RUGGED
HEARTS, BOOK I, in this series features Wyatt Kinnison,
oldest of his three brothers. Aside from his stellar dark
and brooding good looks, Wyatt is the quintessential
first-born son. His headstrong, take-charge attitude (some
might call him, bossy.) makes him the one chosen to stay at
the ranch and make sure things there are running smoothly.
After a long day of checking fences and watching for
predators to his cattle, Wyatt likes to kick back, watch a
little bull riding on TV, or settle down with a good book.
He also enjoys taking classes through an online community
college on topics that interest him. But it's his chance
meeting with second grade teacher, Aimee Worth and later
when he goes head-to-head in his on line poetry class with
an unknown fellow student, that his sequestered life begins
to unravel. Visit my author page (Amanda McIntyre) here at

RUSTLERS
HEART, BOOK II, in the Kinnsion Legacy, features the
story of Rein Mackenzie. Jed Kinnison's nephew. Youngest of
Jed's three "sons, "he comes to live with his uncle when his
parents are killed in a tragic accident—one that Rein
carries a guilt inside about. Studious, quiet, Rein learns
all there is to know about the ranch, goes to college and
takes over the business side of the ranch. The tall,
fair-haired, blue-eye Rein, once burned bad by love, now
turns to bringing to fruition his uncle's dream of making
the Last Hope Ranch a place where others can find hope and
heal, just as his non-traditional sons were able to do.
An avid hunter, fisherman and horseman, Rein's passion for
designing and building with his hands, stems from his love
of nature and the Native American history engrained in the
land. Rein loves hanging with friends at Dusty's Bar, but
most days would rather be in his workshop surrounded by the
scent of shaved wood chips and strong coffee. An easy-going
guy, he finds himself playing referee to his two brothers.
Confident, intelligent, and often the peacemaker of the
family, once Rein makes up his mind on a matter, he goes
after it with a vengeance.
Which is why the arrival of Liberty Belle
Stenapolas—the recently discovered half-sister of his
brothers--throws a kink into his well-laid plans. While the
rest of the family and community accept her, Rein
fights—with every possible reason—his growing
attraction to her. Liberty has the same trouble, about ready
to give up on her silly infatuation, until one night when
neither wants to fight anymore. What is supposed to be
nothing more than a hot, summer fling, takes a deadly turn
when Liberty's past catches up to her, endangering
everything and everyone they both love.
