A Rancher's Vow. Patricia Rosemoor

      He turned to look at her—even more stunning than she’d been a couple of hours before when he’d married her. If that were possible…

      “Reed?” Alcina asked. “What’s wrong?”

      “Nothing. I’m just thinking. Trying to shake the tension of the big day.”

      Suddenly the moment was here and he was struck dumb. He had to say something to get the ball rolling.

      “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything interfere with my…uh…my husbandly duties.”

      She laughed. “Your what?”

      “I know we both think of this marriage as a kind of business deal, but—”

      “But what?” she asked, her amusement vanishing. “Are you saying that you’re willing to put yourself out to seal the deal, so to speak?”

      Heck, he’d gone and said the exact wrong thing. He’d never been good with fancy words. He was better at doing. Stepping toward Alcina, he slipped his arms around her back and brushed her lips with his.

      “You’re my wife now,” he said simply. “And we both have our…physical needs….”

      Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,

      The thrills never stop at Harlequin Intrigue. This month, get geared up for danger and desire in double helpings!

      There’s something about a mysterious man that makes him all the more appealing. In The Silent Witness (#565), Alex Coughlin is just such a man on assignment and undercover. But can he conceal his true feelings for Nicki Michaels long enough to catch a killer? Join Dani Sinclair and find out as she returns to FOOLS POINT.

      The search for the truth is Clay Jackson’s only focus—until he learns the woman he never stopped loving was keeping the biggest secret of all…a baby. See why Intimate Secrets (#566) are the deepest with author B.J. Daniels.

      Patricia Rosemoor winds up her SONS OF SILVER SPRINGS miniseries this month. Reed is the last Quarrels brother to go the way of the altar as he enters a marriage of convenience with the one woman he thought he’d never have, in A Rancher’s Vow (#567).

      Finally, welcome multitalented author Jo Leigh as she contributes her first Harlequin Intrigue title, Little Girl Found (#568). She also begins a three-month bonanza of books! Look for her titles from Harlequin American Romance (June) and Harlequin Temptation (July). You won’t be sorry.

      Gripping tales of mystery, suspense that never lets up and sizzling romance to boot. Pick up all four titles for the total Harlequin Intrigue experience.

      Sincerely,
