Marriage, Interrupted

2005

Some men can love forever… It started when Cass’s teenage son called his father to come and visit. Which was how Blake found himself face-to-face with the woman who’d tripped up his heart eighteen years before. Only, now she was pregnant with another man’s child… As if her life wasn’t complicated enough, here was Blake, her ex, in the flesh – even more sexy and irresistible than Cass remembered. But her fantasies of happily-ever-after had ended along with their youthful marriage. Except there was something Cass didn’t know about her former husband: he was a man determined to get his family back and pick up where he and Cass had left off – this time forever…

Baby Steps

2006

It was bad enough that her partners left shy store owner Dana Malone to scout new retail space with devastatingly handsome Realtor C. J. Turner. Then—wham! —her way-out wayward cousin literally left a baby on Dana's doorstep, and a birth certificate listing C.J. as the father. Raising her ultracute nephew was a dream come true, and as she and C.J. shared baby duties and close quarters until paternity was established, Dana kept her cool. But every time the commitment-phobe looked at Dana, the yearning in his deep blue eyes provoked a meltdown. Would what started as a small step for Dana's store turn into a giant leap for Dana's love life?
