Two people used to control out of control with each other She craves security; he needs independence.  She sees the world in black and white; he lives in Technicolor.  He denies his insecurities; she’s only too aware of hers.  He wants her; she wants someone else.  They’re perfect for each other.

She'd seen his type before...

To everybody else, Jordan King was a selfless philanthropist and most-eligible bachelor, but newspaper columnist Kate Brogan had inside information that he was a home-wrecker-handsome and full of false promises.  Just like her philandering father.  Of course, she let "Mr. Irresistible" know, there was nothing he could do to change her mind.

Oh, how Jordan King loves a good challenge.  Besides, he couldn't let Kate's scathing newspaper article go unanswered, not when destroying his reputation also jeopardizes his camp for underprivileged kids.  Setting the record straight is only one of the reasons Jordan has for getting the incredibly sexy Kate Brogan in a canoe for five days on the river....

A second chance at fatherhood...

Legend has it that the lost bowl of Inca ruler Manco Capac has the power to heal.  And the one who finds it will gain the answers he seeks....  Lucas Rydall is looking for redemption.  His search leads him to his ex-wife, Sydney Mitchell--and the son he didn’t know he had.  Even as he confronts Sydney, however, Lucas believes in his heart that his family is still better off without him.

But Lucas isn’t the only one searching for the legendary bowl--and his reappearance in Sydney’s life puts them all in danger.  To save those he cares about, Lucas must put aside his fears and become the man they need.

He has a secret--one he has to hide.

Rhian’s Rooftop Resolutions:

1. Write a children’s book  2. Learn to play basketball  3. Have a summer fling

Between caring for her orphaned nephew and working as a tech writer, Rhian MacGregor has spent several years perfecting the art of abstinence.  But the arrival of Nathan Delaney--her gorgeous housepainter--has her contemplating a new instruction manual: Seducing Your Handyman.

She’s not thinking of getting serious, of course.  She’s only got the summer to herself before it’s back to real life. Besides, Rhian doesn’t do serious, because the consequences are too painful.

Just as they will be when she finds out who Nathan really is....

Old fashioned values never go out of style.  Grandpa Garnier used to say, Love is like a bucking bronco. It takes guts and determination to hang on, but it’s worth the ride.  If only Grandpa was around now to help Tyson Garnier out of this mess.  The famous pro football player is suddenly saddled with a very public scandal--and an illegitimate child.  Tyson needs a good nanny now if he’s going to salvage his career.  And plain, no-nonsense Dakota Brown is the ideal candidate.

Dakota doesn’t care for football--or for a man who doesn’t seem to want his own son.  But she needs this job, and that precious little baby needs her.  Dakota isn’t Tyson’s kind of woman.  But the more he sees of her--and the more he sees of his son--the harder he wants to hang on.

Small town practice would be heaven if it weren't for the women hounding Dr. Bryan Booker.  Tired of playing games and dodging passes, the handsome doctor is resigned to staying single. Until he's guilted into hiring a new office assistant, and she makes him consider changing his mind....

Melissa York is a big surprise.  Despite all she's been through, she's tough, bold and beautiful. But can the town's most-south-after bachelor persuade the survivor who thinks she's damaged goods that when he looks at her he sees his perfect wife?
