Hearts at Risk — Suzanne Barrett

A GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS

Tom McKittrick has had it with women. Pushed out of his own start-up company by a domineering "modern" female, he's ready to lick his wounds in private at the rural family estate he's inherited. But he isn't prepared for his garden of Eden to have a built-in Eve -- a reclusive naturalist with a long-term lease on the caretaker's cottage, a knack for gardening, and an incredibly beautiful face.

A PARADISE FOR TWO

April Fairchild is not about to let Tom McKittrick order her out of the home that has been her cozy retreat from the world. But she has to feel a little sorry for him -- the corporate big-wig is clearly out of his element in, well, the elements. April knows she can teach this hunky guy a thing or two about how to relax. All she has to do is sow the seeds of romance... and let nature take its course.
