Lone Star Romance Collection

Don’t miss these three heartfelt tales of small-town romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery’s fan-favorite Lone Star Canyon Series! The Rancher Next Door Her daddy always said the Darbys were dirt... But to young Katie Fitzgerald, the sun rose and set on rugged Jack Darby. Jack was her childhood hero, her secret teen beau. But he hadn't loved her enough to leave their feuding families behind, and blinding heartbreak had led her into another man's arms—and 11 years of loneliness. When Katie returned to the ranch next door, emotions tore through Jack like a Texas twister. Anguish over her teenage betrayal, tenderness for her shy son—and a hunger so deep it hollowed him out. But hadn't over a decade of lonely years taught him he was a fool to love a Fitzgerald? Unexpectedly Expecting! Spirited hairdresser Nora Darby had a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas. Abandoned by her dad and betrayed by her fiancé, she was anti-man, anti-marriage and chatty about it to boot. All of which suited Dr. Stephen Remington to a tee. Though the townsfolk considered him the ideal candidate to scale Nora's defenses and soften her heart, the sexy widower had vowed never to love—and lose—again. But their public battle of the sexes led to a night of surprising, private passion…and an unexpected pregnancy…leaving no-strings Nora and love-shy Stephen staring straight down the shotgun of parenthood and—shudder!—matrimony… Wife In Disguise Josie Fitzgerald Scott was once athletic, ambitious and stubborn as sin—until an accident changed her life. Now she simply sought closure with unforgettable Del Scott—the man she’d once lovingly wed, passionately bedded, then contrarily fled… Shockingly, Del didn’t recognize Josie’s reconstructed contours. Yet her sexy ex-husband seemed oddly, instantly drawn to this soft, delicate "stranger," despite her new appearance. Which gave Josie—as "Rose"—a second chance: to woo and win back Del's fierce passion. But would limping, less than honestly, down memory lane unleash an avalanche of trouble? Or—miraculously—lead Josie home to love?
