With Courage And Commitment

With Courage And Commitment

FIREMAN REPORTName: Danny SullivanStatus: Playing Sir Galahad to the Firechiefs Pregnant DaughterSaving the innocent was all in a day's work for Danny Sullivan. But the macho firefighter knew he'd never live down the time he rescued a hamster from a preschool fire! Still, his act of "bravery" sparked a sizzling attraction with teacher Stephanie Gray, who had blossomed from the pesky kid down the street to an ultradesirable woman. Sure, the jilted mom-to-be deserved a commitment kind of guy, but just because she inspired Danny to slay dragons on her behalf didn't mean he was the man for her. However, if anyone could transform this die-hard bachelor, it just might be this woman….Men of Station Six: The courage to face danger was in their blood…love for their women ignited their souls.

Stephanie looked up and her heart did a ridiculous stutter step.

Danny Sullivan stood there in his navy blue dress uniform, the pants and shirt perfectly creased as though he were about to stand inspection, his badge glistening. His midnight-black hair was combed back, the usually unruly curls tamed for the moment. She had an almost irrepressible urge to muss his hair with her fingers, to—

She didn’t want to go there. Not now. Not in the presence of twenty wide-eyed preschoolers.

Nor did she want to admit how her lungs seized when his eyes snared her, their color almost as bright as the royal blue the children used to color the sky in their paintings.

But he’d made it pretty obvious he didn’t like kids. They made him nervous. Very soon she’d be having a baby, who would quickly turn into a kid. Bottom line—Danny Sullivan wouldn’t be interested in pursuing a personal relationship with her.

Not in this lifetime….

Dear Reader,

March roars in like a lion this month with Harlequin American Romance’s four guaranteed-to-please reads.

We start with a bang by introducing you to a new in-line continuity series, THE CARRADIGNES: AMERICAN ROYALTY. The search for a royal heir leads to some scandalous surprises for three princesses, beginning with The Improperly Pregnant Princess by Jacqueline Diamond. CeCe Carradigne is set to become queen of a wealthy European country, until she winds up pregnant by her uncommonly handsome business rival. Talk about a shotgun wedding of royal proportions! Watch for more royals next month.

Karen Toller Whittenburgh’s series, BILLION-DOLLAR BRADDOCKS, continues this month with The Playboy’s Office Romance as middle brother Bryce Braddock meets his match in his feisty new employee. Also back this month is another installment of Charlotte Maclay’s popular series, MEN OF STATION SIX. Things are heating up between a sexy firefighter and a very pregnant single lady from his past—don’t miss the igniting passion in With Courage and Commitment. And rounding out the month is A Question of Love by Elizabeth Sinclair, a warm and wonderful reunion story.

Here’s hoping you enjoy all that Harlequin American Romance has to offer you—this month, and all the months to come!

Best,
