New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer commemorates the bliss of courtship with two romances set in a rollicking Montana setting!
THE MEN OF MEDICINE RIDGE
For rugged ranchers Mack Killain and Gil Callister, setting pulses aflutter is all in a day's work. But these towering, tenacious men of Medicine Ridge Ranch won't be sweet-talked into marriage. Or will they. . . ? Sparks fly when two beguilingly innocent bachelorettes pull out all the stops to charm their surly cowboys into trading in a life of stubborn solitude for love on the range!
THE WEDDING IN WHITE
From the moment Mack Killain branded her with his slow, sensual kisses, schoolteacher Natalie Brock knew the dynamic cattleman was her destiny. Now she just had to convince him of that!
CIRCLE OF GOLD
Never in her wildest dreams had Kasie Mayfield believed that her formidable boss could sweep her off her feet. Why then was it on the tip of her tongue to passionately profess her love to the ornery Gil Callister?
