Mikal Romanov was a dreamer, an idealist, a man who'd dedicated himself to making the world a better place. But idealism was no recommendation to sensible Morgan Kramer. Her father had been a dreamer, too, and his dreams hadn't left him time for anyone else. So why was she trading common sense for romantic nonsense? Why was she willing to follow Mikal halfway around the world, risking everything to help him in his quest? And why was she falling in love with an intensity that burned like a thousand candles on the darkest winter night?

THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE . . . For the love of her son, Elizabeth Donnelly was going to sneak back to De Colores, an island paradise to the eye and a horror to the soul. There she would find her boy, a prisoner of the regime just as she had once been, and spirit him to safety. But she couldn't do it alone. She sought help from Sloan McQuade, a tough-hearted loner who frequented the, trouble spots of the world and always came away with what he wanted. At first he tried to dissuade her, but then she began to have a strange effect on him. The man who'd sworn he could never love any woman decided to tackle the impossible to make this woman happy.

SWEET VENGEANCE ... Miguel Hidalgo had been left for dead by the minions of De Colores' evil dictator, but he was very much alive—and determined to exact revenge and return his country to freedom. But even a man of Miguel's determination and talents couldn't accomplish that alone. He needed Veronica Harper. Ronnie had flown into De Colores on a mission of mercy only to find herself hijacked at gunpoint, forced to fly the handsomest man she'd ever seen to safety. Soon guns were no longer necessary, because once Ronnie heard Miguel's story she was eager to help him rescue his island home, and even more eager to spend the future by his side.
