And he moved into the ranch next door. From across the range, John Jarvis's denim–clad swagger was downright sexy. Up close he was more man, more cowboy than Paige Kenton could have dreamed.
But strange things – unexplainable things – started to happen the moment John came to town. Things he wouldn't discuss. Only the way he made Paige feel frightened her more. His caress seared her flesh with the intensity of a branding iron. Could she have imagined his touch was so heated, so electrified? Or could his mysterious power have been more than skin–deep?

It was a green–card wedding
Nicholas Sankovitch needed a wife. And while prim, proper Toria Tryon was a least likely candidate, his eight–year–old daughter, Anya, was already head over heels in love with her.
Single. Thirty. What did Toria have to lose by proposing? She'd be giving Anya a better life. Only Toria didn't count on Nick's old–world machismo, his yen for fast food or his love of seventies sitcoms. No one believed she'd married such a, well, primitive man least of all the deportation agents determined to expose the marriage as fake. Keeping up husband–wife appearances would have to be convincing. But genuine ?
