Doctor And The Debutante

Doctor And The Debutante
Pat Warren

IF ONLY SHE COULD REMEMBERLaura Marshall woke up in a stranger's cabin, with a colossal headache…and absolutely no idea how she got there. All she knew was that there was a handsome doctor at her service. A girl could get used to this! Besides, with Sean by her side, perhaps the past could settle itself. It was the future she wanted to focus on.IF ONLY HE COULD FORGETFor Sean Reagan, M.D., that dark day four years ago was the one he wished he could forget. It had made him decide, once and for all, that love was not worth the risk. And then came Laura…and he realized that where the risk was great, the reward was even greater…

“I appreciate you trying to make me feel better. I’m sorry I woke you.”

Laura shivered.

Sean caught that and said slowly, “Why don’t you snuggle down and get some rest? I’ll stay until you fall asleep.”

Laura marveled at how easily he’d read her mind, that she dreaded being alone after a nightmare. Scooting down inside the covers, she let him arrange her pillows more comfortably. “Thank you,” she whispered, and closed her eyes.

Sean lay gazing at her in the dim glow of the night-light. She was every bit as lovely as he’d said she was. And she was going through a bad time. She needed someone to help her through it. And as he settled in with his arms around her, he thought that maybe he was that someone.

There was that protective urge again. He hadn’t felt that way in a very long time.

Maybe it was a good sign.

Dear Reader,

During the warm days of July, what better way to kick back and enjoy the best of summer reading than with six stellar stories from Special Edition as we continue to celebrate Silhouette’s 20th Anniversary all year long!

With The Pint-Sized Secret, Sherryl Woods continues to delight her readers with another winning installment of her popular miniseries AND BABY MAKES THREE: THE DELACOURTS OF TEXAS. Reader favorite Lindsay McKenna starts her new miniseries, MORGAN’S MERCENARIES: MAVERICK HEARTS, with Man of Passion, her fiftieth book. A stolen identity leads to true love in Patricia Thayer’s compelling Whose Baby Is This? And a marriage of convenience proves to be anything but in rising star Allison Leigh’s Married to a Stranger in her MEN OF THE DOUBLE-C RANCH miniseries. Rounding off the month is celebrated author Pat Warren’s Doctor and the Debutante, where the healthy dose of romance is just what the physician ordered, while for the heroine in Beth Henderson’s Maternal Instincts, a baby-sitting assignment turns into a practice run for motherhood—and marriage.

Hope you enjoy this book and the other unforgettable stories Special Edition is happy to bring you this month!

All the best,
