Looking for something sweet?

Dax Girard's unconventional hiring policy was 'sex is absolutely off the table'. All Zoe Bravo wanted was a job, and her prospective boss was so gorgeous that he'd clearly had to beat them off with a stick before. So she agreed to the mogul's terms.

A strictly hands–off policy was fine with her...but was it fine with him? Because the more no–strings–attached Dax swore he was, the more he started envisioning a future that had Zoe in it. And, in nine months, a little someone else as well

Adopted Parents by Candy Halliday

Ten years ago, Hallie Weston would never have believed she would be living with Nathan Brock –– and a baby. She was a starry–eyed intern then, with a major crush on seasoned journalist Nate.

Nate and Hallie are thrown together when their siblings die leaving an infant to care for. It's obvious to Hallie that she and Nate are not parent material, but Nate's got a crazy idea that they can be a family.

All Mike Ryan can tell her is his name. Revealing any more to this beautiful stranger would put her in danger. And he's not willing to jeopardize Stevi Roman's–or her family's–safety any more than he already has. Why this angel has taken him in, nursed him and trusted him, he can't fathom. But it has been the best few weeks he's ever known. For the first time, Mike can imagine having a real life, a real identity, a real future. Stevi has done more than save him. She's inspired him.

And that's why he has to go! The safest thing he could do for all of them was to disappear….

Rust Creek Ramblings

HOW LUCKY CAN YOU GET?

You heard it here first:  Good ol' boy Brad Crawford left that raucous Fourth of July card game with legal possession of Boyd Sullivan's Leap of Faith Ranch. Never mind that Brad took advantage of an old man under the influence. The handsome and cocky Crawford has always had a 'me first' philosophy.

Now we've learned that Boyd's long-absent daughter Margot Sullivan has returned to Rust Creek Falls and is living with Brad at the Leap of Faith! It seems unthinkable that the strong-willed, sassy rodeo rider would allow Brad to take advantage of her. So just what is going on behind those weathered fences?  Place your bets, savvy readers. Could the right woman finally have reformed Brad the cad?

In the family way...times two?

Sophie Marlowe has always been the responsible one. She gave up her teenage love, Dillon Burke, to raise her little sister Joy on her own.  But just as Sophie is about to sigh in relief at a job well done, she learns Dillon's back in town — with the teenage nephew he's raising on his own. If Aidan is half the young man Dillon was — Sophie is determined to keep the two young people apart.

Too late! Joy and Aidan are in love...and Joy is pregnant! Now, Sophie has to talk to Dillon. But she'd better be careful. Because she can't resist him any more than Joy was able to resist Aidan and pregnancy apparently runs in the Marlowe family...

Once again, she's running…But this time, she's running toward something!
