With a career and a relationship in ruins, Jubalee Hamilton is left reeling from a fast fall to the bottom.  The run-down Texas farm she inherited is a far cry from the second chance she hoped for, but it and its abrasive foreman are all she's got. Every time Charley Collins has let a woman get close, he's been burned.  So Lone Heart ranch and the contrary woman who owns it are merely a means to an end, until Jubalee tempts him to take another risk -- to stop resisting the attraction drawing them together despite all his hard-learned logic. Desperation is all young Thatcher Jones knows.  When he leads an injured Steeldust horse to a ramshackle ranch, he needs help.  A horse-stealing ring is on his trail and the sheriff suspects him... and his only protection is the shelter of a man and woman who -- just like him -- need someone to trust. Where family bonds are made and broken, and where young love sparks as old flames grow dim, Ransom Canyon is ready to welcome -- and shelter -- those who need it.

Time Travel from 10th century to present-day Maine He was six feet, four of pure, unadulterated male.  He wore nothing but a leather tunic, spoke an ancient tongue, and he was standing in Professor Meredith Foster's living room.  The medieval historian told herself he was part of a practical joke, but with his wide gold belt, callused hands, and the rabbit roasting in her fireplace, the brawny stranger seemed so... authentic.   Suddenly Meredith was mesmerized by his bronzed, muscular, form and her body surrendered to the fantasy that Geirolf Ericsson really was a Viking from a thousand years ago, sent only to pleasure her.  But as she tried to teach him to eat spaghetti and use a computer, she realized he knew an awful lot about the tenth century -- and so little about the twentieth.  And as he helped her fulfill her grandfather's dream of re-creating a Viking ship, he awakened her to dreams of her own.  Until she wondered if the hand of fate had thrust her into the loving arms of...
