“I’m going to watch every step you take.”
Lora shrugged. “Maybe I’ll keep an eye on you to make sure you’re as noble as you say you are.”
Eyes flashing, Jon Woods, her newest challenge, said, “I’m not noble, I just know when someone is not who they appear to be.”
She shook her head and walked back toward the house, aware that she should be unnerved by his threat, but feeling a shimmery thrill instead.
He was going to keep an eye on her, hmm? That should be interesting.
Okay, so she’d sworn off men.
That didn’t mean she couldn’t drive one remarkably irritating specimen a little crazy—did it?
She added a swish to her walk.
Take that!
Dear Reader,
Are you headed to the beach this summer? Don’t forget to take along your sunblock—and this month’s four new heartwarming love stories from Silhouette Romance!
Make Myrna Mackenzie’s The Black Knight’s Bride (SR #1722) the first book in your tote bag. This is the third story in THE BRIDES OF RED ROSE, a miniseries in which classic legends are retold in the voices of today’s heroes and heroines. For a single mom fleeing her ex-husband, Red Rose seems like the perfect town—no men! But then she meets a brooding ex-soldier with a heart of gold.…
In Because of Baby (SR #1723), a pixie becomes so enamored with a single dad and his adorable tot that she just might be willing to sacrifice her days of fun and frivolity for a human life of purpose…and love! Visit a world of magic and enchantment in the latest SOULMATES by Donna Clayton.
Even with the help of family and friends, this widower with a twelve-year-old daughter finds it difficult to think about the future—until a woman from his past moves in down the street. Rest and relaxation wouldn’t be complete without the laughter and love in The Daddy’s Promise (SR #1724) by Shirley Jump.
And while away the last of your long summer day with Make Me a Match (SR #1725) by Alice Sharpe. A feisty florist, once burned by love, is supposed to be finding a match for her mother and grandmother…not falling for the town’s temporary vet! Matchmaking has never been so much fun.
What could be better than greeting summer with beach reading? Enjoy!

ALICE SHARPE
met her husband-to-be on a cold, foggy beach in Northern California. One year later they were married. Their union has survived the rearing of two children, a handful of earthquakes registering over 6.5, numerous cats and a few special dogs, the latest of which is a yellow Lab named Annie Rose. Alice and her husband now live in a small rural town in Oregon, where she devotes the majority of her time to pursuing her second love, writing.

Lora Gifford’s Matchmaking Agenda!
| 1. | Grandma Ella: After the loss of Grandpa all those years ago, gossipy granny must be lonely. Besides, getting her a man of her own will take the focus off me! (I hope…) |
| 2. | Mom: With Dad out of the picture, Mom needs someone who can keep up with her full-of-life personality. Enter the dashing Dr. Reed. If only Mom would stop discussing the most unromantic things whenever she’s with him. Is she trying to ruin this for me—er, her? |
| 3. | Dr. Reed: Ten years older, and a whole lot more stable than Dad, the sweet and gentle vet would be the perfect match for Mom. And a wonderful stepfather for me. |
| 4. | Dr. Jon Woods: Okay, so technically he already has a girlfriend, but wouldn’t it be nice if she were actually in town? Well, not really, but at least that way I wouldn’t find myself daydreaming about a future that could never be. |
| 5. | Me: This is the only way to get mom and grandma off my back! Pretend to be interested in a man—say, Jon Woods, for example—and hopefully they’ll get the hint and leave my love life alone. Thankfully, Jon’s agreed to the charade. Luckily my heart can’t possibly get broken this time.** |
