Temporarily retired dancer–and big-city girl– Carly Stewart was aghast when a fender bender caused her to set up housekeeping in Sam Frazier's house in tiny Haven, Oklahoma. But «aghast» didn't begin to describe her reaction as she realized she was attracted to this tall, dark and handsome…farmer! And father…of six!Widower and single father Sam had become an expert at reading signs, and the petite and feisty beauty currently residing with him might as well have had «Just Passing Through» written all over her. And though he was finding her nearly impossible to resist, resist he must–because if and when she walked out that door, she would leave seven hearts in pieces. But if she stayed, she could make seven people really happy. Or even…eight?

The second volume in the bestselling Mars trilogy – and now part of the Voyager Classics collection.Mars can be plundered – for the benefit of a ravaged Earth. It can be terraformed to suit Man’s needs – frozen lakes form, lichen grows, the atmosphere slowly becomes breathable. But most importantly, Mars can be owned. On Earth, countries are bought and sold by the transnationals. Why not Mars too?Man’s dream is underway, but so is his greatest test. The survivors of the First Hundred – Hiroko, Nadia, Maya and Simon among them – know that technology alone is not enough. Trust and co-operation are need to create a new world – but these qualities are as thin on the ground as the air they breathe.
