Jared: The Pirate Katherine Inskip's life is at a complete standstill. She's overworked, stressed out and feeling blas#65533; about love -- a bad state for the author of historical romances to find herself in. A vacation is what she needs! But on a beautiful South Seas island, Kate finds a whole lot more than she'd bargained for. Jared Hawthorne, owner of the island resort and resident swashbuckler, could have stepped off the pages of one of her books. He's her perfect fantasy -- charming, adventurous and dashing -- and more than willing to play the part. But could Jared have too much in common with his pirate ancestors? Gideon: The Adventurer When romance writer Sarah Fleetwood hired an ex-adventurer to help her locate an old family heirloom she fully intended to live out her secret fantasy. And Gideon Trace was it. Dark, mysterious, dangerously appealing, he personified the heroes she'd dreamed and written about. But the real man was much harder to figure out. Sharing a cabin in the mountains with Gideon didn't help. Sarah had to unveil his shadowy past before she could fulfil her quest for the long-buried treasure -- and the perfect mate. Only then could reality match fiction... Rafe: The Cowboy Margaret Lark knew all about cowboys in pin-striped suits: they were the heroes in her books. She'd never admit to fantasising about that type of man -- much less acknowledge that she'd walked out on one. And Rafe Cassidy -- with all the powerful grit of a true cowboy -- is fantasy material. He's just not her fantasy anymore! But one year after their explosive breakup, Rafe is shooting for a different ending to their story. And as ruthless and determined as a gunslinger, he's not above blackmail to get Margaret out to his Arizona ranch. For the final showdown.
