Description
New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux touches our hearts with three charming novellas that showcase her special brand of romantically imaginative storytelling.
The Invitation
Jackie O'Neill, a beautiful daredevil pilot, has come home to Colorado, looking to settle down. But when William Montgomery finds her, a thrilling adventure begins—for little Billy, the lovesick boy who adored her, is now definitely a man, and still madly in love with her...

Matchmakers
Wall Street investor Kane Taggert is fair game for matchmaking. When he reluctantly agrees to lead four urbane women on a western trail ride, rugged Kane is about to make a rocky connection with an outspoken New Yorker—and sparks fly the minute these city slickers saddle up!

A Perfect Arrangement
Dorie Latham wants a husband—a plain, easygoing fellow, and not the handsomely heroic type like her sister Rowena married. With Rowena coming to Texas to find her a mate, Dorie needs to act fast—and after she accuses Cole Hunter of being an aging gunslinger and a swaggering killer, she asks him to marry her...

        May 20, 2002
        In the three novellas collected here, bestselling romancer Deveraux ( Sweet Liar ) explores some of the limits of the genre she knows so well, indicating she may be as spunky as her heroines. In 1934, Jackie O'Neill returns to her hometown of Chandler, Colo., an accomplished pilot and a lonely widow. Developing her air transport business can keep her happy as a pilot, and her new partner, William Montgomery, promises to make very cozy company--until Jackie realizes he is the same little Billy she babysat for many years ago. In the second story, Kane Taggert, who reluctantly agrees to guide four New York City women on a Colorado trail ride, may be enchanted by Ruth Edwards, a calculatingly charming widow, if only he can make it through the two-week trip without throttling Ruth's friend, bestselling author Cale Anderson. Experiments in shifting perspective and an outrageous soliloquy by Cale give the traditional plot some pizzazz. The last story, a historical piece, finds Dorie Latham enlisting Cole Hunter, ``an aging gunslinger with no visible means of support and the beginnings of a paunch,'' to play husband and help her elude her sister's matchmaking scheme.
