      Always and Forever, Cat.

      The irony of that phrase haunted Rory Sullivan. Just because you left a place or a person didn’t mean they left you. Some memories were burned too deep to ever depart; they remained in your mind, constant reminders of what was.

      What was, what is, what would always be for him—the woman whose memory he’d tried to ignore. A woman he’d tried to erase from the deepest recesses of his mind but had found was unforgettable. The passion he tried so hard to bury was ultimately unquenchable.

      Caitlyn Kildare was still there. In his heart. In his mind. In his past.

      Was there someone special in her life now? Someone who’d replaced him in her heart, her mind…her bed?

      Dear Reader,

      Happy anniversary! Twenty years ago, in May, 1980, we launched Silhouette Books. Much has changed since then, but our gratitude to you, our many readers, and our dedication to bringing you the best that romance fiction has to offer, remains as true today as it did in 1980. Thank you for sharing with us the joy of romance, and for looking toward a wonderful future with us. The best is yet to come!

      Those winsome mavericks are back with brand-new stories to tell beneath the Big Sky! The Kincaid Bride by Jackie Merritt marks the launch of the MONTANA MAVERICKS: WED IN WHITEHORN series, which focuses on a new generation of Kincaids. This heartwarming marriage-of-convenience tale leads into Silhouette’s exciting twelve-book continuity.

      Romance is in the air in The Millionaire She Married, a continuation of the popular CONVENIENTLY YOURS miniseries by reader favorite Christine Rimmer. And searing passion unites a fierce Native American hero with his stunning soul mate in Warrior’s Embrace by Peggy Webb.

      If you enjoy romantic odysseys, journey to exotic El Bahar in The Sheik’s Arranged Marriage by Susan Mallery—book two in the sizzling DESERT ROGUES miniseries.

      Gail Link pulls heartstrings with her tender tale about a secret child who brings two lovebirds together in Sullivan’s Child. And to cap off the month, you’ll adore Wild Mustang by Jane Toombs—a riveting story about a raven-haired horse wrangler who sweeps a breathtaking beauty off her feet.

      It’s a spectacular month of reading in Special Edition. Enjoy!

      All the best,

      Karen Taylor Richman

      Chapter One

      “Mommy, what’s a bastard?”

      Coming right after the softly spoken question from her daughter, the sharp sound of the empty, oversize coffee mug that slipped from her fingers and crashed to the floor was almost inaudible to Caitlyn Kildare.

      A soft gasp of breath caught in her throat.

      What couldn’t be heard in the sunny kitchen was the shattering of her world into even smaller fragments than that of the broken piece of crockery.

      “Where did you hear that word?” Hadn’t she known that this might
