apart in one terrible night, and nothing feels safe anymore—except Clay Thompson. He’s been her steady place to land, her protector, her friend. But when the silence between them starts to crack with unspoken need, Maggie realizes she’s clinging to the one man she’s never supposed to want. She swore she wouldn’t break again…but every time Clay looks at her, she forgets how to breathe.

Len Thompson’s spent years doing the right thing—keeping his hands off the one woman he wants more than his next breath. Janey Watson is off-limits, his sister’s best friend, and far too good for a man with grease on his hands and ghosts in his past. But when she announces she’s leaving Rocky Mountain House for good, Len’s self-control goes up in smoke. If she’s walking away, he’s not letting her go without finally knowing what it feels like to love her—completely.

Lee Coleman isn’t looking for another heartbreak. Eight months ago, he fell for a woman who chose someone else, and he’s spent every day since trying to forget her. When a blizzard forces him to take shelter in a remote mountain cabin, the last thing he expects is a second chance—with the one who got away. Rachel Malone’s done with love. After catching her ex cheating, she’s promised herself no more hearts, no more hopes—just freedom. But being snowed in with a rugged cowboy who knows how to make her laugh again? That’s a temptation she can’t resist.

Steve Coleman used to coast through life—no plans, no pressure, and no idea what he really wanted. Until the night Melody Langley dumped him in front of half the town and made it clear: she was done waiting for him to grow up. Ten months later, Steve’s got a new focus, a work ethic that would make his brothers proud, and one goal in mind—win Melody back. Melody’s not the same woman he lost, either. She’s built a career as a small town vet in places that don’t make it easy for women to prove themselves. She’s not falling for charm or cowboy swagger this time.

Life's been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him.

When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together. She's a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world.

Phelan: I met my fated mate and she turned my world upside down. She's human, and doesn't believe we are fated to be together, but our chemistry can't be denied. Which is why I had to use a time-honored wolf tradition from the old country. Mating by capture. I know this is technically called, "kidnapping" in the human world, and she'll try to bolt the second she is able to. But she's mine, she's not going anywhere, and I'll do whatever it takes to hold onto her.
