Book 79

"Any woman who can make a man laugh and want to jump her bones at the same time is more valuable than rubies and pearls." - Rocky Waters, ex-hotshot journalist and unlikely hero

Rocky Waters first met Sarah Jones when she was a shy teenager. Now scandal had followed the senator's daughter to North Carolina, and Rocky had to warn her. Sarah fiercely guarded her privacy - and the child she secretly supported.

But Rocky was just as determined to win over this sensual, spirited widow who aroused his protective instincts - and a whole lot more....


"I'm not a family man, but I sure as hell am willing to try." - Travis Holiday, former Coast Guard officer When Travis learned he had a son, he'd gone into emergency mode: build a home, become a dad, settle down. No more heroics. But when he came upon the dark-haired goddess stranded in a coastal storm, Trav just had to help. He knew Ruanna Roberts was running from something... but all that mattered now was his son. So why did his arms instinctively open up to Ruanna - and not let go?

Some men are made for lovin' - and you'll love our MAN OF THE MONTH, the last of The Lawless Heirs!


MAN OF THE MONTH TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME

MR. MARCH

The Beast: Gus Wydowski, a brooding bachelor with a weakness for beautiful women - but not for bouncing babies!

The Beauty: Mariah Brady didn't need a man who knew nothing about babies - especially when she was juggling a newborn!

The Baby: Was cute little Jessie going to hook Mariah a husband? Gus couldn't diaper an infant to save his life, but he also couldn't stay away from Mariah Brady.

And Mariah and baby Jessie were a package deal, so before he knew it, he was knee-deep in bottles and diaper pins. And now the beauty was trying to turn the beast-bachelor into a family man!

Man of the Month: Can the beauty transform the already-handsome beast into a husband?
