THAT DAMNED MAN IS BACK. This is not good. She isn't ready for her late husband's best friend now. Widowed Rhea Masterson is finally finding her footing again after losing her husband so suddenly three years ago. Life is good—her sons have all married and are making her the grandchildren she adores. She is happy now. Until he came back home, anyway. Retired general-turned-diplomat Gerald Talley is moving his overly rigid hiney in right next door. The man is militant, bossy, arrogant, clueless and just a real pain in the neck. Seeing him brings back the memories of the only man she would ever love. Gerald and her husband had been almost inseparable for decades. And it hurts to remember… HE IS USED TO MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. He fixes things that are broken. That isn't happening now. He's failing the ones who matter most. His daughter had suffered a horrible trauma two months earlier—but Marin needs more help than Gerald is equipped to give. But Gerald is not about to fail his daughter ever again. No matter what it takes. THERE IS ONLY ONE WOMAN HE CAN TURN TO. Rhea. As maddening as she's always been, he needs her. So much. Rhea's the one person who can reach his daughter in her time of greatest need, and neither Gerald nor Rhea are ready to let Marin keep breaking. Gerald and Rhea have to team up to fix this, somehow. Before Marin breaks forever. But along the way, they realize one truth: Maybe… life isn't over when you lose the one you love... Maybe you can fall in love again—with the friend you've had right next to you all along.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO START OVER. When her late husband’s family almost abducts her two-year-old daughter, trauma counselor Glenna Carnes knows she has only one real choice. It is time to leave Finley Creek behind—and start a new life elsewhere. She just has to find a job somewhere first. And a place to live. Fast. SECOND CHANCES DON’T COME OFTEN ENOUGH. No one knows that more than him. Rancher Phil Tyler has worked hard to build his struggling ranch into something he and his kids—and a whole host of in-laws and grandkids—can be proud of after life has thrown them all some seriously hard knocks. But managing the ranch, his new business ventures, and his three youngest sons is almost more than he can handle right now. He needs a housekeeper. Fast. AND… THERE SHE IS. Glenna...needing help. Hiring the pretty green-eyed blonde almost ten years his junior to be his housekeeper seems like the perfect solution to both their problems. Especially when Glenna smiles right at him. Making him feel young and alive again. Now he has to convince his brand-new housekeeper to go after that second chance they both deserve. Because Phil wants to be holding her forever now...

HE'D ALWAYS WANTED HER . Nick Tyler had done the noble thing twenty years ago by pushing Robin Patton away when she'd been a teenager with a crush on an older man. Then life had taken them in different directions. But Robin was back in Masterson now. As gorgeous, tempting and intriguing as ever. Nick was never going to survive. WOW. SOME MEN SERIOUSLY GOT BETTER WITH AGE... Nick Tyler was one of them. After one week working with him Robin had come up with a plan. No touching Nick, no falling for Nick, and definitely no kissing Nick. It just wasn't safe. Besides, Robin was far too busy raising three kids on her own to even think about a relationship with a man like Nick...right? But staying away from him was just so hard to do. She was doing good-until one day at work...when there was a knock on the door. A social worker stood there-holding the hand of a little girl. A little girl who was all alone now. A little girl with Tyler blue eyes, and the word daddy on her lips. HE HAD A DAUGHTER HE DIDN'T KNOW. He'd been robbed of six years of his daughter's life-he hadn't even known she'd existed. But Nick had her with him now, where she belonged. Seeing how Nick was determined to be the best father he could had Robin falling hard. Changing her plans. Just a little. Because someone had to help him. And it was going to be her. But helping Nick just kept turning into kissing Nick now...
