WELCOME TO TYLER-TRY SOME CHEESECAKE
Britt Hansen’s started a new line of dairy products and it’s selling like crazy! Pull up a chair and savor the triumphs—and tragedies—of America’s favorite hometown.
A YOUNG WIDOW STRUGGLES TO SAVE FAMILY FARM
Britt is certain that her new venture will save her farm from bankruptcy—if she can convince the dairy, her biggest creditor, to give her the time she needs.
WILL THE DAIRY REP STAND IN HER WAY?
Jake Marshack’s future at the dairy will be assured if he can persuade Britt to sell her farm. But he hadn’t expected the mother of four to be so determined...or so attractive. Soon, he isn’t sure if their battle is one he wants to win....

“I won’t sell this farm,” Britt said.
“Mrs. Hansen, you’re in considerable debt already, with little chance of fighting your way out. If you sell, you can pay all your debts and still have enough left over to start four college funds.”
She did not appear appeased. “You even know how many children I have.”
“Details are an important part of my job,” he said without apology. “You owe us a lot of money, Mrs. Hansen. One of us better do his research.”
She marched across the kitchen, yanked the door open and fixed him with a lethal stare. “I’m a 34B, I love silk underthings, mocha fudge ice cream, and I root for the Milwaukee Brewers. Anything else you’d like to know?”
Temporarily defeated, Jake smiled politely and went to the door. “We’ll deliver your supplies,” he said as he stepped out, “as soon as your bill is paid.”
Welcome to Mills & Boon’s Tyler, a small Wisconsin town whose citizens we hope you’ll soon come to know and love. Like many of the innovative publishing concepts Mills & Boon has launched over the years, the idea for the Tyler series originated in response to our readers’ preferences. Your enthusiasm for sequels and continuing characters within many of the Mills & Boon lines has prompted us to create a twelve-book series of individual romances whose characters’ lives inevitably intertwine.
Tyler faces many challenges typical of small towns, but the fabric of this fictional community created by Mills & Boon will be torn by the revelation of a long-ago murder, the details of which will evolve right through the series. This intriguing crime will culminate in an emotional trial that profoundly affects the lives of the Ingallses, the Barons, the Forresters and the Wochecks.
A hot baseball game is going on across the park, and, as usual, the whole town is turning out for the Fourth of July picnic. No doubt they’ll be sampling Britt Hansen’s delicious new yogurt products.
And there’s startling scuttlebutt, as well. The investigation of Margaret Ingalls’s death takes a dramatic turn. In fact, it seems Alyssa Baron is preparing to take over the family business. Judson just hasn’t been the same since the news.…
So join us in Tyler for a slice of small-town life that’s not as innocent or as quiet as you might expect, and for a sense of community that will capture your mind and your heart.
