A shot-gun groom.

Like his brothers before him, youngest son Camden Worthington respected family tradition and opted for a career in the clergy. But the handsome young vicar is too unconventional for the older members of his parish and too tempting a target for the single females. Thinking he'll fare better as an American missionary, Cam heads to Texas. But on the way to a meeting with the Texas Anglican Bishop, he's waylaid by a thunderstorm and seeks refuge in a barn. The next morning, he's awakened by a farmer with a shotgun, a nervous young woman, and a preacher ready to perform a marriage ceremony. Carolina Allen has never laid eyes on the handsome young man in her father's barn, but the baby she's carrying needs a father and she needs a husband, so she's says "I do," and talks her reluctant groom into escorting her to her uncle's ranch. The Anglican Bishop will have to wait while Cam completes his mission of mercy, and learns a thing or two about honor, love, and the power of a determined woman.

He'd teach her to be a lady...his.

After a series of disastrous ventures, the middle son of the Earl of Devonshire, Reginald Thomas Worthington--Reg--vowed to prove to his father that he could successfully manage his family's newly acquired Texas ranch. With no experience in the cattle business, he enlisted the aid of his unconventional neighbor, Abigail Waters. In return for sharing her expertise in ranching, Abigail asked that he instruct her in the arts and graces of being a lady so she could attract the attention of a local man. But soon, their bargain throws them together in unusual intimacy, and it isn't long before Reg beings to wonder if he is succeeding all too well. For he is finding himself so strongly drawn to the pretty, outspoken Abbie that he has begun to want her all to himself.

A perfect Gentleman. . .
Perfectly in love

As the eldest son of the Earl of Devonshire, Charles Worthington had chafed in the role of dutiful heir under his father's controlling hand. Seeing to his family's estates in the frontier town of Fairweather, Texas, would afford him the chance to live as he pleased, and to escape an arranged marriage to pampered Lady Cecily Thorndale. But Charles never expected the prim and proper English rose to follow him there, and he certainly didn't think she would demonstrate such an adventurous spirit. Now he wonders if the passionate feelings Cecily arouses in him are proof that his heart has found the woman he is meant to love.
