Always a Temp
Callie's back—and that spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Is Callie McCarran serious? Breezing into town years later, expecting to "make peace"? Nathan Marcenek isn't buying. He's already had a taste of her drive-by affection and, as fabulous as it was, he isn't interested in another hit.
He'll give her points for daring, though. Here she is, in his newspaper office, asking for freelance assignments while she wraps up some old business. Help her out? No way. Trust her again? Not this time. Over her? Nathan's not so sure about that one. Seems the old chemistry is still there—on both sides. Could that spell L-O-V-E for this unlikely pair?

Hero and heroine were high school sweethearts, or almost. Then she disappeared, leaving town without saying goodbye. Now she's back for the funeral of the woman who raised her after her father left her there. She didn't make it back from Kazakhstan before her foster mom died, and the town frowns upon that, and on her. Both hero and heroine are journalists. He's managing editor of the local paper after an accident while he was doing some investigative journalism. He has no intention of forgiving her for running off all those years ago, flat refuses to buy any freelance articles from her and generally is a grump. Seems like three quarters of the story goes by before he even softens, which makes the resolution and happy ending a little hard to buy. But it's a nice little story. I liked it.

An interesting of a young woman who left to travel and make a life for herself seeing the world. She returns home after the death of the woman who raised her. Now she's living in the house where she grew up and needs a job. There's also some strange goings on at the house behind hers. She needs a job and the male romantic interest is not happy about her presence as he feels he can't trust her staying power. Meanwhile there's a bunch of fires and questions about the kids in the house behind hers. The storyline runs smoothly to an interesting conclusion.

Permanently injured by an explosion when he was a big-city reporter, a man returns to his small Nevada home town only to find the woman who dumped him in high school is back--and wants to be friends again. He's not so happy about this. The heroine must confront her fears of commitment and the town's hostility to her fly-by-night ways and find a job, and, more importantly, make peace with her past. Nicely done.
