Taming Jesse James

Ten years ago, Cassidy Harte had stood at the altar waiting for Zach Slater. And when he didn't show up--and was said to have disappeared with her brother's flirtatious wife--she did the only thing she could do. Held her head up high. Helped raise her motherless niece. And swore never to get involved with a man again.

And then back into her life walked Zach--with an "I'm sorry" on his lips, an explanation she refused to hear and the vow that he would make her his once again. And this was one vow he was determined to keep....

Certainly he had been bewitched by women before, but for rancher--and single father--Matt Harte, this was the last straw! Because of his daughter's shenanigans, he'd gotten roped into planning the annual Valentine's Day dance. And his partner in crime? Why, beautiful big-city vet--and recent Salt River transplant--Ellie Webster. Who he couldn't take his eyes off. And not for lack of trying...

Ellie knew that Matt Harte didn't want her in his town, let alone on the intimate dance committee of two. But this was for her daughter's sake. It wasn't like she wanted to spend all that one-on-one time with the rugged rancher, imagining what it would be like to be his partner--for real....

Man on a Mission

To find out who was claiming ownership of the only place he'd ever called home, Harry Maxwell knew he'd have to practice a little deception. So the wounded lieutenant changed his name a little. Altered a few facts. All for a good cause--get in, get the truth, get out.

Until he met the Brambleberry House heir presumptive. Anna Galvez was captivating in ways he hadn't even known existed. Still, after spending time with her, he wanted the house more than ever.

When a beautiful stranger saved the life of Jack Dugan's daughter, Jack knew he had to find this mystery woman. He would do anything to repay her. But Grace Solarez turned out to be more than he expected, for her sad brown eyes told him she needed to be saved, too.

After losing the one thing most dear to her, Grace felt she had no hope. Until the night she saved Jack's little girl. Soon Grace began to care again about something--about this sexy single dad and his daughter. But would it all disappear when she found out the truth about Jack Dugan?

For all their obvious differences, medical resident Kate Spencer and recently freed-though-wrongly-imprisoned Hunter Bradshaw had one big thing in common: both of them had holes in their past they were sure could never be fixed. So when Kate, née Charlotte McKinnon, announced her plan to take a road trip to try to find clues to her real identity, ex-cop Hunter offered to go along for the ride. For protection, of course...

But there's where their trip took an unexpected turn. For Kate, who'd loved Hunter from afar for years, found no answers, only more questions. And Hunter, with Kate by his side, saw that even though yesterday might be murky, today was dawning clear and bright....

As an on-the-run single mother out to protect her little girls, Lisa Connors needed two things: money, and to keep her identity secret. But it was just her luck that the possibility of the former would threaten the latter--for as the caretaker of the hunk-next-door with two broken legs, her ability to keep her distance was already shaky. When she found out said hunk's profession--FBI agent--it was downright demolished....

Gage McKinnon had spent most of his life trying to keep away from all things familial, so the last thing he needed was to have two adorable little girls take root next door. But it was their mother who posed his greatest threat. For in Lisa he felt that door in his heart--the one that had been slammed shut twenty-five years ago--start to open, just a crack.

His manner usually screamed cold professional. All business.

But his cool-headed judgment took a flying leap over his new assignment, because all FBI special agent Caleb Davis wanted was to fold Megan Vance into his arms and kiss away the worry brimming in her stunning green eyes. When her son went missing, he yearned to protect the single mother from danger and bring her child home. Once he did this, maybe he could figure out how to become a permanent part of her life....

As the clock ticked double-time, he fought like hell to save a little boy's life and reunite a family.
