Schoolteacher Lisa Kittridge had sworn off men for a while, but when she met Ian Malone, her gorgeous, if exasperating, new volunteer, that promise went out the window!
She'd vowed never to get involved with another man, yet she couldn't control her urges to crack the mystery he was hiding behind. Who was the real Ian Malone? Ian knew that working as a volunteer for a lovely teacher at a homeless shelter wasn't exactly a prison sentence.
But he had an identity he was loathe to reveal and secrets to keep–and the beautiful Lisa was too dangerous to be around. Loose lips, and all that…
When the viviacious MacKenzie Ryan met her dour new neighbour, it was hardly love at first sight. Not only was the self-contained research scientist gruff and rude, but MacKenzie was also grappling with a heartbreak that had shattered her heart–and left her pregnant.
Even so, there was something about Dr. Quade Preston that just wouldn't let MacKenzie shy away.
After his wife died, Quade swore he'd never feel pain like that again. But try as he might, Quade couldn't escape the mile-a-minute force of nature that lived next door. When he learned she was expecting, could he still welcome MacKenzie into his life…and into his heart?
Meticulous and by-the-book, corporate lawyer Jack Lever was used to order-not the disorder of two small children. When his babysitter abruptly quit, the single dad didn't know where to turn. He couldn't believe his good luck when Zooey Finnegan agreed to become his nanny.
Uninhibited and fun, Zooey was happy to take care of Jack's children instead of sitting behind a desk in her family's business. And to her surprise, Zooey soon loved the Levers like they were her own flesh and blood. It didn't take long for Jack's kids to fall hopelessly in love with her, either.
Their father could be a different story....

The best-looking man the town of Hades has ever seen isn't just toiling in the town's only medical clinic; I hear he's also doing good-in more ways than one-with gorgeous girl-next-door Heather Kendall.
You don't remember Heather? No wonder. She hasn't been seen with anyone but her two daughters since the accident that left her a widow. But I think that's about to change. The sparks that are flying around here could melt any heart in Hades...even that elusive Ben's!
Handsome, ruthless attorney Jordan Logan had an amazing track record: he'd never lost a case.
So when he agreed to do a favor for his sister and become a substitute lawyer at Advocate Aid, he thought it would be a piece of cake. What Jordan didn't expect was the all-consuming passion he felt for his work-and for the one-of-a-kind office manager, Sarajane Gerrity.
As suspicious of him as she was stunning, Sarajane was full of surprises. And the biggest surprise of all was allowing herself to fall for a man like Jordan. But the jury was still out on whether this romance could be for real.
When Detective James Munro discovered a cameo necklace on a New York City street, he hoped only to return the keepsake to its rightful owner. He certainly didn't expect that owner to be so adorable and perfect for him.
Indeed, Southern belle Constance Beaulieu was beautiful and as set on showing her gratitude as James was on running away from romance….
Constance was amazed when the necklace she thought lost forever mysteriously resurfaced–all thanks to the gruff, strangely compelling lawman who returned it. Her family legend told of the cameo's power to bring true love to its wearer…and Constance hoped the charm would work its magic on this detective of her dreams.

"WILL YOU DELIVER MY BABY?"
Reporter Sherry Campbell thought she might be asking too much, but her baby was coming and the only one in sight was enigmatic corporate raider St. John "Sin-Jin" Adair. Despite his generosity, he disliked her because she pried into the secret past he desperately wanted to hide. Lucky for her, that didn't stop the billionaire businessman from becoming her hero.
From the moment she cornered him in the elevator, Sin-Jin felt Sherry's hold on him. He wanted privacy and yet he wanted to kiss her into next year. And now after delivering Sherry's adorable son, Sin-Jin found himself yearning to become a part of her family. But would Sherry turn him away when she finally did get the scoop on his past?
Until Jack Hawkins, Teri Cavanaugh had never encountered a case she couldn't crack or a cop whose life wasn't an open book after day one as her partner. Male detectives wanted to be "Hawk." Women flat-out wanted him.
Teri simply wanted to know the man behind the badge, because her sixth sense smelled a story. Hawk resisted, but a good cop knew the value of patience….
Of course, a good cop also knew not to kiss one's partner. Or to cross the line from being partners to being lovers. Yet Teri was guilty on both counts and, worse, seemed powerless to stop what she had started…

But the movie star and the man in uniform discovered an unexpected connection that smoldered hotter than anything on the silver screen. After the cameras stopped rolling, would they give themselves up…to love?

And whether Taylor's really a stranger or the man I was head over heels in love with, I can't stop thinking about him. I just can't understand: Why would I erase my husband from my mind? I've got to find out for sure….
