Lightning Season

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

Samantha Bardwell was proud to be a part of her large and loving family, but it took more than love to make ends meet in the dusty Oklahoma cowtown of Salido. When her grandfather deeded her the family's sleepy cafe, she was determined to make the place into a trendy gathering spot. Yet Sam's secret barbeque sauce did more than revive her family's failing business -- it brought her an offer to franchise "Salido Sam's" around the world! She'd be thrilled -- if she could be sure her budding romance with local cattleman Jake Colby could take the heat of her success.

COMPROMISE FOR LOVE

Jake Colby's first marriage to a high fashion model had been a disaster, causing him to swear off women with expensive tastes and lifestyles. When he first became involved with Sam, she was nothing more than a local girl -- now she was worth millions. Deep down Jake wanted to believe that Sam was the same woman he had fallen in love with, but was she? Or was she about to trade in a lifetime of love for a world of glamour and glitter?
