“I’m through fighting with you, Rhea. ”

“I want to leave here, Joey. I want to take Nicci and leave Chicago. ”

He stopped, turned. “No. ”

“Damn you, Joey!”

“I may not have your respect right now, but I’ll have your loyalty. You’re stuck between a hard place and an even harder man, darlin’. Your future, and our son’s, are mine. The sooner you get used to that, the better off you’re going to be. ”

Rhea shook her head, her eyes wide. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying that in three days, you’re going to stand beside me…as my wife. ”

Dear Reader,

“In like a lion, out like a lamb. ” That’s what they say about March, right? Well, there are no meek and mild lambs among this month’s Intimate Moments heroines, that’s for sure! In Saving Dr. Ryan, Karen Templeton begins a new miniseries, THE MEN OF MAYES COUNTY, while telling the story of a roadside delivery—yes, the baby kind—that leads to an improbable romance. Maddie Kincaid starts out looking like the one who needs saving, but it’s really Dr. Ryan Logan who’s in need of rescue.

We continue our trio of FAMILY SECRETS prequels with The Phoenix Encounter by Linda Castillo. Follow the secret-agent hero deep under cover—and watch as he rediscovers a love he’d thought was dead.

But where do they go from there? Nina Bruhns tells a story of repentance, forgiveness and passion in Sins of the Father, while Eileen Wilks offers up tangled family ties and a seemingly insoluble dilemma in Midnight Choices. For Wendy Rosnau’s heroine, there’s only One Way Out as she chooses between being her lover’s mistress—or his wife. Finally, Jenna Mills’ heroine becomes The Perfect Target. She meets the seemingly perfect man, then has to decide whether he represents safety—or danger.

The excitement never flags—and there will be more next month, too. So don’t miss a single Silhouette Intimate Moments title, because this is the line where you’ll find the best and most exciting romance reading around.

Enjoy!
