At thirty-one, widow Galen Granata was a veteran of such an unhappy marriage that she had never dared to long for what every woman dreamed of. Like a man to love... and children. So she' d built a wall around herself that no one had even tried to penetrate.

THE LAST MAN SHE WANTED...

RIGHT BRIDE... Merry McBride had always dreamed of her wedding day–but being left at the altar was more like a nightmare! And though she tried to hold her head up, she never would have gotten through it if not for Nick Kincaid. Sheriff. Best man. And the best friend a girl could ever have...

Lucky Masado was already heir to one throne–but he'd had another thrust upon him. And he was in between those two worlds when into his life walked Elena Tandi. The spirited beauty was full of questions, and she was not going to like his answers.

WHO DO YOU TRUST? No one would meet Mark Delaney's eyes. After a devastating brush with death, he had changed dramatically—and done so with one purpose in mind. He had a killer to catch and could no longer trust his own family. But one woman dared to look beyond his facade. April Cartwright, newly hired by the Delaneys, sought to know the real Mark. But the loner knew he had to resist. A murderer was in their midst, and if Mark succumbed to the sweet promises April offered, his mission would put them both in deadly peril. And he would not risk her innocent life—even at the cost of his own!
