BUSY AS A BEE The escaped bees were not her fault…well, okay, so Olivia Ashfield did fall on their hives and they did severely sting a man and a dog, leaving Owen Rancourt without his trusty assistant and his best search-and-rescue dog. The rugged loner wanted revenge! But what was an heiress to a bakery fortune to do—other than to say, “Let him eat cake”? Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option for Olivia. She couldn’t slink back home or she’d lose the bet she’d made with her brother: to fend for herself for eight weeks. So, she had to persuade Owen to hire her as his assistant. The workload was daunting, but her incredibly good-looking boss made small-town Danby just the place to get stung…by love!

She convinces him to take her along, but how can he figure out his life when his new passenger is determined to avoid her own? Together they discover that a road trip of detours can sometimes be the journey home. *** Mild Sexual Content, Mild Language, No Violence ***

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY? Rebellious socialite Ashlyn Spencer craved family love. Failing that, she made high jinks a habit to undermine her clan’s crippling tyranny. Which meant Kane’s Crossing’s new sheriff—gruff, growly Sam Reno—had his hands full with his fiercest foe’s wayward daughter. Although the Fates were against them, virginal Ashlyn relished keeping Sheriff Sam on his toes and secretly ached for the brooding, blue-collar lawman. Despite Ashlyn’s spitfire charm, sweetheart smile and hidden hurts, she was strictly forbidden fruit in Sam’s book. Still, she saucily sidled past his own bitter defenses, melted his jaded heart—even inspired images of making giggling, gurgling babies. But dare Sam forget the sinister crimes committed by the Spencers…and wed his effervescent enemy?

Verity has seen it all and done it all and her life makes Grace's look about as exciting as Songs of Praise. Verity tells Grace that the secret of happiness is to discover her 'heart wish'.
