FROM FATHER TO SON
Janice Kay Johnson
Is an independent cop the best family man?
Niall MacLachlan's
one priority is the law. He fought his way from the wrong side of the tracks to
earn his badge and won't jeopardize it for anything. After all, trusting his
family nearly cost him everything as a kid. So, no. This loner has no desire
for a wife and children to call his own.

So why is his
entirely too attractive landlady, Rowan Staley, slipping past all his defenses?
She and her young
family--complete with noisy dog--are everything Niall thinks he doesn't want.
But he can't keep his distance when she turns to him for protection from a
neighborhood threat. And in the end, letting her go might be impossible.

A child is missing. The words chill Detective Mike Ryan and bring to mind
memories of his own tragedy.
He'll dedicate
every resource he has until the girl Sicily is found, safe...and alive. His
investigation hits a snag with Sicily's aunt and guardian, Beth Greenway.
Beth's cool demeanor is at odds with the situation, making him suspicious.
She's definitely hiding something. But the more time he spends with her, the
less he believes that something is about the missing niece. And with all that
contact, Mike sees Beth's vulnerabilities. Suddenly, he wants to protect her,
even while he wants to know her secrets.
As the search hits
one roadblock after another, Mike's dedication intensifies. He needs to bring
Sicily home for Beth...but also for the future he wants with them.

A GIFT FOR ALL SEASONS
Karen Templeton
Hiring Patrick Shaughnessy to
landscape her new inn was strictly a business arrangement. Until April Ross got
to know the war-scarred single father…and his irrepressible little girl.
Patrick made it clear he wasn't looking for romance. Neither was April. But
could she make him see that some risks were worth taking?

The lively, widowed
blonde might be the most tempting woman Patrick had ever known, but the
returning vet knew a happy ending wasn't in the cards. Still, that was before
April started working her magic on his daughter…and on him. Maybe this
Christmas was a time for new beginnings—if Patrick had the courage to go with
the powerful feelings April had awakened in him….

Gallardo is a ghost. With the nightmares of his past weighing him down, the
best thing he can do is keep to himself. So when a heroic act forces him out of

He can't explain
it, but he's drawn to Jenna and the rebuilding project she's started. And the
more he works with her, the more he wants to leave his past behind and act on
the intense attraction between them. The temptation is so strong, this could be
his second chance at life…at love.

NO ORDINARY JOE
Michelle Celmer
Nothing could stop small-town gal Reily Eckardt from heading to
Nashville and living the dream…until her car and cash savings were stolen en
route. Now she was high and dry in Paradise, Colorado, population 1,632,
relying on the kindness of strangers—in particular, bar and grill owner Joe
Miller. But why did the single dad have to be so gruff—and cute—while he was being kind? Her mission: save
up and split before getting sidetracked by this sexy enigma.

Sure, Joe could
offer Reily a job at his bar. Renting her his garage apartment—no problem. But
giving her a place in his heart—no way! Poor Joe—it wasn't long before the
country crooner had him singing a different tune.
