Sparkle

Kat Petroski has a weakness for swoo. That indescribable charm guys from the wilder side have. Not that falling for it has worked out for her, since she's a twice-divorced mother of two. So she's got an early-warning swoo alert. Then Jack Treadwell walks into her life.

Between his motorcycle and his adventure-seeking attitude, Jack has all the trappings she can't resist and should. Still, is that the real Jack? Something tells her he may be more dentist than biker. But is he father material? Because swoo aside, Kat's a mom first. And the man who wins her heart must first win over her boys.

Only in Hollywood would someone like Mac McGannon fall for someone like Morgana Carlyle. After all, he's a struggling miner trying to be a single dad and she's a celebrity who's been on magazine covers. She's so gorgeous, Mac's little girl is convinced Morgana is a princess. And everyone knows princesses aren't parent material.

Or are they? Because his daughter has already decided Morgana would make the perfect mom--for her. And Mac has to admit it's not hard to picture himself with Morgana in a forever kind of way. There's just one problem: Morgana is definitely not who she says she is.

Every Valentine's Day is a gift

A day to celebrate your love--and the hope the belief that it will be everlasting.

In Valentine's Daughters by Tara Taylor Quinn it's a day to remember old promises...and make new ones.

In Our Day by Jean Brashear it's when love gets a second chance.

In The Hand That Gives the Rose by Linda Cardillo it's the day love finally bridges two separate worlds.

In college, Shane Reynard lacked the nerve to tell Jenna Murphy how he felt. Now, with all his Hollywood success behind him, lack of nerve is not what holds him back. When his latest TV show lands him in Jenna's hometown, he offers her a place on his writing team. Too bad spending a lot of time with her reminds Shane of every single thing he liked about her.

But as much as Shane wants to fall for her, there's a family secret he has to confess first. And once she knows the truth, there's a real chance Jenna will never want to see Shane's face again.

It's been months since that horrible day USAF captain Miranda Morgan flew her C-130 Hercules into lethal cross fire in Afghanistan. But Randi still can't believe Ty, her best friend-her anchor when a disastrous marriage left her a single mother-is really gone.

Now back on her ancestral land in southeastern Oklahoma, Randi knows she did all she could to get Ty out safely, but his billionaire father is convinced there's blood on Randi's hands, and through his fog of hatred will stop at nothing to punish her.

But when physics professor Pete Engstrom asks permission to study the mysterious rune stones scattered around her property, Randi is convinced she's found the one man willing to watch her back. That is, until a buried secret is revealed. And someone with an eye cast on fortune is lurking, ready to strike a final blow.

When she made that late-night call, Molly Duncan thought she was phoning her handsome neighbor with a simple noise complaint. Then the sound of gunfire plunged her into a world filled with danger, intrigue and, thanks to her neighbor turned twenty-four-hour-a-day bodyguard…romance!

For Sam Henderson, being awakened by the police to make sure he hadn't been shot was not his idea of a relaxing evening. And when he realized that the gorgeous woman next door was in real danger, he had no choice but to devote his days-and his nights-to her. It looked as if sleep would be elusive-but maybe, with Molly in his arms, he could find another use for the hours between dusk and dawn….

FBI agent Max Calder is working undercover to bring down a Russian Mafia ring, which is running an elaborate scam staging accidents and bilking insurance companies. He's disguised as a Russian immigrant, Anatoly Kuzmina, and has successfully-or so he hopes-infiltrated the group.

Gaby Peris, an attractive widow, inadvertently ends up in the middle of one of these accidents. Is she an innocent victim or part of the scam? Does she know who he really is?

Max has to find out-because he's starting to fall for her and fall hard.

Rugged rancher and widower Jake Henderson could have told you the exact day his life ended--it coincided with the day his wife was killed. Because for the longest time Jake felt that he wasn't really alive, either. And then came that invitation to dance--from a woman with the best pair of legs he'd ever seen. And looking up, he saw that she had a face to match....

Suddenly Jake was falling fast, though he doubted that lovely investigator Rachel Quinn saw him as her ideal man--prime suspect was more like it! But if he could clear himself of the latter charge, could he still be convicted of the former?

Can modern women survive the rigors of pioneer life?

Professor Nolan Campbell is doubtful. But his sharp-tongued sister, Sherry, wants to prove that today's women can handle anything. She dares Camp to recruit a group of women to reenact the kind of wagon train journey made by settlers of the 1820s. And he accepts, curious what the outcome will be.
