Frontier Bride
Ana Seymour

Hannah Forrester's Life Did Not Belong To HerA contract of indenture saw to that. But no one owned her soul, and Ethan Reed knew instinctively that she was the one woman who belonged by his side, for now and forever. Rugged as the frontier he roamed, Ethan had left his mark on Hannah's heart.Yet, though he'd guided her through a new land of wonder, she knew his rambling ways could only lead her astray.

“If I weren’t a gentleman, this would be the opportunity for me to say I could help keep you warm.”

“You’re not a gentleman,” she replied with a nervous giggle.

He had walked up to the circle of pines and was using one foot to scrape the pine needles into a pile. “You’d better hope I’m a gentleman, Hannah Forrester, because it’s going to be one hell of a long night.”

Something in his voice told her that he was not teasing. She walked timidly toward him and began to push the needles from the other side of the “bed.”

“So are you, or aren’t you?” she asked softly.

“A gentleman?”

She nodded.

He squinted to see her better in the dark. He spoke slowly. “I…don’t think so…”

Dear Reader,

Ana Seymour has been delighting readers and editors alike since her first book, The Bandit’s Bride, was published by Harlequin Historicals in 1992, and this month’s Frontier Bride is bound to do the same. It’s the story of a woman torn between her affection for the man who bought her indenture and her growing love for the rugged frontiersman who is guiding them to a new life in the territories. We hope you enjoy it.

And don’t miss the third book in award-winning author Theresa Michaels’s Kincaid Trilogy, Once a Lawman, featuring the oldest Kincaid brother, a small-town sheriff who must choose between family and duty as he works to finally bring to justice the criminals who’ve been plaguing his family’s ranch.

This month, Miranda Jarrett has written another of her delightful Sparhawk titles, this one, Sparhawk’s Angel, about a captain tormented by a meddlesome angel bent on matchmaking that Romantic Times calls “delightful, unforgettably funny and supremely touching.” And a sensible novelist brings love and laughter to the wounded soul of a neighboring earl in Deborah Simmons’s new title, The Devil Earl.

Please keep a lookout for Harlequin Historicals, available wherever books are sold.

Sincerely,

Tracy Farrell

Senior Editor
