FIRST LOVE—FOUND

Meg McKee kept the peace in Sweet Creek as the no-nonsense chief of police. But to elusive Ethan Red Wolf, Meggie wasn’t just the town’s most capable officer. She was the soul mate he’d run away from, the woman the half-Blackfoot teenager felt he’d never be worthy of.

Meg’s life hadn’t turned out as she’d expected, either. Her marriage had fallen into tatters after she’d conquered breast cancer, and her teenaged son was acting out—on Ethan’s land. She knew Ethan still made her heart soar like the eagles that swooped above Sweet Creek’s countryside. But would the lingering shadows of the past fade in time to offer them another chance at love—this time, forever?

But this time Ginny had another man's two beloved children at ther side and nothing to lose. And nothing to gain.

Memo to self:
Second chances are for those brave enough to seize them.

Since the betrayal that had upended her life, Breena Quinlan hid. Hid her feelings in the pages of a journal. Hid her body beneath baggy clothes. Hid in an out-of-the-way Oregon town. But Seth Tucker found thw woman within. His every look, his merest touch told her that he wanted her. Everything about him, especially the way he tried so desperately to be a good dad to his daughter, shouted that he could be trusted. So Breena took the plunge and shared his address, then shared his bed.

That had been easy.

Sharing her secret required a leap of faith.

The guy next door...

Jon Tucker was doing just fine living by his lonesome, steering clear of pets and people. Until his neighbor's cat gave birth to kittens on his favorite shirt. But after returning the new family to its rightful owner, Jon was finding it hard to stay away from Rianne Worth. In fact, ignoring the alluringly petite mother of two would be downright unneighborly.

The sexy guy in faded jeans who charged onto her land was no stranger to Rianne. Beneath the ex-cop's gruff manner was the same boy who'd awakened the sweetest yearning in her schoolgirl heart. Now the single father was back in Misty River...and Rianne knew that this time, her very adult feelings might prove impossible to resist....

Save the last dance for me...

Meeting handsome Dr. Michael Rowan and his adorable niece was like a one-two punch to Shanna McKay's heart. But while six-year-old Jenni instantly bonded with Shanna, the sexy single dad seemed determined to steer clear of his newest employee.

This slight, lovely woman could really lift a five-gallon bucket of oats and gentle horses? And what about the delirious effect she was having on him? Like Michael, Shanna harbored a secret sorrow. But she was willing to see where their slow dance of desire led. Could he go the distance, taking a chance on a woman who could heal them both and, together, create the kind of family they'd always dreamed of?
