Soren ruined all her plans

Lin Blake had a special mission in coming to work on the Wingard family farm in New Zealand. But for personal reasons that mission had to remain a secret.

She hadn't counted, however, on meeting someone like Soren Wingard. He both frightened and attracted her, and he was suspicious of her from the start.

Lin accomplished her mission--but at what a cost. Only heartbreak could come from her falling in love with Soren....

"I would just like to make it quite clear," Simon smiled grimly, "that I am not running a charity. I expect to be fully rewarded for what I do, and don't you forget it, my dear Liza." His words rang in Liza's ears. This man was devious. Her eyes sparkled with angry resentment but she couldn't afford to indulge in hurt pride. For the time being, Simon must be allowed to think what he would.

Miranda was delighted when her boss asked her to accompany him on a business cruise to the Caribbean, even though she knew the whole purpose of the trip was a large take-over bid and that there would be as much work as play.

But when it came to sweet-talking one Roger Gallant, she realized she had taken on more than she could manage. Roger was clearly in the habit of taking what he wanted and then throwing it away -- and it did look as if Miranda was going to be his latest victim!

"You're trying to frighten me, Dion."

Martha's voice was uneven, trying to conceal the fact that he was succeeding. She'd been tricked into this confrontation with her husband, and his proposal amazed her.

After five years apart, she was being virtually forced to rejoin her wealthy Greek husband as his wife. Along with their small daughter, Josy.

Martha realized her feelings for Dion were as deep as ever. But how could she once again cope with Dion's strong passionate nature if getting their child back was his only reason for wanting her?

You could run, but you couldn't hide...

Linsey had fled four years earlier, after she'd caught her husband in the arms of another woman. So their son Sean had been born without Jarvis Parradine's knowing anything about him.

There was another secret she had to keep, too--the fact that she loved Jarvis now more than ever.

She discovered love was the best career

Joanna had had to support herself after her parents' death, and she worked hard to establish her reputation in the Parisian cabaret world.

Joanna found that families were a mixed blessing, and that Charles was everything she ever wanted in a man!

Perri had come here to Coorain, in the Dead Heart of Australia's Outback, to work. She was here with her uncle's anthropological team to study the customs and legends of the aborigines -- not to teeter on the brink of disaster with a man like Gray Faulkner, the cattle baron and Boss of Coorain.

For disaster it would be, Perri knew. Certainly there was no denying that she had fallen in love with him, more or less on sight; to some extent, she knew, Gray was attracted by her. But it was no use pretending that it amounted to anything more than a passing physical attraction. Perri didn't fit into the Outback way of life at all.

If and when Gray wanted a wife, he would surely choose Kim Talbot, who was so clearly being groomed for the position . .
