Luckily for this sleeping beauty, her hero has the recipe for True Love! Briar Rose Jorgenson has always been much more comfortable with her best friend's family than her own. Her mother and grandmother pull her in opposite directions, demanding her attention to "proper" pursuits... when all she wants to do is bake. Well, that and spend time with Everland's newest resident, scrumptious Gordon MacKinnon. Now that Gordon has made a home for himself in the quaint western town of Everland, he's working hard at fulfilling his dream of owning a restaurant. Plagued by memories of a childhood of crime on the streets of Edinburgh and a decade of servitude, Gordon's determined to create something special for his neighbors in Everland. And he knows just the woman he wants to share in his dream: Briar, the sweet temptress who puts the icing on his cake. But when Briar's family starts making decisions about her future, Gordon's dash of despair turns into a heaping spoonful of desperation. It will take an unlikely-almost fairy tale!-solution to make sure that these two have a chance at their succulent Happily Ever After.

Circumstances dictate that Serena Selkirk must choose between two very different men for a husband: her coarsely handsome rancher neighbor, and a sophisticated and urbane Cheyenne schoolteacher. Cam MacLeod and Sebastian Carderock embody opposing aspects of success in Wyoming, but both types of men are necessary for the Territory to become a state. And while Wyoming's future hangs in the balance, so does Serena's. She'll have to decide between pragmatism and her dreams, but only one man will be able to make her truly happy. It will take a Fourth of July showdown for Serena to realize what her heart-and her future-really desires.

She might not have time for love, but fate has other plans... Lady Coira, eldest daughter of mad Laird Oliphant, knows she deserves more than what she has. Oh, not love and marriage-the only man whom she finds attractive is the clan's easy-going and thus infuriating Commander-because she has no interest in a man telling her what to do. Nay, what she wants is responsibility, control of the clan she's overseen for so long. As the Oliphant Commander, Doughall Moray has worked beside Lady Coira for years. He has the utmost respect for her and her abilities, and knows she can do anything she puts her mind to. But the budding friendship between Coira and his daughter Bess is enough to make Doughall wince; it's bad enough he must tamp down his admiration-or more accurately, lust-when he's working with her...but now he has to pretend indifference while she's in his home? But Bess is a lively lass, and when her loving heart lands her in the kind of trouble no father should experience, Doughall is lucky to have an unexpected ally. Can Coira and Doughall put aside their differences to save the lass? When Laird Oliphant falls ill and is officially ready to declare an heir, Coira is going to have to choose between the clan she's always protected and the family she's coming to love. Warning: This one is no less ridiculous than the previous six books! Get ready for the laugh-out-loud conclusion to the Oliphant Sisters' saga, full of fun, silly jokes, and plenty of spicy bits!

Enemies-to-lovers has never been so funny! Lady Nicola Oliphant is her clan's healer...and she needs a break. After years of being at the beck and call of her mother's (mostly imaginary) illnesses-which are getting more and more ridiculous-Nicola jumps at a chance to escape. Even if that means spending a month in a far-off convent full of accident-prone nuns who need her healing skills. But once there, she's met with a patient she can't afford to heal. Ramsay doesn't remember who he is, and it's damned galling. All he knows was that he was delivered to the convent of St. Dorcas the Ever Petulant after being attacked and left for dead. Now the warrior is mostly healed, but his head still aches fiercely whenever he tries to remember the details of the attack...or anything beyond his given name. Nicola recognizes Ramsay McIlvain, but since he has reason to hate her clan, she hesitates to confess his identity. But she's a healer. Can she, in good conscience, hold back the information he needs to mend? And the attraction between them is difficult to deny, what with all the kissing and rubbing being done-all in the name of recovery, of course! When the pair of them set out on a mission to save a helpless bairn, Nicola knows she has to confess the truth. But how will Ramsay react once he's surrounded by his clan-where he belongs? Warning: The medical practices in this story are preposterous...but to be fair, so are a lot of the maladies. Get ready for another hilarious medieval romcom, full of naughty "remedies" and fun!

Forget glass slippers... this time she's wearing cowboy boots!

But she doesn't count on a chance meeting with a handsome shopkeeper... Having lost a leg at Gettysburg, Ian Crowne knows that he's no princely catch. He's got his store and his dogs, so he's satisfied...until the day when an enigmatic stranger captures his imagination and his heart. Now they're both dreaming of each other and wishing on stars, and the celebration is only days away... ************************************************ The Brides of Everland, Ever After Step into Everland, Wyoming, where the people on the street are always more than what they appear, and there's just a hint of magic in the air.

A faded matron and a blinded musician... but which is the Beauty and which is the Beast? Twice-widowed Arabella Mayor has made a place for herself and her son in Everland, selling and lending her beloved books to other bibliophiles in the sweet town. But she's running out of money, and ten-year-old Eddie is giving her fits, and their future is uncertain. Re-marriage might have once been an option, but Arabella knows she's past her prime, and isn't the Beauty she used to be. And as her beauty faded, so did her worth. What does she have left? World-renown violinist Vincenzo Bellini is at ease with his carefully cultivated reputation of a beastly recluse. After all, the fewer people looking at his hideous scars, the better. Ready to retire, he's trying to hide in Everland, but doesn't count on the townsfolk being so curious... especially a particular bookseller who reminds him of the life he abandoned long ago. Can he teach her that worth isn't tied to their appearances, or will he have to abandon his plans for a future here in Everland? ******************************* The Brides of Everland, Ever After Step into Everland, Wyoming, where the people on the street are more than what they appear, and there's just a hint of magic in the air.

Laird Oliphant's sons have no choice but to get married. Without an heir, the laird has gathered his sons--his six illegitimate sons, all born in the same year--and declared whoever presents him with a grandson first, will become the next Highland Laird. Reactions are...mixed. But to Finn Oliphant, this is exactly the news he's been hoping for. You see, Finn has already chosen his future wife: the vivacious and intelligent Fiona MacIan, whom he fell in love with the previous year. He knows she's in love with him as well, so this whole "marriage ultimatum" thing should be easy-peasy. He'll simply invite Fiona to Oliphant Castle to sign all the betrothal contracts and... Bam! Done! They can get on with the baby-making! Except... It's not that Fiona is getting cold feet, exactly. She's fairly certain she loves Finn. Mostly. Well, verra likely, at least. But she's never been the most self-confident woman, especially compared to her sister--her identical twin sister--whom Finn happens to mistake for Fiona upon their arrival at his keep, which is super-awkward all around. The idea of marrying Finn makes her feel all warm and giddy--hopefully that's just lust, not the ague--but how can she be certain he truly wants her, and not just any woman? It's hard enough to be certain of anything on Oliphant land, especially with Finn's mad Aunt Agatha spreading rumors, five potential brothers-in-law offering terrible advice, and a mysterious ghostly drummer keeping the entire keep awake at all hours. And mayhap Finn should've mentioned his identical twin brother as well? That information likely would have saved everyone a lot of headache...and a lot of heartbreak. Finn and Fiona have plenty to learn about themselves, and one another, before they can be certain this marriage is a good idea. But unfortunately, they're running out of time. Dun-dun-duuuuuuuun! Warning...This comedy of errors is not for anyone who can't handle the following: plenty of naughty scenes, more than a few anachronistic jokes, and an embarrassing number of mistaken-identity gags. Only pick up this book if you have a sense of humor. You've been warned.

Six brothers started this mess, and now there's only one man left standing. Kiergan Oliphant considers himself the only sane one in his family; how else to explain why all five of his brothers have fallen in love and gotten married, just because their father made a stupid ultimatum? Sure, the laird declared whichever son married and produced a son first would become his heir...but is that really any reason for a man to give up his freedom?Because if there's one thing Kiergan likes, it's freedom. And women. And those little berry tart things the cook makes. And the freedom to do things to and with women. So...four? Aye, four things he likes. Which is good, because there's not much else he's good at. His brothers all have their talents and responsibilities, while Kiergan has been content to be relegated to the role of rake.

The whispers say he's a demon, but now he owns her... It is vital Lady Georgia Stoughton finds a way to pay her father's debt, but the cursed man who owns it refuses her money. So when she offers herself in repayment, the devil with the body of an angel calls her bluff...and signs the contract. Now she belongs to him, body and soul, until the last hour of December. Lord Edymion, Demon Hayle, wants two things in his life: seclusion, and revenge on the man who scarred him so horribly, making him unfit for Society. The first is going perfectly fine until a brash beauty pushes her way into his life, and before he can kick her out the door, offers the second. Lady Georgia's father is the key to his revenge, but this contract is so much sweeter: the use of Georgia's body, whenever and however he wants her, for the next month. It's going to be a Hayle of a holiday season. Georgia can't regret the arrangement that made her Demon's, not when she has free run of his castle, library, and neglected rose garden. And as she becomes addicted to the pleasure he shows her in the bedroom (and study, and conservatory, and once up against the wall in the linen closet), she begins to doubt her own plans. Then comes the letter with the announcement Demon has just unexpectedly become a duke. Well, blast. Is he ready for London? It's up to Georgia now, but as the end of December looms nearer, Demon's revenge is slipping from his grasp...
