German bombs start to rain down on London. She joins the
newly-formed ENSA, the Entertainments National Service Association
and is soon raising morale all over the bombed-out city - there is
little time for love. One night, Sally discovers a valuable ring
sewn into the lining of a cloak. Intrigued, she tracks down the
owner - a Naval Officer called Jonathan - but they barely have time

children and Kate is forced to do everything for them also.

farm. Knowing Buck married her out of pity keeps Kate from letting
him know she is falling in love with him. Having a beautiful
Mexican woman helping to run the farm doesn't help Kate relax. She
must constantly strive to be the mistress of the farm and make Buck
not regret he married her. It isn't until she learns of her
father's illness that Kate returns to Texas. She has to face the
heartache and anger she has left behind. She also must face the
greatest challenge she has ever faced: telling Buck she loves him.

by her father, Jennifer's life takes a huge turn. The arrival of
her twin cousins, Barbette and Roberta, complicate her life even
more. Their enthusiasm and curiosity causes Jennifer distress,

she can gain the confidence of the stranger even though he has
moved into her mother's boardinghouse. To Jeremiah Johnson, Turkey
Creek Camp is a desolate place. The Texas Panhandle is a long way
from the comforts of Georgia and the plantation he lived on. If he
wasn't determined to find answers to his past he would never have
been driven to the middle of nowhere. The red haired beauty isn't
what he expects to find and she complicates his plans. He decides
the best thing to do is get his business over and leave as soon as
possible, but his well laid plans don't work out the way he wants.

with Barbara. But, as fate deals its heavy hand, her mother steps
in and forces him to leave the settlement. Will the love Barbara
feels survive when she finds out Jeremiah's real name isn't Johnson
and his goal is to confront a couple in the settlement and upset
their lives? Will Barbara be able to come to terms with the events
that happen next and be able to face the possibility that Jeremiah
will not return for her? Will she hold out for true love and
possibly never marry or cave under pressure from her mother and
marry a man she doesn't love?
