The Pick-Up Man

$5.99

WEDDING DRESS
FOR SALE
Size 7, never worn. It's a masterpiece. He wasn't. Call Annie at 555–7255.

After breaking her fourth engagement, Annie Jamison had a mountain of debts, a heal of white lace and a shoe box full of mementos. Why not sell the dress? She obviously wasn't destined to wear it anyway! But when the Bargain Shopper switched her phone number with an ad for a vintage truck, Annie had some choice words for the conceited oaf who called himself The Pick–Up Man.

In the flesh, Mr. Pick–Up was gorgeous, sexy, with a body to die for. Unfortunately, he was also her first ex–fiancé the only man she truly ever loved. Oh, and one small thing: He wanted to buy the dress for another woman!

Doctor Valentine

$5.99

The holiday heart

February 14th
The doctor is IN love!

The arrow as if guided by radar, or maybe Cupid pierced Peter Holiday's posterior. Only archer Mary Ellen Magnussen saw stars when she looked into the sexy doctor's milk–chocolate eyes. But with the feather–tipped shaft protruding from his rump, she doubted he would ask her to be his Valentine.

Pain may have made the always–in–control Peter delusional because he was besotted with the one woman who was off–limits. As a scientist, he'd committed himself to eliminating romantic love, but as a man, he'd gladly be ravaged by it for one kiss from Mary Ellen's sweet, rosebud lips.

Everyone loves the Holidays!

Elise & The Hotshot Lawyer

$5.99

New Year's Bachelors

New Year's Resolution #2: Harass a Hunk!

Dylan McAllister, Salt Lake City's hottest attorney–at–law, dripped masculinity like summer rain off a hot tin roof. But when Elise Allen used an inherited ticket to the New Year's bachelor auction to buy him, she had only one thing on her mind: revenge.

Dylan had taken Elise to the cleaners in the courtroom, but a week by her side in her busy vet practice would be the perfect payback. Contending with a jealous chimp, a dehydrated tarantula and an amorous pig would surely leave even a hotshot lawyer begging for mercy if only Elise could keep her mind off his briefs.

Suddenly a Family

"He wants me?"

With ice blue eyes, silver–streaked hair and a diamond–studded ear, Edmund Winters was one magnificent male. And Ann Madison had only one question for him why was he interested in her? Eddy was a man of the world, with expensive tastes and no commitments. Annie hadn't had a date in years unless of course you counted meat loaf dinners with her ten–year–old son!

But in gallant fashion, Eddy swept Annie off her feet. He even charmed her kid or was that vice versa? Annie wanted nothing else than to revel in the fantasy of this man's affections and have her son enjoy some guy bonding. But Eddy wasn't husband or father material or was he?

Bachelor #1 Sean O'Malley rancher and volunteer fireman was hotter than the flames he put out.

But what happened when the trio dubbed him Mr. Wrong?
