He felt around in the icebox, and she traced the twist and turn of his trim waist, the lift of his muscled arms, desire spiraling in her gut. Age had improved him and that made seeing him much harder. ----- When Michael O'Fallen walked out of Amber's life, she never got over it. Now, things around her are falling apart, and she's tired of living the way she has. There is nowhere else to run-but into his arms. Or so she thought. Yet he has a wife and a child he adores, and a best friend unlike anyone she's ever known. How does she fit in? Can she forget her past? And what of the secret she...

He rested his chin on the top of my head, his breath blowing through my hair. "Georgia's a nice name," he said. "But you'll always be Penelope to me." ----- Georgia Davis didn't know the boy standing there, or why moments later when he asked to kiss her she said yes. Kiss a complete stranger? Who does that? Yet the most amazing kiss she's ever had then becomes a first date with an agreement to forget their real names. Really it makes no sense. Except somewhere deep inside, for one evening, it just has to be this way. He's Ichabod, and she's Penelope. From best-selling author, SUZANNE D....

Nathan hadn't kissed her like that, but Ezekiel would have no way of knowing it. His overtures had been bold, like he was, daring. Not sensitive and giving like this. Ezekiel pulled back and unspeaking, tucked her head to his chest. One of her hands raised, almost involuntary, scooping beneath his shirt to a place in the center. "I'm not Nathan," he said quietly. No, he wasn't, and she understood that now. He was different and deserved to be seen on his own terms. "Who are you then?" she asked. "Ezekiel Knapp. Right now, the luckiest man on the planet." ----- The death of Clementine Button's...

If I take the wings of the morning...even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. (Psalm 139:9-10) She drew in a breath. "He's brought me here for Love. That is the highest calling He bestows. He is Light, but He is Love. It's His Love that seeks those who've wandered away. He would have everyone to know He loves them." She hesitated, her body shaking, and dug her fingers into her side. "I'm too cold," she said. "He says I need to experience true love to continue, and for the first time I am frightened." ---------- Called from birth to carry the Light of God into a...

He rolled over on his side, facing her, and took her head in his hands. "You're good at way more than pool. I don't know why anyone ever rejected you, but I want to say this up front. No matter who you are, I want you here." "You keep talking like that and this'll become real," she replied. He kissed her softly. "That's what I'm hoping." ----- Haydn Fabrinni is a spoiled rich boy used to getting his way. But growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth has definite drawbacks, especially when a girl he doesn't like determines to put his ring on her finger. Upset and willing to do anything to...

Josh blinked. He could still kiss her. Then he'd know if he was crazy to think it at all. If it flopped, they could laugh it off. "Well, I guess ..." she began. She reached for the knob. "Wait." She tilted her head up, and he inhaled, his nerve wavering, then stepping closer, dipped his head and pressed his lips to hers. "Goodnight," he said softly. "I'll call you." ----- Joshua Dixon didn't think spending a few days with Mia Girard would become so important. After all, no girl had ever wanted to be with him before.

He had no right to be happy with someone else, someone innocent and sweet, a woman full of love for two little girls whose parents were miles away, a woman who made his pulse race, his palms sweat. His heart longed for the dream he'd given up, the one where he held the love of his life in his arms with no other thought but her.
