Beloved Outcast

Beloved Outcast
Pat Tracy

The Wagons Went West - Without Her, but nothing could stop Victoria Amory from pursuing her "great adventure." Not even a reprobate like Logan Youngblood, whose lazy-lidded gaze and lopsided grin dared her to do things that should have made her blush - but didn't!The minute Victoria Amory let him out of the stockade, Logan Youngblood knew he was looking at Trouble with a capital T. This Boston-bred bluestocking had hair that glistened like an autumn leaf and eyes so bright, they shamed the sun out of the sky. Yep. She was Trouble - of the marrying kind!

“You are no gentleman!

“For, If you were, you would know emphatically I am not the kind of female to invite or enjoy a man’s.”

Victoria’s words dwindled. It really was rather tricky to phrase her thoughts and not be.crude.

“A man’s…” Logan prompted, raising one dark eyebrow.

She met his speculative gaze and detected an abundance of silent laughter. She wanted to hurl the heavy book she cradled at him, but there was the matter of the ax.

“A man’s physical attentions,” she said through gritted teeth. “I may be the first one you’ve ever met, but let me assure you I am a lady.”

“Well, then.”

“Well, then, what?” she fairly snarled at him.

“Who would have guessed ladies could be so hotblooded?”

She flinched. “If my blood is hot, it’s because you have the capacity to make me angrier than anyone I’ve ever met…!”

Dear Reader,

Beloved Outcast by Pat Tracy is a dramatic Western about an Eastern spinster who is hired by a man with a notorious reputation to tutor his adopted daughter. And those of you who have read Pat Tracy would probably agree with Affaire de Coeur when they recently labeled Pat as “one author definitely worth watching.” This talented author just keeps getting better and better.

Whether writing atmospheric Medievals or sexy Regencies, Deborah Simmons continues to delight readers with her romantic stories. In this month’s Maiden Bride, the sequel to The Devil’s Lady, Nicholas de Laci transfers his blood lust to his enemy’s niece, Gillian, his future wife by royal decree. Don’t miss this wonderful tale.

Fans of Romantic Times Career Achievement Award winner Veronica Sattler will be thrilled to see this month’s reissue of her Worldwide Library release, Jesse’s Lady.

We hope you’ll enjoy this exciting story of a young heiress and her handsome guardian. And our fourth book this month is The Wager by Sally Cheney, the story of a young Englishwoman who reluctantly falls in love with a man who won her in a game of cards. We hope you’ll keep a lookout for all four titles wherever Harlequin Historicals are sold.

Sincerely,

Tracy Farrell

Senior Editor
