THE BOY WHO GOT AWAY WAS ALL MAN NOW Once Melissa Richardson had been the most popular girl in school and Charles Avery had been the shy brain with a hopeless crush. Now Melissa was alone, pregnant and in need of a job–and her new employer was Charles Avery! Melissa's shock at seeing Charles again was matched only by her mortification at the attraction he roused in her. Her former admirer had grown into a handsome, successful hunk–and a widowed single dad with three adorable children in need of a nanny. Hiding her feelings for her boss as well as the embarrassing truth about her situation seemed a wise professional move. But could she resist Charles's charm and three disarming kids who didn't want a nanny, but a mommy?

THE sparks which flew ignited more than their tempers! At the age of five and twenty, Miss Felicity Bell was set in her ways and could think of no cause to change them. But Jamieson Denham, Earl of Hastings, disagreed, and only offered to help locate her runaway sister after eliciting a promise from Felicity that she would in no case try to manage or inconvenience him. He had not taken into account that Felicity would bow to no man's wishes, but she had been equally fair and far out to suppose he would let her go scot-free!

SHE was determined to rescue him at any cost! Miss Georgiana Lacy cared not a whit for the avaricious manoeuvrings of her socially-conscious mother. To discover that she had unwittingly sprung her mother's trap put her sadly out of curl. The catch was to be Anthony Braithwaite, Lord Sarre, hitherto known only to Georgiana as "Tony," the mysterious gentleman she had encountered in the woods. His easy manner and gentle teasing had instantly won her approval as well as a devotion George was hard put to understand. At Lord Sarre's invitation, the Lacys re-moved to the seashore, where Georgiana was to learn there was much more to friendship than she had imagined. When the unscrupulous designs of her matchmaking mama threatened to ruin everything, Georgiana rushed to the rescue with a shocking revelation that turned the household upside down!

She had not wished to stay Now she had no wish to leave Miss Angela Fairfax had not wished to visit Castlerigg Abbey. Nor had she wanted to meet Sydney St. James, Marquess of Brynne, famous for his Town tricks and adventures. The design was to bring off a match between them, but the focus of her visit sharply changed when a foundling was discovered or the Abbey doorstep. As she and Lord Brynne worked together to unravel the mystery surrounding the babe, Angela was to discover the marquess was not so bad as he was painted. While Sydney was to discover that angels truly made the most heavenly houseguests!

BACHELOR SURPRISE Upon learning a casual fling had resulted in a bundle of joy, Greg Chandler felt compelled to go under cover and find the kid - just to make sure it was well cared for. But that was before he saw Mikelle Bennet, the sexy widow who had adopted 'Jamie.' before he'd held his son in his arms. Before his fatherly fate was sealed...

Once upon a time... They called him the "Perfume Prince" but Philip Fairchild had never exactly seen himself as a storybook hero. But that was before he tracked down the three winners of the "most fragrant rose" contest and met their beautiful goddaughter, Aurora McBride. One look at Rorie's beautiful lips told Philip that he'd give his kingdom for a kiss--even if it meant trying to pass the three tests laid out by her godmothers. After all, if he succeeded, he'd be granted knowledge of the secret to their garden ... and maybe even the hand of the prickly princess. Once Upon a Kiss: Could they live happily ever after?
