A SECOND CHANCE Donovan Sinclair was stunned. His wife, Elizabeth, was leaving after almost twenty years of marriage. True, they'd gotten married as teenagers because they had to, but their love had been as real as the baby on the way. Donovan had made a promise then to take care of Elizabeth, and he'd thought his financial success was proof he'd lived up to that vow. Now, forced to take a long, hard look at his marriage, he realized the sharing, the support, were gone. But not the loving. He had to go after his wife. And when he found her, he would make her a new promise: he would never let her go again...

Brittany never got a chance to tell Dan about the baby. Now it was too late, and with no one to turn to, she faced a desperate future. Until Michael Sinclair offered a solution. As Dan's best friend, he told himself that helping Brittany was temporary, just until she was on her feet again. But neither of them had expected their passion. Nor could they have anticipated the twist of fate that would put it all to the ultimate test.

Devlin Russel spent nearly a decade in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Finally free, he wanted nothing more than to live a life free of walls and, most especially, free of people and the entanglements that went with them. Then he pulled a beautiful young woman from a flooded river. He brought her into his home, into his life. He told himself he was just letting her stay until she got back on her feet but Annalise St. John soon worked her way into the heart he would have sworn he didn’t have anymore. Annalise had lost everything that mattered. Nearly losing her life didn’t seem to matter much one way or another but then Devlin pulled her from the water and gave her shelter. He gave her warmth and a gruff, undemanding care. As the days passed, she felt herself starting to see the world in color again, remembering how to smile, how to laugh. How to love. Devlin had let her into his life. Would he be willing to let her open the walls he’d built around his heart?
