Labor of Love

Coming June 10!

Dawn has found the perfect way to forget her cheating boyfriend. Leave town for the summer and do something very distracting, like volunteering to help rebuild storm-torn New Orleans. But when she meets handsome, kind Brady, Dawn realizes she could be fixing more than a devastated house--she might also be able to repair her broken heart.

TRUST ME

Oh, no. This CAN'T be happening. Me and Sean Reed? "Trust Partners" for the entire counselors-in-training program? Sean may have deep blue eyes that make my heart flutter whenever he looks at me, but he's always been a trouble-maker. Being thrown together all summer? That is so not going to work. Even if he does have a really, really nice smile. Trust me on this.

Amelia and

The Outlaw

Avon True Romance # 10

January 2003

ISBN: 0-06-000914-4

Amelia
With a strict, eagle-eyed judge for a father and two older brothers to back him up, Amelia Harper is doted on and protected within an inch of her life. She's not even allowed to have a sweetheart until she's seventeen. Amelia longs for the day she can do as she pleases, but that day doesn't seem to be in any hurry to arrive.

The Outlaw
For a young fellow, Jesse Lawton has a surprisingly shady background. The only wonder is that it took him until the age of fourteen to end up in jail, so wild was the path he'd been on. But five years have passed, and his luck finally seems to have turned: he's been freed. If only he can stay on the straight and narrow...

When Jesse arrives at the Harper ranch to work off the remainder of his sentence, it's no surprise the judge's pretty daughter catches his eye. What he doesn't know is that this young lady is itching for excitement, and with one look into his haunted eyes, Amelia knows she's found it in Jesse. Without meaning to, Amelia forces the erstwhile outlaw into a choice between his freedom and his heart.

 

Samantha and

The Cowboy

Avon True Romance #1

May 2002

ISBN: 0-06-447341-4

Samantha
When she manages to get herself hired for the cattle drive, Samantha believes all her prayers have been answered. The hundred dollars she'll earn will pull her family's Texas farm out of ruin and pay off their debts. But keeping the cowhands fooled that she's a boy becomes harder than she'd expected where one cowboy in particular is concerned.

The Cowboy
Matthew Hart wants two things: to forget the tragedies he witnessed on the front lines of the War Between the States, and to reclaim his cowboy life. The last thing he wants is the responsibility of a tagalong youngster on the cattle drive. His closed mind and hardened heart are territory best left unexplored, until a fateful moment turns his world upside down. 

Matt discovers what and who "Sam" really is, and he is furious. But soon a stronger emotion takes hold, and bound by Samantha's secret, Matt is torn between revealing her identity and his own sudden and frightening love for her.
