WIVES WANTED…? Seemed all of Temptation, Texas, was wife-hungry—except for Harley Kerr! The rugged rancher had done the wedded bliss thing before, and he'd rather wrestle a rattler than get tied up with another woman, even one as pretty as his new neighbor. FAMILY FOUND! Mary Claire Reynolds and her two adorable kids were everything Harley had lost and thought to never have again. Then one moonlit night he kissed Mary Claire with a passion that was more than just neighborly…and discovered he'd just been bit! TROUBLE IN TEXAS… When Temptation beckons, three rugged cowboys lose their hearts.

Champion barrel-racer Tegan Ash has nothing left to go home to in her native Australia and every reason to stay in the USA. But her visa is about to expire, and her prospective groom has called off their green-card wedding. Jamie MacCreadie doesnÍt actually want to marry a woman he can't stand, but his best friend and fellow rodeo rider Chet has just let her down and, somehow, he finds himself offering to do the deed instead. ThereÍs no chance it could turn into the real thing, because they have nothing in commonƒ do they?

She’s doing it the way a Holly is supposed to. The right job, the right man, the right kind of wedding. Only, none of it suits Mary Catherine. Brad is good for her. They make an excellent team. Mary Catherine can see that. She’ll make the perfect surgeon’s wife. The fact she and Brad have been friends since childhood doesn’t hurt either. Yet something feels off. Maybe it’s simply the over-the top wedding her stepmother has orchestrated. Maybe it’s cold feet? But then Mary Catherine runs into Jax. The bad boy, hell-raising, hotter than a metal tailgate in the late-summer Texas sun cowboy . . . Jax. The guy she once broke all the rules for. Sigh. She once planned to marry Jax. But in two weeks she’s going to walk down the aisle to Brad instead.
