Dear Reader,

Sexy Scottish heroes, tantalizingly long nights spent mesmerizing a man, love stories that won’t be forgotten … all this—and more—awaits you next month from Avon romance!

Linda Needham is fast becoming a rising star of romance, and her latest,
The Wedding Night
, is a wonderful, sensuous love story filled with all the power and passion of her earlier books. When a young woman is forced to marry a dark and dashing nobleman she expects to do her duty … but she never dreams she’s also lost her heart to the one man capable of breaking it.

Lois Greiman’s
Highland Brides
series is at the top of many readers’ list of favorites. Her latest sweeping, sexy love story
Highland Enchantment
is sure to please anyone looking for a thrilling hero … and a powerful love story. If you haven’t read the earlier books in the series, don’t worry! This title is supremely entertaining romance for you, too.

Susan Sizemore is a name many of you recognize, and her Avon debut,
The Price of Innocence
is filled with the lush sensuality and powerful emotion that her fans have come to expect. When Sherry Hamilton looks across a crowded ballroom, she never expects to meet the eyes of the man who once took away her innocence. Can she now face a man she has never stopped hating—and loving?

Mary Alice Kruesi’s
Second Star to the Right
is a must read for lovers of contemporary romance. It’s tender, poignant, and one of the most magical love stories I’ve read in years. A single mother comes to London to escape her past, and finds her heart stolen by a man who makes her once again believe that dreams can come true.

It’s all here at Avon romance! Enjoy,

Lucia Macro

A Bold Rescue

He kept his body between hers and the shooter as best he could until they came to a stop lying flat in the dust of the street …

“It might have been easier to get shot,” the woman said from beneath him, her soft breasts pressing against his chest as she gasped for breath with every word. “You’re a pretty rough rescuer.”

A great confusion of feelings rose in him, flooding his veins to make his nerves tingle as if his whole body had been asleep. That silly remark made his jaw clench with anger, yet her sass, her very
breathing
, made him weak with relief that she hadn’t been hurt or killed. Her voluptuous shape, her scent, and the fact that she lay pressed against his length with her legs twined with his and her arm clinging around his neck filled him with desire.
