Romance

Local Hero Comic-book writer Mitch Dempsey creates heroes, but he's never seen himself as one -- until Hester Wallace moves into the apartment upstairs, that is. When Hester's son, Radley, finds out his new neighbour is the brain behind his favourite superhero...well, Mitch might as well be Commander Zark. He can do no wrong as far as Radley is concerned, but Hester isn't as easy to win over. Still, there's something about the shy, single mum that intrigues Mitch...and makes him long to love, honour and protect her forever. Unfinished Business Hyattown had changed very little in the years Vanessa Sexton had been away. In some ways her high school sweetheart, Brady Tucker, hadn't changed much either -- he was still lean, athletic, rugged...But the once reckless boy had become a solid, dependable man. He'd stood her up on the most important night of her life; could she ever trust him again? Vanessa had finally come home! She could still turn Brady inside out with one of her sultry looks. He couldn't believe she hadn't forgiven him for that night twelve years ago -- but he'd had his reasons for not showing up. He'd let her leave town then -- but he wasn't going to let her get away this time...
