Fortune's Children

Someone was stalking million-dollar cover girl Allie Fortune-and ex-mercenary Rafe Stone had been hired to protect her. To keep her safe, he spirited Allie away to a secluded spot, telling himself to just do his job and not be seduced by her beauty. But Rafe soon discovered that guarding Allie was far more dangerous than he'd anticipated. Because it wasn't solely his existence that was threatened. No, this tempting creature threatened his heart and soul…and once this assignment was over, he knew his life would never be the same.

Every time Adam Fortune gazed at his children, he knew they desperately needed motherly love. So he hired pretty Laura Beaumont as their live-in nanny and thought his prayers were answered. But Adam soon sensed that something was troubling the young woman, because in her eyes he saw secret fears…and unanswered questions. And he knew that no matter how deeply she cherished the children-or loved him-they would have to overcome the past so they could someday be a happy family…

The man had come to Jane Fortune from out of nowhere. He couldn't explain who he was, but Jane's young son could. The little boy insisted Zach was his imaginary daddy come to life, the father he'd always wanted. And even Jane couldn't deny that he was oddly familiar-and the husband she'd always dreamed of. Yet the clock was ticking on the family they'd formed, because Jane had discovered exactly who Zach was. And only a twist of time could keep him home. …

What other disaster could befall Natalie Fortune? Her long-awaited-vacation had been waylaid, her "new life" postponed. Now she was marooned with a broken leg, a St. Bernard-and a way-too-sexy neighbor. Eric Dalton had made her an offer she couldn't refuse. But was letting the gorgeous bachelor and his sweet little boy into her life Mistake No. 999, or the new beginning she'd been waiting for?

He'd always been an outsider. And Grant McClure liked it that way. Stepson to the Fortunes, he'd made his own destiny without the family's riches-or their love. But now the rugged loner had found someone who needed him. Meredith Brady's life was on the line, and Grant's ranch was her only refuge. But she found herself in even greater danger when she fell for a man whose gruff exterior could not conceal a passion too long denied…

He'd finally gotten his revenge. Tough loner Max Cooper had been given the perfect opportunity to put his high-and mighty partner, Kristina Fortune, in her place. The pampered princess had lost her memory and was depending on Max to fill in the gaps. While Max's head told him to make Kristina his personal slave, his heart had him questioning his motives. Was the brooding bachelor punishing Kristina for his overwhelming attraction…or denying himself a honeymoon to remember?

All she wanted was a baby. And if that meant falling into bed with rugged P. I. Gabriel Devereaux, then Rebecca Fortune would swallow her pride and seduce her nemesis. She knew he would soon be gone from her life, so her secret would be safe. But then the eternally single Rebecca was shocked to realize her passion for Gabriel had gone beyond pretense. Would the father of her child ever feel the same way…especially with the lie between them?
