Two's a date. Three's…a family?

When they become guardians of their best friends' orphaned baby, Ryan Garrett and Harper Ross expect disaster. The two can't be more different — she's an uptight career woman and he's a laidback ladies' man. But for little Oliver, they're now mummy and daddy.

For Harper, playing house with the flirtatious Ryan is as difficult as being a mother. Fussy babies elude her but sexy Ryan pursues her!  He reminds her of the night they spent together years ago; she needs to forget it.  All they agree on is their love for the baby. They'll do anything for the little guy. But when their custody is threatened, will they go all the way and marry?

Lukas Garrett didn't know how much he wanted to be a father – or a husband! – until he helped bring Julie Marlowe's little boy into the world. Now mother and child have grabbed hold of his once-guarded heart. But what the sexy vet doesn't realise is that Julie is keeping a secret…a secret that could derail all their hope of a future together.

 Marriage Agreement between Daniel Garrett and Kenna Scott:

•Stay married one year
•Fool the family
•No sex!

To claim his trust fund and launch a new career, Daniel needs to be married...and no one can tick all the "wifely" boxes like Kenna.  And since she's his best friend, the celibacy part should be a piece of (wedding) cake!  Or so Daniel thinks...until he hears the words that make him freeze:  "You may kiss your bride."  One official kiss has the former confirmed bachelor reeling...one unplanned night with his virgin bride has him staggering.  Will it be the end of an era for the two best friends...or will a surprise pregnancy make the two become three...for keeps?

Braden Garrett felt blessed the instant he held his adopted baby girl . Fifteen months later, the widowed CEO feels out of place as the only man at the local library's toddler music class! Until his gaze falls on the librarian. Beautiful Cassie MacKinnon sparks a desire he'd long forgotten...but why can't he convince her to go out with him?

Cassie is still scarred after a disastrous broken engagement. But now, sexy Mr Garrett sparks all sorts of fantasies! Tempting as Braden is, is Cassie only going to be a substitute mummy. Or is the dedicated daddy offering  true love and a family in one package?

Lassoing Santa!

With Christmas right around the corner, grumpy cowboy Bailey Stockton is getting grumpier by the minute, even though he’s wearing a Santa suit. We here at the Gazette think adorable veterinary technician Serena Langley could be the one to rescue Bailey from his holiday funk. Trouble is, they’ve each got more baggage than Kris Kringle lugs on his sleigh. So deck the halls, dear readers, and see if Santa can deliver a happy ending!

Ryder to the Rescue! 

On location for his home–improvement show, "America's Hottest Handyman" Ryder Wallace has his hands full with the station's contest winner. Lauryn Schulte is a single mum with a falling–down house, a failing business and two kids under four–exactly the kind of woman that has this playboy running for the hills…but not this time. Not when her little girl has him playing tea party, building castles and cuddling her baby brother. 

And Lauryn? She torments his libido in ways that should be outlawed. Ryder doesn't do relationships with strings–but Lauryn has him tied up in knots. He's got to cut and run. So why does he keep getting tangled up in the most outrageous idea of all–becoming a husband and a daddy?
