Beautiful Stranger
Ruth Wind
SHE NEVER KNEW LOVE–UNTIL HIMRaised in a gilded cage, she was the chubby twin sister no one noticed. Now her weight loss made Marissa Pierce the kind of woman every man desired–including Robert Martinez. If only she had the courage to return his seductive gaze…A proud Native American, Robert resented Marissa's privileged lifestyle. Yet this elegant stranger understood his wounded heart. Now Robert was determined to show her how truly beautiful she was–before the princess could escape to her ivory tower forever.The Last RoundupRed Creek, Colorado's matchmaking matriarch rounds up two bachelors for the Pierce twins!
“We are going to have to deal with this attraction sooner or later,”
Robert said roughly, holding her hand tightly.
“Maybe it would be better if we didn’t see each other.”
He looked at her mouth, closed his eyes. “We’ll just…take it easy.”
“All right.” She pulled on her hand. He pulled back.
“Why do you think it happens like this?” he said, stepping closer. “Out of nowhere?”
It wasn’t out of nowhere on her part. “I always saw you, Robert. You just never saw me before.”
He moved even closer, until his hips and hers were nearly touching. “Yes, I did.”
She rolled her eyes. “Right.”
“You used to have this green dress,” he said. “Your hair spilled all over it. And you wore red lipstick in those days. Bright red, like something sinful.”
His eyes were intent, “You’ve always been beautiful, Marissa. You just didn’t know it till now.”
Dear Reader,
Once again, Silhouette Intimate Moments has rounded up six top-notch romances for your reading pleasure, starting with the finale of Ruth Langan’s fabulous new trilogy. The Wildes of Wyoming— Ace takes the last of the Wilde men and matches him with a pool-playing spitfire who turns out to be just the right woman to fill his bed—and his heart.
Linda Turner, a perennial reader favorite, continues THOSE MARRYING MCBRIDES! with The Best Man, the story of sister Merry McBride’s discovery that love is not always found where you expect it. Award-winning Ruth Wind’s Beautiful Stranger features a heroine who was once an ugly duckling but is now the swan who wins the heart of a rugged “prince.” Readers have been enjoying Sally Tyler Hayes’ suspenseful tales of the men and women of DIVISION ONE, and Her Secret Guardian will not disappoint in its complex plot and emotional power. Christine Michels takes readers Undercover with the Enemy, and Vickie Taylor presents The Lawman’s Last Stand, to round out this month’s wonderful reading choices.
And don’t miss a single Intimate Moments novel for the next three months, when the line takes center stage as part of the Silhouette 20
Anniversary celebration. Sharon Sala leads off A YEAR OF LOVING DANGEROUSLY, a new in-line continuity, in July; August brings the long-awaited reappearance of Linda Howard—and hero Chance Mackenzie—in A Game of Chance; and in September we reprise 36 HOURS, our successful freestanding continuity, in the Intimate Moments line. And that’s only a small taste of what lies ahead, so be here this month and every month, when Silhouette Intimate Moments proves that love and excitement go best when they’re hand in hand.

For my sisters, Cathy Stroo and Merry Jordan,
who’ve each chosen to serve the teens of the world,
offering hands to hold, ears to listen, shoulders to cry on
and hearts so full of love no judgment can enter in.
I am so proud of you both.
