      Brittany looked at the smile on Matt’s lips, and she felt lost

      Everything dissolved for her in that instant. She wanted to run, yet she wanted to stay forever. Nothing made sense, and she wasn’t aware that she was crying until Matt dropped to his haunches in front of her and touched her cheek.

      “Tears? What’s this all about?” he whispered.

      “I don’t know,” she choked. “This…I…I don’t know anything anymore.” She stood up and hurried away from Matt.

      “Where are you going?” Matt asked.

      She turned and saw that he was inches from her. All she wanted was to reach out, to touch him, to feel that connection. To be a part of someone. But she couldn’t. She’d painted herself into a corner with her charade, and now she had fallen in love with this man.

      “Please stay,” she heard him say. “Let me prove how much I want you, more than I ever wanted anyone or anything in my entire life.”

      Dear Reader,

      Every month Harlequin American Romance brings you four powerful men, and four admirable women who know what they want—and go all out to get it. Check out this month’s sparkling selection of love stories, which you won’t be able to resist.

      First, our AMERICAN BABY promotion continues with Kara Lennox’s Baby by the Book. In this heartwarming story, a sexy bachelor comes to the rescue when a pretty single mother goes into labor. The more time he spends with mother and child, the more he finds himself wanting the role of dad….

      Also available this month is Between Honor and Duty by Charlotte Maclay, the latest installment in her MEN OF STATION SIX series. Will a firefighter’s determination to care for his friend’s widow and adorable brood spark a vow to love, honor and cherish? Next, JUST FOR KIDS, Mary Anne Wilson’s miniseries continues with an office romance between The C.E.O. & the Secret Heiress. And in Born of the Bluegrass by Darlene Scalera, a woman is reunited with the man she never stopped loving—the father of her secret child.

      Enjoy this month’s offerings, and be sure to return each and every month to Harlequin American Romance!

      INTEROFFICE MEMO

      To: All LynTech Corporation Staff

      From: Matthew Terrell, C.E.O.

      Re: New Hire B. J. Smythe

      Please join me in welcoming artist B. J. Smythe to the LynTech staff. Ms. Smythe has clearly demonstrated her abilities to help redesign the newly located Just For Kids day-care center. But, as a concerned C.E.O., I will gladly keep a very close eye on Ms. Smythe to ensure she is working up to potential. Since I am the one who initially hired Ms. Smythe, I feel personally responsible for her success here at LynTech and, as such, will also hold weekly (or daily!) meetings with the beautiful auburn-hired artist over lunch, dinner…or breakfast. I am willing to do whatever it takes to show Ms. Smythe the ropes and help her feel more at home. If you have any questions for Ms. Smythe, please feel free to go through me, as I plan to be by her side every step of the way….
