Kiss A Handsome Stranger

Kiss A Handsome Stranger
Jacqueline Diamond

One kiss led to another and…!Lying blissfully in her dream lover's arms, Daisy Redford had the shock of her life. Her one-night-man was the Chance Foster–King of the Conquest!

Though Daisy's most heartfelt wish was to be a wife and mother, she rebuffed his marriage proposal–she would never enter a union rooted in responsibility. But her "no" only multiplied Chance's attentions. Could it be their secret desires actually dovetailed…and kissing this handsome stranger meant she would never again be a stranger to love?2001 Ways to Wed: This little book on finding Mr. Right is guaranteed to help three friends make it to the altar!

Dear Reader,

May is “Get Caught Reading” month, and there’s no better way for Harlequin American Romance to show our support of literacy than by offering you an exhilarating month of must-read romances.

Tina Leonard delivers the next installment of the exciting Harlequin American Romance in-line continuity series TEXAS SHEIKHS with His Arranged Marriage. A handsome playboy poses as his identical twin and mistakenly exchanges “I do’s” with a bewitching princess bride.

A beautiful rancher’s search for a hired hand leads to more than she bargained for when she finds a baby on her doorstep and a Cowboy with a Secret, the newest title from Pamela Browning. 2001 WAYS TO WED concludes with Kiss a Handsome Stranger by Jacqueline Diamond. Daisy Redford’s biological clock had been ticking…until a night of passion with her best friend’s brother left her with a baby on the way! And in Uncle Sarge, a military man does diaper duty…and learns about fatherhood, family and forever-after love. Don’t miss this heartwarming romance by Bonnie Gardner.

It’s a terrific month for Harlequin American Romance, and we hope you’ll “get caught reading” one of our great books.

Wishing you happy reading,
