Some fragrance stirred his brain, like a wisp of fog reaching out to him,

cooling and calming, to bathe away the feverish night horrors. Daniel raised an eyelid and realized it was Nancy’s hair, the clean-washed scent of her snuggled against his chest. She must have slept beside him to keep him from thrashing in the night, for her arms enfolded him still. She was awake, watching Trueblood build up the fire, waiting for him to wake up, as well.

He felt a strange reluctance to do so, to break the spell of her caring. Sleep was all he wanted so long as she was beside him, yet he greedily kept himself awake so as not to lose one moment of her nearness. He shut his eyes gently and concentrated on feeling the pressure of her hands, the feathering of her hair against his cheek….

Dear Reader,

Talented author Laurel Ames crosses the ocean to a young America for the setting of her newest book, Nancy Whiskey, the story of a daring British nurse and an American spy who discover love and adventure on a journey across the wilds of Pennsylvania, despite incredible hardships. Don’t miss this delightful tale from an author whom Affaire de Coeur describes as “…excitingly original….”

In Quicksilver’s Catch by USA Today bestselling author Mary McBride, a runaway heiress throws herself at the mercy of a tough-as-nails bounty hunter who is determined to make as much money as he can from their association, if she doesn’t drive him to drink first. And Margaret Moore’s The Rogue’s Return is the next installment in her MOST UNSUITABLE…series set in Victorian England. In this story, from one of our most popular authors, a devil-maycare nobleman finds redemption in the arms of a respectable woman.

Our fourth title for the month is Outlaw Wife by Ana Seymour, a bittersweet Western about the daughter of a notorious outlaw who loses her heart to the rancher who saves her from jail.

Whatever your tastes in reading, we hope you enjoy all of our books, available wherever Harlequin Historicals are sold.

Sincerely,

Tracy Farrell

Senior Editor

LAUREL AMES

Although Laurel Ames likes to write stories set in the early nineteenth century, she writes from personal experience. She and her husband live on a farm, complete with five horses, a log springhouse, carriage house and a smokehouse made of bricks kilned on the farm. Of her characters, Laurel says, “With the exception of the horses, my characters, both male and female; good and evil, all are me and no one else.”

For reenactors everywhere, who keep history and its lessons alive.

Prologue (#ulink_5efe062a-3393-53d7-a2dc-0a2bd8ed224a)

Summer, 1793

“Nancy! You are back, finally, though I almost wish you had not come home”, Aunt Jane said, wringing her hands. “We might then have been able to put him off, even hide you from him.”
