From the moment he steps off the plane, Luke Johnson knows there's been a colossal mistake. How else can you explain the fact that a man who's content to live in a one-bedroom apartment without so much as a plant to keep him company has inherited an estate in -- of all places -- New Jersey? Not just an ordinary estate, either. This one comes complete with a mansion, a conservatory and some unusual residents along with one very normal, very beautiful woman named Jenny Coleburn... moreFrom the moment he steps off the plane, Luke Johnson knows there's been a colossal mistake. How else can you explain the fact that a man who's content to live in a one-bedroom apartment without so much as a plant to keep him company has inherited an estate in -- of all places -- New Jersey? Not just an ordinary estate, either. This one comes complete with a mansion, a conservatory and some unusual residents along with one very normal, very beautiful woman named Jenny Coleburn. This is not what Luke needs. No, sirree. If Luke's unhappy, so is Jenny. She's just gotten her life and her daughter back on track after the divorce, and now they may lose their home to a man who's as allergic to children as he is to cats. As far as Jenny can see, this is one story that holds no promise of a happy ending. But the fates and her matchmaking housemates think differently. And sometimes, when it's least expected, love blossoms. less

It can't be a coincidence that the band is playing "Stranger in Paradise," not when that's exactly how Rebecca Barton would describe herself. No matter how beautiful the Hawaiian honeymoon resort is, it's no place for a widow with two children and a brown dachshund waiting for her back home in Texas... moreIt can't be a coincidence that the band is playing "Stranger in Paradise," not when that's exactly how Rebecca Barton would describe herself. No matter how beautiful the Hawaiian honeymoon resort is, it's no place for a widow with two children and a brown dachshund waiting for her back home in Texas. Why on earth did she think that this trip would be a good way to decide whether she's ready to open a hotel of her own? It's a mistake, a huge mistake---just like offering first aid to the handsome stranger at the next table was a mistake. Flying all the way from Detroit to Hawaii for what was supposed to be his wedding, he discovered that his fiancé jilted him. And if that wasn't bad enough, he managed to catch his sleeve on fire and then snarl at the beautiful woman who tried to help him. Oddly enough, it's the snarling that bothers him the most, especially when he discovers just how charming Rebecca is. In an uncharacteristically impulsive act, Doug suggests they spend the next week touring the island together. It's a magical week, one that both Rebecca and Doug know will never be repeated, for this is their version of a shipboard romance. They will never see each other again. But fate has other ideas, and a year later Doug arrives at Bluebonnet Spring, Rebecca's newly opened country inn, for a month's stay. It should be a dream come true. Instead, Doug is Rebecca's worst nightmare. There's no hope for a happy ending for them...or is there? less

Judith Barlow is a woman with a problem. She's close to getting a hard-earned promotion at one of the state's stodgiest banks when what was once a dream becomes a reality. The Regency romance that she wrote on a dare is so successful that her publisher urges her to make some public appearances. Judith hid behind a pseudonym—because bankers, at least at Judith's bank—do not write love stories... moreJudith Barlow is a woman with a problem. She's close to getting a hard-earned promotion at one of the state's stodgiest banks when what was once a dream becomes a reality. The Regency romance that she wrote on a dare is so successful that her publisher urges her to make some public appearances. Judith hid behind a pseudonym—because bankers, at least at Judith's bank—do not write love stories. How is she going to appear in public without people recognizing her? The approach of Halloween inspires her, and a reddish blond wig and green contact lenses transform brown-haired, gray-eyed, bespectacled Judith into her alter ego, Lynette. She tries out her masquerade at a costume party where she meets a knight in shining armor. Little does Judith know that the handsome knight is hiding behind a mask of his own. Two days later, she learns that he's none other than Glenn Hibbard, the consultant who's going to conduct a study at her bank. What will happen if he learns that Lynette and Judith are the same woman? And what will Judith do when she learns that Glenn has secrets of his own? less
