COUGAR'S WOMAN 6/1999 ISBN: 0843945249 Melissa Sheffield was trapped in a nightmare. On the journey to meet her fiancé in Santa Fe, she was captured by Apaches and given to a man known as Cougar. At first, she was relieved to learn that she'd been given to a white man, but with one kiss he proved himself more dangerous than the whole tribe. Terrified of her savage captor and frantic to return to civilization, she pledged to escape at any price. But while there might be an escape from the Apaches, was there any escape from her heart? Clay Brodie - known as Cougar to the Apaches he'd run wild with since boyhood - suddenly found his loyalty in question. Given the fiery Melissa by his chief, he was ordered to turn the beauty into an obedient slave - or destroy her. But how could she slay a woman who evoked an emotion deeper than he'd ever known? And when the time came to fight, would it be for his tribe or for his woman?

DESERT BLOOM 12/2001 ISBN: 084394949430 For Lilla Traften, the Texas Panhandle was nothing but hot cactus and dirt, its inhabitants worse. Every cowpuncher and soiled dove she met needed a good scrubbing - and some lessons in manners. Grady Finch, too. The rugged foreman of the WC Ranch might be devastatingly handsome, but he was tactless. Worse, the heat was getting to her; sunstroke was making her dream of Grady's hands upon her, of the sweaty love they might make in the dust. Hardly normal thoughts for a proper miss and charm-school teacher! Still, she couldn't help wondering what would win the heart of a man like Grady. She'd have to prove she could survive on her own. She'd have to show she wasn't the prissy snob he thought. He'd have to see that not the land could undergo transformation, but that Lilla, too, could flower in the desert.

IN TROUBLE'S ARMS 5/2000 ISBN: 0843947160 When Loreen Matland spoke to her brother, she was very clear: If the man who answered her ad for a husband were ugly as a mud fence, she'd keep him. If not, she'd fill his hide full of buckshot and send him packing. No matter how badly she needed him. Unfortunately, Jake Winslow was handsome. Lori had learned long before that good-looking men were trouble, and Jake proved no exception. Of course, she hadn't been entirely honest with him, either. She had difficulties enough to make his flight from he law seem like a ride through the prairie. But the Texas Matlands didn't give up, even to dangerous men with whisky-smooth voices and dark-fringed blue eyes. Even if their kisses could make a gal go weak in the knees. And yet, in Jake's warm strong arms, Lori knew he was just what she needed - for her farm, her family and her heart.

PRICKLY PEAR 11/1999 ISBN: 0843946245 Daddy's little girl was no angel. And she was bad news with a lariat. Heck, she hadn't earned the nickname Prickly Pear by being a wallflower. Everyone on the Circle C knew that Camile Cordell could rope her way out of Hell itself - and most of the town thought the willful beauty would end up there sooner or later. Now, Cam knew that her father was looking for a new foreman for their ranch - and the blond firebrand was pretty sure she knew where to find one. Wade Langtry had just arrived in Texas, but he seemed darn sure of himself in trying to take a job that was hers. Cam had to admit, though, that he had what it took to wrestle cows and break stallions. In her braver moments, she even imagined what it might feel like to have the roughrider break her to the saddle - or she him. Still, the virile stranger was untamable, much as she herself was. And she feared that in the days to follow, it wouldn't much matter if she lost her father's ranch - she'd already lost her heart.

WALK INTO THE FLAME 6/2003 ISBN: 0843951192 Abandoned by her father, Rachel Brodie was adopted and raised by the Mescalero Indians. Silent Wind she was called; and the smoldering eyes of Swift Buck-her handsome adoptive brother-urged her to drop all pretense of being White, to walk into the flame of desire, to accept her destiny. Unable to let go of her past, Rachel fled. When she returned, five years had passed. The U.S. government had been mistreating, herding and destroying the Mescaleros, and Rachel had come prepared to fight. She wasn’t prepared to see Swift Buck again. She’d heard he’d been killed, but here he was-his eyes filled with distrust. And he wasted no time in using her as a hostage against the Federal soldiers. Yet wasn’t this abduction just what she’d yearned for? It was a chance to prove that no matter the color of her skin, she would always be one of The People. Now, if Swift Buck asked, she would not only walk into the fire, she would let it consume her.

Before long she had nearly forgotten what she'd come for, as Sam's brash, breathless embrace drove from her mind all thought of anything save wanting him..

REBEL'S TREASURE 1/2002 ISBN: 0821768395 Now that her domineering mother is dead, there's nothing to keep Tess Montgomery from taking possession of an unexpected inheritance—a small ranch and an abandoned mine just outside Tucson, Arizona. Then Tess discovers her co-beneficiary is Zachary McClain, a Confederate soldier she protected from imprisonment ten years earlier. But their reunion is far from warm as Zach no longer resembles the gentle Virginian Tess once knew. For some reason she cannot fathom, this man detests the very sight of her. More troublesome, the very sight of Zach fills Tess with passionate longing. For almost ten years, Zach McClain has nursed his hatred of Tess Montgomery until it resembles a festering wound. Now, in order to sell the property left to them, Zach must declare an armed truce with the woman he believes betrayed him to Union forces. The effort is driving him mad, especially as his loathing competes with an even stronger desire for the slim, chestnut-haired beauty. The truth of what really happened all those years ago could set their love free—if Tess's reckless sacrifice doesn't destroy their last chance at happiness.
