The Marriage Contract

by Susan Alexander

She was willing to gamble everything

After the callous way he'd disowned her mother, the last thing Rosanna Dunham wanted was to deal with her wealthy autocratic grandfather. But she was desperate for money--money that meant saving her mother from certain death.

Her grandfather's terms, though, were outrageous: go to Sicily where he lived, marry the man chosen for her, and give him an heir. She would then be free.

Rosanna agreed, positive she could handle such a marriage... but that belief vanished when she discovered the unpredictable passion of her new husband....

by Diana Palmer

But sweet Tellie Maddox hovered about like a gossamer butterfly, always trying to take care of him, always caring about him. It was enough to make a confirmed bachelor take drastic measures.

Then Tellie lost part of her memory. She believed she was J.B.'s faithful sidekick. Even he couldn't be so heartless as to push Tellie aside, and so he played the role of frienduntil friendship turned to something else, something so much deeper than a heartbreaker like J.B. ever intended. He was hooked.

Then Tellie's memory returned.

by Michelle Reid
Instant bridegroom...

Shaan had been jilted! She'd been left at the altar by Piers Danvers...but Rafe Danvers was waiting to step right into his half brother's shoes. Older, darker, stronger and the head of the Danvers business empire, it was Rafe who had persuaded Piers to abandon Shaan. Now, with the same ruthless determination, Rafe insisted that she become his bride instead.

Dazed, Shaan accepted his proposal, but she was also confused: until this moment, Rafe had acted as if he despised her. Suddenly he wanted to proclaim her to the world as his wife and, behind closed doors, to have her in his bed!
