Dear Reader,
Little did I know when I set out to write this story that I was plunging myself into such a complex situation. But then, I must like getting in over my head. Those of you who’ve read my other stories can probably attest to the fact that they occasionally stretch the boundaries of series romance. Anyway, poor Reenie has her hands full in this book—but don’t worry, I manage to make it up to her in the end. Not everyone deserves a guy like Isaac.
Of all the books I’ve written, I have to admit that I’m probably most curious about reader response to this one. I wonder what people will think of Keith—crucify him or forgive him? And Elizabeth—does she deserve her own happily ever after? Then there’s the old conflict between Gabe and the half sister he never knew….
I always enjoy returning to Dundee. I hope this has become a comfortable place for you, too…a bit like returning home.

To my editor, Paula Eykelhof, who has been instrumental
in making the Harlequin Superromance line what it is today.
I’m sure I speak for all the authors you’ve worked with over
the years when I thank you for your willingness to take a
few calculated risks, for your commitment to good quality
writing and meaningful stories, and for being such a pleasure
to know. On a more personal note, I can’t tell you how
much I appreciate the confidence you’ve had in me and the
support you’ve given me. We’ve already done nineteen books
together, but I’m looking forward to at least twenty more!

KEITH O’CONNELL WAS LYING. Isaac Russell could tell.
Surprised, he slowly lowered his fork while studying his brother-in-law’s face. Keith wouldn’t meet Isaac’s eyes. He wouldn’t look at Elizabeth, either. And there were other signs. The way he hunched his shoulders and СКАЧАТЬ
