McCabe Multiples

HER GAME, HIS RULES Is Clint McCulloch really thinking of bulldozing one hundred acres of prime blackberries? Not if Rose McCabe has her way! The enterprising single mother's plan will benefit the rodeo-champion-turned-rancher and her natural-food co-op. Too bad the sexy six-foot-four Texan is more stubborn-and devastatingly attractive-than when they were kids growing up in Laramie. Clint just wants to restore his family ranch to its former glory, but the sassy entrepreneur can be awfully persuasive. Their mutual attraction is an added incentive. Until Rose lays down the ground rules: a no-strings affair because she's never, ever marrying again. Only now Clint wants the whole shebang-a future where he can be daddy to Rose's adorable preschool triplets and husband to his Lone Star cowgirl!

PRACTICE MADE PERFECT Suddenly finding herself a foster parent definitely shakes things up for Doctor Violet McCabe. Especially because her attractive and pragmatic colleague, Doctor Gavin Monroe, is baby Ava's co-guardian. Gavin has doubts about the arrangement, but idealistic Violet is certain they can work together to find Ava the perfect adoptive family. Gavin secretly crushed on Violet for years, but after losing her fiancé, Violet's heart was impenetrable. Ava changes everything. For once, Violet is ready to embrace the unpredictable…maybe even love. But is Gavin the right man for Violet-and the right father for Ava? In their search for a perfect home for Ava, will Violet and Gavin miss that the best family for her is the one they've already created?

A TEXAS CHRISTMAS… FAMILY STYLE! Callie McCabe-Grimes has one thing on her holiday wish list: to make this the best Christmas ever for her little boy. Without including Nash Echols, whose team of lumberjack cowboys is creating a Texas-size racket at the Christmas tree farm next door! But she has no defense against two determined males when her son decides Nash is the extra-special present he wants from Santa. Just the sight of the beautiful widow who bought the sprawling spread east of his puts Nash in the yuletide spirit. Callie and the toddler in the tyke-size cowboy hat fill his head with visions of the three of them together under one roof. That is, if Callie can let go of her past and picture a future with her one and only Lone Star cowboy!

COMPROMISE…OR ALL-OR-NOTHING? The heart-stopping attraction's still there, but today Lily needs only one thing from old flame Gannon Montgomery-the best damn legal counsel ever. The stakes are high-custody of Lily's son, Lucas. And the rules are clear. Lily's not giving Gannon the chance to break her heart again. They can be friends. That's all. Not enough, thinks Gannon. He's only in town to sell the family ranch, but Mayor Lily McCabe makes sticking around seem pretty attractive. He can see the desire in her eyes every time they're thrown together. And with the court case and the Texas chili cook-off he's been dragged into, that's a lot. As the stress grows, so does the attraction. But Lily won't compromise, and Gannon can't let go. Someone's gotta give!

BEST FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS For two people who aren't in love-and don't plan to be-Poppy McCabe and Air Force Captain Trace Caulder have pretty amazing chemistry.

For two people who prize their independence above all else, a pre-Christmas wedding with all the trimmings could be a major game changer. Suddenly, Trace wants to be there for Poppy 24/7. Except he's stationed overseas. So he only has a thirty-day leave to convince the woman who shares his complicated past that they can have it all: family and forever!
