The hunk who appeared on Annie Hollister's doorstep was a looker. And from the look in his deep brown eyes, he'd come to Lucky, Oklahoma, for more that a tea-leaf reading. The tall attorney's aura was clouded, and Annie could see that he'd been suffering for some time. But all that was going to change, because a new-no, two new people were going to come into his life. And Annie wondered who the lucky pair was going to be.
Jake Chastaine knew how things were supposed to be, and that didn't include fertility clinic mix-ups or having fathered a child with a woman he'd never met. And looking at the vivid redhead who was the mother, Jake realized he's missed out on something spectacular. But the woman believed her grandfather talked to her through readside billboards! Still, he asked himself, was that any stranger than his sudden compulsion to woo her? Everyone knew how things were supposed to be-first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Maybe this time, things were going to happen a little differently.

Malcolm vowed to have his revenge on this alluring lady; Alpin planned to trick this cruel lord into forfeiting her land. Yet together they would learn that a man's long-fogotten needs and a woman's secret yearnings could ignite a love fierce enough to last for all time...

The lush Scottish hills stretched before Lady Miriam MacDonald, brilliant diplomat from Queen Anne's court. She had come seeking peace between the Scots and English-and won the admiration of two special men. The kindly, awkward laird of Kildalton Castle became a trusted friend. But the Border Lord, a dashing, tartan-clad legend disguised by black midnight, swept her into his arms...and claimed her innocence.
A lifetime of anguish lay behind this disguise of Duncan Kerr, laird of Kildalton by birth, Border Lord by choice. If the queen's emissary, flaime-haired Lady Miriam, unmasked him, he would lose the prize he held most dear. He had meant to seduce and compromise her..not cherish and desire her.
By day, Miriam strove to establish harmony in the realm; by night she surrendered to forbidden pleasure with the mysterious Border Lord. Only he knew the truth, as elusive as the mists of the hills: whether he loved her passionate soul, or the promise of peace she brought to his beloved land...

Like every noble in the London peerage, Morgan Drummond, Marquis of Westham, expects his butler to be awaiting his return home-even when that return follows a five-year absence. But he didn't expect the horde of strangers who've taken up residence in his house, courtesy of that enterprising butler and a discreet classified ad. Morgan's plan to toss his unwelcome tenants into the street is thwarted by a beautiful but indomitable debutante, Miss Emma Clifford-who's not averse to a bit of blackmail for a good cause.

For even as Kit revels in midnight gallops and cottage rendezvous, Captain Jack is laying a gentle trap that will curtail her freedom...and bind her to him with a ring, a promise...and ties of devotion and desire.

When fleeing an odious arranged match, the Lady Elizabeth Hayward found herself under the protection of famed court jester Richard Tarleton. But even disguised as the fool's boy apprentice, there was no hiding the fact that she'd fallen hopelessly in love!
Though Tarleton's ready wit had won him royal favor, his tongue was tied in the presence of the sweet-voiced Elizabeth-at least about things that truly mattered. For how could he offer the queen's own goddaughter a gift so lowly as his own foolish heart?

Alyssa Chandler was a woman of two worlds. During the week she was a probabilities expert, cool and down to earth as she sorted through facts and figures. On the weekends she entered the fantasy world of Las Vegas and put her knowledge of numbers to work, staking her money-and winning-on her ability to predict the turn of the cards.
Jordan Kyle, himself no stranger to a gambler's tricks, was what she wanted him to be: part of that fantasy. But unlike the cards, whose progression she could count on, Jordan seemed able to turn up anywhere-and usually did!

When a mysterious drifter appeared at Honey Farrell's ranch, willing to work for room and board, the wary widow had to hire him. Tall, dark and grouchy, Jesse Whitelaw could scare away the lurking cattle rustlers with one growl. And Honey's sons could sure use a man around. Still, there was something mighty suspicious about the cowboy...
Jesse hated lying about who he really was, yet he had to keep his cover-and the Farrells-safe. But who knew that somewhere between fixing fences and secret meetings, he'd teach a teenage boy how to be a man...or that with one wet kiss he'd remind a brokenhearted woman what it meant to love again? Or that, when the truth came out, he'd lose everything?

Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, a high-powered investment analyst, mother of eleven-year-old Quincy-and she does it all. In fact, if she doesn't do it, it doesn't get done, from Little League carpool duty to analyzing portfolios to folding the laundry and bringing home the bacon. She does it all well, too, if her chic house, personal trainer, BMW, and her loving son are any indication. So what if there's been no one to share her bed with lately, let alone rock her world? Stella doesn't mind too much; she probably wouldn't have the energy for love-and all of love's nasty fallout-anyway.
But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica, her world gets rocked to the core-not just by the relaxing effects of sun and sea and an island full of attactive men, but by one man in particular. Winston is tall, lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the ocean-and is half her age. The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a turning point: not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way she has lived it.
