She rushed to her feet, tears pooling in her eyes, and he drank it in - the flush of her cheeks, her clenched fists, her trembling lip. He forced himself to not look away. This once, Nick, this one time see what you've done. With a sob, she fled the room, and his heart ripped out of his chest. ----- Nick Sawyer's life is spinning out of control. Consumed by hatred for his father, he makes a fateful decision - he'll live life on his own terms. They don't need him anyway.

This was standing in one place and yet seeing nothing but his face. This was thousands of miles between them and home, and yet having beside her all she'd ever need to feel complete.

This was one beautiful kiss where the world fell away and nothing remained but the mingling of their breath. ----- When Celia Boyle asked Gator Lawrence to take her on vacation, she had no idea that such a simple request would become so incredibly complicated. All she wanted was seven blissful...

He curled their values in his fist and tossed them away. They didn't know what it was like to be him, to be forever sealed into a living tomb of his own making, to have here for a few days the most beautiful woman who would give him the solace he craved. They didn't know what it'd be like to be held, to caress and embrace, and finally feel the freedom of it. They were wrong. Their God, their beliefs, didn't take any of that into account. ----- Niccolo Cavatelli, famous cellist, lives in a world filled with music. Yet the notes he hears day and night bring him no closer to the security he...

She gazed at him, unblinking, and made to turn, but his hand cupping her chin, stopped her. Never had she felt more small and insignificant than she did right then, as if the entire earth wasn't big enough for Neil Sanborn. Never had she felt more feminine, like the finest lace sewed to a leather vest. ----- Estelle Moore was sent to Mossy Bottoms to evaluate struggling Sanborn Farms for her boss's next investment. But from day one, the sight of the owners' son, Neil, on a cowboy pin-up calendar seemed to set the tone for the visit. He is amazing, and she has no idea who she's...

What exactly did I want from Roman? If he asked, what would I say? I swallowed hard. No point in thinking that because he hadn't asked, wouldn't ask, and months from now would be way more interested in Manuela than he was in me. That had to be my problem tonight. It was all slipping through my hands, and I was simply unable to stop it. ----- Coralee Pirtle's perfect world changed the day her boyfriend, Roman Avery, hired a girl to work at the hardware store. He says he wants to open on weekends and increase sales. But what if that isn't his only reason? What if he hired the girl because he'd...

She pulled her head back, and the expression she gave him spiraled down into his shoes. He'd blown it ... He'd assumed once he held her close, she'd give in to the attraction growing between them. Yet there it was on her face. She wasn't after his money or his status. It'd take way more than either one of those to win her over. ----- Millionaire playboy Atlas Bellamy never met a woman he couldn't have. Until Meghan Moralez. An accomplished doctor with a thriving practice, she's not swayed by his money or charm and, seemingly, well able to walk away. Then a twist of circumstance thrusts them...
