NORAH

Norah Bloomfield and Rowdy Cassidy -- an unexpected romance

Norah Bloomfield is feeling a bit unneeded these days, a bit lonely. Her father is quickly recovering his health, and her sisters, Valerie and Stephanie, are busy planning their weddings.

Then, from out of the blue, a cantankerous Texan named Rowdy Cassidy crashes into Orchard Valley. And into Norah's life...The same Rowdy Cassidy who'd been Valerie's boss - and who'd demanded she cancel her wedding. Now he's Norah's patient. And in all her nursing experience, she's never encountered a more difficult man. Or a more irresistible one!

Yes, she falls in love with him. And that's a mistake - because Norah has good reason to believe that Rowdy's still in love with her sister.

LONE STAR LOVIN'

The Lucky Horseshoe Ranch, near pepper, Texas.

Cody Bailman-He's a hardworking, good looking rancher--who has neither the time nor the patience for "courtin' a woman". Fortunately--or unfortunately!--Cody's twelve year old daughter, Heather, is determined to teach him about romance. Because she's got her eye on newcomer Sherry Waterman as the woman who's "just perfect for dad."

Sherry Waterman-She's discovering that Texan men truly are a breed apart. Especially the stubborn Cody Bailman. She's definitely attracted to the man--in fact, she's darn close to falling in love with him--but she'd like a little romance first !
