Bethany Burke was intrigued by her new ranch hand a man she'd ordered from a catalog! Strong, quiet Colt McClure had a way with animals and a past he never spoke of. The mystery only deepened when a baby girl arrived on the ranch doorstep addressed to Colt!

Colt's lovely boss made him want to reveal his secret past especially because Bethany thought he was the baby's father! True, the cowboy had a few closely guarded secrets, but being somebody's daddy wasn't one of them. The wrangler was desperate to reveal the truth but baring his soul could mean losing his heart.

As Different As Oil And Water!

Allowing a movie crew to take over her gas station in Yewville was a bad idea, and it never would have happened if Carrie Smith's home hadn't desperately needed a new roof. Then, along with the stretch limos, came Luke Mason and his Ferrari picture–perfect combo no small–town girl could resist.

While the petite mechanic was pretending she thought everything about Hollywood and the sweet–talking charmer was phony, her prickly reserve was challenging Tinseltown's hottest property, and he wasn't going to give up.

After all, women everywhere would die for his megawatt smile. Surely he hadn't fallen for the only woman who could do without it. No way would Christmas arrive without Carolina Rose Smith knowing just what the determined Luke Mason was all about!

Fresh from re–enacting a Civil War battle, Kyle Sherman, dressed in his Union uniform, is lost in Yewville, South Carolina. Dixie Lee Smith knows such a man should be treated as the enemy––shunned, or at the very least ignored. But with no Southern gentlemen pounding down her door, Dixie finds herself wondering if maybe the state of their potential "union" should be addressed. And once she discovers there's competition for Kyle, this particular rebel belle stops worrying about which side won the war, determined to win the handsome Yankee for herself.

She's got a battle on her hands for sure. Because Kyle himself might not be so easy to subdue!

I'm going to have a baby

Maybe it was the hormones of early pregnancy doing a number on her, but one minute Maggie Macintyre was paddling her canoe downriver and the next a half–naked man seemed to fall from the sky, toppling her into the churning water!

Before she could panic, the daredevil with the hard bronze body and long raven hair wrapped his arms around her in a lifesaving embrace. The minute they touched, though, she responded to him as if her were her long–time lover, and the new life growing inside her stirred as if he recognized his daddy. But how could that be, when she'd never seen this stranger before in her life?

The Wedding Party

Anything can happen at a Bellamy wedding!

Daddy in the Dark

When the baby–sitter came down with mono, bridesmaid Bianca D'Alessandro had to bring a pint–size guest no one knew about to the Bellamy wedding. Now she'd have to avoid best man Neill Bellamy, which wouldn't be easy knowing his tenacity, his knack for math and the potency of his kisses. How would she hide her secret baby?

It had been a year since their one night of passion, and Neill could still taste Bianca's sweet skin, still yearned for more.... Though she was evasive about the baby, Neill had only to subtract nine months to know the truth: It still took two to make a baby three to be a family!

Only Rick McCullough knows the real reason he married Martine Barrineau instead of her twin, Trista.

Best friends since the age of nine, the three were inseparable. But it was Trista with whom he'd always shared something deeper than friendship and they have the enduring memory of one night to prove it.

Ten years and so much heartbreak later, Rick and Trist might have a second chance. But by this time, life's twists and turns have taken them down very different paths.

Sweetwater Cottage in South Carolina's Low Country was where they'd always felt a special connection, as pictures of so many vacations show.

Now, after all these years, they're at Sweetwater Cottage again

Sam Harbeck needed his best friend's widow to give him back what was his: the rights to the deposit he'd made to a sperm bank. He'd come to Alaska to get her signature on the release form. But he was too late—Kelly Anderson was already pregnant…with his child!

Sam expected a fight from the ever–willful Kelly, but he didn't anticipate his own overwhelming desire for her…or the emotions her impending motherhood evoked in him. Being snowbound together only intensified his demanding need for this woman. Could he have arrived just in time to be a father to their baby?

To his friends, Deke Washburn was the world's last bachelor–to single women, an impossible catch. But the playboy millionaire had just met his match….

Beautiful, independent Dorian Carr was the woman of his dreams, and a challenge Deke couldn't resist–her cool retreats sent him in hot pursuit, and her haughty snubs only made him want her more.

Soon the \world's last bachelor\" was thinking of himself in a new role…that of husband and father. The only problem was, Dorian was a confirmed bachelorette.
