    <![CDATA[<strong>Another flirty tale of fun and fabulous footwear from the gals of Bellagio, Inc.!</strong>    <p>Bellagio, Inc. public relations genius Trina Roberts had been a bad, bad girl when she'd gone to bed with a recently jilted groom and wound up pregnant. She knew Walker Gordon wasn't looking for forever -- at least not with her. So when he took a job overseas, she sort of <em>neglected</em> to tell him about the baby on the way.    <p>Well, now he's back . . . and he's just figured out the truth.    <p>Walker had been reeling from a very public breakup when Trina had offered solace he couldn't deny. He'd never expected the result would make him somebody's <em>daddy!</em> Trina claimed not to need anything from him, but he was determined that his child have a father; he just didn't know if it should be him. Because a father's shoes . . . well, those he wasn't sure he could fill.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>It's all about the shoes!</strong>  <p>Designing footwear is Jenny Prillaman's life, so getting the plum assignment to create a socialite's wedding shoes is a dream come true. Dealing with the heiress is another story. So is staying away from her dreamy new boss, a man too hot to deny for long, despite Jenny's best intentions of keeping her business away from his pleasure.  <p>Making Ballagio, Inc. an international success is executive Marc Waterson's career ambition. But his life's desire is to find the right woman and settle down. Too bad Jenny would rather follow in his corporate footsteps than try on the glass slippers of a company wife.  <p>At least Marc's got one thing going for him -- the way to a woman's heart is through a really great pair of shoes!</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Think working for a leading international shoe company sounds like a dream job? Not if you're Amelia Parker, an overworked, downtrodden temp working for Bellagio, Inc.'s grande dame, Lillian Bellagio. But things are looking up for Amelia. She's just been given the assignment of accompanying Ms. Bellagio to her estate in the Keys. Trading pumps for flip-flops and a cell phone for a conch shell--could be worse, right?<p>  <p>Especially when life on the island includes her very own mystery man--one Jack &quot;The Shark&quot; O'Connell, dashing venture capitalist. He dares Amelia to use this time to do something wild: drink a hurricane, go skinny-dipping&#133;have an affair with a dangerously attractive man. Now Amelia will have to decide whether to step into that glass slipper.<p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Heiress Lori Granger looks like a million bucks - and is famous for giving much of her fabulous fortune away. But her generosity has outstripped her checkbook and not even her glamorous image and come-hither eyes can save her now. Certainly not with Jackson James in the picture...Hired by her dad's estate to control her spending, this accountant with linebacker shoulders and grey flannel suits invades her space, insults her dog and refuses to loosen his grip on her trust fund. Worse he seems to be totally immune to her charms - unless she's close enough to kiss. Not a man to cross the line with a client, even when the attraction is hotter than a pair of Lori's highest slingbacks, Jackson agrees to help her find a husband to fulfill a condition of her father's will. Yet sharing her dreams with him makes Lori wonder: Could this infuriating Mr. Straight be the one to make them all come true?]]>

The sexy businessman was committed only to his extended Italian family, to their business — Baronessa Gelati — and to short-term relationships with gorgeous socialites. Then one pint-sized female turned his priorities upside down. <br/><br/>Enter Gail Fenton, nanny extraordinaire. Within days she had a cranky Molly smiling; within a few sleepless nights, she had a frustrated Nicholas fantasizing. Bewitched by a virgin. Vexed by the girl next door. Man-about-town Nicholas was in serious trouble, for unlike his former lovers, who wanted only his money or his name, Gail wanted his heart.]]>

    <![CDATA[Gannon Elliott never expected to become a father just to hire an editor for his magazine. But the billionaire had been bred to compete and win, like all in the Elliott dynasty, and now to win a challenge, he needed the best — his ex-lover Erika Layven. <br/><br/>More than anything, Erika wanted a baby, and the way she saw it, Gannon, who'd ruined her for any other man, owed her. It didn't matter that his green eyes drew her like a bee to honey, that his killer bod put sinful thoughts in her head. She'd simply draw up a contract and treat him like any other business deal. But Erika made one fatal mistake. She underestimated Gannon's charms....]]>

But their latest choice — a shy, awkward American billionaire's daughter, more interested in computers than in men — was a disaster. And that made her the perfect &quot;fiancée&quot;... <br/><br/>A fake engagement to this &quot;ugly duckling&quot; would let him return to his first love — medicine — and would surely never go anywhere. Except...Tara York was turning into a swan — a confident, sensual, extremely desirable woman — before his very eyes. And suddenly, he was aching to truly make her his princess...]]>
