Romance Treasury
Dinner at Wyatt’s - Victoria Gordon A typing error in her resume had led Justine's new employer to believe she was a man. She'd been hired for her skills and experience, so why was he that angry? Wyatt Burns, Justine decided, was insolent and chauvinistic, and she told him so. "Don't go out of your way to provoke me, Miss Ryan," he warned, and that was an irresistible challenge. But playing games with Wyatt Burns meant playing by his rules -- and for very high stakes indeed! On September Hill - Leigh Michaels His proposal was far from flattering. Under the circumstances, Carey had no alternative but to accept Brandon Scott's marriage proposal. Otherwise, her younger sister would find herself out of a job and facing criminal charges. Brandon arrogantly admitted that he wanted a wife with poise and intelligence to run his house, host his parties and not fly off in a jealous rage when, occasionally, a rare and interesting woman would catch his fancy. In return, Carey would have all the trappings of wealth -- jewelry, fashions, servants, power--and a husband who was not above blackmail. Conflict in Paradise - Sally Wentworth "We don't want you on Aparoa, Major!" Tansy told him bluntly. "I hate everything you stand for -- war, violence and the belief that you can fight force with force!" Major Blake Aston had come to Aparoa to explore the tiny South Pacific island as a possible refuelling base. Tansy Harland, the local doctor, headed the island's hostile resistance. The Major's warning: "You can't possibly win, Tansy. You'll only get hurt fighting me!" just spurred her on. The outcome was inevitable!
