What Max Wanted, Max Got

And Max wanted Elyn…in Italy…close to him. To keep an eye on her to determine if she was spying for her former company-at least that's what Elyn thought. After all, what other explanation could there be for her sudden transfer right after Max accused her of corporate espionage?

Whatever the circumstances, Elyn was determined to make the best of the situation-she'd just stay out of Max's way. But that was impossible once the two were snowbound in a mountain cabin-especially when Max demanded Elyn's full attention!

The Will Was Outrageous, Scandalous…and Legal!

Inherited wealth sure wasn't what it was cracked up to be, what with Lyle Hetherington hell-bent on making Kelsa's life one unpleasant confrontation after another.

Mind you, Kelsa could certainly understand why Lyle might feel a bit peeved. His father had left her-a mere employee-half of his vast empire. And while Kelsa had gotten on well with her late boss, a bequest like that was ridiculous!

So why in the world had he done it? It certainly wasn't for the reason his son arrogantly assumed, as Kelsa hadn't been the old man's mistress. But try telling that to Lyle Hetherington!

He Was Two Different Men!

"You must be the most impudent female I've ever employed!"

Vere Tolladine had a nerve-how dare he imply that she was the one with the attitude problem? The man was infuriating, objectionable! So why did he arouse such wild, bewildering emotions in Fabienne?

What did she care if he had fascinating gray eyes-or that he was a kind, gentle uncle to his vulnerable seven-year-old-twin niece and nephew? Perhaps she didn't hate him so much after all? But Vere seemed more interested in his beautiful, delicate stepsister-in-law.

So where did that leave Fabienne?

Double Trouble!

Belvia and Josy were twins but, although they looked alike, they were chalk and cheese when it came to their characters. Josy had always been painfully shy, whilst Belvia-well, she wasn't afraid of speaking her mind.

When sisters are in a tight spot they stick together. Josy had a secret that Belvia was determined to keep. And that meant keeping Josy away from Latham Tavenner. Unfortunately the family company needed Latham's help. Belvia had no alternative than to attract Latham's attention.

Latham Tavenner knew exactly which sister he wanted. But he wasn't about to let Belvia know that.

Josh Fereday, widowed and wary, has decided that she isn't marriage material. But now that her twin sister, Belvia, is happily wedded, Josy must get on with her own life.

Dacre Banchereau is offering her an almost perfect solution-a place to stay and a job. But the catch is that Dacre is also proposing marriage…the one thing that Josy feels she can never accept.

Dacre possesses a quality Josy hasn't encountered in a man before: patience. He's asked Josy to marry him and he's prepared to wait-either until she's ready to be his wife, or until he's made her fall in love with him….

Take a chance on Dacre, Josy!

The sequel to Jessica Steele's funny, touching story, The Sister Secret.

Yorke Mackinnon was determined to get back his grandmother's emerald ring…. Grandma had given him two choices: return the ring to her, or give it to the woman he wanted to marry.

Sabina was safekeeping her best friend's engagement ring. When Yorke turned up with some wild story that the ring had been stolen, Sabina wouldn't just tamely hand it over.

So Yorke was prepared to make a deal: Sabina got to keep the ring, but only if she wore it-and pretended to be his fiancée!

Ms. Steele pens a touching love story…"
