His job…or his family?

Jackson Garrett is a Hot Shot, one of an elite team who fights forest fires. More than once he's saved the lives of the people on his crew. And more than once, Jackson knows, the reason he's made it out alive is Lexie–his one true love. It's always been a relief that he could go home to her. But now she doesn't want him back.

Lexie Garrett doesn't feel as if she ever had a husband. With Jackson always away, she's raised their daughter alone. During one last night of bliss before she finalizes their divorce, she becomes pregnant. Lexie loves Jackson–she has no doubt about that. But will he be there for her, the way he says he will? This time–and forever?

Where her heart is concerned, Rachel isn't about to take any risks

Pilot Rachel Quinlan is fearless fighting forest fires, but on the home front it's a different story. She's still not completely over her crush on Cole Hudson, love of her sister Missy's life–and he left Eden eleven years ago. Not that it matters, because now she has Missy's kids to raise and her family's failing business to run. But that's before the past collides with the present–and an accident brings Cole to the rescue.

Rachel wants to know if what she feels for Cole is adolescent fantasy or adult attraction. But how can she spend time with him when she has so much to hide?



The Family Man

by Melinda Curtis

Published 16 December 2005

Part-time caregiver Thea Gayle is left to care for two young girls who've been abandoned by their father. She turns to the man who is the only family the twins have – their uncle, Logan McCall. But is Logan – a wildland firefighter who is never home – up to the job?

Thea has to know, because she won't leave the twins with someone else who is going to let them down.

Logan's been in a slump ever since his twin sister died. The biggest mistake of his life was allowing his nieces to be taken away, all because he thought he couldn't raise them on his own. He's going to try to make it right this time, by giving the girls – and Thea – the happiest home he can.

What not to expect when you're expecting…

Becca Thomas is thrilled to be pregnant, even though it means bringing up her baby alone. At thirty-eight, this may be her last chance to have a child. And she doesn't expect to see Aiden Rodas again–doesn't think that a freewheeling younger man like him would even want to be a father.

Wrong

Aiden may live the life of a devil-may-care wildland firefighter, but he's not going to walk away from his responsibilities, no matter how unexpected they are. His challenge now is making Becca see that their child needs both of them. An even bigger challenge will be to make her realize that this expectant father has fallen in love with a certain mother-to-be!
