Jasper Creek, Oregon

Four half-sisters who share the same father and the same unusual violet eyes decide to try and save their legacy by moving to their grandfather’s ranch in Jasper Creek. As the Hathaway sisters live and work together for the first time, they bond—and fall in love. Living nearby, their Grandpa Jack is around to offer his sage advice.

TEDDY – Nicole Helm

Sweet-natured Teddy is a virgin because she’s never found a man she wants. But that may change with the entrance of Beau Riley into her life. They share a love for bees. He thinks she is a little strange—but definitely as sweet as honey. As Teddy and Beau keep running into each other, they begin to spend time together. He’s aware she is a virgin and wants to make sure that she absolutely wants them to make love.

Beau wants Teddy but is careful about taking something she wants to give him even though she’s eager. Their romance is sweet and includes bringing him home to meet her sisters. The four (half) sisters have begun to become close. There is lots of advice giving, though it’s not always advice Teddy will accept.

JOEY – Maisey Yates

Joey is a tomboy who knows her way around farm equipment, but she is going to need help from Hollis Logan, who lives on a ranch nearby. Meeting him for the first time, she is stunned at the attraction she feels for him. Joey Hathaway isn’t into guys—until she meets Hollis. They help each other fix the farm equipment and fall in love with each other along the way.

A lot of bantering back and forth happens between Joey and Hollis. They are clearly attracted to each other yet fight that attraction. Joey finally decides to stop seeing Hollis, yet the man is never far from her thoughts. She finally gives in to her feelings and brings him to their Sister Sunday dinners. Will they get their happily-ever-after?

GEORGIE – Jackie Ashenden

Georgie is a baker and has lived in the Jasper Creek area since she was born. Her brother’s best friend, Con Stone, has always been around—a big pain in the rear. Georgie is attracted to him, but he refuses to look at her as anyone other than her brother’s little sister. As much as he annoys her, when Georgie asks him for help, Con is there—and an attraction is sparked between them.

Con has always liked Georgie but felt she was off-limits due to his friendship with her brother. They are both now adults and there is no reason not to act upon those shared feelings. Besides, her baking skills are out of this world. Con hopes to shake her world by having her in his bed.

ELLIOT – Caitlin Crews

Colt West lives on the property next door to the Hathaway ranch and would like to buy theirs. But with the arrival of the sisters and their plan to build a self-subsistence living, his plans to expand go by the wayside. Elliot intrigues him, just as she is by his motherless daughter. Elliot bonds with his daughter by giving her pottery lessons—and Colt gives Elliot lessons in lovemaking.

As a single father, Colt has to be careful who he brings around his daughter, but the two females get along. It takes a little bit more before Colt is thawed out, though he’s attracted to Elliot. But can there be any future for them? He’s not looking for marriage because his focus is on raising his daughter.

Each of the four short stories overlaps at times, meaning that there may be a discussion in a scene that was already seen prior. But each tale is from the point of view of a sister. They were all raised by single mothers, and it reflects how they see love and marriage. The main thing they all agree on is that they will be there for each other—and their grandfather. Will Teddy, Joey, Georgie, and Elliot find love and happiness with their respective cowboy? Grab a copy of SWEET HOME COWBOY to find out.
