The Ponderosa Resort Romantic Comedy Series invites you to small-town Central Oregon where two sisters work to get their reindeer ranch up and running while the siblings down the road transform their late father's ranch into a luxury resort (all while getting to know each other because they grew up with different moms. Er, Dad got around). Fans of laughter, tears, and tingly bits will love this series from a USA Today bestselling author. This boxed set contains books 7-9 in the Ponderosa Resort series.

About Captain Dreamboat (book 7)

The problem with being the family do-gooder? Sometimes you need to be bad.

Or selfish, or whatever it's called when I lock lips with Blanka Pavlo in a hospital hallway. I'm nuts about the sexy science goddess, but it's a dick move to ditch a lifetime of rescue work staying here instead of heading back out on the high seas.

But it turns out donating an organ gets you grounded a while. A few months at my family's resort means more time with Blanka, and more chances she'll notice I suck at self-care.

She has a point, and also a plan. That's how I end up tied to my headboard with balloon animals, adopting a homely cat, and joining Blanka for a bubble bath that's way steamier than any fully-clothed event ought to be.

It's almost enough to make a guy forget why he's spent a lifetime struggling to cancel out the sins of dear ol' dad.

Almost.

About Snowbound Squeeze (book 8)

A SPECIAL PONDEROSA RESORT NOVELLA!

Rule one when seeking a secret mountain hideaway: Be certain the cabin's unoccupied. Also, make sure there's no blizzard coming.

I've screwed up all of that before I get the key in the door, which shouldn't be a shock. God knows I've messed up plenty of things lately. Is it too much to want a hideout from Hollywood headlines in a place no one knows my name?

Maybe not, since Gretchen Laslo has zero clue who I am. That's the upside of being snowed-in with a stunning professor whose impressive list of appliances includes two ice cream makers and no television.

The downside? Cocoa and blanket forts lead to toe-curling sex, which leads to me kinda-sorta forgetting to tell her the paparazzi's on my tail.

It's a matter of time before she finds out. When that happens, our wintry romance will melt faster than two snowmen boning in a sauna.

About Dr. Hot Stuff (book 9)

Racing heart? Check. Damp palms? Check. All signs indicate I've got it bad for Lady Isabella Blankenship.

It could be contagious, since Iz shows all the same symptoms. But what's got her pulling back anytime things blaze between us?

I know a modern-day duchess might have baggage from finding out she's the illegitimate child of a dead American philanderer with more kids than morals. But Izzy's on edge, and there's more to it than run-of-the-mill culture shock.

Turns out I'm not the only guy drawn to her. She's shadowed 24/7 by protective siblings, an amorous pig named Kevin, and a deadly-looking stranger skulking around Ponderosa Resort. It's more drama than I've seen since my days as an Army doc, so I'm happy to lend Iz a shoulder or any body part she needs.

But what are my odds of diagnosing what ails Izzy before my royal crush makes a run for it?
