Darlene Gardner

Updated Edition! Available digitally for the first time!

To FBI agent Max Dolinger, the world is black and white. He doesn't make moves on a buddy's girlfriend, doesn't turn the other way when a wrong has been committed and definitely never fights to keep criminals out of jail.

Then a desperate Sara Reynolds, now his buddy's ex, sweeps back into his life pleading for help. Sara needs Max to find his friend, who's missing along with thousands in cash. And, oh yeah, Sara's younger brother could go to jail if Max fails.

Trouble is, Max thinks there's a pretty good chance Sara's brother belongs in jail. But how can he refuse to help Sara, even if it means his principles will be tested to the max? And by sticking to them, he could lose the only woman he's ever truly loved?

Forget Me? Not (A Romantic Comedy)

Darlene Gardner

Updated Edition! Originally published by Harlequin Duets.

Amanda Baldwin isn't keen on eavesdroppers. Especially when the eavesdropper hears her fiancé call off their long-awaited wedding--after the invitations have already been sent!

Never mind that the eavesdropper, the irrepressible Zach Castelli, wants to help Amanda get over her heartache by showing her life on the wild side. Or that Zach is a bonafide hunk. He's her polar opposite, a beach bum who can't commit to anything and calls marriage the state of "unhappily ever after."

As her few weeks around Zach count down to an inevitable end, though, the question isn't whether Amanda will be able to forget her fiancé. It's whether she'll ever forget Zach.

The sperm donor she hired has gone AWOL, so who's the man in her bed? A misunderstanding of biological proportions.

A man is good for only one thing.

Dr. Marietta Dalrymple wants a baby, but all she wants from a man is his sperm. A professor of evolutionary biology, Marietta can explain away romantic love with scholarly theories of why men and women are compelled to copulate. Monogamy, she believes, is a state most males can't achieve.

So what is Marietta to do after she mistakes Cash "Jax" Jackson for the carefully screened sperm donor she hired to impregnate her? Especially when Jax doesn't know about the legal document the other man signed relinquishing all rights to the child.

Jax soon sets his sights on more than Marietta's unborn baby. But can he prove to her that romantic love truly exists? Or will the secret he's keeping destroy any chance these unlikely lovers have at happiness?
