Dedicated veterinarian, Christine Vance, is ready to exchange wedding vows with her long-time boyfriend, Brian. Because of Brian�s jealousy for Christine�s career, the relationship has already experienced its share of rocky times. And now, the day of their wedding, Christine�s step-father hits a collie on the road while driving the family to the chapel. They take the collie to Christine�s animal clinic, but because her partner is in the hospital giving birth, there is no other vet on duty besides Christine to attend the dog�s injuries. This doesn�t seem to concern either Christine�s self-pitying mother or Brian who bursts onto the scene at the clinic. Brian is angry and impatient, and to make matters worse, he knows the dog: Rufus belongs to his estranged cousin, Paul.
Paul Toulon already feels guilty for what severed his once close relationship with Brian. And while he is sympathetic to the stress that Brian places on his fianc�, he is determined to not again do anything that will only further the emotional gap between them. When the hot-tempered Brian calls to break up with Christine, Paul feels compelled to do the accommodating thing and help her track Brian down in Maine.
Yet, there�s something about Christine Vance that gets under Paul�s skin. Something bright, becoming and unassumingly charming. Will Paul be able to remain as loyal as his dear Rufus? Or will that very special something about Christine compel him to show her exactly what his cousin has taken for granted for far too long?
In The One You Love, Tina Van Zandt employs lively dialogue and a command for tight, lively narrative. I was especially impressed with her skill for the subtle nuances of personality flaws and virtues in her major characters. A story is always more memorable when the characters can be identified with. I found Paul Toulon virile and humane; and there�s a light but winning sensuality that brews steadily between him and the compassionate Christine. Hard Shell Word Factory certainly has a winner with The One You Love. This is a captivating feel-good romance, sure to find a welcome spot on the bookshelves of romance readers.

Catalin Bengoa goes to Spain in search of her father. Her only clue to his whereabouts lies within the pages of his journal, writings that speak of a terrible, soul deep pain he can't accept. Francisco Marquez owns an elite gallery that displays his own work, none of which equals the beauty he finds in Catalin when she steps into his world.
Instantly Cisco senses something unique about her, a secret that even she doesn't know. She's an Innocent, unprepared for the inevitable change that would permanently alter, or end, her life. Though it'd be wiser by far to leave her to her fate, Cisco is compelled to get involved with her. To save her from herself, and from a rival Alpha who only values her as a commodity to be sold.
Cisco's good intentions are fouled by the amoral Alpha who spirits Catalin away to his private retreat. A fight to the death is required to set Catalin free, but her fear triggers the change that marks the beginning of a new life. Or simply the end of one.
