chance at love...
Annabelle Langley is all wrong for Ben
Jackson. Ben's an ambitious district attorney with plans to move up in
the political arena. Annabelle's messy past--or at least the past she
believes is hers--will not be helpful to him.
But Ben loves Annabelle--it's the first time
he's felt this way since his fiancee's death many years ago. And he's
determined to prove Annabelle's innocence, even though he knows opening thi
old case will almost certainly destroy his career. But when it seems
that the deeper he delves into her secrets, the more damning the evidence
against her appears, Ben has second thoughts.
Should he stop? Let her go? Or
keep fighting for the happiness they both want?

whether it is tears at a needless death, giggles at the puppy that steals

Ride a Painted Pony
Someone close to Nick Kendall has
betrayed his trust, and Nick can't go to the police. What he needs is an
experienced private investigator.
Taylor Hunt is "experienced," all right. For two years
she's answered telephones, run papers to the local courthouse and
occasionally tricked insurance cheats into showing they could still mow the
lawn and shoot pool. More than anything she'd like to solve this case on her
own-- even if it kills her. And it just might.
But not if her new client has his way. Nick is determined
to keep his detective safe in his arms. Even if it means losing everything
else... including his reputation.
Carolyn McSparren delivers all the ingredients for good reading: unique
story elements, tantalizing suspense, an engaging subplot and a myriad of
well-written characters. -- Renae Dryer, Romantic Times

If Wishes Were Horses
The child's wish: A pony of her own.
For her twelfth birthday--just as her father had promised years ago.
The father's wish: A safe and happy life for his daughter.
That's all Mike Whitten's ever wanted. And that means keeping her away
from Liz Matthews and her 'germ-filled' camp for young horse lovers. It also
means breaking his promise--a promise made in haste--at a time when Mike
would have done anything to bring a smile to his child's face.
The woman's wish: That Mike would stop treating his daughter as though
she were made of glass. And--if Liz Matthews could sneak in a second wish--that he would start
looking at Liz as more than just his daughter's riding teacher.
"A wonderful romance. Strong. Emotional. Superb. A real
page-turner." --Patricia
