No Matter What/The Maverick's Ready-Made Family

By Janice Kay Johnson and Brenda Harlen

No Matter What by Janice Kay Johnson

As a high school vice principal Molly Callahan is used to being the one with all the solutions. But not this time. Her teenage daughter's pregnancy has Molly questioning her own choices. Now, more than ever, she needs someone to trust.

Little does she expect that person to be Richard Ward. Their teenagers' dilemma has forced them to meet, but something much more powerful is pulling them together. This is hardly the time for Richard and Molly to think about themselves...yet she can't stop this attraction. Letting herself count on him is one thing. Letting herself fall for him? That's guaranteed to make things very complicated.

The Maverick's Ready–Made Family by Brenda Harlen

What could be more of a handful than a babbling, bouncing baby? How about two? Sexy single dad Clayton Traub already has a full plate with adorable six–month–old Bennett. But rumours tell us Clay's got a new main squeeze in Antonia Wright. Yes, that Antonia – feisty, independent…and eight months pregnant!

Antonia knows better than to fall for a wrangler bunking at her boarding house – particularly in her condition. But how can she resist Clay's magnetism when he's living so close? Stay tuned, rough riders, and see if the cowboy daddy can lasso Toni's heart!

Janice Kay Johnson

Janice Kay Johnson is the author of sixty books for children and adults. Her first four published romance novels were coauthored with her mother, also a writer who has since published mysteries and children's books on her own. These were "sweet" romance novels, the author hastens to add; she isn't sure they'd have felt comfortable coauthoring passionate love scenes! Janice graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in history and then received a master's degree in library science from the University of Washington. She was a branch librarian for a public library system until she began selling her own writing. She has written six novels for young adults and one picture book for the read-aloud crowd. Rosamund was the outgrowth of all those hours spent reading to her own daughters, and of her passion for growing old roses. Two more of her favourite books were historical novels she wrote for Tor/Forge. The research was pure indulgence for someone who set out intending to be a historian! Janice is divorced and has raised her two daughters in a small, rural town north of Seattle, Washington. She's an active volunteer and board member for Purrfect Pals, a no-kill cat shelter, and foster kittens often enliven a household that already includes a few more cats than she wants to admit to! Janice loves writing books about both love and family - about the way generations connect and the power our earliest experiences have on us throughout life. Her Superromance novels are frequent finalists for Romance Writers of America RITA awards.
