One Good Man. Julie Miller
“I am not afraid of cops. And despite what you’re implying, I am not some snob who looks down on them because I’m a judge’s daughter and you’re an officer who serves the court.”
“So why don’t you want me here?” Mitch demanded, the top of his nose nearly touching hers.
“Because I’m afraid of…” Of what? Him? Men? What he reminded her of? What he made her feel? That he made her feel, period?
“What scares you, princess?” he whispered.
Casey zeroed in on the mouth that spoke such a challenge. Sexy. Firm and flat and as unerringly masculine as the breadth of his shoulders or the timbre of his voice.
He liked to argue. He seemed to bring out the worst in her red-haired temperament. Sparring with him made her feel strong. Opinionated.
What if he simply silenced her with a kiss?

Nick Travis had hired missing persons expert Taryn Scott to find a client, in Debbi Rawlins’s SECRET IDENTITY story, Her Mysterious Stranger (#587).Working so closely with the secretive Nick was dangerous to Taryn’s life, for her heart was his for the taking.

Susan Kearney begins her new Western trilogy, THE SUTTON BABIES, with Cradle Will Rock (#586). When a family of Colorado ranchers is besieged by a secret enemy, will they be able to preserve the one thing that matters most—a future for their children?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Julie Miller attributes her passion for writing romance to all those fairy tales she read growing up, and shyness. Encouragement from her family to write down those feelings she couldn’t express became a love for the written word. She gets continued support from her fellow members of the Prairieland Romance Writers, where she serves as the resident “grammar goddess.” This award-winning author and teacher has published several paranormal romances. Inspired by the likes of Agatha Christie and Encyclopedia Brown, Julie believes the only thing better than a good mystery is a good romance.
Born and raised in Missouri, she now lives in Nebraska with her husband, son and smiling guard dog, Maxie. Write to Julie at P.O. Box 5162, Grand Island, NE 68802-5162.
