Crossing Nevada by Jeannie Watt
After the attack that ended her modeling career, Tess O'Neil only wants to feel safe. She thought she found a sanctuary on a Nevada ranch where she can live in solitude. Too bad rancher Zach Nolan isn't getting the message. The single dad wants to lease her land, and he won't quit until she says yes. That means he's always around!
Letting the cowboy with the see–right–through–her baby blues into her life is too dangerous. Almost as dangerous as the wild hope and yearning Zach and his three daughters are awakening in Tess. She's already risked so much. Maybe it's time to take the biggest gamble of all on the one thing she never dreamed she'd find – a home.
Wish Upon A Christmas Star by Darlene Gardner
The odds are about a thousand to one. But after eleven years, P.I. Maria DiMarco jumps at the chance that her brother might still be alive. And when she makes a wish on a rare pre–Christmas shooting star, well, it could be a sign. Logan Collier doesn't think so. Not that Maria should put her trust – or hope – in her ex–love, who long ago left her heart in pieces.
Yet here Logan is in Key West, helping Maria chase down leads and, like her, trying – and failing – to ignore the attraction heating up between them. Even if her search takes her nowhere, Maria isn't giving up. Not on finding her brother...or on a second chance with Logan.
