“May I have my knife back?”

Morgana asked as she fastened the belt buckle at her waist.

Hugh swung his eyes back to the woman. Her intense gaze was leveled at his waist, where her blade rested in the same sheath as his dirk.

“Until I know you better, Morgana of Kildare, I think the blade best rest where it is. I applaud your skill with it. One man of six dispatched to his Maker, three others wounded. You are a dangerous woman.”

“A desperate woman, sir,” she challenged him without compunction. “I would feel far safer if the blade rested in my own sheath.”

Hugh leaned over her, deliberately sliding his hand under her skirt to find the sheath neatly buckled below her left knee. His eyes met hers. “You will be safe in my care without it.”

The rhythm of Morgana’s heart arrested. She knew exactly what he was telling her—he was the one in control….

Dear Reader,

Elizabeth Mayne’s first book, All That Matters, was released during our annual March Madness promotion in 1995, and recently won a RITA Award nomination from the Romance Writers of America. This month’s Lord of the Isle is a classic Elizabethan tale about an Irish nobleman who unwittingly falls in love with an Irish rebel from an outlawed family. We hope you enjoy it.

The Return of Chase Cordell is a Western from Linda Castle, who is fast becoming one of our most popular authors. It’s a poignant love story about a war hero with amnesia who rediscovers a forgotten passion for his young bride. Gayle Wilson, who is also a RITA Award nominee, is back with Raven’s Vow, a haunting Regency novel about a marriage of convenience between an American investor and an English heiress.

Our fourth title for the month is Ana Seymour’s sequel to Gabriel’s Lady, Lucky Bride, the delightful story of a ranch hand who joins forces with his beautiful boss to save her land from a dangerous con man.

Whatever your taste in reading, we hope you’ll enjoy all of these terrific stories. Please keep a lookout for all four titles.

Sincerely,

Tracy Farrell

Senior Editor
