Bravo Family Ties

But though old feelings were igniting new emotions, Hunter couldn't forget what had driven them apart. Jobeth was a hometown girl. He was a wanderer. Maybe it would take his long-avoided return for Hunter to realize that everything he'd ever wanted was right here at home...

True love might be patient...but how long is too long? Ethan Bravo had been in love with Matilda Hunt since...well, since before she was Matilda Hunt, actually. Because he and Gabe Hunt had been best friends since high school. So Matty was off-limits to Ethan. Even now, after Matty has been a widow for three years, he considers her forbidden fruit. It was easy when she lived in LA, but now Matty's moved home for good. And instead of betraying his best friend's memory and revealing his heart, Ethan settled for being her confidant. Except Matty is pregnant with the child from her now ex-boyfriend—a man who wants nothing to do with Matty or the baby. So, Ethan is stepping up, becoming the one man Matty can trust. Sharing his true feelings now would shatter that trust. And Ethan can't risk losing Matty—again. He can be the one man she deserves, even if keeping his secret could break his heart.

All Gabe Bravo wanted was to convince Mary Hofstetter to sell him her land. But the young widow had barely told him to hightail it off her property before going into labor. Being an honorable Bravo bachelor, he stayed by her side, even after her little bundle of joy appeared. There was no denying Gabe had declared himself permanently single-;and proud of it. But with his feelings for Mary growing deeper, he was suddenly torn: walk away from mother and child, or do what he'd sworn he'd never do-;get hitched!

Luke Bravo was stunned when Mercy Cabrera showed up in the middle of the night to treat his prize stud. The exotic girl he remembered had matured into a skilled vet-;and a sultry, passionate woman he knew he should steer clear of at all costs. Luke was a Bravo-;reason enough to keep her distance. But Mercy had loved the rugged rancher since she was sixteen. And when their simmering attraction led to a night of intense passion, she knew she'd risk everything for a future together...;.

What brought him to her door...; ...;Marcus Reid couldn't say. But then Hayley Bravo opened her door, and he got a good look at her burgeoning stomach! She appeared to be about eight months along. So was this proof that she'd gotten over him fast...; or that they were connected, now and forever? Months ago Hayley had walked out on Marcus, even though it was the hardest thing she'd ever done. Because though she knew he'd do the right thing by her, she was holding out for the real thing. Love. Baby. Marriage. And apparently, in that order...;

Rumor had it that Lori Lee Billingworth's son was the result of a one-night stand. Little did attorney Tucker Bravo know that he was the man involved. For Lori Lee and her twin sister had traded places on prom night, and nobody--but Lori--knew that she had her dream night with the boy she'd loved forever.... Tucker knew he had feelings for his long-ago girlfriend's twin, and he adored her son. But once he learned the unbelievable--that the boy was his--his world came to a crashing halt. He was full of resentment for the trickery that made him a father, yet felt overwhelming love for the innocent child caught in this charade. But not for the woman who tricked him. Because that would be inconceivable...wouldn't it?

"I'm not the marrying kind." After being jilted by her longtime boyfriend, Marnie Jones was on the move. But from the moment she rolled into Texas and clashed with sexy rebel Jericho Bravo, she was finding all sorts of reasons to stay put. Too bad the rugged loner couldn't say the same…. Or could he? Because Jericho was making Marnie believe in second chances-that he was the man she wanted to settle down with…forever. Was the proud, wary loner willing to risk his heart? Because he already owned hers….

"I want you. Name your price." Cleopatra Bliss had learned long ago to stay away from driven, powerful men like Fletcher Bravo. So when the handsome CEO of one of Las Vegas's most successful gaming resorts made her an irresistible proposal, she knew she was in trouble. Fletcher envisioned great possibilities for Cleo's day-care center--including a special place for his little girl. But his desire for the stubbornly independent Cleo was rocking his world...until he decided marriage--with all the fringe benefits and none of the obligations--would suit him just fine. And then he looked at his wife's burgeoning belly and realized he wasn't the only one keeping secrets....

Well, the wedding of Angie Dellazola and Brett Bravo may have seemed hasty. But in fact they'd known each other all their lives-and, as each of them was the self-appointed sole sane member of their respective families, what better way to ensure that they stay that way than to get married? Their marriage would be based on respect and common interests-none of that burning, all-consuming love that their family members seemed prone to...;. And then, one week into their marriage, it hit both of them like a ton of bricks. Angie and Brett were wildly, madly, passionately in love-with each other! This was not the calm, collected marriage they'd counted on. Well, the best-laid plans...;

"Tate Bravo...I'm pregnant..." Mayor Molly O'Dare had sworn she would never end up like her granny or her mother before her: pregnant and unmarried. Yet here she was expecting Tate Bravo's baby. The very man who thought her town was his town.... Now, not only was Tate proposing marriage, he was "demanding" she marry him--again...and again...and again. The secret passion they shared drew them together; his constant proposals were tearing them apart.... Until, with the help of Molly's meddling mother, Tate had a plan. So would Molly be an immovable object--or would Tate indeed be Marrying Molly before the baby was born?

There must be fifty ways to say I'm pregnant! So why couldn't Starr Bravo think of at least one? Maybe because though she'd been in love with rancher Beau Tisdale since she was sixteen, they'd agreed that this "summer of love" was just that. That when September rolled around, they'd go their separate ways--she to her glamorous job in New York City, he back to ranch life. But now--too late--she knew that the life she wanted was right here, with Beau and their unborn child. And she needed to get the words out--Beau, I'm pregnant--before their baby did it for her! So why couldn't she just tell him? Maybe because there were three words she was longing to hear from him first?

Travis Bravo was sick of his meddling mother and her matchmaking ways. So what better way to stop her than to bring a fiancée home for the holidays? One catch-;he wasn't even dating anyone. But that was where his rough-and-tumble oil-rig friend, Samantha Jaworski, came in. An unpolished tomboy, Sam was game for anything for a good friend. But after her girlfriend-ready makeover, she fell easily into the role of Travis's loving partner-;and into his arms. Would she be standing under his mistletoe...;for keeps?

Well, timing never had been his strong suit...; And the fact that Bowie Bravo walked in the door, after seven years away, just when Glory Rossi was about to go into labor with another man's child certainly proved the point. Because the last time Glory had seen Bowie was when she was delivering his child-;a little boy who'd never known his real father. But according to Bowie, that was about to change. Bowie was now a respectable businessman, and he was more than ready to be a father-;to both of Glory's children. He was also ready to be a husband to the woman he'd never been able to live without. And when he saw that their feelings for each other still burned bright, he didn't see any reason why he'd have to...;.

Crystal Cerise's secret affair with her best friend's brother was supposed to be just that. An affair. And a secret. So her world turned upside down the instant she discovered she was pregnant. Yes, she'd always been half in love with Tanner Bravo. But now she was having his baby! Private Investigator Tanner Bravo took his responsibilities-;and the mind-numbing chemistry he felt with Crystal-;very seriously. And he had a serious proposal: let's try a "practice" marriage. He had a feeling that practice would make perfect...;

Both times, it was a fall that nearly did him in...; The first time, it was a tumble down a mountain that threatened Donovan McRae's very survival. And though he had once been the Man Who Had Everything, at that point he thought he had nothing left to lose. Until Abilene Bravo walked into his life-;and he realized he was wrong. Because though he thought he'd lost his heart years ago, he found himself losing it again as he fell fast...;for the feisty woman who wouldn't take no for an answer.

Well, if lightning didn't strike twice, then how could a night of passion with her former lover, Matt Bravo, leave Connie Lonnigan pregnant with his child…for the second time? They already had a beautiful little girl, and they'd finally come to terms with their can't-live-with-can't-live-without-each-other relationship. And now this! Texas tycoon Matt Bravo had let Connie slip through his fingers five years ago, and he was not about to make the same mistake again. He had to convince her that he was the man for her, now and forever. To make this a Christmas to remember-for all four of them…

When Charlene Cooper was eighteen, she turned to Brand Bravo in desperation...;and hecouldn't get away fast enough. And then tenyears later, Charlene was forced to turn to himagain-;this time with a baby in her arms and aburning question in her heart: are you this littlegirl's father? At twenty Brand Bravo knew that he could never be the kind of man Charlene deserved. At thirty, he knew she was the love of his life, and he would do anything to get her back.Because, once again, she needed him, for herself and for the infant in her care. And thistime, Brand wouldn't hesitate to be anythingCharlene asked him to be. Husband. And father?

"Sex is absolutely off the table." So this was Dax Girard's hiring policy. Well, it might not be conventional-;but then again, all admin-assist-wannabe Zoe Bravo wanted was a job. And her prospective boss, Dax Girard, was so gorgeous that he'd clearly had to beat them off with a stick before. So she calmly agreed to the mogul's terms-;even throwing in a fake fiancé for good measure! A strictly hands-off policy was fine with her...;. But was it fine with him? Because the more no-strings-attached Dax swore he was as immune to Zoe as he was to your average beautiful woman, the more he started envisioning a future that had her in it. And, in nine months, a little someone else, as well.
