"The First Family of Texas" series
Harlequin Superromance
December 2002
Means and opportunity--maybe. Motive? No way!
Michael First seems to have everything a man could want--a wife he adores; beautiful children he delights in; loving parents and siblings who live close by the West Texas ranch where he works. Then fate turns his world upside down. Clare, his wife, is killed in his car--and when the police find that the brakes were tampered with, they charge him with the crime. As attorney Lara Stovall gathers evidence on his behalf, she discovers some serious cracks in Michael's perfect marriage. She discovers, too, a simmering attraction to Michael, which started when she was his girlfriend in high school, before he met and married Clare. The possibility of years in prison, lingering grief and guilt and doubt--that's a lot for any man and woman to overcome. But if they can, Michael and Lara might have a second chance at a first love... This is the dramatic, stunning conclusion of "The First Family of Texas" series. You won't want to miss it! |

"The First Family of Texas" series
Harlequin Superromance
February 2002
Marriage isn't for her...
When Julie First's boyfriend proposes on the condition that she devote herself to him and his banking career, she can't flee fast enough. She's going to put all her energy into working for the school district, instead, now that she's received her master's degree in education. The job sounds great, except for the final clause in her contract--sign a loyalty oath that promises she won't criticize the administration. Julie finds the demand odd and offensive, but she goes along until she can no longer ignore growing evidence of corruption.
Or is it?
School board member Rolf Murdock thinks Julie's concerns are exaggerated, but he'll help her investigate. Although his first wife left him to pursue her career, he's as charmed by career woman Julie as she is by him and his children. Soon they're investigating more than a cover-up!
Winner of the WordWeaving Award for Excellence
Praise for A Mother to His Children:
"Casper has a gift for capturing the inner turmoil that motivates not only his main characters, but also his secondary characters. As a result, his novels reach a level of depth seldom matched within the genre. A remarkable balance of motives, concerns, and hearts, A MOTHER TO HIS CHILDREN comes very highly recommended." -- Cindy Penn, WordWeaving

First comes love, then comes marriage...maybe!
|
Gideon First has found the woman he loves, wants to marry and spend the rest of his life with. But wedded bliss may not be his after an ex-girlfriend charges that the child she secretly gave birth to is Gideon's. Of course the news that her husband-to-be has fathered a child out of wedlock stuns Lupe Amorado. But what really shocks her is that Gideon considers putting his adorable little daughter up for adoption. He has his reasons, but Lupe's not sure she even wants to hear them. Suddenly Gideon and Lupe have two crises to deal with - Gideon's baby and a wedding that's been put on hold. |

The First daughter just might have a second chance.
Nineteen years ago, when she thought she knew everything, Kerry First ditched Craig Robeson at their high school prom and ran off with the class bad boy. It was a mistake--one of many she would make. Now Craig is back in her life, successful, strikingly handsome, generous and caring. And despite everything, he's thrilled to see Kerry again. They're both grown up in nineteen years--though they had to do it the hard way--and they're ready for a deep connection. Except that Kerry's unresolved problems with her family, so uncomfortably close to Craig's own, almost send HIM running this time--no matter how much he wants to be with her, no matter how much she begs him to stay... |

Praise for The First Daughter and its author:
"Casper explores tough issues in this emotionally charged tale featuring a flawed but wonderfully written heroine, a sensitive hero and powerful scenes." -- Romantic Times, 4 1/2 Stars
"K. N. Casper has written a taut contemporary romance that focuses on the strain caused by alcoholism and abuse on the individual and family members. THE FIRST DAUGHTER is a powerful insightful tale remindful of stories like Days of Wine and Roses." -- Harriet Klausner, Painted Rock Reviews, Five Stars
"Some of the most painful of life's challenges are presented in THE FIRST DAUGHTER, yet it's also a fun, exciting read. Casper is master of reflection the shifts of characterization with his authorial voice, reflecting the social grace of sobriety and the ugliness of drunkedness with equal skill. With its rich characterization and multi-layered plot, THE FIRST DAUGHTER comes very highly recommended." -- Cindy Penn, WordWeaving
"Even though this is the second book in The First Family of Texas series, it is a stand-alone book. After reading this story, I want to go back and read the first book that I missed and I definitely will be looking for the future books of this well written series. K. N. Casper had found a new enthusiastic fan in me." Kathy Boswell
"The FIRST DAUGHTER is a riveting, thought provoking and highly sensuous romance with a hero and heroine that lingers in the reader's mind long after the story has ended." -- Livia Holton, The Romance Readers Connection, 4+ stars
