Texas Midnight

Texas Midnight
Caroline Burnes

From enemies…to lovers?Proud Apache Anna Red Shoes had sworn revenge against Jeremy Masterson for the lies he'd written about her family. But when she confronted the famous author, the passion that burned in her wasn't anger, but the scorching heat of desire. When she saw an answering spark in Jeremy's eyes, Anna chose to disappear…She hadn't expected to become the obect of a manhunt. She certainly hadn't expected Jeremy to come after her, claiming she's put them both in danger. But when he did, Anna knew that more than her freedom was at stake–she was falling in love with the man who'd taken her captive…

She was completely naked

Jeremy’s heart slammed hard against his ribs as he watched the tall, slender woman climb onto a rock by the lake. He held his breath until he thought his lungs would burst. When he finally breathed, Anna dove back into the river.

He fought against the sensations that seemed to hit him with the force of a lightning bolt. He was a man who loved women, and he was always aware of their beauty.

But he’d never had a reaction like the one Anna had just evoked.

He had to get control of himself and the situation. His future depended on it.

During the long, hot hours of tracking her, he’d anticipated all kinds of trouble. He hadn’t thought of this. Now all he wanted to do was kiss her—run his hands all over that wet skin.…

Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,

Chills run down your spine, your pulse pounds…and you can’t wait to turn the page! It’s just another month of outstanding romantic suspense from Harlequin Intrigue.

Last month, Amanda Stevens introduced you to a new brand of justice—GALLAGHER JUSTICE—in The Littlest Witness (#549). This month, Detective Tony Gallagher gets his very own Secret Admirer (#553) for Valentine’s Day. Cupid is also hard at work in B.J. Daniels’s Love at First Sight (#555), in which a sexy police officer has to pose as the husband of the only witness to a murder in order to protect her. Except he keeps forgetting their marriage is supposed to be a façade.

Caroline Burnes takes a break from her FEAR FAMILIAR series to bring you Texas Midnight (#554). Simmering passion and a remote location make for an explosive read from this bestselling author. But Familiar, the crime-solving black cat, will be back at Harlequin Intrigue soon in his thirteenth novel! Watch for Familiar Obsession (#570) in stores this June.

Finally, Rita Herron contributes to the ongoing Harlequin Intrigue amnesia promotion A MEMORY AWAY… with Forgotten Lullaby (#556). In this highly emotional story, not only do a man and woman commit their love to one another once, but they also overcome the odds to fall in love all over again.

Intense drama and powerful romance make for an extraspecial selection of titles this February. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Denise O’Sullivan
