Will Brockett Certainly Had His Hands Full

His ex–fiance had up and married while he'd been out on a cattle drive. Then she'd run away from her new husband, and as the town's part–time sheriff, it was up to Will to rescue her, and keep the residents of Possum Trot happy knowing that he was watching out for them.

Now, to top it all off, his best friend, Paulie Johnson, had discarded her riding togs for a fancy dress and suddenly started looking like prime wife material. Poor Will was beginning to wonder just what was going to happen next!

A Desperate Daddy

One look at baby Felicity's chubby cheeks and Ross Templeton almost forgot that he only needed to "rent" a baby for the weekend. Just long enough to concede his father's last wish for a grandchild.

A Make–Believe Mommy

No way was Alison Bennett going to let the foundling and her modelling client go off with this suave stranger, no matter how gorgeous he was. But exactly how did she get roped into going along as his part–time lover and the baby's full–time "mom"?

An Instant Family

But how long could Alison deny her very feminine, very real desire for Ross...especially when they returned home to find his dad alive and well...and planning for their wedding?

Desperate

Trussed up in tweet and a suitably righteous manner, Jake Reed hoped he'd pass as a schoolmaster long enough to elude the gunman on his trail. But with Cecilia Summertree, the prettiest–and the nosiest–schoolmarm in the West dodging his every move, he was having a hard time keeping his mind on the classroom….

Cecilia knew exactly what she'd always wanted. The freedom to do what she pleased, when she pleased. Though in all her reckoning she'd never considered meeting someone like Jake Reed. A man determined to teach her that there were a few important things missing in her life, and one of them was him!

RISING STAR

Gorgeous young widow seeks man. Good looks a plus!

After four dateless years, why were men suddenly sending Ellen Lantry seductive messages and red roses? Including dreamy–eyed Simon Miller, who offered her a birthday evening of dance, champagne and chocolate mousse. Instead, Ellen celebrated with her cat, a TV dinner and Casablanca on the VCR. But was that her dead husband sitting in Rick's Cafe ?

Before her eyes Abel appeared in the flesh on a mission to find her a man, thanks to his long–distance personal ad and he'd narrowed her choices to five! But how was she supposed to start a romance with her dead husband looking over her shoulder?

The long arm of the law couldn't stretch far enough to catch Sam Winter. But a pair of shapely legs attached to a Texas heiress had stopped him in his tracks. And the last thing he needed was sassy Millie Lively with outrageous notions about "helping" him escape! But the participants in this escapade soon realized they had been captured.

LOVE ON THE RUN!

Ty Saunders Was Nothing But A Big, Brawny Reprobate And, Oh, Lordy, How She Wanted Him!

But that was impossible, Louise Livingston protested. She had her standards, after all while he had a smile stolen from the devil himself. Still, she'd be darned if she'd give in to temptation!

There were few women in town like Louise Livingston. Heck, in this played–out mining town, there were practically no women, Ty admitted. But that didn't take away from the fact that Louise was a combustible mix of spitfire and saint. And he was just the man to start the fireworks!

It was to be a practical marriage

Blessed by the bride's father and the IRS. Except for one problem: Allan Steele never made it to the wedding. He had a run–in with a cow!

For Jane Fielding, being left at the altar by the love of her life was nothing compared to finding out her workaholic fiancé had gotten amnesia in the accident after apparently changing his mind about marrying her. To boot, she had to play nursemaid to the forgetful groom the new Allan who couldn't keep his hands off her. But Jane had strict orders not to excite the patient so how could she get the old Allan back to tell him he was going to be the father of her baby?
