Only Forever
by Barbara Dunlop, Linda Lael Miller

Only Forever by Linda Lael Miller (originally published February 1989 in Silhouette Desire #480 and numerous reissues)

APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING....

Vanessa Lawrence had a talent: falling for the wrong man. Case in point, her ex-husband. On the outside, the football player had looked perfect---handsome and rich. But Mr. Perfect turned out to be a lying, manipulative philanderer, and Vanessa vowed never to compromise herself for a man again.

Then she met Nick DeAngelo. He was also handsome and rich. And he just happened to be a former football player. His disarming charm gave her a rush, and he sure knew how to sweep a girl off her feet. But he was so much like her ex-husband...could she trust him? Could she trust herself?

Also includes bonus book: Thunderbolt Over Texas by Barbara Dunlop which was orginally published January 2006 in Silhouette Desire #1704.

A marriage of convenience is the perfect plan for New York museum curator Sydney Wainsbrook and Texas rancher Cole Erickson. It's a business transaction that will save her career and safeguard his family's traditions.

After all, how hard can it be for Sydney to pretend to be in love with a sexy and charismatic cowboy? And Cole sure won't mind sharing his time---and maybe his bed?---with a fiery redhead from the city. So what if they're complete strangers? So what if she's only interested in borrowing his family's heirloom jewel, the Thunderbolt of Texas? So what if they discover a secret that could blow the whole scheme apart?

And what would happen if they actually managed to inconveniently fall for one another?.
