Yes—she couldn't deny it—she still wanted him. But it could never be as it had been before. A few short years ago Stacie Smythe had been his student at the university. Awed by his brilliance, overwhelmed by her own desire, she had become his wife. She had married him...then left him to make a life of her own. Now a professional photographer with a New York magazine, she had been assigned to Phoenix to do an article on Gray Pierce's archaeological work, forced to face the man who was still her husband. Once she had sat at his feet, now she was determined to stand on her own. And yet everything within her longed for his searing kiss, for the warm haven of his arms. Could she ever again be his wife?
At twenty-six Lorelei Lawrence had achieved her dream. She had won the coveted seat of second violinist with the Chicago Philharmonic. But could she ever hope to win Peter Sutherland's approval—and love? Her success, her transformation from a shy, shrinking violet to stunning beauty only served to alienate the handsome young concertmaster more—until the day he suddenly kissed her! As the European tour swept them from one glamorous capital to the next, Peter's bursts of passion, his abrupt withdrawals and angry accusations, tore at her bewildered heart. How long would they play beautiful music together in secret discord?
Whidbey, the lovely little island in Puget Sound, was a small world that could be quickly filled with cruel gossip or haunting memories. Yet Ginger Cowan had stayed on long after Deuin MacPherson had married her, confessed on their wedding night he'd been unfaithful, and left for Chicago. She'd gone away to college, come back to open an antique shop and to make a good life for herself, now it seemed only her family's bitterness over the "betrayal" remained, naggingly reminding her that Devin had come back to Seattle...that at any minute he might walk back into her life. Had she really forgiven him? Had she really forgotten? What would she do if he were to reappear, take her in his arms...ask her to trade the hurt and humiliation of yesterday for the joy and promise of tomorrow?

She was a true peach. Former Miss Georgia, first runner-up in the Miss America Pageant, Dale Chastain had parlayed her looks, talent, and brains into an education and the job of her dreams—movie reviewer for WNBS-TV Chicago. And he was Sloane Avery, the brilliant critic whose daily column she read avidly, who?e work she revered. But the man himself was another matter. He managed to insult her in private, then attacked her in print. Little did Dale realize that behind the sharp-tongued, cynical, unkempt critic lurked a shy, lonely man in love, a man who would patiently transform himself from frog to prince for her sake. From the Windy City to an embattled English movie set and back, he would astonish her with his tender passion, amaze her with his newfound "style!'But could he really accept that she was beautiful and brainy? If she returned his love, could he believe she really cared?
Baja California is no place for a woman alone," said the arrogant stranger. Mark Chavira was too handsome by far. And far too self-assured. But Joey Scott pointedly ignored his disturbing stare and set out for La Paz, Mexico. All too soon she would be forced to accept the shelter—and protection—of the very same man who had warned her about notorious, deserted Highway 1. Joey was afraid of Mark, but she was more afraid of herself. Was he uncomfortably close to the truth when he suggested that without him—without love—the very life of the beautiful young accountant would be on the losing side of the ledger?
Meteorologist and college professor Jake is far too busy with his research for romance. So his father, worried for Jake’s future, decides to play matchmaker for him. Jasper makes a deal with a young waitress named Cheri, promising that if she stays married to Jake for a year while living on a private island with him, he’ll give her one million dollars. Dumbfounded as to why his father is so fond of Cheri, Jake resolves to expose her for the wolf in sheep’s clothing that she really is!
