SCANDAL’S DAUGHTER? Was it fate that led beautiful Jessie Pierce into Samuel Connors’ embrace? Surely only fate could have drawn her to the man with whom she shared a secret for which neither had the key…. For buried somewhere in the missing memory of Jessie’s first five years was the answer to who had killed her mother and framed Samuel’s father for the crime. Now a specter from the past was trying to ravage the promise of their future, as Jessie found herself the target of a killer. And though Samuel had sworn to protect her, their lives and their newfound love were both at mortal risk….

He was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks, but that hadn't stopped Wade Armstrong from wanting Edie Brand while they were in high school. Now she was back in town, and Wade felt compelled to keep her safe—even if it meant moving in with her. Edie's pretty face had always gotten her noticed, but now it had earned the former model the admiration of a stalker. So she left L.A. for her Oklahoma hometown, hoping for a place to hide, and found shelter in the most unexpected place. But as the stalker got closer to home, independent Edie had to entrust her life to Wade's protection—and found herself surrendering her heart, as well.

A WOMAN WORTH WAITING FOR… Undercover Agent Joshua Carter had only wanted to help sweet Amanda Wainwright. Instead, her being seen with him had put the shy secretary's life in danger…and under his twenty-four-hour protection. But from the moment virginal Amanda stepped into the playboy's apartment, it was Josh's life that was on the line, because he still remembered one long-ago, stolen kiss. And although Josh had tried to act honorably by giving Amanda space, her fragile vulnerability still called to him and awakened every male instinct. Now Josh wanted a future. Could he make this inexperienced beauty see beneath the playboy facade to a heart that beat true blue?
