The Bachelor

Kicking off a new three-part series, this title introduces the Chandlers, a trio of sexy brothers whose dying mother demands they get married and have children. Foreign correspondent Roman Chandler prizes his freedom, but losing a coin toss seals his fate. Then Roman is reunited with the woman who got away: Charlotte Bronson, who returns to Yorkshire Falls to put down roots and get her lingerie business off the ground. (July)

When Mrs. Chandler is rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest (which turns out to be acute heartburn) her three handsome sons flock to her side, anxious to do whatever they can to make her feel better.

"Grandbabies " she cries. And so the hunt for wives begins. Roman, the youngest son (and the loser of a coin toss), is the first to go. But in this sleepy town, he's sure he'll never find a woman sophisticated enough to satisfy him for life -- until he bumps into Charlotte Bronson, the one who got away, and the woman who just may be the one.
