Bundle Of Trouble - Elle James
Sylvia Michaels had raised her son for four short months before he was cruelly snatched from her arms. Desperate and alone, her investigation led to Texas and the ranch of multi-millionaire, Tate Vincent. But what was supposed to be a joyous reunion was shattered by a hail of gunfire – and an empty cradle. Now both parents were on the hunt for the kidnappers and the child they each claimed as theirs. Tate couldn’t deny that Sylvia fought with a mother’s passion, and Sylvia couldn’t help but notice that the protective man made the perfect father. But would their dreams of a family be shattered before it even began?
The Cowboy’s Double Trouble - Judy Duarte
Braden Rayburn takes his responsibilities seriously. So how’s he supposed to run his newly inherited ranch while being an interim father to his orphaned half-siblings, who don’t speak a word of English? Lucky for him, he just met the beautiful answer to his prayers.
The high-energy twins had Elena Ramirez at ‘hola.’ But being a nanny – even a temporary one – at Braden’s Texas ranch wasn’t on the bilingual Brighton Valley native’s career path, even if her attraction to the kids’ gorgeous guardian is mutual. Elena’s big-city dreams don’t include falling for a footloose cowboy. Or is the Rayburn rancher already the perfect family man?
Texas-Sized Trouble - Barb Han
For as long as the O’Briens have run their ranch, their rivals have been the McCabes. So when Ryder O’Brien returns home, only one thing can screw things up: getting involved with Faith McCabe. There’s no greater temptation and Ryder is about to pay the price for their forbidden fling.
For just as their passion ignites, Faith ups and leaves. Only to return five months later, seeking Ryder’s help finding her missing brother – and pregnant with Ryder’s baby. Ryder O’Brien may have held grudges longer than he ought to, but he always does right by his kin. Especially when the woman about to change his life is in danger.

Judy Duarte
Judy always loved reading romances, but never thought of herself as a writer.
"English was my least favorite subject in school, but I was always a storyteller," she admits. "Growing up, I was the kid in the neighborhood who decided what roles we would play and the pretend situation were in."
As a single mom with four children, Judy returned to school and graduated from the University of California at Irvine with a degree in social ecology. The new direction helped her confidence grow, and when a hero she could believe in came into her real life, she was even more inspired. Determined to do something about her love of writing, Judy joined Romance Writers of America and met her two critique partners. The trio have worked together and encouraged each other ever since.
Judy likes to take ordinary characters and put them in emotionally compelling situations that make them grow. "It takes some of the stubborn and hurting characters a while to learn there is always a way out," Judy maintains, "but when they realize their options, there's no stopping them."
Her unpublished stories won not only the coveted Emily and Orange Rose Awards, but also earned her the status of a double Golden Heart finalist in 2001. Her first book, Cowboy Courage, sold to the Silhouette Special Edition line, where she seems to have found her niche. "I credit a large part of my success to my critique partners, Crystal Green and Sheri WhiteFeather, who also write for Silhouette," she says.
On those days when a stubborn hero and a headstrong heroine claim her undivided attention, she and her family are thankful for fast food, pizza delivery, and video games. When she's not at the keyboard or in a Walter-Mitty-type world, she enjoys traveling, romantic evenings with her personal hero, and playing board games with her kids.
Write to Judy at P.O. Box 498, San Luis Rey, CA 92068.
