Feeling like a pet owner
boarding out beloved Fido, Jon parked his Jag in the lot near the
ferryboat landing. He wished he had the portable dust cover he’d
been meaning to buy for just such car emergencies.
After he locked
the door, he patted its gray, simonized fender lovingly and walked
away, laptop in hand. He refused to look back when a rusty, red Jeep
spun into the parking lot kicking up enough dust to choke a herd of
elephants, let alone one mere Jaguar. His muscles flinched beneath
the shoulder strap of his leather overnight bag.
Tension had built
on Interstate 95 with the steady stream of weekend traffic. It looked
like more stress ahead as he strode toward the boat’s rickety boarding
ramp. A few cars, apparently headed for other island ports that
allowed autos, rattled onboard the double-decked, paint-chipped ferry.
He took a seat on
the warped wooden bench of the superior deck, well away from the
couple with the paper sack intent on feeding the squawking seagulls.
None too soon, the
ferryboat pilot blew a whistle, the gulls screamed, and the last boat
for Rose Island steered away from the landing with all the speed of a
last place racehorse. Jon let out a long breath, suspicious of the
boat staying afloat any longer than he could.
Once underway, two
things lifted his spirits. An ocean breeze cut through the midday sun
and heat. And a blonde, portside.
Standing at the
rail, wisps of hair escaping a lone braid trickling down her
statuesque neck, stood the woman of his dreams. His dreams for a
livelier voyage, anyway.
A ferryboat romance.
Now that gave him some salty ideas. He wondered if there was a
mile-out club, sort of a spin off from the mile-high club.

East Meets West
J.T. Cutter had a
Colorado ranch to run -- and he rued the day he ever decided to take in
paying guests. Especially a stuck-up Easterner like Amanda Martin. Hell,
the woman was impossible, even if she was gorgeous. She obviously didn't
like him...or his horse. And was she ever sassy. As far as J.T. was
concerned, she could just pack up her neon-pink truck and hightail it back
home.
But J.T. underestimated
Amanda. She stayed put. This handsome cowboy might be too bullheaded to
figure out that she did like him, but Amanda was going to make him see the
light. In fact, she had a plan to make him fall in love with her...
And that's how the West
was won.

Luring Jesse
In the Black Hills of South Dakota,
Lynda Mason stakes claim to a
piece of Jesse Talbot's ranch
and his heart.
Lynda Mason
inherits a section of a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota from
her aunt. Wealthy rancher Jesse James Talbot claims to own the whole
mountain and he intends to keep it that way. Unable to get by the
reclusive rancher's barbed wire fences and locked gates, Lynda develops a
ruse. To lure Jesse down from his Black Hills, Lynda moves into a plush
penthouse at the exclusive Talbot Arms and poses as his wife.
The ruse works.
When Jesse swaggers into her party at the penthouse, Lynda plans to get
him alone, inform him of her claim, and give him every opportunity to buy
her out.
What she doesn't
plan on is being quite so alone with the hunk in boots. A forest fire
results in a wild helicopter ride out to his ranch. Soon sparks fly that
have nothing to do with the fire raging on the mountain.

Nobody's Angel
Dirk
Reynard is in search of a wife. His Pentium PC works fine for running his
businesses--digital farming and ranching, with a bit of rodeo stock thrown in.
So finding an absolute angel to marry on the Internet should be no problem.
Kristabelle Lewis is
a small town librarian, and still on a no-tech, Dewey decimal, card catalogue
system. Thanks to her shopaholic ways she has a dress for any occasion--well,
almost. Software, hardware, shareware? What does a woman wear on an
accidental, computerized date?
A computer-arranged blind date, a case of mistaken identity, a brother
out to prove cyber mating is flawed, and a neighbor with a criminal past all add
to the romp. Dirk and Krista go from a Reno restaurant, to an isolated mountain
cow camp, and ultimately, to Las Vegas to attend a chapel wedding complete with
an Elvis impersonator.
