Wyatt Buckhorn is only a pal. If sharing scorching kisses that leave a woman feeble–brained means they're pals! But that's all the oilman–slash–rancher can be to Natalie Lewis. Five months pregnant and recently jilted, Natalie refuses to trust any man, least of all a man who is the definition of playboy. Throw in that every run–in turns into a fiery encounter, and "just friends" gets complicated. Which is a shame, because Natalie's life is messy enough. Besides, she knows Wyatt's secret – he's sterile, and so enforces a strict kid–free rule. But when circumstances have them caring for a whole clan of Buckhorn youngsters over the holidays, Natalie sees a side of Wyatt that's definitely kid–friendly. Weakening defences, and even weaker knees, have Natalie determined to destroy Wyatt's anti–family policy... before he leaves town for good.

Incorporated in 1887, South St. Paul grew rapidly as the blue-collar counterpart to the bright lights and sophistication of its cosmopolitan neighbors Minneapolis and St. Paul. Its prosperous stockyards and slaughterhouses ranked the city among America's largest meatpacking centers. The proud city fell on hard economic times in the second half of the twentieth century. Broad swaths of empty buildings were razed as an enticement to promised redevelopment programs that never happened. In 1990, South St. Paul began to chart out its own successful path to renewal with a pristine riverfront park, a trail system and a business park where the stockyards once stood. Author and historian Lois A. Glewwe brings the story of the city's revival to life in this history of a remarkable community.
U.S. Marshal Caleb Logue walks into Judge Allie Hayworth’s office to find the woman who wouldn’t marry him—and the son he didn’t know he had. Protecting them is his latest assignment, but Allie soon discovers Caleb’s main priority is getting to know his little boy—and making her agree to his proposal. After all these years, nothing has changed—she refuses to marry a man whose idea of fun is dodging bullets. Not after she lost her own cop father when she was just a girl. Allie would do anything to protect her son from that type of pain. Marrying the marshal is definitely out of the question…but how can Allie refuse, when two identical pairs of green eyes look up at her, wanting her to say yes?
