Reluctant Mail Order Bride

Clara Grace longs for only one thing: to be free. She longs to be free of her father who has always resented her; she longs to be free of the house which still contains the ghost of her older sister who passed on a year ago. But, when her father announces that he placed a personal ad in her name seeking a husband out west and, what's more, he has accepted a proposal on her behalf, she can't help but think that this is not the freedom she imagined.

Even though the letters Alfred Bell has written to her father (who wrote to the young man under Clara's name) are eloquent and reveal the his intelligence and polite manner, Clara is reluctant to accept that she will be happy with a man she has never met.

When she meets Alfred, however, she discovers that, like her, he is at the mercy of a demanding father. Now, Clara must make a decision. Will she stay with Alfred and face the demands of his family with him, or will she strike out to find freedom on her own?

Turn the World Around

Connie is a mother who struggles to keep her life together. A divorced woman, she tries to save her family from eviction by going to extreme lengths. But it is then that she meets a mysterious, charming man, with the promise of being a great father, and a good husband.

Somewhere inside him though, there is a dark secret that can destroy her life, as well her child's; a secret that almost drives her mad. With her child's life in danger, as well her own, she does everything in her power to escape this new reality, while on the same time exceeding her sense of self.

The only thing that helps her though, is the promise she made to herself; a promise to turn the world around, so that she can protect her daughter's innocence from every harm. A promise worth keeping.

Rustic Love

Jillian, depressed after not getting her much-awaited promotion at work, wants to get away from it all and start anew in a fresh environment. She goes to The Lakefront Ranch, expecting to fill in a high-paying managerial position with free board and lodging, but was terribly shocked upon finding out that the old ranch owner was actually looking forward to her coming — as his wife!

Apparently, there had been a mix-up at the agency. Now she's forced to work there to pay off the down payment he'd previously sent, which she thought had been a bonus. To make matters even worse, she meets the owner's son, gorgeous cowboy Jake who happens to be the college ex who had broken her heart many years ago.

Is it just a coincidence or are they really destined to be together? Will Jillian be able to resist Jake's charms this time around or will she fall for him all over again despite the painful scars he'd left on her heart?
