MILLIONAIRE TAKES A BRIDE by Pamela Toth

THE BRIDAL QUEST by Jennifer Mikels

Runaway heiress Jessica Walker went into hiding as a nanny for handsome Sam Dawson’s darling daughters. But could the sheriff’s little matchmakers convince Jessica that their daddy was the husband she’d always longed for?

EXPECTANT BRIDE-TO-BE by Nikki Benjamin

Pregnant and alone after an unexpected night of passion with Jack Randall, her childhood sweetheart, Abby Summers resigned herself to single-motherhood. Jack had other ideas. He wanted to make Abby his wife, and he wouldn’t take no for an answer….

Dear Reader,

As the air begins to chill outside, curl up under a warm blanket with a mug of hot chocolate and these six fabulous Special Edition novels….

First up is bestselling author Lindsay McKenna’s A Man Alone, part of her compelling and highly emotional MORGAN’S MERCENARIES: MAVERICK HEARTS series. Meet Captain Thane Hamilton, a wounded Marine who’d closed off his heart long ago, and Paige Black, a woman whose tender loving care may be just what the doctor ordered.

Two new miniseries are launching this month and you’re not going to want to miss either one! Look for The Rancher Next Door, the first of rising star Susan Mallery’s brand-new miniseries, LONE STAR CANYON. Not even a long-standing family feud can prevent love from happening! Also, veteran author Penny Richards pens a juicy and scandalous love story with Sophie’s Scandal, the first of her wonderful new trilogy—RUMOR HAS IT…that two high school sweethearts are about to recapture the love they once shared….

Next, Jennifer Mikels delivers a wonderfully heartwarming romance between a runaway heiress and a local sheriff with The Bridal Quest, the second book in the HERE COME THE BRIDES series. And Diana Whitney brings back her popular STORK EXPRESS series. Could a Baby of Convenience be just the thing to bring two unlikely people together?

And last, but not least, please welcome newcomer Tori Carrington to the line. Just Eight Months Old…and she’d stolen the hearts of two independent bounty hunters—who just might make the perfect family!

Enjoy these delightful tales, and come back next month for more emotional stories about life, love and family!

Best,

Karen Taylor Richman

“Lady, what are you doing there?”

Jessica Walker spun around and away from the handwritten Help Wanted sign she’d been reading. Standing in the shadowed light of the moon, she shrank against the window of the local diner behind her. Her heart pounding, she fought panic, and peered at the man approaching her from his car. If only she could see his face.

Darkness shadowed the stairs, but while he climbed them, she gathered an impression. He was tall and broad-shouldered, not old, maybe in his thirties. She saw no more. A beam of light flashed in her eyes, blinding her. She squinted, then looked away from the flashlight he held. “Who are you?” she demanded back to veil fear. It skittered up her spine as he took another step closer.

“The sheriff. Sam Dawson.”

Almost on top of her, he lowered the flashlight. She stared hard, saw it now, the badge pinned to a pale, maybe khaki-colored shirt. He was the last person she wanted to see.

“Why don’t you tell me what you’re doing out here.”

She drew a shaky, but calmer breath. She got an image of a good-looking man. Great-looking, she realized when he stepped into the faint light from the diner’s sign. He had a face of angles, from the sharp cheekbones and the bridge of the long, straight nose to the strongly defined jaw. Briefly her eyes stopped on his lips, on the full bottom one. “I saw the Help Wanted sign on the window when the bus drove by the diner,” she finally answered.

“You came by bus?”

“Yes.” She’d thought Thunder Lake, Nevada might be a good place to hide when she’d left her Ferrari in a parking lot blocks from the bus station. Earlier, while riding by, a neon sign for Herb’s Diner had caught her eye. By the time she’d gotten off the bus, the diner had closed, and darkness shielded a view of the inside.

“Step over here,” he said, urging her out of the shadows and toward the diner’s door and the light.

Her heart beat harder as she followed his suggestion and plastered her back to the door.

“Where did you come from?”

Panic rushed her again. What if he asked for identification? “West of here.”

“West? That’s pretty vague.” A thread of annoy ance entered his voice. “West of Thunder Lake? West of Hoover Dam?” He inclined his head as if trying to see her eyes. “West of what, mystery lady?”
