Burke placed his arm around her waist
Leaning over her seductively, he whispered in Laura’s ear. “Elena has told everyone that I’m your boyfriend, so I think we should make it look convincing. If it helps you to get the right look in your eyes, you could try picturing me naked.”
A vivid image of Burke that day she’d caught him just out of the shower suddenly popped into her mind—but her imagination kicked in and she saw him dropping the towel he’d wrapped around him. Her mouth went dry and her heart began to pound.
Burke gave her an utterly charming smile. “Ah, I see it worked. Your cheeks are flushed.”
“They are not,” she protested quickly, then, looking around, saw they were being watched by a couple dancing past. Laura forced herself to smile.
“That’s better. Keep smiling and let’s dance. That’ll help,” Burke said.
“No, it won’t. I’m an awful dancer. I’ll step on you.”
Burke grabbed her hand and led her out onto the dance floor. “I’ll risk it.”
Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,
The suspenseful tales we offer you this month are much scarier than Halloween’s ghouls and ghosts! So bring out your trick-or-treating bag and gather up all four exciting stories.
And do we have a treat for you—a brand-new 3-in-1 compilation featuring authors Rebecca York, Ann Voss Peterson and Patricia Rosemoor. Ten years ago, three men were cursed by a Gypsy woman bent on vengeance. Now they must race to find a killer—and true love’s kiss may just break the evil spell they’re under in Gypsy Magic.
Next, Aimée Thurlo concludes her two-book miniseries SIGN OF THE GRAY WOLF, with Navajo Justice. And Susan Kearney starts a new trilogy, THE CROWN AFFAIR, in which royalty of the country of Vashmira must battle palace danger and treachery, while finding true love along the way. Look for Royal Target this month.
When Jennifer Ballard dreamed of her wedding day, it never included murder! But no one would harm the beautiful bride, not if Colby Agency investigator Ethan Delaney had anything to say about it. Pick up Contract Bride for yet another nail-biter from Debra Webb.
Happy reading!
