Call Me Mom
ISBN:  0-373-70628-6
Harlequin Superromance ~ December 1994

ABBY DRAKE:  Being an instant mother was hard enough.  But she'd certainly never planned to live in Pine Cove, Washington, a town so small, it didn't even appear on the map.  She'd never expected to live in hiding, either, or to tell so many lies.  But she'd do anything to keep her niece and nephew safe.  Even if that meant pretending to be married--and losing her own chance at love...

KURT MORGAN.  Being a single father with a nine-year-old son was hard enough.  He didn't need any more complications.  Like falling in love with the woman he knew as Abby Harris.  Mrs. Abby Harris.  A woman who told a lot of lies. A woman who had something to hide...

This Montana Home 
ISBN: 0-373-70692-8
Harlequin Superromance ~ April 1996

Clint Andrews has come to Broken Bow, Montana--to his uncle's ranch--on doctor's orders.  A stressful career, an ugly divorce and a family--three kids he adores but isn't sure he knows how to parent--have taken their toll. Now, and for the next few months, he's traded his suit and tie for jeans and cowboy boots, he's spending time with his children, and he's helping out on a neighboring farm, because that's what people do in places like this.

Gail Wheeler's father's illness has brought her home to the family ranch, and she's grateful Clint is giving her parents a hnd.  But she's having a hard time fighting her other feelings about him--feelings that have nothing to do with gratitude.  Because, although she loves having his kids round--especially four-year-old Megan, Gail knows she can never be a stepmother again.

Keeping Her Safe 
ISBN:  0-373-70744-4
Harlequin Superromance ~ June 1997

When DJ Woodward learned her father was alive, despite the fact that her mother always told her otherwise, she was fuming!  It didn't occur to her that her mother had been trying to protect her for thirty years.  After all, what was so threatening about a long-lost father?  But why was DJ so reluctant to tell her own four-year-old daughter she had a grandfather?

Adam McAllister was fuming, too.  Why hadn't DJ's mother told her the truth about Larry Galloway?  Didn't she realize she was putting DJ and her daughter at risk?  His hands were tied by his job--as DJ's bodyguard.  Worse, he was beginning to care less about the job than he did about the woman herself.

If he couldn't tell DJ the truth--and she deserved no less--how could he ever keep her safe?
