Impossible Love

Yosemite Ranch Book 1

by Gracie Owens

Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance



Victoria:


I came to Yosemite Ranch to close a land deal and make partner.
Instead, I find temptation.

His name is Cal MacLaine. A smoking-hot ex-Navy SEAL and billionaire with breathtaking violet eyes. With a side of first-born-son: overprotective, suspicious, honorable to a fault. He thinks it’s his mission to protect his family’s ranch.

And keep me from reaching my objectives.

Will I close this deal? Will he send me packing? Or will we both find what we’ve always wanted in the most impossible of places…in one another’s arms?


Cal:

This redhead in her ridiculous stiletto heels has no business here.

Sure, she’s the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen. Sure, there’s an undeniable attraction between us. But she’s set her sights on a chunk of our family ranch.

I don’t trust her.

She says she’s in mergers and acquisitions. Sorry, gorgeous—I won’t be buying what you’re selling. So how has she succeeded where every other woman has failed? How is she knocking down the impenetrable wall I’ve built around my world—and my heart? I can’t fall in love with Victoria Backlund.

It’s impossible.

Impossible Love is a small town, enemies to lovers, billionaire, military contemporary romance and the first book in the Yosemite Ranch series. Yosemite Ranch…Every woman deserves an alpha hero.

Love Walks In

Yosemite Ranch Book 2  


Finn:

When my wife died in childbirth, I knew my guilt and grief would never heal.

I try to focus on the life that’s right in front of me. Jasmine, the eight-year-old daughter I worry I’m failing. The successful tech company I started with my brothers. And training horses at my family’s Yosemite Ranch.

Until the day Emma Clark walks in…

Radiating beauty and kindness despite her own pain. A miracle I never saw coming, and a temptation I can’t fight. Can I trust the unbreakable bond she forms with Jasmine? Can I forgive myself enough to welcome love again? And if I go looking into her past, will I find more than any of us bargained for?


Emma:

I know I’m damaged.


Foster care, loneliness, and minimum-wage work will do that to a girl. But I’m nobody’s victim, no matter what’s in my past. What I am is a realist, and I’m sure love isn’t in the cards for me.

Until Finn MacLaine’s gaze meets my own…

The insanely handsome former Navy SEAL is my new boss. And strictly off limits. But the attraction is too intense to ignore. The connection is too strong to break.

Is love, family, and true belonging suddenly within my grasp? Or am I just a housekeeper longing for the impossible?

Love Walks In is a small town, single dad, billionaire, military contemporary romance and the second book in the Yosemite Ranch series. Yosemite Ranch…Every woman deserves an alpha hero.

“This book has all the twists and turns that make a thriller worth reading” – Amazon

Victoria’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems. But with two homicide detectives on her doorstep, it’s about to get a lot worse.

Still reeling from the shocking discovery that her husband is having a passionate affair with his real estate client, Victoria struggles to process the mind-blowing news that Nick’s lover is dead—brutally murdered in cold blood on the very same evening she uncovered the truth.

And now two detectives are on her doorstep, waiting to question both of them. Is she a suspect?

With little hard evidence and no shortage of suspects with “killer motives,” Detectives Jack Stark and Lexi Sanchez are under intense pressure to solve the high-profile murder case that rocks the picturesque village of Tarrytown just as the town is gearing up for the area’s annual Halloween festivities and an influx of tourists.

As Victoria sets out to clear herself and find out the truth, she’s faced with two terrifying possibilities—either her husband is a murderer or someone is out to get them.

Conflicted about her marriage and emotionally raw, she sets out to find the truth about what happened that night.

But does she really want to know?

Date Published:  June 2024




















The Gariboldi Affair

 

 

Crime – Murder – Guilt – Redemption

 

Colonel Emilio Gariboldi is a complex man. He is also a veteran of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War.

An idealist as a young man, he had hoped to emulate his hero Italo Balbo and hence joined the Italian air force.

A fatal encounter with an enemy intruder while camped with his air force unit on the heights of an elevated plateau near Axum in the northern parts of Ethiopia changes his life forever.

The discovery of the body of a young black woman prisoner found in bed next to him cements his embroilment with a criminal organization involved in human trafficking.

Almost two decades later, another young black girl is found dead at the foot of the Terzano Tower in Campobasso.

Are the crimes related?


About the Author


I was born in Montorio nei Frentani, province of Campobasso, in the Molise region of Italy. My father, Costanzo Nicodemo, emigrated to Canada and worked in Montreal, Quebec. The rest of the family followed later. My parents then built their home in the northeast of Montreal where I spent most of my early years.

I graduated from Loyola College and went on to obtain my Master’s degree in physics at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. A paper was published from that work in the Journal of Polymer Science Part A-2: Polymer Physics.

Afterwards, I traveled throughout Europe and Egypt. Once back in Montreal, I started a music retail business and later went on to music production. One international hit came out of that endeavor: ‘Living on Video’ by the Montreal group Trans-X.

I am now retired and living in Nova Scotia with my friend Louise, dogs Daisy & Boo, & cat Cora.

Brekke Elle is a word tinker, coffee drinker, and has clumsy thumbs (or so she claims to excuse typos!). A Georgia peach living in the heart of North Carolina, Brekke has traveled and lived around the world – including attending the University of Cambridge in England, interning for an NGO in rural Cambodia, and working at a university in Northern California. Along the way she has collected stories (and a bit of bad poetry too). Her first real desire to become a writer (more than just wanting to be Jo March when she was 9) was after reading SABRIEL by Garth Nix. It was the first world she ever wanted to fall sideways into, and she has been recreating those lush worlds for readers ever since.

When she’s not losing herself in her imaginary universes, Brekke spends most of her time chasing her four kids (including twin toddlers!), canning up homecooked chicken broth, and volunteering at a neighborhood community garden. Her favorite color is black (no, really), her favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast (preferable one of Robin McKinley’s retellings), and her favorite drink is coffee until 3pm, then it’s a full bodied Pinot Noir.

Now 80 years old, retirement and advanced age have dissipated the spirit of six college radicals of the 1960s, who jointly had participated in civil rights campaigns and anti-war protests.

Struggling with whether to go, each of them has divergent qualms and expectations for the proposed gathering.

During their three days together, they confront their inner demons, each other, and their future. Does Rebecca, the prime mover of the event, find solace after losing her wife and career? Can Malaika regain her sense of self after stepping down from her successful law practice? Mourning the loss of her youthful athletic prowess and attractiveness, what happens when Deanna faces her old friends?

Struggling with two divorces and a failing marriage, can Russell attain peace of mind? How will Max, an expat living in Canada, manage with his incipient dementia? Will the demoralized Keith recover his idealism?
