The Accidental Tourist [electronic resource] : by Tyler, Anne.aut; cloudLibrary;
Macon Leary likes the ordinary. A travel writer who hates travel, he prefers instead to indulge in the comforts of home. His travel guides, authored with the traveling businessman in mind, offers not the points of interest, but the places of familiarity in these foreign locales.       But with his son's death, Leary's simple, orderly life is thrown into chaos. His marriage is crumbling around him, his wife Sarah has left him, and an injury forces him to move back in with his siblings accompanied by his dog Edward, who is too willful to be negotiated with. Leary is out of his depth, until he meets the charming and vivacious Muriel, a dog-obedience trainer with a strange sense of fashion and a whirlwind of personality. Wrangling both Edward and Macon, Muriel up-ends Macon's insular world and thrusts him headlong into a remarkable engagement with life.

So when an injury lands him six weeks of physical therapy, he intends to keep right on working-until his grandmother hires a therapist to stay at their family ranch.

The rival / by Yates, Maisey,author.;
"Cowboy Levi Granger is his own man. He's proud of his ranch, and he's proud of the siblings he brought up after the devastating loss of their parents. The only thing he's not proud of is the way the Sullivan family took advantage of him when he was struggling the most. So when pretty Quinn Sullivan comes looking to access his land for a business venture, the kick of attraction is as shocking as it is unwelcome! Book-smart Quinn can more than hold her own when it comes to arrogant cowboys. But there's something about Levi that gets under her skin. Maybe it's his ease around the ranch or his smoldering good looks--or maybe it's the way he stares at her like he hates her but maybe also wants to kiss her. Quinn isn't one to back down easily, but not falling for the frustratingly handsome cowboy is proving to be the biggest challenge she's ever faced ... "--Back cover.
