Love's more comfortable the second time around. Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground . . . Winds of Destiny - Sitting alone in a bar on her fortieth birthday wasn't something Katherine Armand had ever planned. With her marriage over, better to pay attention to her career. A big-shot developer was flying into her sleepy, coastal fishing village to discuss building a resort. Katherine was a top-notch negotiator for her law firm. Anderson was eager for the land. This should be as smooth as sailing gentle Gulf waters. Except Anderson sent his top man to broker the deal . . . and Katherine hadn't planned on having to bargain with Michael Whitfield, the man who had broken her heart fifteen years ago, ever again. Lizzie's Laces - Two years ago, Lizzie Rawlston left her home in Boston for Liverpool, determined to start a new life and forget all about Tony Sinclair, the handsome packet captain who had once been her best friend-and with whom she had the misfortune of falling in love. However, Tony had made it clear he wanted only one thing in life: the sea. He didn't want to be bothered with a family, or worse, a wife. Now, with Lizzie's father sick, possibly dying, Tony has appeared to bring Lizzie home. As they race against time to get Lizzie home before her father passes away, Tony and Lizzie rediscover the magic they've always shared. But when a storm blows up, threatening the ship and all of their lives, Tony will have to confront his greatest fear. Can he love Lizzie and still love the sea? Does being the fastest also have to mean being alone? The Spirit of Love - A tragic accident leaves Brynna and Travis devastated. Instead of turning to each other for comfort, they drift apart.

Will Travis and Brynna confront the spirit of love, allowing them a chance to heal and find their way back to each other? The Garden Swing - Tess Murphy loves hearing stories from her elderly patient, Emmeline. When the woman dies, she leaves a dilapidated Victorian house that may be more trouble than it's worth. But when Tess tries out an old, unique swing in the garden, she hurtles back in time, and to the arms of the house's handsome owner, Hugh MacAllister. She faces the hardest choice of her life: to return to her own time, or to stay and become a part of history. Only and Always You - Ten years ago, two hearts were broken. Will Viscount Seton and Lady Claire be able to set aside their hurt and betrayal to have a second chance at love with each other? Special of the Day - Nick Delatorre's college sweetheart who dumped him years ago is back in town. Trouble is, she's opened a restaurant next door to his and is stealing all his customers.

The last thing that Gillian Metcalf remembers before she passes out is being aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, where she witnessed a dog disappearing as if it were a phantom.  Now she's aboard the riverboat, Ida Belle, traveling down the muddy Mississippi.  It is 1870, where men carry guns and throw knives. It is a time where reputations mean everything.   Before she can determine how she's miraculously stepped from one world into another, she is being forced to marry Zachary Creighton. Trouble follows the man and it looks like she's along for the ride.   As she attempts to understand why she was sent back to 1870, she struggles to come to terms with her own desires that tempt her to surrender to a man she barely knows.         Zachary Creighton, a gambler with one goal: to win back Creighton Manor.  Marriage was not part of this plan.  To keep peace with his reluctant bride, he makes a bargain with her.  He needs someone to tutor his nephew Tyler, and she needs a roof over her head until they can annul their sham of a marriage.        Never did he expect his bride to be embraced into the family fold by his grandmother, Lotti. However, the biggest surprise of all is that he finds himself falling for her charms.             When the reason for Gillian's appearance into Zachary's world is finally revealed, their love for each other will be tested. Gillian will have to make a difficult decision before she can find happiness. The stakes are high, but Zachary will risk it all to win Gillian's heart.                                Creighton Manor    Review: I found this to be an interesting and imaginative story, well written and researched for the time and setting. The characters were fleshed and believable. The metaphysical, mystery and romance angles of this story are well conceived; an enjoyable read.  Bob Medak, All Books Reviews
