“You Have A Very Suspicious Nature,” Duke Drawled Lazily.

“You bet I do,” Lola snapped.

“My feelings for you are going deeper by the minute,” he said, flashing her a smile that she saw as smug.

Lola’s anger increased tenfold. “Your only feelings for me are below your belt, so don’t try to con me, Duke.”

“You’re angry.”

“I’m not only angry, I don’t like you. There’s the answer to your question. Are you happy now?”

He chuckled. “I don’t think you’re a liar, Lola Fanon, so what you’re trying to do is con both of us. When a woman kisses back the way you did, she doesn’t dislike the man who’s holding her.”

Damn his sorry soul, he was right.

Made in Montana: The Fanons—born and raised in Big Sky country…and heading for a Montana Wedding!

Dear Reader,

Cowboys and cops…sexy men with a swagger…just the kind of guys to make your head turn. That’s what we’ve got for you this month in Silhouette Desire.

The romance begins when Taggart Jones meets his match in Anne McAllister’s wonderful MAN OF THE MONTH, The Cowboy and the Kid. This is the latest in her captivating CODE OF THE WEST miniseries. And the fun continues with Mitch Harper in A Gift for Baby, the next book in Raye Morgan’s THE BABY SHOWER series.

Cindy Gerard has created a dynamic hero in the very masculine form of J. D. Hazzard in The Bride Wore Blue, book #1 in the NORTHERN LIGHTS BRIDES series. And if rugged rascals are your favorite, don’t miss Jake Spencer in Dixie Browning’s The Baby Notion, which is book #1 of DADDY KNOWS LAST, Silhouette’s new cross-line continuity. (Next month, look for Helen R. Myers’s Baby in a Basket as DADDY KNOWS LAST continues in Silhouette Romance!)

Gavin Cantrell is sure to weaken your knees in Gavin’s Child by Caroline Cross, part of the delightful BACHELORS AND BABIES promotion. And Jackie Merritt—along with hero Duke Sheridan—kicks off her MADE IN MONTANA series with Montana Fever.

Heroes to fall in love with—and love scenes that will make your toes curl. That’s what Silhouette Desire is all about. Until next month—enjoy!

All the best,

Senior Editor
