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...

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?

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!

He had a feeling that practice would make perfect...;

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...;

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 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.

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...;.

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?

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.

"I'm not the marrying kind." After being jilted by her longtime boyfriend, Marnie Jones was on the move.

"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.

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.

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...;.

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, 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!
