Dear Reader,

If your mother didn’t tell you about Harlequin Historical, this Mother’s Day might be a good time to let her in on the secret. The gift of romance can enhance anyone’s life, and our May list promises to be a spectacular introduction. Award-winning author Suzanne Barclay returns this month with Lion’s Lady, the fourth title in her highly acclaimed SUTHERLAND SERIES. Intrigue, betrayal and passion abound in this medieval tale of a newly widowed noblewoman who travels to Blantyre Castle to secure her son’s inheritance and is shockingly reunited with the valiant warrior who is her child’s natural father.

A feisty young adventuress with dreams of the West heals the haunted soul of a handsome wagon train leader in Jeb Hunter’s Bride, the newest title from the versatile Ana Seymour. And in The Wilder Wedding, a compelling Victorian by Lyn Stone, a young heiress who believes she is dying proposes to a jaded but irresistible private investigator she’s only just met.

Rae Muir’s Twice a Bride is the second book of her captivating WEDDING TRAIL series about four friends who find love on the road to California. In this Western, a trail scout’s daughter marries a rugged hunter to fulfill her father’s dying wish—only her father doesn’t die....

Whatever your tastes in reading, you’ll be sure to find a romantic journey back to the past between the covers of a Harlequin Historical. Happy Mother’s Day!

Sincerely,

Tracy Farrell

Senior Editor
