Booted, spurred and covered with dust, he looked as out of place in the tidy little Pennsylvania church as a wolf at a tea party. Lila Adams stood before the minister, ready to say the words that would bind her to a man she didn’t love. She was determined to be a good wife, determined to make sure her husband would have no cause to regret the bargain they’d made. But when the door to the church banged open and he strode up the aisle, all her careful plans were shattered. Bishop McKenzie made the long journey from Colorado in a white hot rage, determined to get there before the wedding...

One of them was going to have to get married. The McLain brothers agreed on that much. Running the Bar-M-Bar ranch took just about every minute of the day – from can see to can’t see. They didn’t have time for beating dust out of carpets and chasing cobwebs from the ceiling. They’d tried hiring a housekeeper but that hadn’t worked out so well and, two housekeepers later, neither of them was enthused about trying to find housekeeper number three. Besides, there was more to consider than just dirty floors and greasy kitchens. Though they were still in the prime of life, it wasn’t ...

If that meant going toe to toe with the one man who might be able to help her find the crash site, she was fine with that. Cody Wolf might be the most intimidating – and gorgeous – man she’d ever met but she wasn’t going to back down. He was going to help her find ...

Originally published in 1990. No one would ever forget the summer Jake Quincannon came back to Riverbend – and turned the head of the town librarian. Paige Cudahy had always been such a sweet, quiet girl. She’d never gotten into any trouble, never done anything to stir up gossip on the local grapevine but she certainly set tongues wagging when she took up with the small town’s returning rebel. With his big motorcycle and his black leather jacket, not to mention the eye patching covering one eye, it was obvious that nearly twenty-year-old predictions that Jake would come to no good had...
