Diamond in the Rough / Falling for Mr. Dark & Dangerous

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH John Callister and his brother had built a ranching empire in Montana.They’d made their fortune—and they’d made Callister a household name. But now John wants something he can call his own. So he starts over—without the Callister name—vowing to polish a run-down spread in the small, sleepy town of Hollister into a jewel. But the jewel he uncovers isn’t a ranch. Sassy Peale is pretty and shy with far too much responsibility on her small shoulders. She has nothing of value—except her trust, her faith and her love, all of which she offers, without reservation, to him. As John Callister, he could easily give Sassy and her little family a better life. But Sassy knows him only as a simple ranch foreman. How can he tell her that he can give her all she ever wanted, and in the same breath admit that everything she knows about him is a lie? FALLING FOR MR. DARK AND DANGEROUS Tidy. Sensible. Safe. That's how Maggie Taylor wants things. Until she opens the door of her tiny mountain hotel to a tall, dark and very dangerous stranger. Nate Griffith offers a world of pleasure in his strong arms. But the lawman isn't looking for a peaceful retreat--he has a job to do. It scares Maggie that Nate puts himself in the line of fire every day, and so she tries her hardest to resist him. But even a heart as closed off as Maggie's can't stay immune for long....
