ELEMENTARY MATH

Amanda - Ryan = Disaster
Amanda + cyan = Success
Amanda + Ryan + Daddy Factor = Both?

Amanda Thorne was minus one husband--one she needed, since all her pals thought she already had one. Ryan West was plus one wife--one he didn't need but had--at least on his bank records. That nonexistent wife's signature was essential for Ryan to put through a big deal. So Amanda plus Ryan--a weekend in exchange for a signature--could only equal success for them both, right?

Well, yes, but that was without the Daddy Factor.

Daddy by Chance

Seven years ago, a masked and spellbinding stranger at a costume party swept Tara Blayne away for a night of dreamlike passion. Her son, Harry, was the very real result.

Tara was starting to think Harry's dad was even more mysterious than she'd thought. But every time she'd tried to find his house, the streets seemed to rearrange themselves and signs pointed to different directions. Now a stranger had come into her life again.... Chance Powers, a man who had an oddly familiar effect on Tara...almost like a...spell.

Jenna is downright frantic, clutching a ransom note demanding a cool million in exchange for her daughter's safety. Their daughter's, actually. Yes, she knows how it looks asking Buck for help. But it's true. The child is theirs and Buck's the only one who can wrench her out of danger.

Even if that means trading himself for a girl he's never known.

Fear Familiar:
Join the coolest feline detective to ever take on mystery, mayhem and matchmaking.

Once upon a time

scandal rocked a Southern town. When Mobile's favorite son was accused of kidnapping, reporter James Tenet scooped the story of a lifetime. But he'd only scratched the surface -- even the scent of gardenias couldn't disguise the reek of deceit that hung in the humid air.

Only one angry female stood in his way. As the accused's friend, Jennifer Barkley was James's only link to the truth behind the ugly rumors. And while he adored the furious flash of her eyes, James knew he had to -- wanted to -- kiss and make up.

Maybe Jennifer's feline friend, Familiar, was his way to her heart... and the rest of the story. But there were two things James couldn't understand -- cats... and women.
