Chase watched as the mayor brought forward the pretty blond woman.

He stared dumbly down at her upturned face.

“Go on, Linese, give your husband a proper reception,” the mayor urged.

“Welcome home— Chase.” She rose on tiptoe and touched her soft lips to the side of his face in a self-conscious greeting.

His heart slammed against his rib cage. Linese. This was Linese. This was his wife.

God, she was beautiful, and younger than his own twenty-one years, if he had his guess. She was the very image of what every soldier wished he had waiting for him at home.

Chase swallowed hard and beseeched God to let him remember her, but nothing happened. He remembered nothing about her.

He was doomed to play out this charade in a life he could not recollect. And this poor woman, who had done nothing to deserve this kind of punishment, was condemned to play it out with him.

Dear Reader,

The Return of Chase Cordell is a poignant new Western from Linda Castle, an author who is fast becoming one of our most popular writers. It’s a love story about a war hero with amnesia who is struggling to put his life back together, and rediscovering a forgotten passion for his young bride. Don’t miss this wonderful story.

Ana Seymour’s sequel to Gabriel’s Lady, Lucky Bride, is the delightful story of a ranch hand who joins forces with his beautiful boss to save her land from a dangerous con man. Elizabeth Mayne, a March Madness/Romance Writers of America RITA Award nominee author, is also out this month. Her book, Lord of the Isle, is a classic Elizabethan tale featuring an Irish nobleman who unwittingly falls in love with a rebel from an outlawed family.

And another RITA Award nominee, Gayle Wilson, is back with Raven’s Vow, a haunting Regency novel about a marriage of convenience between an American investor and an English heiress.

Whatever your taste in reading, we hope you’ll enjoy all four of these terrific stories. Please keep an eye out for them wherever Harlequin Historicals are sold.

Sincerely,

Tracy Farrell
