Destiny, Texas

THE COMEBACK KID. When she was a lovestruck teenager, Taylor Stevens bared her soul to Mitch Rafferty. But instead of sweeping her into his arms, the tortured rebel with the bad-boy blue eyes told her she kissed like a little girl. Mortified, Taylor shoved Mitch into the pool...cowboy boots and all! Now the tables were turned and-holy smoke!-Mitch couldn't believe his eyes. From scrawny kid to stunning woman, Taylor had sure grown up...and Mitch was itchin' to kiss her again. But the contrary cowgirl swore she'd been crazy for ever lovin' him. Would this lonesome drifter stick around Destiny, Texas, long enough to prove her wrong?

She swept back into Destiny, Texas, no longer plain, awkward Hannah Morgan, but now sophisticated Dr. Morgan! Then one look from Dev Hart sent her right back into a teenage swoon. A definite problem since for the next several weeks they'd be living on the same ranch. Hannah's combination of smarts and sweetness took Dev's breath away. And yet what he needed was someone to help him care for his little boy, not a city girl who would turn him inside out. Unless he could convince her that where she truly belonged wasn't the big city, but on the ranch, with him.

A decade ago, good girl Maggie Benson took a walk on the wild side with brooding bad boy Jack Riley. They'd generated enough chemistry to blow Destiny, Texas, to kingdom come. But an army-bound Jack had disappeared after a night of passion, leaving Maggie with more than just memories…Then Jack blew back into town. But he was the one left shell-shocked. Not only did the spirited single mom still make him ache in all the right places, but she also revealed a life-altering secret. Would a fearless Jack take on the most daunting mission of all- claiming his family?

He had a secret--and it was a doozy! Sheriff Grady O'Connor's twins--the girls he loved more than anything--were actually fathered by Jensen Stevens's late husband. And now their uncle wanted to claim them for their legacy. Well, not while Grady was in charge! So Grady went to lovely Jen and asked her...to be his lawyer! Surely her sharp wits and agile mind would figure a way out of this predicament. But Grady hadn't counted on sitting by Jensen day after day, smelling her perfume, looking into her eyes... And soon the stalwart sheriff was wondering what else might happen behind closed doors...
