Best-selling author Heather Slade brings five rugged alpha protectors in a boxed set of non-stop suspense and swoon-worthy romance.BrodieCan fulfilling a promise bring love into his life again?Struggling with a tragedy in his family, winery manager, Brodie Butler, needs to put his grief on hold to carry out the promise of delivering the tragic news of his brother’s death and a special box to the … brother’s death and a special box to the enigmatic Peyton Wolf. But instead of closing a chapter in his late brother’s life, Brodie opens a new one in his own after he meets a woman he could envision himself being with forever.
Torn between familial loyalty and his desire for Peyton, Brodie’s guilty conscience threatens to destroy any chance he may have with her. Will they find a future together when Peyton’s heart belonged to a hero Brodie could never measure up to?
Maddox
The Hatfields and McCoys have nothing on the Butler and Avila families.
The feud between them had been going on for years when Maddox Butler came to the rescue and saved the Avila’s Los Caballeros winery from certain ruin. Now it’s Maddox and his brothers that are threatening the winery’s future—at least that what Alex’s family believes.
Neither the feud, nor the fence between the vineyards has ever been enough to keep the two determined young lovers apart. Will their love heal the wounds of the past to reunite the families a second time? Or will it drive the wedge deeper and make them choose family over love?
Naughton
He’s a loner by choice.
She’s a winemaker in a man’s world.
When Naughton Butler and his brother inherit four hundred acres of prime vineyard property, it’s up to them to decide how to manage it and their family’s winery. To do so, they hire the new kick-ass winemaker, Bradley St. John.
Landing a job at the Butler Ranch is Bradley’s dream come true. But when Naughton thinks she’s a joke, she sets out to prove that a woman is the best person for a man’s job. As she shows off her talents, Naughton realizes Bradley’s more woman than he ever imagined.
Mercer
He promised to protect her…
Not to love her.
Mercer Bryant promised his deceased partner that he’d protect Quinn Sullivan at any cost. As a former CIA operative, Mercer knows his way around intense and stealthy operations. Trained in combat, he can get out of any situation—and into any woman’s bed. But when he starts to feel something more for the stunning Quinn, he can’t stay away.
Shipped off to boarding school at a young age, the feisty Quinn doesn’t need a man to watch over her. But when she finds herself in danger, the only place she feels safe is the arms of the irresistible and rugged Marine.
Hell bent on protecting her, Mercer takes on the vengeful Russians who are responsible for his partner’s disappearance. With peril imminent and time running out, can Mercer save Quinn before the truth destroys their chance at a future together?
Kade
An Altered Mission. A Personal Vendetta. A Joint Endeavor.
Her mission was clear: go undercover to infiltrate a Russian organization. But when the MI6 agent discovers that two former CIA operatives are being held captive, rescuing them becomes paramount for her.
Grateful for the rescue, he has one goal: kill the enemy who threatens his family. Obtaining the confidential files people are dying for is secondary.
With both the CIA and MI6 after the hidden documents, the two must team up to uncover the truth. While working together, desire ignites and danger intensifies.

These are just as good, if not better, the more I read them. Each with their own mains and an HEA, there is the backstory that is so twistedly brilliant, or brilliantly twisted, you will lose yourself for hours. The location is one of California’s beautiful winery areas.
Brodie and Peyton find love through tragedy.
Maddox and Alex find love between the lines of two feuding families
Naughton and Bradley find love despite their love of winemaking
Mercer and Quinn find love even when the lines are blurred
The last book of this set will leave you reeling! Revelations come in all ways from all directions
This is the series that hooked me as a Heather Slade lifer!
Butler Ranch Box Set 2 is a very entertaining read! I recommend you read THIS series BEFORE reading the K19 Security Solutions and Military Intelligence Section 6 box sets (which I didn’t know to do) as this series is really the beginning of them all. I LOVE how all three series is ONE continuous story with different lead characters, Whereas I wouldn’t consider these books as romantic suspense, they’re totally enjoyable. Heather Slade did a great job with all three series…you definitely won’t be disappointed…especially if you read them in order!
If I could give these books a 10 I would! These stories are exciting, fresh, nail biting, and full of twists and turns the reader won’t see coming. I love how the books are all connected with the Butler family and the story of each sibling getting their happy ever after. However, that road was a bit bumpy and it was not so easy getting there. I loved being able to read each book, one right after the other, as I’m not a fan of cliffhangers. These stories will have your emotions all over the place with tears, laughter, heartbreak, love, and passion. There are sexy alpha men, plenty of steam and a lot of mystery. The plot for each book is very well written, draws the reader in and doesn’t let go.
Buttler Ranch Boxed Set Voume 2 is a superb collection of romantic suspense books by Heather Slade. Ms. Slade has given readers a collection of stories about the Butler family and neighbors. This series has amazing characters, loads of drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed this collection and look forward to reading more from Heather Slade. These are complete book, not cliff-hangers.
This boxed set was updated to six books.
This is such a great series. I recommend it highly. It’s very well written, too. I love the way the characters are incorporated in all the books. This series is like an ongoing story, with one of the brothers highlighted as the main characters in each book. I had to binge read this series because it was that good. One book leads to another, picking up where the other left off. This series is a page turner for sure.
1. Brodie. This is the story of Brodie & Peyton. Brodie Butler is a wine salesman for the Butler Ranch. Peyton works for her dad’s winery in what is called Stave, a wine tasting room in Cambria, CA, which is a little village. It also holds other events. Brodie’s mother sends Brodie to find Peyton to give her a box of things from Kade, his brother, who died on a mission in Afghanistan. Kade and Peyton were seeing each other at the time of his death. Brodie runs into her by chance in the village where she lives. It was instantaneous, the feelings. Peyton fights it every step of the way, just because Brodie is Kade’s brother. Brodie is an open book, while Peyton is just the opposite. Bizarre things happen to both of them during this story. It is intense in so many ways. There is definitely a happy ending, but you have to read it to find out how they got there.
2. Maddox. This is the story of Maddox & Alex. Maddox Butler is a wine maker for the Butler Ranch. Alex works at the wine tasting room with Peyton in Cambria, CA. Maddox and Alex have been on and off since high school. They’re fathers were rivals because they owned wineries next to each other. So, they were off limits to each other then. When he turned eighteen, she was underage. When she turned eighteen all bets were off. She was now of age. They saw each other discreetly. Their personalities always clashed. There are many mysteries revealed in this story about Maddox’s brother, Kade, who died in Afghanistan. It has a bit of an eerie feeling reading about it. It takes Maddox and Alex a long time to reveal their feelings to each other. They always felt the other one didn’t feel the same as the other one did. But that definitely worked out.
3. Naughton. This is the story of Naughton & Bradley. Naughton Butler works in the vineyards at Butler Ranch. Bradley was hired by Maddox, Naughton’s brother. She was an upcoming winemaker. Naughton and Bradley’s first meeting didn’t go well. He thought, because of her name, she was here with her boyfriend. That created an issue. In the end, he apologized, and she stayed at the job. The attraction between them was undeniable. Naughton was usually a closed off person, keeping his feelings to himself. Bradley was seeing someone else at the time they met. She found out something about him that he was doing, and she stopped seeing him. Pieces of the ongoing mystery keep revealing themselves little by little. The anticipation in this story is high. There is a happy ending for Naughton and Bradley, but what mystery will be revealed next? On to the next book.
4. Ainsley. This is the story of Ainsley Butler & Cristobal Avila, Alex’s brother. Ainsley is still in college. Cristobal is a physician at Stanford Medical Center, soon to be chielf medical officer in Geneco, a research based corporation for genetic aging. She was young when Cristobal was eighteen and went off to college. When she was eighteen she had to go to Stanford, also. He was still in Standford. He was going to be a doctor. He really didn’t acknowledge her until she was 21. Then her pursued her. They were together for six years, and he was tired of keeping it a secret. They finally went to both their families and told them they were together. Their families were well okay with it. They are together now, and so in love. Another piece of the puzzle, or the mystery is revealed on Christmas. And the mystery that surrounds Kade, still continues on. Can’t wait to continue this in the next book.
5. Mercer. This is the story of Quinn & Mercer. Quinn is Kade Butler’s daughter. Mercer’s job is protecting Quinn. He works for K19 Security Solutions. Mercer moved into her apartment building on her floor. She sees him at the same party she’s at, and he ends up driving her home. He also ends up kissing her. The attraction is instantaneous. This book finally reveals a lot of the mysteries that go on in the other books, finally. This book is full of action. The love between Mercer and Quinn soars. There is quite a surprise at the end of this book. Can’t wait to read the last one.
6. Kade. This is the story of Kade & Merrigan. Kade is part owner of K19 Security Solutions. He is finally back after a year and a half of everyone thinking he was dead. He was held captive by the Maskhadov faction with another character, Quinn’s Grandfather, Leech. This was in Russia. They made a deal with the organization, United Russia, who wanted Calder, who captured them, dead. It had taken almost two years, but they were free. Merrigan is an MI6 agent in the UK, and helped to free Kade and Leech. She was assigned in the US to help finish the mission they are started. There are ups and downs to the mission, and to their relationship. All the mysteries are finally revealed. It was so enjoyable to see Kade finally get the happily ever after he so deserved.
