The Love of a Cowboy (Callister #1) by Anna Jeffrey - published by Onyx 2003

When Texas beauty Dahlia Montgomery’s husband winds up dead in a car crash with another woman by his side, Dahlia is forced to face challenges she had never imagined. Not only had he been unfaithful, he left her broke and saddled with a small Dallas software company under investigation by the SEC and the IRS.

She handled all of it with her usual calm efficiency, but she had to take bankruptcy and abandon a promising business career of her own. With no other options, Shattered and depressed, she moved back to her small West Texas hometown to live with her father and help him in his mom and pop grocery store.

Two years later, her life still is going nowhere and she's miserable. She allows her best friend to drag her off to the Idaho wilderness to work on a surveying crew for the summer. The friend’s idea is for a different environment to elevate Dahlia’s mood and give her a different perspective on life. And it does. Just when she thought she would never meet another man she could or would trust, she runs into, literally, wealthy cattle rancher, Luke McRae.

Luke is the manager of a huge, family-owned, ranching dynasty, which includes thousands of acres of grassland and timber. Having found love in the wrong place as a randy nineteen-year-old, he’s now saddled with more than taking care of the ranch. He has an alcoholic ex-wife, with whom he has an ongoing feud over custody of their two teenage daughters, a mentally and physically challenged son who suffers from FAS and a mother who has no intention of letting him forget how he got into his predicament.

When he meets Dahlia, the new half-Filipino beauty in town from Texas, he’s in no mood for love. Sex is all he’s after. He usually satisfies his needs out of town, but the mix of beauty and brains he finds in Dahlia is hard to resist. They spend a lusty, romantic summer.

As thoughts of her start to fill all of his waking and sleeping moments, he begins to worry over what he’s going to do about her. He loves her, but bringing a woman who's an outsider into his family presents way too many obstacles. His solution is to cut and run.

Meanwhile, Dahlia's aged father suffers a sudden stroke and she's called to return to Texas immediately. Neither she nor Luke knows that when she leaves Idaho, she carries Luke's child. Months later, in a letter from her best friend, Luke learns she has given birth to a perfect son, a potential heir to the McRae dynasty. He’s driven to travel to Texas to try to recapture what he and Dahlia had through that fateful Idaho summer and to claim his son. That is, if she doesn’t send him packing all the way back to Idaho.

In Room 33 by E.C. Sheedy - published by Kensington 2004

A decaying ruin, the Hotel Philip is nearly empty, stripped of its luxurious furnishings and plush decor long ago. Its downfall: the notorious Room 33, the scene of mysterious deaths...and suicide...and an unsolved murder. The old hotel is still worth millions, and Joy Cole's stepfather left the place to her--cutting her glamorous, calculating mother out of his will. Joy plans to restore the building to its lost grandeur, if Wade Emerson, the handsome grandson of the hotel's builder, will help. But Wade keeps his distance--until a hot afternoon melts his reserve, and one by one, the secrets of the old hotel are revealed. Except where the bodies are buried. As the few remaining tenants in the hotel mysteriously start to disappear, Wade fears for Joy's life--and his own. Someone is watching and someone is waiting--for revenge. And revenge is a dish best served cold.

Mate

An isolated archeological site, a terrified Changeling cub, a shadowy research facility--as Kenzie and Josh face the ultimate betrayal, his obsidian eyes promise untold pleasure and hint at dark secrets of his own. . .

"Make room on the keeper shelf--Dani Harper is definitely an author to watch." --Kate Douglas

Dang that is a good price. I think that's the one I paid over $11 for at allromance, thinking I was getting a rebate. Didn't. That was the last time I bought a book from them. Really good series though, love Dani Harper.

What a great sale! I have purchased a few books and may yet go back for another. I did run into a problem, though; the Terry Spear title tries to use up one of my member credits. I posted about it on the blog and sent in an inquiry to see if there is a way around it.

The Elaine Coffman "Black Douglas" book is in the same series as the "Black Isle" that's featured as a pick this month. I picked it up and will read to see if I want to spend my June credit.

Do you suppose it's greedy of me to hope they add more to the list of sale titles?

Nah, not at all. I'm hoping for the same!

15 books for $10.48 with discover15!

[booklover6]

Yeah, I already bought that Elaine Coffman from them earlier this month.

[Blossom]

I think I own about every one of them either bought with coupons or full price. The Tyler book should of been marked down to 59 cents as well. It's got major editing issues unless those have been fixed? I paid full price for it when it came out. I actually bought the second one Dylan just to see if it was the Author or editor issue. The second is much much better and not missing words or action descriptions.
