This big, bad bounty hunter can handle anything. Or can he?

Cade Stone can’t believe Sunny Templeton. How did one sexy woman manage to get into so much trouble? Okay, so maybe she tried to take out a politician with her car. Who wouldn’t do the same thing? But now it’s landed her in jail, and the local media is out for blood. He’s got to help her. That’s just the kind of guy he is...

Sunny thought being in the slammer was bad…until she’s bailed out by tall, dark and dangerous Cade Stone. The bounty hunter has starred in her nightly fantasies for weeks—and now he’s offering to take her home? He might call ‘protective custody’. But for Sunny, it’s an invitation to see if this bad man is as good as she thinks he is….

Big, Bad Bounty Hunters-
There’s nothing like being held in the long arms of the law!

Caution: princess in the pit!

Maddie Felton used to be a credit-card-flashing daddy's girl. But that was so three years ago. Now the heiress is ready to make her mark on her family's motel chain empire. Problem is, she's never had a job. Any job. That is, until daddy puts her in charge of his latest venture - NASCAR sponsorship.

Driving rookie Tucker Macray knows NASCAR is an opportunity of a lifetime...but does it have to come with a spoiled rich girl sponsor running his show? Say this. Do that. It's not as if she knows an iota about the sport or even pretends to enjoy it.

But would she actually sabotage Tucker's rookie season to get out of her job?


“… a delightful story, in no small part because the main characters are flawed … a refreshing change from the perfect cookie-cutter characters found in some stories.”

Talk about powerful attraction!


E.R. physician Kate Wexford is used to expecting the unexpected. But even she isn't ready for this.... One minute she's visiting her local museum, lusting after a man in a painting -- Darach MacTavish, Laird of Glenagan. A man who died at Culloden more than 250 years ago. Then the next thing she knows, she's in the painting with him...in his bed...NAKED!

Laird Darach MacTavish has enough to worry about without being ambushed by beautiful women. Still, he has to admit, he's never met -- or enjoyed more -- a lass like his Katie. It's too bad she's a little daft. Because Katie's insisting she's been sent back in time to save his life. Ha! Darach would like to see her try -- that is, if he decides to let her out of bed....

“ A funny, romantic and sexy romp of a time travel. The characters are wonderful, and the twist and humor strong.”
