Dear Reader

Dr. Bentley Rydel has had a special place in my heart ever since he showed up, surly and difficult, in HEART OF STONE. I thought he deserved a book of his own, and here is the result.

Over the years, veterinarians have been my best friends. They’ve taken care of my sick pets, comforted me when I lost them, and generally made my life richer and happier. We take them for granted, and we shouldn’t. I thank God for them, every day of my life.

I am also a fan of veterinarian technicians—of which my niece, Amanda, is one—and groomers, who do a wonderful job not only of keeping our pets looking nice, but of often finding conditions that we might miss, to the detriment of our furry friends.

I hope you enjoy Bentley’s story.

As always I am your fan,

Diana Palmer

I dedicate this book to all the fine veterinarians, technicians, groomers, and office workers who do so much every day to keep our furry friends healthy. Thanks!

In August, look out for three fabulous stories by Diana Palmer in one volume:

Innocence Protected

Only from M&B™

In the fictional town of Jacobsville, these three tall, tanned Texans are mercenaries, determined to protect the women they love.

MERCENARY’S WOMAN

Ebenezer was a bad boy to the core. Sally was sweet, gentle and naïve. Could she slip through his iron-clad defences and become this guarded mercenary’s bride?

THE WINTER SOLDIER

Everyone in Jacobsville steered clear of taciturn Cy. Aside from spirited Lisa, who might be the only woman able to tame the temper of the formidable loner…

THE LAST MERCENARY

Brave Micah was about to hang up his gun, until a virginal beauty from his past needed his help. Now he will do anything to rescue Callie from a terrifying criminal!

And this Christmas there’s another wonderful Diana Palmer story: THE MAVERICK From Mills & Boon® Desire™
