Love Is The Greatest Adventure

In a collection of three very different, charming stories about mothers, daughters, and heroes, matchmaking children come up with the perfect men for their mothers.

Love Is The Greatest Adventure It was the trip of a lifetime and hairstylist Ginna Walker was going to take full advantage. She'd forget all her worries back home and concentrate only on the sun, the sand...and her whirlwind romance with Zachary Stone, a man so gorgeous, Ginna had to keep pinching herself to be sure she wasn't dreaming. And yet, even after two whole weeks spent in each other's arms, Ginna sensed Zach had secrets he was not yet ready to share. Secrets that could seriously change the nature of their relationship. Well, Ginna was sure that whatever they were, she could handle them. Famous last words...

Parenting a teenager was trouble enough, but when the teenager turned matchmaker, it added up to hormone overload. Chelsea Brennan was satisfied with her life as a single mom. Her days were spent in Hot Stuff, her shop of classy lingerie, and her nights ... well, she liked sitcoms. Only the summer separated Chelsea's seventeen-year-old daughter from a college far from home. Three short months to set her mom up with Mr. Right. Enter Mark Harrison--via the back door at midnight. When he showed up on the doorstep with teen Colleen, Chelsea nearly blew a gasket. Of course this hunk was too old for her daughter, but was he the man for Mom?

HUMBUG! Libby Barnes wished Christmas would go away along with her husband, Tyler. But would Santa answer a wish from Willow Hills, Indiana, population 400? Suddenly darkness fell, snow whirled and Libby could barely find her way home. But strangers answered her bell and elsewhere family hung stockings without her. Then she saw Tyler under the mistletoe with another woman! How could Libby make them believe who she was, and get her life and her husband back in time for Christmas?

Nancy goes to a master telepath to try to locate her kidnapped friend.

"Will you be the father of my baby?" Jake Roberts was everything Caitlin O'Hara wanted in her baby's father—he was fun, witty and gorgeous. They'd shared every intimate detail of their lives since kindergarten. Why not a baby? Because friends didn't cross that line. No. Caitlin had to find an anonymous donor. But then, late one evening, overwhelmed by the magic of the moment, Jake gave her the night she had wanted ever since forever…and unknown to him, he also gave her the baby. But how was she going to tell him he was going to be a daddy?

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS... Quinn knew she had to get away-from family, friends and a would-be fiance. She sought lodging in the mountains...but was sidetracked by a blizzard and a dose of destiny. MY TRUE GAVE TO ME... Santee knew it wasn't a start that drew him east that Christmas-he only knew it led him to Quinn...and a room at the quaint Mistletoe Inn. ONE GOLDEN RING There was something magical about the sleepy little town that kept holiday cheer all year round. Something wonderful, but odd... Quinn and Santee glowed with goodwill toward men-and each other. And this year, their only request from Santa was an answer: Was the magic as real as the feelings they fought?

Shock, trauma, heart attack, accidents, and disasters, the Yellowjacket volunteers know what to do. Rescues and emergencies are their job, even if they are only teenagers.

The sleepy little town in the California desert was supposed to be a sanctuary for Detective Bree Fitzpatrick—a place of refuge from the big-city crime that had left her a widow with three children to raise. But something was wrong, terribly wrong, in Warm Springs. Nothing could have prepared even a hardened police officer like her for the dark mystery of this place—a mystery that had cost far too many people their lives. And nothing could have prepared her for Cole Becker, the devastingly handsome newspaper reporter who was determined to help her uncover the truth—and show a grieving woman that she could have a second chance at love....

Three years ago, Nora Summers and Mark Walker had been sweethearts, but circumstances had driven them apart. Nora wasn't ready to risk her heart again with a man as footloose and charming as Mark. Two... Yet now Nora had indulged in a night of wild passion with him. An unforgettable night together that had left both of them stunned. But it was only a one-night stand...right? One... Could she actually be falling for Mark all over again? Could her commitment-phobic lover consider settling down? Nora hoped this was the case, because their steamy night together had not only left her yearning and hungry... It had left her pregnant!
