Now she could make her dreams come true. Edie Gibbs stared at the check in her hand. She'd never imagined that the inventions Joe worked on during their eighteen years of marriage would provide a windfall after his death. Actually, she had only one dream: to own a ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota. And now, she could. But it wasn't quite that simple. Her new ranch was a run-down wreck, and her neighbor, arrogant local rancher Will Maddock, made every encounter a battle. Some dream, Edie told herself.

"Are you admiring the view?" he asked.
"Yes," LaRaine agreed without turning. She did not want Travis McCrea to see the brightness of the unshed tears in her eyes. "It's a vast, beautiful . . . " The lie stuck in her throat. She could not find anything beautiful about this desolate country. " . . . nothing." she finished with cold, blatant truthfulness.
"You could be right." Travis considered her reply. LaRaine felt his gaze on her. Heat rushed through her body as she realized he was applying the description to her instead of the land-a beautiful nothing!

"I do still love you and want you back again." Jonah's gaze roamed possessively over Bridget's upturned face. "So don't think I've given up because I haven't." She gasped at his audacity. How dared he come back as if nothing had ever happened? She thought of her struggle to rebuild her world without him in the small Vermont town - the placid, comfortable life she'd finally achieved. He wanted her back, did he? Well, he could just think again. Jonas had walked out of her life ten years ago, and she wasn't going to let him walk back into it!

Crimson flamed through Lacey's cheeks. Why had she involved herself in this situation? Why had she agreed to share the beach house with Cole? She must have been crazy! She was crazy to stay with him, Lacey told herself. But she just couldn't leave. She was dangerously, irresistibly attracted to Cole-and they both knew it!

"I don't care why you came back." Maggie's eyes flashed angrily as she added, "You're the father of my son-but that's all. I divorced you five years ago because I wanted you out of my life. I don't want you now!" It was a lie. The divorce hadn't stopped Maggie from loving Wade. Only pride kept her from admitting it. And pride made her contain her curiosity about Wade's return. He'd said he merely wanted to visit their son, Mike. But Maggie secretly feared there was something more...
