When John Randall swerved to avoid a broken–down car on a deserted Wyoming back road, the cowboy never dreamed he'd find a beautiful woman inside. But like a knight without his stead, the rancher came to her rescue. She was, after all, alone... and about to give birth. Lucy Horton was on the run. After an attack on her unborn child, she'd had no choice but to seek refuge in the tiny town of Rawhide. But now her baby was making an unscheduled appearance and her handsome hero wouldn't leave her side. Lucy had no choice but to accept his help, his shelter, his strong shoulder. But when John offered more than that, how could she accept, when her heart wasn't hers to give?

From the moment she meets the new sheriff, Dr. Caroline Randall knows her homecoming is a mistake. Not only does he arrest and cuff her at their first meeting, Mike Davis matches her feisty attitude. After years, Caroline's finally dared to come home--jilted but successful. And she's brought her past with her, well hidden though it is. But nothing remains secret for long in Rawhide, Wyoming. In this town, three things are inevitable--death, taxes...and matchmaking Randalls. It doesn't matter how sexy the hazel-eyed lawman is, Caroline isn't in the market for a man! Now all she has to do is convince the world's most immovable force--her family!

She Was Home For The Holidays...

But jewelry designer Melissa Randall had no intention of staying in Rawhide, Wyoming. The sassy sophisticate had a life in Paris--one that didn't include a meddling, matchmaking family or the sexy, sloe-eyed deputy they had in mind for her.

Down-home deputy Harry Gowan would never leave Rawhide; she'd never stay. He'd keep his bachelor heart out of her reach, memorize her pouty smile and practice kissing her goodbye. Harry held out hope, though; after all, the matchmaking Randalls were legend in these parts. But had they met their match in Melissa?

Ever since he was a kid and his orphaned family split, sending him into foster care, Captain James Barlow knew he was a jinx to anyone he loved. He'd hidden out safely in the marines...until a detective found him and most of his siblings. The captain had seen battle, but no enemy made him uneasy like his newfound family--and the beautiful Carrie Rand.

Even before Jim walked into her Dallas P.I. office, Carrie had fallen for his photo. The square-jawed hunk she'd sought had starred nightly in her fantasies...until the real thing put the dream lover to shame. But how could Carrie transform the stoic ex-marine into a hot-blooded man?

The Last Barlow?

David Buford/Barlow has finally found his long-lost family, but the joy he feels at being reunited with his brother and sisters is complicated by his growing feelings for his "cousin" Alexandra. Will Alex ever be able to look at David as more than a protector and start thinking of him as a man--even a potential husband?

It turns out David doesn't have much to worry about--Alex already knows he's the one for her. The trouble is, they don't have the courage to tell each other their feelings. Luckily, David's new family is there to step in and give these would-be sweethearts some help!

But David and Alex aren't the only ones being gently pushed toward the altar!

Jason's convinced this city girl has only come to claim her share in the business and then head back to the Big Apple. But Jenny seems determined to win him over and get under his tough façade.

"I Found Our Daddy!"

Three-year-old Missy thought her new neighbor had all the right stuff. Nick Barry was handsome, fun and even she could see he liked her new mommy. So why couldn't he be their daddy?

Jennifer Carpenter had her hands full with adopting Missy and her two sisters. While the Texan next door doted on the girls, she knew Nick was in the fast lane to fame and fortune. Why would a sexy bachelor want a ready-made family? Besides, she wanted to become a mommy, not a Mrs. So what was it about Nick that proved irresistible--to the girls...and to her?

Ranch hunk Hank Brownlee wanted only two things from his new housekeeper–companionship for his grieving father and some stick–to–your–ribs country cooking. What he got was something altogether different.

The 'matron' he'd hired, sight unseen, turned out to be a blonde dynamo and a single mum. And it wasn't long before Maggie and her little tyke had Hank's world turned upside down and his heartstrings twisted all around their dainty fingers!
