KATE CASSIDY HAS A SECRET

the whole town knows. She's engaged with no wedding date in sight. Maybe that's why she doesn't mind sexy pastor Ben Taylor flirting with her when she comes to offer her services as a Big Sister to troubled teens.

Ben does not try to pick Kate up even if the pretty Realtor doesn't act like any engaged woman he's ever known. Why, they're practically dating! And when Kate calls off her planned nuptials, there's no reason to fight that special feeling.

Now their secret's out, as a marriage–minded man of the cloth sets out to convince a wedding–wary woman to take the plunge with the right man.

Tate Darnley approached his nuptials like a business transaction – romance wasn't a factor.

But the minute he met unassuming chef and single mum Amy, he knew there was more to marriage than sealing the deal. Now, as the clock ticks down to his perfect wedding, he has to ask himself – which woman will he marry?!

SISTERS, SISTERS For years, Kathie Cassidy suffered in silence, determined that no one would ever find out she'd fallen in love with her beloved sister's fiance! And then the unthinkable happened. Her sister's long–time engagement was over and she, unbelievably, was marrying someone else. Joe was a free man. But what kind of girl would go after her sister's ex–fiance?

Joe Reed was a man with a plan. For years, he was engaged to one woman. Now he'd been dumped, but he couldn't even bring himself to care. Because inexplicably, he was falling for Kathie his ex–fiancee ?s sister. Which was not in the plan. But then he kissed her .

And his safe, predictable existence shattered on a dime.

Wedding–dress designer Chloe Allen had it all her first celebrity client, a debut New York fashion show, even a happy engagement her third, but who was counting? Then a catwalk catfight revealed her fiance t let her or his secret investment in her business suffer. They would play up a reunion romance for the cameras and get Chloe back on track. He had it all sewn up but would their tabloid tableau vivant turn into the real deal?

"I now pronounce thee man and…ex–wife?"

Family court judge Ashe Thomas had heard it all. But New Age teacher Lilah Ryan's loopy request for him to perform a "divorce ceremony" for women to heal from their bad break–ups took the cake. In fact, divorce was the furthest thing from Ashe's mind whenever Lilah walked into a room. She was just too sexy, too smart…too much for the bachelor to handle! Add to the mix a trio of meddlesome octogenarian matchmakers trying their best to bring Ashe and Lilah together…and, well, the honourable judge had his hands full to say the least. Could the buttoned–up legal eagle let loose enough for this free spirit…or was this one for the star–crossed lovers record book?

Small–town elementary schoolteacher Kim Cassidy gorgeous and sweet had fallen for a crook while on a cruise, without a clue who he really was. Now she was home, waiting for her prince, and secret agent Nick Callahan's task was to track her every move.

Watching a gorgeous blonde all day? No problem. But in small–town Georgia, hiding was impossible, and he and Kim became friends. Keeping the truth from this kind, pretty woman was getting harder. Then a kiss a passionate one complicated things even more.

He would still protect her. The question was, from whom?

Gorgeous men were like fudge

Delicious, sensual and mostly bad for you.

At least that's what single mother Lily Tanner thought. Especially when Nick Malone moved in next door. Nick was a feast for her eyes, all rippling muscles and perfect proportions. After her disastrous marriage, Lily wanted nothing to do with men ever again. Yet when Nick needed help keeping the salivating neighbourhood housewives at bay, he turned to her. His idea was simple: pretend they were a couple to ward off the others. But his methods close contact and lots of touching were wreaking havoc on Lily's convictions. Because, as with fudge, after just one taste of Nick Malone, she wanted more!

His mother's death left cop Jax Cassidy to settle her estate, watch over three younger sisters...and contend with one very spoiled dog. It all seemed to be working, too, until the aptly named Romeo began sniffing around Jax's love life. The dog had to go.

Jax found the perfect new owner--florist Gwen Moss, who was fighting to get over some soul-deep heartache of her own. Touched unexpectedly by Gwen's courage, faith and love, Jax embarked on a road to self-discovery where he might finally learn what's truly important in life.

Sit. Stay. Roll over. Good Boy.

Well, these commands worked for the puppy. Unfortunately, Audrey Graham's new boss was not so easily tamed. After a difficult year, she needed to get back on track, and accepting a job as "dog nanny" for millionaire businessman Simon Collier was the first step. But Simon, like the incorrigible puppy he'd bought for his young daughter, had a mind of his own. He was gorgeous, sexy and got what he wanted and he wanted Audrey.

Simon couldn't stand to see Audrey hurt. He would help her, and then he would have her. And he would show her that not all men were dogs.
