“You have great hands,” Dan said. “Very graceful.”
Maddie looked embarrassed but pleased with his unexpected praise. “Must be the only perk of being a giant.”
He heard the dissatisfaction in her voice. “You’re not a giant. You didn’t tower over the guy you came in with.”
“Colton? He’s the perfect height.”
“You met him today, and you’ve already fallen for him?”
“Well, when I met him, my heart did do this funny thing.”
Dan resisted the temptation to roll his eyes. “Define ‘funny thing.’”
She shrugged. “First my chest felt kind of tight, and then my heart raced.”
“I don’t think that means love. I think it means arrhythmia.” He grinned. “So, you think this Colton guy has got it for you?”
Maddie snorted. “Not likely. He can’t even remember my name.”
Dan didn’t know why the idea of Colton raining on Maddie’s parade bothered him, but it did. A lot. “He’d be lucky to have you,” he said softly.
And then Maddie flashed him a smile so rich in emotion, so totally beautiful, he swore he felt his heart zing.

Hoping Santa will send you on a trip to sunny climes? Visit the romantic world of La Torchere resort with Rich Man, Poor Bride (SR #1742), the second book of the miniseries IN A FAIRY TALE WORLD….Linda Goodnight brings the magic of matchmaking to life with the tale of a sexy Latino doctor who finds love where he least expects it.
And if you’re dreaming of a White Christmas, don’t miss Sharon De Vita’s Daddy in the Making (SR#1743). Here, a love-wary cop and a vivacious single mother find themselves snowbound in Wisconsin. Is that a happily-ever-after waiting for them under the tree?
If you’ve ever ogled a man in a tool belt, and wanted to make him yours, don’t miss The Bowen Bride (SR #1744) by Nicole Burnham. This wedding shop owner thinks she’ll never wear a bridal gown of her own…until she meets a sexy carpenter and his daughter. Perhaps the next dress she sells will be a perfect fit—for her.
Fill your holiday with laughter, courtesy of a new voice in Silhouette Romance—Nancy Lavo—and her story of a fairy godfather and his charge, in A Whirlwind…Makeover (SR #1745). When a celebrity photographer recognizes true beauty beneath this ad exec’s bad hair and baggy clothes, he’s ready to transform her…but can the armor around his heart withstand the woman she’s become?

Not with a capital G of course, but unquestionably one of the Almighty’s finest creations. Maddie figured that if angels walked the earth, they would look like this guy: tall and muscular with thick blond hair and the broadest pair of shoulders this side of heaven.
Yup, the man was a god all right. And he was headed her way.
“Maddie, let me introduce you to our newest addition,” said her boss. “Colton Hartley, meet Maddie Sinclair.”
Her face froze. Her mouth went dry. Maddie forced her tongue across her suddenly stiff lips in hopes of coaxing them to smile.
“Nice to meet
