Ten Ways To Win Her Man

Ten Ways To Win Her Man
Beverly Bird

She was the hotshot CEO of a multimillion-dollar company. But when it came to Maxwell Padgett, Danielle Harrington was lost. Though he was too arrogant, he was also too darn hot–to let get away! What she needed to win this man was a plan….Maxwell Padgett had never been so irritated–or so aroused–in all his life! Every time he turned around, the vulnerable beauty who was messing up all his plans was plying him with home-cooked meals and soul-stealing kisses. Why, if he didn't know Dani Harrington better, he might have believed she had more than business on her mind. Was it possible Maxwell had miscalculated the real power of this mesmerizing millionairess?

She made him nervous.

“Stay put,” Maxwell said, holding out a hand to stop her.

“I can’t sit down?” Danielle asked, halting her progress into his office.

His voice dropped to a low growl. “You won’t be staying that long.”

“I’m in no rush,” she replied, proceeding to the chair in front of his desk and sitting down.

Maxwell caught her scent, that gentle, misty fragrance he’d noticed the first time he’d encountered her. He had to get her out of here. “Go harass someone else,” he said.

“I’d rather fight with you.”

He glanced her way sharply. A mistake. She recrossed her legs slowly. Was she doing that on purpose? It wasn’t possible, he decided. She wasn’t that cruel.

But his mouth went dry all the same, and something kicked at his chest from the inside.

He thought it might be his heart….

Dear Reader,

We’ve been trying to capture what Silhouette Romance means to our readers, our authors and ourselves. In canvassing some authors, I’ve heard wonderful words about the characteristics of a Silhouette Romance novel—innate tenderness, lively, thoughtful, fun, emotional, hopeful, satisfying, warm, sparkling, genuine and affirming.

It pleases me immensely that our writers are proud of their line and their readers! And I hope you’re equally delighted with their offerings. Be sure to drop a line or visit our Web site and let us know what we’re doing right—and any particular favorite topics you want to revisit.

This month we have another fantastic lineup filled with variety and strong writing. We have a new continuity—HAVING THE BOSS’S BABY! Judy Christenberry’s When the Lights Went Out… starts off the series about a powerful executive’s discovery that one woman in his office is pregnant with his child. But who could it be? Next month Elizabeth Harbison continues the series with A Pregnant Proposal.

Other stories for this month include Stella Bagwell’s conclusion to our MAITLAND MATERNITY spin-off. Go find The Missing Maitland. Raye Morgan’s popular office novels continue with Working Overtime. And popular Intimate Moments author Beverly Bird delights us with an amusing tale about Ten Ways To Win Her Man.

Two more emotional titles round out the month. With her writing partner, Debrah Morris wrote nearly fifteen titles for Silhouette Books as Pepper Adams. Now she’s on her own with A Girl, a Guy and a Lullaby. And Martha Shields’s dramatic stories always move me. Her Born To Be a Dad opens with an unusual, powerful twist and continues to a highly satisfying ending!

Enjoy these stories, and keep in touch.
