    About this series

    Changing Your Life Won’t Make Things Easier

    Book 4 in Terry Odell’s Colorado-based Triple-D Ranch Romantic Suspense series catches up with the cowboys. There’s more to ranch life than minding the cattle.

    Cowhand Frank Wembly loves his work on the Triple-D Ranch. After his stint in the army as a Ranger, he relishes the peaceful life in the Colorado mountains. However, the ranch is in financial straits, and a cattle rustler threatens to destroy what he’s grown to love. Meeting Kiera when she’s stranded on the ranch has Frank wondering if he should rethink his “no attachments, no strings” lifestyle. But first, he has to call on his army skills to help keep the Triple-D running.

    Financial advisor Kiera O’Leary thinks her new boss might be guilty of more than sexual harassment, so she takes advantage of her use it or lose it vacation time before she officially quits. She sets off to pursue her dream of being a photographer—until a car-meets-cow incident forces a shift in plans. She refuses to be a guest at the Triple-D ranch and insists on trading her bookkeeping skills for room and board to help get the ranch’s finances in order. She’s falling for one of the ranch hands, but things are heating up at home. Meanwhile, she finds herself in the middle of a mystery—one with potentially deadly consequences.

      She trusts everyone. He trusts no one. In her job as a Sheriff’s Department Dispatcher, Cecily Cooper sees plenty of people who could use a second chance. She’s created a program to give the less advantaged a fresh start, and thinks her brother’s Colorado cattle ranch will be the perfect spot for her project. Some responsibility and a touch of physical labor will help these people find an alternative to life on the streets. Bryce Barrett, ex-Army Ranger now turned cowhand on the Triple-D Ranch, prefers animals to people. People have agendas. Animals don’t. It’s one reason he and Cecily are always on-again, off-again in the relationship department. When seventeen-year-old Grady Fenton is chosen as the first candidate for Cecily’s program, Cecily is thrilled. Bryce not so much, especially when his boss assigns him to be Grady’s mentor. Can Bryce convince Cecily there’s more to Grady than typical teenage angst? Or is he reading more into the boy’s behavior than is really there? When someone is killing cattle across the state, the Triple-D’s herd is no exception. Does Grady have answers? Sparks fly when Bryce and Cecily must put aside their differences long enough to discover what Grady is hiding. Soon things escalate, and it’s not just cattle in danger.

      When there's trouble, he has your back. For Tim Halloran, Army Ranger turned cowboy, a simple life on a cattle ranch with no strings is his idea of perfection. Maybe he’ll have a ranch of his own someday. Meanwhile, ranching lets him forget his haunting wartime experiences as an army sniper, and being the ranch clown is his coping mechanism. Bad jokes and a love ’em and leave ’em lifestyle make his world turn. But meeting Rebecca Morgan soon has his world spinning in another direction. To Tim, she’s a mystery. She must have been absent the day she was scheduled to receive her sense of humor, and when she ignores his overtures, Tim is determined to break through her serious exterior. Little does he know, the secrets she’s hiding will turn his life upside down. What will he give up to keep her safe—even if it turns out to be Rebecca? Rebecca Morgan needs a high-paying job to help cover her five-year-old nephew’s skyrocketing medical expenses. Her farming background left her without marketable job skills, but she’s confident once she completes a culinary school course, she’ll find a job as a private chef for the rich and famous. She’s accepted into a cooking program, one she’s sure will solve her problems. Dismayed when the vocational cooking school is connected to a cattle ranch of all things, but needing her certificate, she’s willing to overlook the location. Then she meets Tim Halloran, one of the cowboys. A man is the last thing she’s looking for, and an impoverished cowboy is well below the last item on her list. But when her ex comes back into her life, threatening her family, Rebecca will stop at nothing to thwart his plans, even if it means a reluctant partnership with a cowboy—a wisecracking man who seems to be working his way into her heart. Things escalate, and she’s faced with a choice. Will she accept her ex’s demands for her nephew’s sake? Or will she find happiness with a jokester cowhand?

    Terry Odell

    Terry Odell began writing by mistake, when her son mentioned a television show and she thought she’d be a good mom and watch it so they’d have common ground for discussions. Little did she know she would enter the world of writing, first via fan fiction, then through Internet groups, and finally in groups with real, live partners. Her first publications were short stories, but she found more freedom in longer works and began what she thought was a mystery. Her daughters told her it was a romance so she began learning more about the genre and craft. Now a multi-published, award winning author, Terry resides with her husband and rescue dog in the mountains of Colorado. You can learn more about her books, social media accounts, and sign up for her newsletter via her website.
