"A clash of hearts...
Lucienne was positively outraged. The terrible collision with Lord Perry Wittenden's carriage had all but destroyed her own. And when the infuriatingly good-humored gent published a scandalous account of the accident in the local paper--in which Lucy was identified as a "shrew"--well, that was beyond baring! Indeed, Lucy's every encounter with the man bred chaos, turmoil, disaster...
And yet, Lord Perry was throughly enjoying himself. Lucy was the most temperamental, spoiled and unreasonable young lady he had ever met. But her fiery spirit and captivating beauty drew him deeper into a raging battle of wits--and love was the grandest prize of all."

"Everyone had to go sometime, but Luke Turner never figured he'd end up freezing to death in the middle of a Colorado snowstorm, handcuffed to a gorgeous pickpocket named Maddy Barnes. Of course, she was the one who yanked them both off a speeding train, dodging the bullets of a killer now hard on their trail. Stranded for the duration in a hostile town, the lawman and the outlaw's daughter gradually discovered more trouble than they ever bargained for--and falling in love wasn't making things any easier."

"Margaret Garnett, too tall, too smart, and much too much a Northerner, felt as if she were being watched from the moment she arrived at Tennessee's Magnolia University. The feeling became a shivery chill when she moved into Rebel's Retreat, the historic cottage built by Confederate General Ashton Johnson. But the schock of seeing the general's portrait and recognizing him as the man of her most passionate fantasies left her with an eerie certainty----that somehow his ghost was actually there.
Soon Margaret was reading old letters and devouring every fact on the dashing Ashton, his engagement to a fickle beauty who may have been a spy, his death at the hands of a Union sharpshooter. But nothing prepared Margaret for the fever, the dizziness, and the shock of waking up in a vanished era--in Ash's arms. Suddenly alive in a South of scorched earth and tears, she knew this was where she had always belonged....where she had been sent to alter the course of war itself, to embrace a destiny time could not stop, and a love death could not deny."

"Lady Madelaine's heart is not for sale...especially not to a notorious outlaw like Rhys FitzHenry. Yed Madelaine's hand has been sold, to none other than this battle-weary warrior with a price on his head. A more dutiful maiden might cede to the Laird's command and meekly accept her fate, but Madelaine has never been obedient. She decides to run away, though she never dreams that Rhys will pursue her. She does not expect this taciturn man to woo her with fanciful stories, much less that each of his enthralling tales will reveal a scar upon his shielded soul. She never imagines that a man like Rhys could imperil her own heart while revealing so little of his own feelings. When Rhys's past threatens his future, Madelaine takes a leap of faith. She dares to believe him innocent - and risks her own life to pursue a passion more priceless than the rarest gem."

"Clad in spectacles and plain dresses, Joanna Patterson would make no impression at all on Lord Sedgewick Wylie, if she didn't keep running into him...literally.
The great arbiter of fashion for London society, Sedge had the reputation of caring more about the cut of his coat than the feelings of others...a fact made all too clear to Joanna by his reaction to her. Exasperated by her clumsiness, Sedge insulted her in public--but in private could not forget her shapely figure and the deep chocolate brown of her eyes...."

"Unexpected Peril..
The daring privateer known only as the Black Hawk had chosen to renonce the sea. It was time for Robert Chandler to become a respectable merchant. But he never dreamed that Lady Bianca Stanford's bewitching golden eyes could draw him into a life of intrigue and danger such as even the Black Hawk had never known.
To Bianca, marriage to Robert meant a chance to rescue her father from debtor's prison. Never in her wildest imaginings had she thought that their union would embroil them in a dark plot that would threaten the life of Queen Elizabeth herself...or that Robert's tender embrace would threaten Bianca's own guarded heart."

"The daughter of his enemy..
Lillis of Wellewyn was the most beautiful woman Alexander had ever seen.. A Bride out of Legend. Yet never could he claim her as his own, for he had vowed to let her go when the last of his people were free from her father's tyranny.
Alexander Baldwin was know as an honorable knight, yet to Lillis he was nothing more that a bully who had married her for her dowered lands. A man who had not only made her his prisoner, but had slowly, and ruthlessly, stolen her heart."

"Ship of Dreams...
Molly Kilmartin left Ireland on a ship bound for New York City, determined to stand on her own two feet-to find her piece of the American Dream and never have to ask a soul for anything. She certainly didn't need a man like the dashing Burke Lassiter. So what if he was publisher of the New York Telegram and she wanted to make her living as a writer? Though he'd seduced her with champagne and kind words onboard ship, he'd turned out to be a chauvinistic womanizer like all the rest.
HIS DREAM COME TRUE...
It was her fiery spirit and sharp wit that first drew Lassiter to the auburn-haired beauty, unlike his boring high-society fiancee, Molly Kilmartin wasn't afraid to stand up to him, and she made him laugh. It was just that spunk that might save his paper, he reasoned. But he didn't realize she had the power to save something else; his soul. And if he trusted his heart, she would show him a love more precious that gold."

"Charity Williams had been on mercy dates before. But when Gabriel London showed up at her bedside each day after the accident he caused, she got the feeling this one was different. Gabe had apponted himself her ministering angel.
Then he went a step further and invited her into his Pasadena home. To speed her recovery, he said. And charity suddenly feared such close quarters could only lead to more trouble--but this time, of a different sort.

With shaggy hair, hazel eyes and a smile right out of a woman's fantasy, Gabe London was no ordinary angel...and physical therapy had never been like this."
