Any minute now she would start to cuss and bluster…
But to his shock and dismay, she only smiled and allowed those remarkably thick dark lashes to sweep over her chestnut eyes once again.
“As you say, Brooks,” she agreed demurely. “I do stick out like a sore thumb here in New York, part Irish and part Indian—a cat’s whisker from being a barbarian, wouldn’t you say?”
Missy—brave, blunt, wonderful Missy was still beneath the lonely veneer.
“No, I wouldn’t call you a barbarian and neither would anyone else within my hearing, I assure you—Marisa.” A sudden burst of possessiveness flared inside him. All he wanted to do was enjoy her company alone and keep other men from looking at her with hungry eyes.

Dear Reader,
This holiday season, we’ve selected books that are sure to warm your heart—all with heroes who redefine the phrase “the gift of giving.” Since Linda Castle’s first book, Fearless Hearts, appeared in our 1995 March Madness Promotion, she has been inundated with letters from fans asking for more. Territorial Bride is that long-awaited sequel. Now cowgirl Missy O’Bannion is all grown-up—and she’s bound and determined to become a lady to impress Eastern rogue Brooks James, who’s already shown her he can be a real cowboy. In this darling “opposites attract” romance, their love is tested on many levels, especially when Missy is seriously injured.
Rising talent Sharon Schulze returns this month with The Shielded Heart, a stirring tale set in eighteenth-century England about a warrior who learns to accept his special psychic gift as he teaches an enamel artisan about life and love. And award-winning Cheryl Reavis is back with another of her sensational Civil War stories. Harrigan’s Bride features a soldier who chivalrously marries the bedridden daughter of his late godmother. Don’t miss it!
Rounding out the month is A Warrior’s Passion, the ninth book in the medieval WARRIOR SERIES by the gifted Margaret Moore. Here, a young woman is forced into an unwanted betrothal before the man she truly loves—and whose child she carries—can claim her as his wife!
