“I came to see my child,”
Tucker said, resting his wide palm against the front door to keep her from slamming it
“That’s not what you wanted last night,” Casey replied.
“I’m sorry, Casey, but you have to admit news like that comes as a shock to a man.”
“Why did you bother to find me? For that matter, why did you keep a date we made a year ago?”
His gaze turned intense as he looked from the top of her head, down to her pink painted toenails. “I had to see for myself if you were as cute as I remembered. If your eyes were still as green as the hills after a rainstorm.”
Her knees went weak as soft-serve ice cream. Just like the first time she’d seen him.
“As for why I bothered coming today, I want to see the baby. I need to see my son.”
The month of June makes me think of June brides, Father’s Day and the first bloom of summer love. And Silhouette Romance is celebrating the start of summer with six wonderful books about love and romance.
Our BUNDLE OF JOY this month is delivered by Stella Bagwell’s The Tycoon’s Tots—her thirtieth Silhouette book. As her TWINS ON THE DOORSTEP miniseries continues, we finally discover who gets to keep those adorable babies…and find romance in the bargain.
Elizabeth August is back with her much-loved SMYTHESHIRE, MASSACHUSETTS series. In The Determined Virgin you’ll meet a woman whose marriage of convenience is proving to be very inconvenient, thanks to her intense attraction to her “in-name-only” husband.
BACHELOR GULCH is a little town that needs women, and the name of Sandra Steffen’s brand-new miniseries. The fun begins in Luke’s Would-Be Bride as a local bachelor falls for his feisty receptionist—the one woman in town not looking for a husband!
And there are plenty more compelling romances for you this month: A lovely lady rancher can’t wait to hightail it out of Texas—till she meets her handsome new foreman in Leanna Wilson’s Lone Star Rancher. A new husband can’t bear to tell his amnesiac bride that the baby she’s carrying isn’t his, in Her Forgotten Husband by Anne Ha. And one lucky cowboy discovers a night of passion has just made him a daddy in Teresa Southwick’s The Bachelor’s Baby.
I hope you enjoy all of June’s books!

To the woman I shared an airport shuttle with who
inspired this story. I hope you and your cowboy found a happy ending.

She’d always been a sucker for a guy with blue eyes and todie-for dimples. Unfortunately, tonight was no exception.
Casey Wright stared at the man standing in the doorway of the Cheatin’ Heart. The man who could have written the How To… manual for guys with blue eyes and dimples. The man who had turned her life upside down a year ago tonight
The man who didn’t know it yet.
She was as antsy as drops of water on a red-hot skillet as she watched him scan the room. When she waved, he nodded. Walking toward her through the crush of people, he flashed a wide grin, showing off his dimples to heart-stopping perfection.
