Summary

Split apart by a Texas family rivalry, two Lone Star lovers get a second chance in the USA Today–bestselling author’s sexy contemporary romance. 
 
Only the worthiest of causes could woo expert fundraiser Drea MacDonald back to Boone Springs to work with the Mason Boone. Growing up, the sexy Texas rancher had stolen her schoolgirl heart, and his wealthy family had stolen her legacy. But making sure that the new state-of-the-art cardiac wing of the town hospital gets the financial support it needs means Drea has to swallow her pride and join forces with her still-irresistible nemesis. 
 
Soon history is repeating itself, though now Mason sees Drea in a whole new light—for the beautiful woman she is. Drea can’t help melting in the heat of his gaze. But for the chance at a new beginning, she’ll have to risk repeating a past heartbreak.

    Three romances in one from the USA Today–bestselling author of The Reluctant Highlander, filled with the rebellious passion of Scotland’s restless border.   Set on the turbulent border between Scotland and England in the sixteenth century, these meticulously researched novels offer enthralling love stories set against a backdrop of historical conflict.   In Border Bride, Mary Kate MacPherson, a proud Highland beauty wages a battle against arrogant borderer Sir Adam Douglas. Borderer men may consider their wives possessions, but Mary Kate intends to show the seductive knave her father promised her to that a Highland lass is no man’s furniture.   In Border Fire, highwayman Rabbie Redcloak has caused nothing but trouble for the English with his raiding and fighting. But when he’s captured, Janet Graham is determined to prevent the hanging of the silver-tongued Rabbie before Truce Day. And her decision has nothing to do with the way her body heats just at the thought of him . . .   And in Border Storm, Lady Laurie Halliot, the rebellious daughter of a Scottish march warden, knows what marriage is about: money, power, and little else. When her runaway sister is accused of murdering an English soldier, however, Laurie offers herself as a hostage until the accused is found. And to preserve Laurie’s reputation while in captivity, she agrees to a handfast wedding to the devastatingly handsome, yet equally reluctant, groom, Sir Hugh Graham.
