Enchanted by Alexis Harrington is set in Oregon in 1875. Leah Whitman runs Whitman's Dry Goods, right next door to the gunsmith, Austin Ryder.

But when she begins to dream about Austin after he mistakenly kisses her, she begins to wonder.

A legend about a pirate's treasure brings Nell Jolley and Sebastian Kane together in The Golden Mermaid by Sonia Simone. Nell thinks she has conjured up the pirate Despicable Jack when she first meets Sebastian on the beach in the Florida keys. But her father and Sebastian are searching for a gold statue, the Bathing Maenad. When her father is injured, Nell decides to stow away on Sebastian's ship to make sure he doesn't keep the statue for himself. Sebastian is often frustrated and occasionally amused by the whirlwind Nell. She has been raised with unconventional beliefs and Sebastian finds himself wondering what life would be like with such a woman.
