A Father's Fortune
2003
Tough, rugged carpenter Digger Clayton was good at avoiding his past—he stayed far away from kids and pretty women. Until nursery school teacher Erin Taylor offered him a job he couldn't refuse, in a sweet, sexy voice that took his breath away...and tempted him to fight for a future—with her.
Erin loved children, but she'd long ago given up on having a family of her own—until she hired Digger to renovate her day-care center. Now, one breathtaking smile at a time, this brawny builder was reshaping her heart. Could she convince him to try his hand at happily ever after?

Love On Call
2004
It wasn't a love bug Dr. Mallory Russell was looking to cure when she stepped into the Philadelphia General E.R. that day. But that's exactly what she was bitten by when the notoriously gifted-but-cold pediatric surgeon Bradley Clayton suddenly started to thaw. Seemed all it took was a life-and-death struggle with a drug-addicted patient for him to notice her....
But both doctors had a closetful of secrets and hurts, and neither Mallory nor Brad wanted to reveal their closely guarded heart to the other. However, their paths crossed again and again. Both of them yearned for each other emotionally...and physically. This need was enough for now. But was it a strong enough basis for the future?
