SEALED WITH A...SLAP?

The kiss was desperate, passionate, leaving Kelly Hampton no alternative but to smack the sinfully sexy cowboy who'd taken liberty with her lips. Didn't matter that Pete Crawford was her best friend's brother. Didn't matter that he'd handpicked her to foil a fortune-hunting femme fatale's advances. Pete was a cowboy, and Kelly had the broken heart and fatherless baby boy to prove that cowboys couldn't be trusted.

What if Pete doted on Drew, becoming the dad her child had never known? What if he proved to be more a gentleman during their "pretense" than anyone she'd ever known? The irrefutable truth was that neither of them intended to wed...ever.

Then Pete kissed her again....


Book 2

Like her very own knight in shining armor, rancher Joe Crawford emerged from the mist to rescue Anna Pointer from a desperate situation. Widowed and raising two children alone, Anna could not refuse Joe's offer of assistance, though she was determined to ignore her attraction for the wealthy bachelor.

A man of few words, Joe had always kept to himself. But Anna claimed to see beyond his beastly demeanor, giving this solitary man hope that a happily-ever-after was within his grasp...if only he dared to risk all that he was and become the prince this beauty believed him to be.
