TEXAS LEGACIES:THE MCCABES centers around the offspring of Greta and Shane McCabe, from A COWBOY’S WOMAN. THE once-wild couple have a thriving marriage and an enduring love, and now they want their four grown-children to enjoy the same.

THE TRIPLETS' FIRST THANKSGIVING

The baby buggy containing the pink-clad triplets arrives at the ranch with a note… asking Kurt McCabe to step up to the plate. Being a son of that honorable, family-first clan, he'd never turn his back on a person—three miniature persons—in need. But he can't do it alone. That's where Paige Chamberlain comes in.

The pediatric surgeon is ready to start her own family, with or without a husband. But foster parenting the adorable infant girls, even temporarily, is an offer no woman who longs for a child can resist. Even if it means sharing baby detail with the devilishly handsome vet…Paige's old childhood rival.

They may or may not be his, but Kurt's getting used to having the tiny tykes—and Paige—around the ranch. And he just thought of the perfect solution!

A COWBOY UNDER THE MISTLETOE

As of Christmas Eve, Hank McCabe will lose his chance to bid on the Mesquite Ridge ranch. But ever since Ally Garrett delivered her ultimatum, Hank's more set than ever on snapping up her land. He's ready to build his future, and is crazy enough to think generosity would overtake the holiday-hating Ally this season. Apparently not!

Ally came home to say goodbye to her family ranch and sever her ties to Laramie County once and for all. Not find herself smooching with the hunkiest cowboy in Texas. And not having a litter of adorable golden retriever pups take over the house she's trying to sell!

It seems that with a McCabe around, things always get complicated. So it's time to make a choice—sell to the highest bidder, or give in to the spirit of the holiday. After all, what could be better than a cowboy under the mistletoe?

ONE WILD COWBOY

Nobody says no to Emily McCabe! All she wants is for Dylan Reeves to act like they're dating, so her wildly overprotective clan will butt out of her life once and for all. And he just flat-out refused! So why'd the maddeningly sexy horse whisperer just kiss her in front of the whole town?

Gentling horses is one thing. Bringing a strong, independent woman like Emily to heel is something else! The two of them are totally wrong for each other, but that doesn't stop Dylan from wanting her. But Emily's made for a home and family and Dylan is like his beloved mustangs—wild and free.

Except, she seems to know her way around horses…and that's not all. Suddenly Dylan's dreaming about making a life with Laramie County's most stubborn and desirable—and willful—woman!

HER COWBOY DADDY

This Cowboy’s Off-Limits… When Jeb McCabe gave Laramie, Texas, the scandal of the century by leaving his bride at the altar, he garnered the reputation of the most notorious bachelor in town. So what's the handsome heartbreaker doing playing nanny to Cady Keilor's young nephews?

Cady desperately wants a baby of her own. But before she adopts, she's practicing for motherhood by babysitting her sister's rambunctious brood for two weeks. The cowboy she's always been sweet on is just along for the ride—after Cady bets him he can't last a week!

It turns out Jeb's a natural at parenting, and Cady badly needs his help. The question is: Does playing house make Jeb yearn for the real thing? He is a McCabe, after all—and the name is synonymous with family!

A COWBOY TO MARRY

Libby Lowell's mind is made up. The only way for the widow to go forward with her life is to leave Laramie, Texas, behind. She should have known rugged rancher Holden McCabe would try to stop her! Her husband's best friend is Libby's fiercest protector. It's not that she doesn't want or need Holden's broad shoulder to cry on. But it's time to put away the past.

Holden isn't letting Libby get away so easily. He hasn't forgotten how she turned to him in her hour of need—and the painful secret she shared. But his idea to push them both into moving on backfires when passion leads to pregnancy…something Libby's wanted for so long.

Is this their biggest mistake…or the second chance they've both been searching for?
