J. B. Hammock played by his own rules, and rule number one was never settle down. He treated his women well, but with a no-strings detachment they all accepted. But sweet Tellie Maddox hovered about like a gossamer butterfly, always trying to take care of him, always caring about him. It was enough to make a confirmed bachelor take drastic measures. Then Tellie lost part of her memory. She believed she was J.B.'s faithful sidekick. Even he couldn't be so heartless as to push Tellie aside, and so he played the role of friend until friendship turned to something else, something so much deeper than a heartbreaker like J.B. ever intended. He was hooked. Then Tellie's memory returned.

Crash-landing on a remote South Pacific island put fashion executive Skye Delaney at a distinct disadvantage. And when she learned that her arrogant pilot was none other than Kyle Jagger, the mysteriously reclusive international entrepreneur, she knew that survival was the least of her problems. Remote and domineering one minute, tender and passionate the next, he was everything she despised --and wanted--in a man. But what of his wife in California? And why was it that whenever she tried to envision her own fiance, all she could see was Kyle's laughing sea-green eyes? Sensible, independent, had she found the man of her dreams on an idyllic paradise isle? Would rescue and return to reality mean losing him forever?

Sarah Anderson refuses to become a drudge for her stepfather and his unruly children after her mother dies in 1882. Neither will she become a pawn for his indebtedness to a riverboat gambler. Sarah escapes from her Missouri home and heads for California to find her brother Seth, trusting God to keep her safe on the perilous journey west. Matt Sterling rescued Seth from danger and taught him to become a top hand on the Sterling ranch near Madera. Betrayed by one selfish girl, Matt has vowed the San Joaquin River will run dry before he ever gets involved with another woman. He’s better off fighting cattle rustlers, floods and drought to make his spread one of the finest in the valley. Is love's long lasso strong enough to overcome obstacles and rope in the runaway girl and the once-bitten, twice-shy rancher?

NO MAN COULD TAME HER REBELLIOUS SOUL... She was as wild as the rugged Wyoming Territory of her birth, all woman, primal and exciting, a platinum-haired enchantress who dressed and rode like a man. No one had ever threatened Jessica Randall's independence -- until the stranger called Segundo led her into the uncharged world of the senses, compelling her to trust, to yield, to love with a passion she never knew she possessed. NO WOMAN COULD RESIST HIS SENSUAL CHALLENGE... He stared at her with turquoise eyes glittering with blatant sexual hunger. Here was the girl Duncan Frazer had dreamed of in his years of exile, grown to glorious womanhood, a woman he vowed to possess. He couldn't afford to reveal his true identity any more than he could resist the challenge to a game of hearts. A game he was determined to win....
