Leigh Greenwood - Violet

HEALING HEART

Broken and bitter, Jefferson Randolph could never forget all he had lost in the War Between The States -- or forgive those he had fought. Long after most of his six brothers had found wedded bliss, the former Rebel soldier kept himself buried in work, only dreaming of one day marrying a true daughter of the South. then a run-in with a Yankee schoolteacher taught him that he had a lot to learn about passion.

Violet Goodwin was too refined and genteel for an ornery bachelor like Jeff. Yet before he knew it, his disdain for Violet was blossoming into desire. But Jeff feared that love alone wasn't enough to help him put his past behind him -- or to convince a proper lady that she could find happiness as the newest bride in the rowdy Randolph clan.

Leigh Greenwood - Lily

THE GAMBLING MAN
The way Zac Randolph saw it, he was the luckiest man on earth. The handsome devil even owned his own Little Corner of Heaven, the best saloon in California. And with every temptress on the Barbary Coast yearning to take him to paradise, he certainly had no plans to be trapped by the so-called wedded bliss that had already claimed his six brothers. Then an enchanting angel came into his life, and Zac had to fight harder than ever to escape the bonds of matrimony.

THE LUCKY LADY
Refusing to bet her future happiness on an arranged marriage, Lily Sterling fled from her old Virginia home to the streets of San Francisco. Trusting and naive, she vowed to help the needy, and despite Zac Randolph's wealth, she considered him the neediest man in town. When the scoundrel refused Lily's kindness, she took the biggest gamble of her life. And if she won, she'd become the last -- and luckiest -- of the Randolph brides.

Leigh Greenwood - Jake

THE COWBOYS
The freedom of the range, the bawling of the longhorns, the lonesome night watch beneath a vast, starry sky -- they got into a man's blood until he knew there was nothing better than the life of a cowboy...except the love of a good woman.

ISABELLE
Born and bred in Savannah, Georgia, she was the kind of woman Jake Maxwell avoided at all cost. "Neat as a pin and stiff as starch," he classified her when she and her wagonload of orphans pulled up to his Texas ranch. But without any men of his own, the boys under her care were Jake's only chance of driving his beeves to market. Still, he couldn't help wondering if he could teach a gang of outlaws-in-the-making to herd cattle ... if he could keep his hands off the oh-so-proper belle ... if there was any way at all to stop Isabelle from branding his heart as her own.

Leigh Greenwood - Ward

The freedom of the range, the bawling of the longhorns, the lonesome night watch beneath a vast, starry sky--they get into a man's blood until he knew there was nothing better than the life of a cowboy ... except the love of a good woman.

MARINA
Devastated by a ruthless betrayal, disillusioned by the War Between the States, Ward Dillon swore he'd escape his bitter past and start anew ... even if he had to abandon his heart's desire. So the San Antonio doctor traded his medical practice for the rugged life of the open trail, refined society for the company of rough-and-ready cowpokes. Yet what hope, what harmony, what hint of happiness could be his without the woman he'd left behind, the beauty who haunted his dreams? And when Marina tracked Ward down on the windswept Texas plains, how could he resist the burning brand of passion that had once brought them searing ecstasy and promised the only peace possible for his embattled heart?

Leigh Greenwood - Buck

HANNAH: Golden-haired and blue-eyed, she was lovely enough to make any man forget the past. Any man except Buck Hobson. For though she had more than fulfilled the promise of beauty in the fourteen-year-old girl he'd once known, Buck would always remember that back then he had been her father's whipping boy, helpless and abused. Well, he was helpless no longer, and now he would have his revenge by taking the old man's ranch and making it his own. The only thing he hadn't counted on was falling in love with Hannah, whose gentle sweetness could heal his battered heart if only he would only let her.
