Honey and the Hired Hand A taste of honey... When a mysterious drifter appeared at Honey Farrell's ranch, willing to work for room and board, the wary widow had to hire him. Tall, dark and grouchy, Jesse Whitelaw could scare away the lurking cattle rustlers with one growl. And Honey's sons could sure use a man around. Still, there was something mighty suspicious about the cowboy.... Jesse hated lying about who he really was, yet he had to keep his cover--and the Farrells--safe. But who knew that somewhere between fixing fences and secret meetings, he'd teach a teenage boy how to be a man... or that with one wet kiss he'd remind a brokenhearted woman what it meant to love again? Or that, when the truth came out, he'd lose everything? The Cowboy Takes a Wife Is there a husband in the house? When single mother Desiree Parrish discovered that her abusive ex-husband was being released from prison, she knew she needed live-in protection at her ranch. And since hiring a bodyguard would only scare her young daughter, Desiree decided to hire a husband - a big, brawny husband - who had more muscles than questions... All cowboy Carter Prescott had to do to own a piece of Texas was say "I do" and live with a pretty woman and her cute kid. He didn't have to love his instant family, and since Carter was incapable of that, anyway, he thought he'd gotten one heck of a hassle-free deal. At least until the truth came out...
