THE CHILD SHE'D DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT

Becoming a mother to her precious orphaned nephew had turned timid, mousy Susan Gulley into a fiercely maternal tigress. She'd do anything to keep little Joey a secret from Jonah Rhodes, the handsome but hard–edged uncle who might claim him as his own.

So she fled unforgettable Jonah and became "Molly Jones." Little did she know that, six years later, Jonah would meet and want to marry "Molly," arousing longings that rivalled even motherhood. Together they'd make perfect parents for Joey. But what would happen when her beloved learned that she'd been living and he'd been loving a lie?

THE MARRIAGE–MINDED MAN

Everyone told Mac McDaniel that he should remarry. But the only woman he wanted, he'd foolishly let go years ago. Now Mac vowed to move heaven and earth to win back sweet Ginger Honeycutt. But first he needed to get back into her life .

AND HIS INTENDED BRIDE

After a six–year absence, Ginger's sexy ex–husband was now her new neighbour and colleague! Once–shy Ginger told him it was over, but this determined man wasn't listening. Nor was her traitorous heart. Especially when Mac said the words she'd always longed to hear. And even though Ginger knew deep down she'd never stopped loving Mac, the only way she'd take him again was for keeps!

MRS. RIGHT

Everyone told Jeremy Wells he should marry again. And the responsible single father knew his children needed a mother. But the grieving widower was convinced he had nothing to offer a prospective bride. Why would someone as beautiful and sophisticated as Terri Sommers be interested in a small–town man who had lost his heart? Terri truly believed they could make each other whole. Could this good woman's love bring his wounded soul back to life?

A CYNICAL MAN MEETS

Clint Adams was a man with no illusions. The burly ex–marine had had his fill of dashed dreams; now, all he hoped to find was some peace. He came upon the rustic Ozarks cabin purely by chance. And there, he met up with a miracle.

A VIRGIN BRIDE

Pat Tyler was nearing thirty, and everyone in Yellville was urging her to wed. Even Pat couldn't explain anymore what she was waiting for. But then, like a miracle, Clint came along and awakened her, heart and soul. She would give up anything and everything to make the brooding man her own.
