The Birch Creek Ranch Books 1-3B. E. Baker
For the first time ever, grab the first three books in this complete, best-selling series as part of a money-saving boxset. . . Two widows, six kiddos, and a will that leaves them a massive cattle ranch, but only if they work it for a year. Abigail and Amanda may have married brothers, but they have almost nothing else in common (and really, they never did get along very well). After their husbands both pass away, they have no reason to interact. Their connection drops to an awkward phone call on birthdays and an exchange of holiday cards. Until an eccentric uncle of their husbands' leaves a massive cattle ranch to the women's minor children. . . if they work the ranch themselves. A ranch that's located near a small town on the border of Wyoming that isn't too keen on outsiders. They're both going to turn the bequest down, clearly. It's not like either of them could properly raise their kids or find love again in a backwater province like Birch Creek. But when things at home change dramatically—for both moms—they decide to give it a try. . . just for the summer. What could possibly go wrong in a mere three months? (Or more importantly... what might go right?) Publisher's Weekly says, "The Bequest [is] an endearing work of women's romantic fiction and the first in the Birch Creek Ranch series. [It] offers a compelling setup as two wildly different women are thrown together in the aftermath of their husbands' deaths. Baker's prose is candid, warm, and allows readers to feel immediately connected to the two protagonists. Baker brings freshness and fun to the story of two 'couldn't be more different' individuals who find they have more in common than they'd anticipated." Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Pamela Kelley said, "B. E. Baker takes you right to the heart of the small town that two widowed sisters-in-law land in very unexpectedly. Can they survive the year they need to spend there to keep it? I really enjoyed reading Bridget's romantic women's fiction debut."

Christmas Revels: Five NovellasMary Jo Putney
Celebrate! I love writing Christmas stories because they include three of my favorite things—tradition, lots of emotion, and a guaranteed happy ending. That's why I'm delighted to reissue this holiday collection which includes four of my classic historical novellas, plus my only contemporary novella. Sunshine for Christmas follows a lonely young aristocrat to Italy for the holidays, where he finds something even more precious than sunshine. (The hero, Lord Randolph Lennox, was a secondary character in my RITA winning novel, The Rake. ) The Christmas Cuckoo features level-headed young Meg who goes to the local coaching inn and comes home with the wrong Jack Howard. And like a true cuckoo in the nest, Jack doesn't want to leave! The Christmas Tart is the tale of Nicole, a young Frenchwoman down on her luck in London, whose stark choice for survival gives her--and her kitten!--a new chance for happiness. The Black Beast of Belleterre is a Beauty and the Beast Victorian tale of a beautiful young artist and the husband who believes he cannot be loved. Of course he's wrong! In A Holiday Fling, a British actress and a Hollywood cameraman team up to film a Christmas show for a good cause. Anything that happens between them will be a strictly temporary holiday fling—or might it be more? What all these tales have in common is two people discovering life's greatest gift, love, at the happiest time of the year. Enjoy! —Mary Jo Putney

No questions asked. But now we're in trouble. The man he thought was an ally isn't, and the deal is falling apart. And Sloane and I are trapped in the house of a man who means to kill us. Both of us. But Sloane Brennan isn't just my father's hostage. She's the girl I grew up with. The one I once thought I'd marry. The girl who runs in my blood like a freaking drug. Johnny Reno thinks he's going to take her away from me. But he has another thing coming. Because I'll kill any other man who tries to lay a hand on her. She might not want protection. But this time, she doesn't have a choice in the matter. Sloane Brennan is mine. And I'm not letting her get away. Sloane Well, that escalated quickly.

Her TargetQuinn Marlowe
MICHAEL I may not be the official Rossi heir, but the family's blood runs in my veins. I've grown up with violence, vendettas, and the importance of loyalty. I do what's best for the family. But I also know how to color outside the lines. Penny Lane isn't supposed to be in this world. She's my best friend's little sister, and we've worked hard to keep her out of the way. Good college. Real job. No mafia. But when things go sideways and she ends up with a target on her back, I have to change directions. I bring her into my office as my new assistant so I can keep an eye on her. It's supposed to be straightforward. It's not. Because I didn't realize how sexy Penny got while I wasn't looking. And I can't seem to keep my hands or thoughts off her. I sure as hell can't stop wanting to keep her after hours and teach that good girl a thing or two about being bad. This was just supposed to be business. But the way my body is reacting to her presence… That's personal. And I like it. PENNY I was never supposed to be here. I've known the Rossi and Brennan families since I was a kid, and I've always known exactly what they did. But my friends have never let me become part of it. I was on a path to a legitimate job with a good company. Until a reporter called me, threatening the family I love. I know what I'm doing. I'm going into the Rossi operation to keep that reporter at bay, and to keep her from sending anyone else. I'm going to protect the family with my own body, if I have to. The problem is, Michael Rossi is my new boss. And my body wants him for entirely different reasons. Dark reasons. Hot reasons. I thought this was a good plan. I was protecting the people I love. Getting involved with my brother's best friend wasn't supposed to happen. But once it starts, I don't know if I can stop it. Her Target is the first book in Penny and Michael's story, and the fourth in the New York Rogues: Rossi series.
