HIGH TIDE BRIDE
Harlequin American
April 2003
ISBN 0-373-16968-X

When runaway bride Hope Stevens escaped from her wedding in a "borrowed" catering van, she never expected to get arrested by the sexiest sheriff in the fifty states.

But Clay Mitchell's bossy behavior soon had Hope wishing she could do her community service anywhere but Paradise Creek. That is, until the matchmaking townspeople started scheming to get the sassy redhead and their beloved sheriff together.

Clay couldn't get over the antics of the beautiful stranger who turned his once orderly town upside down like the raging floodwaters that soon followed her. He knew the big city girl was all wrong for him but he couldn't ignore the sparks that flew between them every time she was near. Would Hope and Clay be able to set aside their differences long enough to save the town—and each other—from disaster?

THE WEDDING RESCUE
Harlequin American
February 2003
ISBN 0-373-75011-0

I live in Cincinnati, and whenever I drive south I pass though orange
barrels and bumper-to-bumper traffic and finally cross the Ohio River into
the beautiful state of Kentucky.
Wild honeysuckle cascading across acres of zigzagging fences, hills of
Bluegrass rolling on for miles, hawks soaring overhead, thoroughbred horses
grazing in lush pastures, recipes for melt-in-your-mouth cornbread and
white-lightning moonshine give Kentucky a unique flavor all it's own.
I've always wanted to write a story about the horse farms and the owners
who work relentlessly to keep them so perfect. The Wedding Rescue is that book.

Horse farm owner Charity MacKay is thrilled her much loved but
devil-may-care sister is finally marrying a successful, dependable man. Too
bad his Alaskan bush pilot brother, Tanner Davenport, doesn't agree this is
the match of the century and has flown in to stop the wedding. How can there
be a wedding now? Will Tanner realize Charity is the adventure he truly
seeks and the unconditional love he's always wanted, and will Charity
realize there is life beyond the farm and Tanner is her true love?

I hope you enjoy reading about Tanner and Charity and their families and
the hills of Kentucky. I'd love hearing from you at:
DianneCastell@hotmail.com. Let me know what's special about your neck of the
woods. Have fun!

THE PLAYBOY'S PROTEGEE
Harlequin American Romance
September 2003
ISBN 0-373-16988-4

Cats and Dogs, Oil and Water...Harry and Megan. Tricked! This time Harry Sanders's matchmaking grandfather has gone too far. Assigning Harry to be a mentor in the family company was bad enough—but the old coot had paired Harry with his nemesis, the one woman guaranteed to blow the cagey playboy's cool.

Megan MacGregor's know-it-all attitude made him see red even as the hint of white lace beneath her boring blazer drove him wild. Megan was smug, starchy...and enough to steal a man's soul. And if they ever stopped arguing and started kissing, Harry just might propose a merger of the most dangerous, permanent kind....

The Playboy's Protégée is a follow-up to Michele's CATCHING THE CORPORATE PLAYBOY and a lead in to ABOUT LAST NIGHT, Michele's February 2004 release.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT
Harlequin American Romance
February 2004
ISBN 0-373-16988-4

Shane Jacobsen is the youngest and forgotten child of the Jacobsen dynasty. The ultimate party animal, he’s extremely bright and makes his money daytrading because he has no desire to go into the corporate work like his grandfather wants. Besides, he inherited his trust fund from his grandfather, as all the Jacobsen grandchildren did at 21. While Shane’s the most gorgeous of all, in his family he’s never been good enough, or even really noticed. Yes, he was a love child between his parents, but his parents have always been involved in their ministry and no matter how wild Shane acts, this youngest child simply can’t get the attention he craves. His personal assistant is Lindy, and she’s the rock he leans on. So when he wakes up one morning (after his 25th birthday that his parents forgot) unable to remember a thing, the first thing he does is call Lindy.

Lindy, however, has her own problem. The thing that Shane can’t remember is that after one to many daiquiris (that oops, he wasn't supposed to drink considering his pain medication), she spent the night in his bed, and it was the most unforgettable night of her life. So what’s a girl to do, especially when Shane’s Grandpa Joe figures out that she’s pregnant?

October 2003
ISBN 0-373-169906

The Millionaire Meets His Match ...

Forced to take a vacation, Boston's hottest bachelor and biggest workaholic traveled to sleepy Cottonwood, Texas. All Hudson Stack wanted was a little R and R, but then he met his all-too-alluring neighbor Amanda Dewhurst. Maybe it was the hot Texas sun that had him yearning to unpin this small-town Rapunzel's hair and feel it slide through his fingers ...

While Amanda liked her life predictable, Hudson coaxed her out of her cautious world with mouthwatering kisses. But before he knew it, Amanda had stolen his heart and had him rethinking his bachelor ways. The only problem was she didn't know he was a famous surgeon. Would the big-city doctor return to his lonely life, or could he convince Amanda to trust him and take the ultimate risk--of believing in forever?
