SHE STRUCK A MARRIAGE BARGAIN WITH A MAN SHE DIDN'T KNOW….The fierce, raven-haired stranger who rescued her from a stampede was as untamed as the mustangs that cautious Laura Walker had come to the reservation to study. So why wasn't she terrified when Shane Bearclaw swept her into his saddle, into his arms? And why did she impulsively agree to a marriage with this magnificent, intimidating male?Shane had vowed to keep custody of his little sister. But was that reason enough to wed a skittish blonde as wary as the mustangs he wrangled? Or was fate misleading them both into believing that a mismatched pair…was made for each other?

“You’ll sign a paper,” Laura said.

“Paper?” Shane echoed.

“Agreeing not to expect me to—well, we’ll have separate bedrooms and such.”

He watched her blush. “You can be sure I’ll never approach you in that way.” He paused. “Unless you want me to.”

“Never!” burst from her lips.

“I’ll sign the paper,” Shane said hastily.

What were they doing, the two of them? Something neither wanted, that was for sure. But Shane would do anything to keep custody of his little sister, and Laura, thankfully, had agreed. So here he was, marrying a perfect stranger, and the deal wasn’t going to be as easy as he’d assumed….

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
