Having shared the same home as the Anasazi, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, the \"unsinkable\" Molly Brown, \"Doc\" Holliday, and Geronimo, Anne Marie feels preserving the Southwest's history is just as important as preserving the land and its wildlife. She started her writing career with her first sale to Harlequin in 1988, and is now a regular Superromance writer. A member of the local San Diego, California, chapter of Romance Writers of America and founding/past president and member of Florida's First Coast Romance Writers, Anne Marie also belongs to the Science Fiction Writers of America. Anne Marie is also a proud union member of the Writers Guild of America because of her sale of a Star Trek story to Paramount TV Studios. At home and hearth in Southern California, Anne Marie enjoys deep-sea boating and fishing with her retired U.S. Navy husband, being a Disneyland junkie with her high-school-student daughter and college-age son, and keeping her daughter's cat away from her four dogs - three of which have appeared in her books. (See her web site for a list of her novels that feature her pets!) Presently she continues work on her jewelry art degree, her science fiction, and screenplays.

Can the past be undone?

Twins like Eric Kincaide and his sister, Naomi, know each other's every thought. But that closeness came between him and Lindsey Nelson, the woman he'd planned to marry, four years ago. When their wedding plans fell through, Lindsey ran as far and fast as she could.

Now Eric heads a small team of winter rangers in Yosemite, a team that includes his twin sister. They're looking for a kidnapped child hidden somewhere in these snowy mountains. When one of his rangers dies in an avalanche, he needs a replacement, someone who specialises in handling search–and–rescue dogs. That someone is Lindsey Nelson.

The hunt for a missing child brings her back to snowbound Yosemite, back to a place she wanted to forget. Back to a man she can't forget and the twin she can't forgive.","rating":"3.70","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":11858,"isbn13":"9781460855751","title":"The Replacement","seo":"the-replacement","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460855751.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"
COUNT ON A COP

In Florida's Everglades, Carson Ward is the law.

As a ranger, he's sworn to protect the land. But Carson's taken a private oath, too that he will track down the poachers who killed his father.

Alisha Jamison is a well–known wildlife photographer. This assignment in the Everglades will be her last the poachers who attacked her have seen to that.

Carson and Alisha team up to search for poachers and find strength in their partnership of two. They're alike in their independence, their willingness to take risks; they're also alike in their capacity for deep love and for passion.

Danger in the Everglades brings them together. Will it also tear them apart?","rating":"3.46","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":12239,"isbn13":"9781460860090","title":"Her Own Ranger","seo":"her-own-ranger","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460860090.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"
Karinne's been engaged to Max for two years, but everything conspires to keep them from actually getting married! His job as a guide in the Grand Canyon. Her job as a Pheonix–based sports photographer. Her family's troubled past. And now, making matters even more complicated, Karinne has reason to believe that her mother – long presumed dead – might be alive.

Karinne and Max are spending a week in the Grand Canyon on a rafting trip. It's supposed to be a pre–wedding vacation, a chance to enjoy some time together, have an adventure...but it could be a little too much adventure. Especially when Karinne's mother, Margot, shows up – with a shocking request. It's another thing that comes between Max and Karinne. They love each other, but that might not be enough for this reluctant bride to walk down the aisle...","rating":"3.25","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2013-05-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2013-05-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":1173,"isbn13":"9781460898970","title":"The Reluctant Bride","seo":"the-reluctant-bride","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460898970.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"
Home on the Ranch

By the author of She Caught the Sheriff

The Silver Dollar Ranch, near Tombstone, Arizona

Morgan Bodine takes pride in two things: being a rancher and being a lawman. He's part owner of the Silver Dollar Ranch; he's also Tombstone's acting sheriff.

Jasentha Cliffwalker is proud of her Apache heritage. And she's proud of her work as a biologist. Jaz is living on Bodine land; in fact, she grew up on the Bodine ranch, where her father still works. Jasentha, who's become something of a recluse for reasons she won't discuss, has devoted her life to studying and protecting the bats that live in the Silver Dollar's caves.

Years ago Morgan and Jasentha were in love but it was a love they weren't ready for. Are they ready now?

They'll find out when a stranger comes to Tombstone, threatening everything they value most .

\"Anne Marie Duquette's romantic thrillers are truly thrilling, full of exciting action and suspense.\"

A Father Lost

Nina Delacruz, age ten, refuses to believe that her father's never coming back. Even though her mother, Mercedes, says it's the truth. Even though, in her heart of hearts, Nina knows it's the truth.

April Montgomery, age eleven, hasn't got a mother, and now she's withdrawing from her father, too. April's been keeping a secret from her dad, Cass, one she knows will hurt him deeply. If she tells him, maybe he won't love her anymore….

A Father Found

The Delacruz and Montgomery families are brought together by a dog–a dog they both claim. When they take their dispute to court, the judge orders them to spend their time in each other's homes so the dog can choose. This turns out to be the best thing that could possibly have happened. Because now, with Mercedes's help, Cass will become the father both girls need. And the lover, friend and husband Mercedes needs.

The Silver Dollar Ranch, near Tombstone, Arizona

Rancher Wyatt Earp Bodine is a third–generation rancher here and he's also the local sheriff. But he's never had a case like this before!

Someone's left a skeleton in Boot Hill, Tombstone's famous graveyard. An old skeleton. The person who happens to find it is forensic investigator Caro Hartlan which seems more than a coincidence. Needless to say, she offers to help the handsome sheriff figure out who done it and why.

Their search uncovers a trail of betrayal and deceit, a trail that leads them to an old crime buried deep in Tombstone's past. A trail that leads to kisses as well as clues and to love as well as lies.
