A cop's creed: If your partner dies, take care of his family.
John McLean is a single father and a cop-and he takes all his duties seriously. A year ago, after her husband died, he added Natalie Reed to his list of responsibilities. At first, that just meant helping around the house. Then a body is found in her den....
Once he learns the victim's identity-and his connection with Natalie's husband-John realizes the safest place for Natalie is with him. He knows it's the honorable thing to do. But even when you're right, it isn't easy to feel good when you're falling in love with your partner's wife.
On an ordinary day, in an ordinary neighborhood, a knock on the door of an ordinary house leads to an extraordinary revelation.
Detective Connor McLean is the man who came to call, carrying with him a child's accusation. Connor's visit ended Mariah Stavig's marriage and left her a struggling single mother. Three years later, the word of another child brings Connor back into Mariah's life.
Connor knows his investigations can ruin as much as they fix, but he has no choice. He has sworn to speak for the innocent and seek justice for the victims. And now, to do his job, he has to have Mariah's help-no matter how much she hates him.
Beth Sommers isn't looking for love.
She's concentrating on her daughters and her business-and on convincing her ex-husband that their marriage really is over. Even if she was looking, it wouldn't be at a man like Sheriff Jack Murray.
She knows Jack's a good cop, a good man...one she can count on. She still figures she'll be better off with a quiet, gentle-maybe even slightly boring-guy. She's already had enough excitement to last her a lifetime.
But before long, Jack has her thinking that his kind of excitement is exactly what she needs.
Enjoy the dreams, explore the emotions, experience the relationships.
Stranded with a sexy soldier...
A mountain blizzard, an enigmatic war veteran and an isolated cabin - not what Fiona MacPherson expected when she set out on a trip into the mountains with her students! Taking shelter from the storm at John Fallon's lodge, Fiona is drawn to the quietly commanding battle-scarred warrior. When her arrival shatters John's solitude, his world shifts on its axis.
As the storm rages outside, John's feelings for the sweet teacher get stronger. The ex-soldier faces his hardest fight - finding the courage to reach out to the remarkable woman who has transformed his life!
More than anything, Officer Nell Granstrom wants to stop history from repeating itself. Born to a sixteen-year-old mother, Nell had her daughter, Kim, at the same age. Now Kim's sixteen and has a serious boyfriend.
But how much weight can Nell's words have? Years of living a careful life are over, because she's made another mistake. After witnessing a terrible crime, Nell turns to her new partner for comfort-which leads to a second unplanned pregnancy.
Despite his reputation, Hugh McLean will no doubt offer to do the right thing. But would marriage to a man she hardly knows (and isn't sure she likes) work? For Kim's sake, for the baby's sake, is Nell brave enough to try?
PATTON'S DAUGHTERS
The people of Elk Springs, Oregon, thought Ed Patton was a good man, a good cop, a good father. But his daughters know the truth....
Abby's the third Patton sister. The baby. The one everyone said was privileged, spoiled. But a childhood with a harsh unapproachable father and only vague memories of a mother wasn't easy. Even if she did work hard to make it look that way.
Now Abby's determined to live up to her image and have fun. Until she meets Detective Ben Shea, a man who's plenty serious-about his job, his life and suddenly her.
Maybe, just maybe, it would pay to get serious.

Instead of the pilot he wanted to be, he trains and raises dogs. He's a man living a secluded existence in a rambling country house. A man with secrets.
And yet-like Jane Eyre, with Liam playing the Mr. Rochester role-Charlotte's powerfully drawn to him. Falling in love, dreaming of marriage and babies and the promise of forever. A promise Liam may not be able to make...or to keep.
At their last reunion, they all accepted a challenge: look up your first love. Find out what happened to him, what kind of man he became.
Since Zoey's spending the month before Christmas back in her old hometown-Stoney Creek, in British Columbia's interior-she decides she'll take the opportunity to search for Ryan Donnelly, the boy she'd loved with all the passion in her teenage heart.
Zoey ends up visiting the Donnelly ranch, and she discovers that Ryan-who's still single-does seem interested in pursuing something with her. But what about his brother, Cameron? Cam Donnelly, successful rancher and single dad, is as remote and mysterious as Ryan is flirtatious and charming. Does he approve of her "romance" with Ryan or not? What does he think of her? Zoey's not sure why it even matters...and yet she knows it does.
The terrible twos are nothing compared to the traumatic teens.
David Whitcomb is a good father and once upon a time, his thirteen-year-old daughter Claire adored him. But times have changed and Claire seems intent on running away to live with her mother-a woman who's unable to look after her.
In desperation, David turns to Grace Blanchet, the mother of Claire's best friend. Grace agrees to foster Claire while father and daughter work things out. She knows this is what's best for Claire. She's just not sure it's best for her. Does she really want to "play house" with a man who, much as she's attracted to him, reminds her of another man-one she'd prefer to forget?
