Sullivan's Last Stand. Harper Allen
He’d done his best to protect her from himself
And all right—maybe his best was one hell of a poor effort, but he’d tried, dammit. He’d never said he was a saint. That was why he’d stayed away from her since the last time—because he knew his limitations when it came to Bailey Flowers.
But then she’d come back into his life. And now she was asking him to destroy the last scrap of feeling she might have for him.
“You shouldn’t have come back, Bailey.” He kept his voice even, but he could feel a muscle twitching at the side of his jaw. “I told you how it would turn out.”
Her eyes widened. “In bed together, or at each other’s throats,” she said flatly. “And I told you that the second scenario was the more likely one. It seems I was right.”
Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,
What’s bigger than Texas…? Montana! This month, Harlequin Intrigue takes you deep undercover to the offices of MONTANA CONFIDENTIAL. You loved the series when it first premiered in the Lone Star State, so we’ve created a brand-new set of sexy cowboy agents for you farther north in Big Sky country. Patricia Rosemoor gets things started in Someone To Protect Her. Three more installments follow—and I can assure you, you won’t want to miss one!
Amanda Stevens concludes her dramatic EDEN’S CHILDREN miniseries with The Forgiven. All comes full circle in this redemptive story that reunites mother and child.
What would you do if your “wife” came back from the dead? Look for In His Wife’s Name for the answer. In a very compelling scenario, Joyce Sullivan explores the consequences of a hidden identity and a desperate search for the truth.
Rounding out the month is the companion story to Harper Allen’s miniseries THE AVENGERS. Sullivan’s Last Stand, like its counterpart Guarding Jane Doe, is a deeply emotional story about a soldier of fortune and his dedication to duty. Be sure to pick up both titles by this exceptional new author.
Cowboys, cops—action, drama…it’s just another month of terrific romantic suspense from Harlequin Intrigue.
Happy reading!
Sincerely,
Denise O’Sullivan
Associate Senior Editor

P.S. Be sure to watch for the next title in Rebecca York’s 43 LIGHT STREET trilogy, MINE TO KEEP, available in October.
