The
Baby Gamble
by Tara Taylor Quinn
October 2007
Lose some, win some…
Annie Kincaid has never held the right cards, not when it comes to love. Twice
married, twice divorced, she’s given up on finding her soul mate –
though not on having a family. So Annie’s decided to have a baby. On her
own.
But her brother, Cole, thinks that’s a huge gamble, and she can’t
disagree. At the very least, he tells her, she should go for a known quantity
and ask his old friend and best poker buddy, Blake, to be the dad.
Blake’s certainly a known quantity, all right.
He’s Annie’s first husband…
Betting
on Santa
by Debra Salonen
November 2007
The odds are always against her…
But this time Tessa Jamison isn’t leaving River bluff, Texas, until she
finds what she came for: the father of her sister’s two-year-old son. And
the stand-in Santa at the local church bazaar could be the man she’s looking
for.
Cole Lawry seems an unlikely candidate for instant daddy. What’s more,
the divorced ex-businessman and consummate poker player insists he’s not
a father – never has been, never plans to be. Until Tessa calls his bluff.
Which means gambling everything she’s got. Including her heart.
Going
for Broke
by Linda Style
December 2007
After taking the rap for a crime he didn't commit, Jake Chandler swore he'd
seen the last of his unforgiving Texas hometown. Until family business brings
him back…face-to-face with his past in River Bluff. Face-to-face with Rachel
Diamonte.
Not only did Rachel break his heart, she was the lone witness whose so-called
evidence fifteen years earlier had branded him a "barn burner."
And now the former homecoming queen—a single mother who needs help—has
the nerve to ask him for a job. It could be Jake's chance to make her pay for
what she did.… So why does he find himself compelled to protect her and
her little girl?
Deal
Me In
by Cynthia Thomason
January 2007
If he discovers the truth, all bets are off…
When Brady Carrick bets he can turn Molly Davis into a cardsharp, the former
football star has no idea the widowed mother has a grudge against him. That accepting
Brady’s challenge is a way for Molly to start a new life – and get
revenge against Brady for destroying her old one.
All she has to do is keep her real identity from Brady until she earns a seat
at the big poker tournament. That, and steel her heart against him. Because the
closer they get, the harder it is to believe this serious, protective cowboy is
the man who killed her husband.

can't risk Luke discovering the truth about the child she's kept from him all
these years.
Becky isn't the only one keeping secrets. A shocking revelation about his own
family is about to test Luke in ways he never imagined-as a father and a son...
