Matched in Montana

Ride horseback through dangerous Montana high country with infuriating AJ Clayburn as her guide? Fine…if that would help reporter Jacquelyn Rousseau get her story and prove to the rugged rodeo champ she was anything but an uppity debutante! A few close calls later, the heat blazing in AJ's eyes looked less like ire and a lot more like passion. Still, a match between a cantankerous cowboy and a prim Southern belle? As likely as snow in August. Until a late-summer blizzard gearing up to strand AJ and Jacquelyn in the mountains had them thinking about today, tomorrow…and forever.

ONE OF THE GO0D GUYS? Dark, dangerous and nursing a bullet wound, Quinn Loudon didn't look like an assistant U. S. attorney - nor did he act like one. In fact, he'd kidnapped Constance Adams at gunpoint. Yet instead of fearing for her life, she found herself falling under his spell. Fresh from Washington, D. C., Quinn had fast learned things were different here in the Wild West. Now a fugitive from the very law he'd sworn to uphold, he knew he had to clear his name - and convince this woman to share it before his time ran out... .

Whoa! New nurse Rebecca O'Reilly had Dr. John Saville's thoughts straying into uncharted territory. This female wildcat had obviously been wounded by romance-she protected her frayed heart with a sharp tongue. John suspected her saucy defiance also guarded a secret innocence-and a wanton longing to know true womanhood. John could take no chances with Rebecca's emotions-an invitation to sensual fulfillment required an iron-clad commitment. Would the handsome M. D. resist the ultimate temptation and preserve his bachelorhood-or fold under the weight of his desire and claim Rebecca as his woman now... and forever?

Roughing it in the Montana wilderness with an all-female mountain group seemed the perfect way to heal music teacher Joanna Lofton's broken heart. But the camp's matchmaker had other ideas. And so did elite smoke jumper Nick Kramer, who was setting off enough sparks to ignite a wildfire in Jo. Nick liked a woman who didn't back down from danger-or desire. Jo was fast making this confirmed loner yearn to keep those home fires burning. But could Nick convince this marriage-shy charmer that "once burned" didn't have to mean "twice shy"?

With his take-charge attitude and penetrating gaze, cowboy Bruce Everett spelled "Danger" from his Stetson to his boots, and Melynda Clay had sworn off men for good. She'd come to his dude ranch for a little rest and relaxation, and giving in to Bruce's masterful seduction wasn't on the itinerary! Never had anyone unraveled Bruce's restraint and roused his desire like Lyndie. Though the tempestuous city girl denied the powerful attraction between them, Bruce was determined to possess her, body and soul. Perhaps a night of passion would unlock Lyndie's chained heart and make this woman his-and his alone...

Seth Morgan was sophisticated, sensual, sinfully wealthy…and completely out of Kirsten Meadows's reach. Although the powerful playboy tycoon took her breath away, Kirsten didn't mix business with pleasure, so Seth was off-limits to his personal assistant. One look at beguiling beauty Kirsten, and Seth knew he wanted to be more than just her boss. Was it her resistance to his charms that kept him captive, or was it the urge to take her to his bed? All he knew was, he always got what he wanted...and he wouldn't rest until Kirsten surrendered to him-one sizzling kiss at a time!
