Sheltered Meredith is determined to build a new life for herself. But she's compelled by Liam's warm soul, still recovering from a love he tragically lost decades earlier. It's just a matter of time before they give in to the spark between them…a spark that unexpectedly makes them parents–to–be. Even though stand–up Liam wants to do the right thing, Meredith won't settle for a duty–bound man. How can she convince Liam that his real–life Goldilocks is just right…forever?

Melanie Prentiss doesn't believe in happy endings.

So when her latest assignment pairs her with tall, dark, off–the–charts–gorgeous bachelor Jace Foster, she figures it's Cupid's idea of a joke. Collaborate on an article about love with Portland's resident playboy? A man she finds more irresistible than anyone has a right to be?

Jace is a changed man. But thanks to his popular Bachelor column, the world still thinks he's happily single. Truth is, he's been bitten by the love bug. He only has eyes for Melanie. And with Valentine's Day around the corner, now's the time to put his newfound settling–down skills to the test and prove to Melanie that they're made for each other!

RULES WERE meant to be broken…

Steering clear of military men was Rebecca's mantra. Until the night she and Air Force captain Seth took their penpal relationship to the next level. But the mother-to-be never expected the sexy soldier to show up on her Portland doorstep months later with an engagement ring!

Convincing Rebecca to marry him had been his mission ever since Seth found out she was having his baby. And It wasn't easy, getting Rebecca to realise they belonged together. Well, Seth could be just as stubborn – maybe even more so. Which meant using every weapon at his command to get Rebecca to trust her future to a man who prized family above all else…

Cole Foster had only one wish this Christmas...

And that was for Rachel Merriday to realize, finally, that she was in love with him! The only problem was, he and Rachel were friends...just friends. Sure, they kissed that once and what a kiss! but Cole was waiting for the right time to tell her how he really felt.

But has time run out? Rachel was coming home to Colorado for Christmas with a new man! And from what Cole's been hearing, this guy might just be 'the one.' How could that be, when it's been so obvious from the moment Rachel first leveled him with a snowball as kids, that it's Cole she should be kissing under the mistletoe!

Maybe now is the right time to finally let Rachel know that all he wants for Christmas...is her.

Of all the protectors in the world…

Dylan knows that he's a sucker for damsels in distress — it's a Foster gene, for crying out loud! — and that he's promised himself not to get burned again, but to let a mother and child sleep in a car? Not on his watch. Just a little bit of help to get her back on her feet is all. Then the beautiful woman and adorable son can — no, will — go on their way…

Her instincts scream yes. His actions are genuine, eyes sincere, and he's surrounded by loving family — why not trust him? There's also another big reason: Chelsea Bell and her son have no other option here in Steamboat Springs but to lean on Dylan, albeit temporarily. Swallowing her pride and reaching for Henry's little hand, they walk from the frigid cold car to Dylan's waiting arms and into a world of possibility…

Doesn't this beautiful, independent woman who has never relied on anyone but herself know that no matter what happens, he'll always be there to catch her? All Andi has to do is trust in their growing feelings and take that leap of faith with him. Then the sky's the limit!

A lesson in love Gavin Daugherty has made every attempt to ignore Haley Foster. He just wants to open his business and be left alone. But the feisty home-town sweetheart is simply not having it. Isn't it enough that she's already forced her way into his work; must she force her way into his heart too? Plus, he could do without Haley's three over-protective brothers breathing down his neck! Of course, Haley is not deterred by Gavin's gruff manner, because she learned long ago that you have to follow your heart. And that's a lesson she's about to teach Gavin, too!

Grady and Olivia Foster shared everything passion, friendship and a soul–deep connection that made their marriage blissful.

Now he's determined to give her what she really needs all the desire, devotion and tireless love it takes to heal their loss and rekindle the spark that once made them the perfect couple…whether Olivia likes it or not! To save their love, he'll pull out all the stops and pray for a Christmas miracle. THE FOSTER BROTHERS
They'd do anything for each other or the women they loved!
