Wedding Captives. Cassie Miles
Spence was so near to her that she could feel his heat
Thea tried another tactic. “Let’s just agree on two things. We won’t squabble. And there will be no unnecessary touching. No kissing. Nothing.”
“Well, that’s hardly fair, Thea, after you spent the gondola ride groping me.”
“I was not groping! I—”
The corner of his mouth lifted in a half smile. “Okay.” He relented. “Call it holding on. I just think I ought to have the chance to return that favor.”
“Don’t…” His blue eyes warmed as he gazed confidently into her face, and she felt herself responding, wanting to smile back at him. “Don’t even think about it, Spence.”
“I’ve got a few conditions of my own,” he said. “Number one—we stay in the present and not dwell on the past. Number two—we both keep our minds open. Number three…” He obliterated the distance between them in a single step. She should have pushed him away, but her arms went around him and she wanted the taste of his lips against hers.
Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,
Cupid’s bow is loaded at Harlequin Intrigue with four fabulous stories of breathtaking romantic suspense—starting with the continuation of Cassie Miles’s COLORADO SEARCH AND RESCUE miniseries. In Wedding Captives, lovers reunite on a mountaintop…unfortunately they’re also snowbound with a madman!
And there’s no better month to launch our new modern gothic continuity series MORIAH’S LANDING. Amanda Stevens emerges from the New England fog with Secret Sanctuary, the first of four titles coming out over the next several months. You can expect all of the classic themes you love in these stories, plus more of the contemporary edge you’ve come to expect from our brand of romantic suspense.
You know what can happen In the Blink of an Eye…? Julie Miller does! And you can find out, too, in the next installment of her TAYLOR CLAN series.
Finally, Jean Barrett takes you to New Orleans for some Private Investigations with battling P.I.’s. It’s a regular showdown in the French Quarter—where absolutely anything goes.
So celebrate Valentine’s Day with the most confounding mystery of all…that of the heart.
Deep, rich chocolate wishes,

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cassie Miles lives in Denver, one of the fastest growing cities in the country, with the traffic jams to prove it. She belongs to the film society and enjoys artsy subtitled cinema almost as much as movies where stuff blows up. Her favorite entertainment is urban, ranging from sports to museum exhibits to coffeehouse espresso. Yet she never loses sight of the Rocky Mountains through the kitchen window.
