"The Chili Pepper has not been an easy sell!"
Pepper Rivera's five
matchmaking brothers had been trying for years to get her safely
married. But much as she loved her family, Pepper had an
independent streak -- and no intention of marrying. General Paul
Rivera was fast losing patience with his stubborn daughter.
General Wyndom Wade had a
similar problem. He'd decided that his handsome, rakish son, Devlin
-- a Major with a womanizing reputation -- needed a wife.
So the two meddling
fathers contrived a strategy to throw their children together. And
although Pepper and Dev were outraged at being outmaneuvered, the
Generals' plan soon started to work...

It wasn't just the
underwear
When Sam Court came raging
into Brynn Powell's lingerie shop, Romantic Notions, to return the
frivolous undies his thirteen-year-old daughter had bought, he was
shocked to find himself attracted to the proprietor.
Sam disapproved of female
vanity. Disapproved of women like his glamorous and unreliable
ex-wife...a category that included former fashion models who "hawked
filmy underwear."
But despite appearances,
Brynn was really a sensible home-and-hearth person. And she had to
wonder if a one-time hockey great with a few too many bruises and an
ex-model with far too many responsibilities could ever make a match
of it.

He was no Prince Charming!
But then, Jade Han wasn't
looking for any glass slippers. Or princes. All she wanted to do
was design floats. So when her Cinderella Coach won her an
apprenticeship with a well-known California float-building company,
Jade was absolutely thrilled.
There were, however, a few
complications. Trask Jennings, owner of Fantasy Floats, didn't want
to be stuck with an apprentice designer, especially "a spoiled rich
kid." Worse, Jade's beloved grandparents not only disapproved of
her career, they had very different plans for her -- including an
arranged marriage!
But the biggest
complication of all was falling in love with her reluctant boss...

Romantic Times by Harriet
Klausner
The romantic relationship
between two well-drawn characters is believable and exciting.
Shadow Mountain Ranch,
near Jessup, California
Franzi DeLisle -- she's
not your typical rancher -- she raises mules. But then, there's
nothing typical about Franzi, from her skill as a tracker to her
distrust of lawmen. She's tough and self-sufficient to a
fault...because she has to be.
Levi Hunter -- U.S.
Marshal. City slicker. Horse-lover and all-around
traditionalist. He's a lawman on a mission...chasing a vicious
killer who's escaped into the Sierra Nevadas.
When Franzi insists on
helping Levi track his quarry, he quickly learns there's only one
creature as stubborn as those "ugly, long-eared mules" -- and that's
Franzi herself!

Romantic Times
A timeless tale of love
and trust, Ms. Denny's new story is full of surprises
"I guess you don't want to
be my friend, huh, Mr. Parker?"
Mike darted a furtive
glance at Sarah. "Mom said you might not..."
Sarah stifled a cry of
protest as Gabe turned the full force of his ice-blue eyes her way.
Couldn't he see she was well and truly trapped? The Honolulu agency
-- Befriend an Island Child -- had sent the wrong man, the wrong
kind of man. Gabe Parker was a surfer and obviously a hang-loose
party guy. Just like her ex-husband! Not the kind of male
influence she wanted for her son.
This wasn't fair! Gabe
had already agreed the arrangement wouldn't work. But it was to her
that Mike looked with his heart in his eyes.
Unexpectedly Gabe spoke
again. "Maybe we should give this a try, after all..."

Love is like Texas
chili -- the hotter, the better!
Chino Delgado is the Chili
Man -- and he knows how to turn up the heat! Chino's not only a
chili professional -- he runs a chain of chili restaurants -- but a
veteran of more cook-offs than you can count.
Hallie Bergstrom, on the
other hand, is new to the world of chili, with its secret
ingredients, odd alliances and funny names. Her alias is Classy
Lassie, and she's involved in all this because of a bet...with
Chino. If her chili can beat his on the cook-off circuit, he won't
turn The Cellar -- Cedarville's historic coffeehouse -- into just
another link in his chili chain.
But watch out! When a
sexy Texan and a Classy Lassie get together, more than the chili
sizzles!
