AN ORDINARY GIRL... IN AN ORDINARY WORLD.

Nikki Tyler knows exactly what she is—and where she belongs. She's a Tyler—and that means Masterson County.

When the most sought-after producer in Hollywood wants to make a documentary about her family, Nikki reluctantly agrees to help. But...she hadn't counted on Hunter Clark.

HE IS MORE THAN JUST AN ACTOR.

Hunter is considered the hottest action star in Hollywood, but he wants to be far more than that. He wants to produce—to create. To have people speak his words.

When he's given the opportunity to do just that, Hunter jumps at the chance. Even though he knows it means... her.

Nikki.

The one woman Hunter has never forgotten. Hunter knows he's not the kind of man a real woman like Nikki needs—but he just can't keep it professional between them.

He just...can't.

JUST A TEMPORARY THING.

Nikki knows Hunter's time in Masterson is only temporary. So...

She'll just love him while she can. And protect her heart somehow... L.A. is already calling his name.

But someone doesn't like the hold Nikki has over Hunter, and he'll stop at nothing to get Hunter back to where he thinks Hunter belongs. Even kill the one woman standing in his way.

Can Nikki survive long enough to show Hunter just how real the love between a Hollywood man and a small-town girl can be?

MEANING IN MASTERSON is a full-length, small-town western romantic suspense novel and part of the Masterson County connected stand-alone series. The Masterson County series contains scenes of violence, adventure, occasional dark criminal behavior, moderate cursing—especially by villains, a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers. The Masterson County books contain the same level of descriptive content as a typical crime drama on network television—but good always wins out in the end, guaranteed.
