      Memories stirred…

      Through the endless sleepless nights, she had yearned for the comfort of his long, warm body, and the closeness they’d once shared. For an instant Dana leaned into Cody’s embrace, unable to stop herself.

      His hand ran up her back to her neck and he wrapped his fingers around her nape, his thumb tracing her jaw. She lifted her head, caught in a dream of her own making, believing she could have just this one kiss, and then go back to her orderly life without a regret.

      His mouth touched hers, the taste and feel so familiar, so welcome, it made her want to cry. She shivered.

      “Cody, I’m not sure we should do this.”

      His mouth came back to hers and he kissed her again, stealing her breath, her will.

      “What should we be doing, then?” he muttered, his breath warm on her lips. “Arguing about the best way to keep you alive?”

      Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,

      Yet again we have a power-packed lineup of fantastic books for you this month, starting with the second story in the new Harlequin continuity series TRUEBLOOD, TEXAS. Secret Bodyguard by B.J. Daniels brings together an undercover cop and a mobster’s daughter in a wary alliance in order to find her baby. But will they find a family together before all is said and done?

      Ann Voss Peterson contributes another outstanding legal thriller to Harlequin Intrigue with His Witness, Her Child. Trust me, there’s nothing sexier than a cowboy D.A. who’s as tough as nails on criminals, yet is as tender as lamb’s wool with women and children. Except…

      One of Julie Miller’s Taylor men! This month read about brother Brett Taylor in Sudden Engagement. Mystery, matchmaking—it’s all part and parcel for any member of THE TAYLOR CLAN.

      Finally, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Mallory Kane, who debuts at Harlequin Intrigue with The Lawman Who Loved Her. Hang on to your hat—and your heart. This story—and this hunky hero—will blow you away.

      Round up all four! And be on the lookout next month for a new Harlequin Intrigue trilogy by Amanda Stevens called EDEN’S CHILDREN.

      Happy reading,

      Denise O’Sullivan
