Nothing stirred Tannis Winter like the plight of the homeless, and she'd devoted herself to aiding the street people she'd chosen for her research. But when a mysterious-looking derelict began following her in her bag-lady disguise, she felt a moment of terror--then knocked him to the ground and got him arrested! How was she to know he was the new town councilman, working undercover to expose the city's failure to help the poor? Dillon James was bewitched by her courage and her compassion, but it was the summer in her skin and the fire in her eyes that made him want to ignite a hidden passion in the enchanting crusader Tannis felt the hunger of need erupt inside, but could she trust this darkly handsome man with a heart once betrayed? Dillon stalked her with fierce desire and a yearning to be cherished, but the pain of his past echoed her own. Could he make her see that once they'd touched, he'd be part of her life forever?

Stony Clove, a little town snuggled in a rugged mountain pass, was cleared and farmed by Dutch settlers one hundred years ago. It was rumored amongst the townsfolk that the solid rock of the area had been forged by the Devil himself who, in a fury, had fashioned it after his own cleft foot.

Asher and Ginny were born and raised in this town, with its old fashioned traditions and tales. The most famous was the story of the ghost of William Sutherland and the legend that had grown around his life--and death--at Stony Clove. The mystique of the Sutherland homestead captivated Asher and Ginny, leading them to discoveries about the legend, and themselves, that would bond them together for an eternity.

Beautiful, irrepressible Miranda doesn't mean to attract attention; she just does. The problem is she's a senator's daughter, and while the press loves her high jinks, her father hates them. Worse, her antics draw threatening letters from an unknown stalker.

Her exasperated father banishes her to rural Arkansas for her own safety. Miranda finds herself under the grudging protection of Quint Wilcox, a rugged veterinarian who's unreadable, unfriendly--and devastatingly handsome.

Quint's Flirtation River hideaway is a rehabilitation center for wounded and orphaned wildlife. He makes it clear he prefers his animal charges to this woman he sees only as a shallow party doll. They seem hopeless opposites until they are brought closer by an unlikely group of matchmakers--including a litter of orphaned foxes and a purse full of baby squirrels.

FLIRTATION RIVER was Bethany Campbell's first novel to win the Romance Writers of America RITA Award. Readers of Romantic Times magazine remembered the story well enough even twenty years later to vote it among the Best 1001 Romances written.

SHE WAS A MISTRESS OF DISASTER--AND HE DEMANDED SHE KEEP HER DISTANCE!

With his broad shoulders and flashing dark eyes, Lord Ravenel could have stepped from the pages of lady author Gwenda Vickers's gothic novels!

Certainly she hadn't meant to eavesdrop on his marriage proposal--nor overhear the lady's refusal. But certainly he would welcome her advice--as a seasoned writer, of course--on the art of romance.

But Ravenel fairly cursed the imperturbable Miss Vickers. Her penchant for disaster and her boot-chewing hound were enough to drive a man to Bedlam! How shocked he was, then, to discover he yearned to star in a love story of his own...with the wide-eyed authoress herself!
